UNIFORM CROSSING.
!. SIGNALS SOUGHT.
Maryland Commission Asked
to Force Installation by
AN-RaiI Lines.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, March 26.--The Mary
land Public Service Commission has
been asked to compel uniform cross
ing signals at all railroad grade
crossings in the State.
The request was made in a petition
filed by Peoples Counsel Clarence w.
Miles and jackson r. Collins, en-
Eineer on the staff of Mr.. Miles. The
petition says it is believed many
crossing accidents can be eliminated
by a uniform signal system.
Under the petition the % steam and
electric railroads in the state would
be compelled by April IS ito report
on the system of warning signals in
use on their crossings. The commits
sion then would work out a uniform
system and issue an order compelling
its adoption.
Ritchie Backing Seen.
Gov. Ritchie is understood to favor
the movement and Roads Commits
sioner Mackall and Automobile Com
missioner Baughman are cooperating.
Miles action is an outgrowth of the
fatal crossing accident near Gathers
burg recently, when two women
members of the faculty of Hood Col
lege, at Frederick. were killed by
Baltimore and Ohio train. The cor
oners jury found the crossing watch
man had signaled the women of the
danger of an approaching train with
a green lantern. 1t then developed
all crossing watchmen along the lines
of the Baltimore and Ohio use green
lanterns to signal both safety and
danger. officials of the road said this
custom had been followed because it
had been found that when a crossing
watchman used a red lantern to sig
nal danger to traffic train engineers
sometimes thought the signal was in
tended for them, thus causing un-
necessary delays to trains.
