Arrest of a well-known man

Wednesday to be but the first

by it.
Among federal men at work

The sordid death of a
woman at Puyallup late last
week should focus attention
on a Pierce county deficiency
long apparent to officialdom.
II is the lack of facilities for
adequate investigation of deaths
from other than apparent natural
causes.
This is not to be taken as ad-
versely critical Of the coroner.
l suspect he will be the first to
agree that improvement is needed.
In the Puyallup tragedy a
woman was found dead on the
heels of a prolonged drinking
bout.
Her erstwhile man companion
was arrested and faced an imml-
nent charge of murder. 1t Is not
improbable he would have been
convicted.
Then the prosecutor. beginning
to prepare his case, called IN a
technically trained and expert
examiner.
He discoyered and demon
strated. that the woman died Of
accidental stranguiation following
a probable pneumonia attack.
The incident axes one
wonder how many errors OF
commission or, more likely,
omission have been made in
the past.
Society and the accused in such
cases are entitled to the pro-
lection proper investigation offers.

guilt or innocence.
Noteworthy In Pierce county
for years has been . tendency 30

cases where II was obvious there
WAS much that needed airing.
Inquests. more informal than
court-of-law hearings, very often
bring to light previously undis-
closed facts. II nothing else, the
knowledge that such q probe will
take place in public causes OFF,
cials to take greater pains with
preliminary Investigations.
In some communities it has
been found desirable to shelve
the routine-ridden, horse-and-
buggy coroner system of the
past.
Instead, an equipped and prop
erly manned bureau for post
norton examinations has been
established.
This method, II has been deter
mined. leads to earlier discovery
Of facts and better preparation
of eventual trial evidence.
In the end II has saved the
taxpayer money because, ~ =
rule, the better the preparation
for q trial, n . trial h needed,
the less II costs.
Needed for this county, in
my opinion, is an altere d
policy and appropriation OF
adequate funds for such, often

New Records in Efficiency
Attained by Railroads

New high records in operating
efficiency were attained by the rail-
roads in 1910. according to complete
reports Just received for that year,
J. J. Pelley president Of the Assoc
citation of American Railroads, an
nOunced today. Summarized, the
outstanding operating performance
Of the railroads in 1910 follows:
l. The average amount of freight
carried per train was greater than
ever before on record.
2. Freight was transported over
the rails at an average speed never
surpassed and approximately 81 per
cent higher than 20 years ago.
3. Freight train performance per
hour was approximately twice as
good as that of 1921
T. Freight locomotives attained
new high mark in average daily
mileage.
5. Utilization obtained from freight
cars was greater than ever before.
6. Fuel efficiency in freight service
was higher than ever before.
7. Number of freight cars in need
Of repair was lowest on record.
The outstanding feature in rail-
road performance was the increase
in the amount of freight that was
carried per train. that average in
1910 having been $40 tons compared
with 813 tons in 1899 and 8O4 tons
in 1929 the year of heaviest traffic
in the history of the railroads.
Freight train performance in 1910
was approximately twice that of 20
years ago. That is. gross ton-miles
per train hour increased from 1856
in 1921 to 33808 in 1910, or 1O4 per
cent. while net ton-mileS per freight
train hour increased from 1906 in
1921 to 14O27 in 1910. or 81 per cent.
These are new high records in both
instances.
