April % last, between two Illinois
Central passenger trains being oper.
ated over the Northern Alabama Rail
way, which resulted in the death OF
two employees and the injury OF "a
passengers and IL employees.
The incident. the report said. was
caused by the failure of southbound
train No 9 to take a siding. as re
qured by the meet orders with train
No. 10, for which "Engineman Boone
and Conductor Blackmon are respon

Regarding the conductors obliga
ton. the report said the accident was
but one of several in which the train
porter apparently not only was per
forming duties which should have
been performed by the conductor, but
In which the train porter apparently
was more interested In the safe opera

The case at hand" it was added
affords a good illustration of the re
suits of such a situation"
The report also pointed out thai
had an adequate block signal been ir

agencies a truly national circulation.

there Is total circulation of 5000, 900
for religious publications.
These weekly, monthly and quarter.

dividually their calculations were far
too small to pay advertisers TO con-
