A Broadside Collision.

Two trains were in collision yester.
day at Bethlehem, Pa, with the death
of eight persons and the injury of
thirty-eight. It was an unusual col
lision, not the ordinary rear-end crash
or the now almost obsolete head-on
encounter. 1t was broadside smash,
occurring at q crossing. One train
was on its way across the intersecting
track when train on the latter
plowed into 1t. The train that was
hit was slowing down to stop at the
station. The colliding train should,
Of course, have been brought to a
halt at a safe distance. but it was not
and the collision resulted. The engi-
neer of the colliding train is quoted
as having said Immediately after the
crash that he thought that the other
train would stop before reaching the
crossing, and when he saw that it
was proceeding it was then too late
to bring his own train to a halt.
II there was ever a railroad acci-
dent without any possible excuse 1t
was this. On most roads it is the in
variable rule that all trains approach
ing an intersection must be brought
70 a full stop before proceeding across
the tracks of the other line. Then
the train with right of way goes ahead
and the other is held until the track
is clear.
There n some excuse for motor car

drivers who misunderstood the in
tentions Of other drivers at street
crossings. but there is no conceivable
excuse for the engineer of a railroad
train. And Furthermore. in view Of
the fact that such a collision is proved
to be possible by this disaster the ar
gument Is unanswerable that it should
be made to be impossible by installa-
tion of automatic train stops to pre-
vent trespass upon an occupied
track. Had these two lines been
equipped with such a device, there
would have been no collision. The
right ofway train would have crossed
the intersection safely while the other
was held without power until the
tracks were clear.
Thus do the demonstrations of the
imperative need of an automatic stop
installation accumulate in force. How
long must the travelling public wait
for this protection? How many more
accidents will be required to bring
about this reform, which is already
commanded by law. but which is de-
layed mysteriously and stubbornly in
the face Of an appalling cost?

Arms and Public Safety.

The young men who were arrested
the other night in this city as ban.
dts" after a fight with the police, in
which two of the officers and three
Of the gang were wounded. seem to
have had plenty of armament. They
all carried guns and used them.
Where did they get them? There
need be no mystery about the matter.
They might have got them anywhere
without the least difficulty. right here
in Washington or by mail or in other
cities. Any crook can arm himself in
a few minutes here at home, or If he
wishes to preserve his anonymity
quite securely he can get a gun by
parcel post under an assumed name
at the general delivery. II he should
go TO a local dealer to buy his gun
he can do so by giving an assumed
name and a fake address. which the
dealer perfunctorily requires to COM
ply with the letter of the ineffective
weapons law now in force here.
