THOSE CROSSINGS

An editorial in The st. Paul
Daily News headed Good Idea,'
brings out the Importance of
eliminating railroad grade eros
sings. The city of st. Paul, it
now occurs, has the opportunity
to do away with grade crossings
on the st. Paul tracks. That
calls to mind the long drawn
out controversy over grade eros
sings on the Milwaukee tracks
in the city of Minneapolis. Peo-
pie there are still inconven-
fenced by those grade crossings.
They slow up traffic materially
and result in more danger to au-
tomobiles and occupants.
The editorial in the Daily News
follows:
Important is the proposal sub
mitted to the city council for the
reconstruction of bridges across the
st. Paul tracks at Hamline ave. and
Pelham st.
AS outlined by George M. Shepard
city engineer, there is every reason
to believe that St. Paul, by acquiring
right of way at a cost of $1,000, car
secure S245,000 from the federal gov
eminent to pay for them.
Certainly all bridges removing
grade crossings, especially within
cities, are vitality necessary. They
not only prevent accidents but dc
away with an aggravating nuisance
A string of automobiles bent or
holiday pleasure was held up for Ii
minutes on Cleveland ave. Memoria
day by a switch engine which pro
ceeded leisurely to go back and forth
across that busy avenue. That there
was little reason for this contempt
nous interruption of city traffic wa:
quite evident. At least the engineer
could have waited to allow a lont
line of cars to pass before backing
across the avenue again.
Eventually all these tracks SHOULD
be bridged since no community ough
to permit itself to be tied up by sucl
grade crossings This is a chance t.
get rid of two of them.

WANT TO SAVE NATION
Mile I.acS County TimeS)

Too many of those who are always
talking patriotism and saving the ma
tion seem to have the idea that the
way to do it is to join secret society
and dress up in skull and cross
bones regalia to enforce their views
on others with the whip, bludgeOn
and pistol. Some of them even call
this kind of thing "Americanism."
No secret society should be permitted
to legally exist in this county unless
it's ritual is submitted to and approved
by a court of law, and the society
regularly Incorporated. Patrioteers
who are always suspicious of the pa
triotism of their neighbors are an un-
mitigated nuisance.

.S1,5OO VERDICT
 FOR PLAINTIFF
YOungster Injured in Fall on Ice-COated Stairway
 Mishap in 1883

Judgment for the plaintiff to re- cover damages of $500 was handed down in common pleas court today by Judge Miles McNiff in the suit brought by George McGrath, Jr., through his father, George McGrath ST., against the Waterbury Savings Bank. The action was brought as the result of fall sustained by the plaintiff, minor, on allegedly icy stpes of building owned by the bank. Trial of the suit was held be- fore Judge McNiff last week, deci- sion being reserved when the trial was completed.
 Judge McNiff allows the plaintiff $500 for dental work needed as the result of mouth and teeth injur- ies suffered inthe fall and gives him general damages of $700.
 The fall took place Feb. 12, 1883, when McGrath was visiting chum at 975 North Main street. It was charged that the bank owning the property was negligent in allowing ice to accumulate on the stairway thereby creating a dangerous haz- ard.
 During trial of the case, defense counsel brought up a technical ques- ton of whether minor could re- cover damages for medical treat. ment he will need in the future, the boys injuries being such that ht will require special dental treat. ment for some months to come Judge McNiff says that $500 sem. to be fair sum for such specia treatment, and he points out tha such treatment will remove an, temporary deformity of the plain tiff's mouth and teeth. Judge McNif discusses the technical aspects o the case in @ five-page memorandum which accompanied the decision h, handed down today.
 Attorney J. Gregory Lynch ap peared for the plaintiff.

Vandals Destroy
Historic Markers
Erected In State
Information Leading To The
Arrest And Conviction Of
Guilty Persons Asked BY
State Police

During the past few weeks vandals
have been begun to destroy and take
away historic markers erected
through the efforts of Mr.. ]. Alexis
Shriver, Director Historical Markers
for the State Roads Commission, and
already five have been taken from
Charles and Prince Georges Counties
The Police Department of the Dis
trict of Columbia has been actively at
work endeavoring to check any junk
dealers who might have received
these markers from the vandals. 1.-THE
markers being of aluminium are more
valuable than they would be if they
were of cast iron). The Police De-
partment of Baltimore is issuing a
circular to all junk dealers in an en-
deavor to locate any place where the
markers may have been disposed of
in Baltimore, and the State Police
Department is also cooperating in an
effort to see if any of these markers
have been disposed of to junk dealers
throughout the State.
AS the State Roads Commission has
placed approximately 200 of these
markers in the various counties
throughout the State, for the purpose
of drawing tourists there to see the
points of historic interest, which plan
has been most successfully carried
out in Virginia and other states, it is
"a matter of deep concern to each
county that markers be erected and
protected for the future.
