Would Eliminate Politics From
Work of Accident Prevention,
‘Corporations Are Suffering From
an Overdose of All Kinds of
Remedies of a- Deadly Nature
Now Being Futilely Applied.’
By WALLACE WATT FULLER.
Contrary to general opinion, rail
roads and industrial corporations are
usually just and more than fair in
the settlement of all claims brought
against them. Startling as it may
seem, the just ones seldom reach the
eourts. Numbers of cases occur
which, upon investigation, are found
to be purely fictitious. The only
route for claims of such nature is to
let them take the regular course and
find the usual settlement ‘in our
courts,
,An illustration of this may be
found here: A passenger claimed
to have been thrown from a moving
train; he could not recall the exact
time of the alleged accident or the
exact place where it was supposed
to have occurred, but he was confi
dent of the usual negligence on the
part of the 'company, and insisted on
a payment of $lOO for minor in
jurles alleged to have been received.
Upon carefu]l investigation it was
found that no such accident had oc
cured. The road promptly refused
to make settlement upon any basis.
The case went to the courts, the
jury awarding the party $2OO on his
own statement, in face of records to
the contrary,
Hundreds of inventions are made
daily for the protection of human life.
The so-called safety-first movement
represents a fractional part, only, of
the real meaning of the work of ac
cident prevention. Safety-first, as
advertised everywhere, is naturally
a one-sided affair and wilj eventual
ly be injurious instead of beneficial
to the cause which it was Intended
to benefit, unless our railroads and
industries back it up by efficlent and
directed effort in the real work of
accident prevention,
Shoyuld Guard “Zene.” .J‘
To put accident prevention work‘
on its lowest plane is to say that it
pays. In this work, railroads’ and:
manufacturing industries should look
after such neglected factors as rail
road yards, walks, working places
in general; the handling of tools from
the sledge to the wrecking car and
on down the line of the danger zone.
Tests Prove Success, ,
Tests have proven that proper
lighting prevents at least 25 per cent
of the avoidable accidents in indus
try. In this work there is a broad
field open to the railroads and indus
tries desiring it. - Yet, from every
day reports one would come reason
ably to the conclusion that the rail
roads of the country, as well as a
number of the large manufacturing
industries, are suffering from an over
dose of all kinds of remedies. Sure
cures, preventatives, “cough-ups” and
various other concoctions of a deadly
nature are daily and futilely applied.
There are few real cures worthy of
consideration, but the writer will en
deavor to point out what he believes
is the right and just course.
Eyery would-be politician feels it
bis duty to introduce a bill; accord
ingly we read of'a multipligity of bills
at Washington to regulate Interstate
railroads or other large corporations
having been introduced to define the
rights and duties of rallroads and
similar concerns, and prescribing the
necessary remedies for all kinds of
real or imaginary existing evils. »
Accident prevention work should be
kept out of politics. It has no place
there so long as railroads and indus
trial corporations appreciate the im
portance, the requirements and the
demands of the public. True it is a
live issue of vital interest to the gen
eral public, but the rallroads are
aware of this and let us hope are
making headway in the work.
Advocates Safety Commission.
So far Congress has dealth with
meal legislation. The State Legisla
tures are also passing a variety of
gpecial acts concerning the opera
tion and equipment of trains, all of
which emphasizes more strongly than
ever the necessity and importance
of the plan proposed of placing the
work of railroad and Industrial ac
cident prevention in the hands of
capable engineers with authority to
direct the work.
Will the railroads and industrial
cerporations do this, or will it be
left to politicians?

a patriarch, fer there are also 36
grandchildren and four great-grand
children, making 64 descendants in
all. And Mr. Blackman is not yet 60
years old. |
The twenty-fourth child 1s younger

Two Towns Move 8
.
Miles to New Road
SHOSHONE, March 21.—Two Wyo
ming towns are bodily on the move
eight miles across country from one
rajiroad toc another. They are Wolton
end Moneta, on the Chicagp and North
western, east of this place. Because
the Burlington has built a railroad
which parallels the Chicago and North
western through Central Wyoming, the
latter railroad no longer considers it
profitable to maintain agents at Wolton
and Moneta and they therefore have
ceased to be points of importance.
Dismayed by the cessation of the Chi
cago and Northwestern's favor, owners
of business establishments and buiidings
in Wolton are moving eight miles across
country to the Burlington's new line.

HEARD DEATH ANNOUNCED

gy |
LOS ANGELES, March 21.-—Mrs.
Baker P. Lee firmly believes her dis
embodied spirit was transported into
the hereafter and returned to its ten
ement of clay. A religlous and ac
complished woman, wife of the rector
of Christ Church here, she is con
vinced she died, in the ordinary ac
ceptation of the word, and that her
sgoul, - winging its way back from
“among the clouds,” revivified her
body. ’
Mrs, Lee, long very ill, seemed to
be dead when her wongdrous vision
came to her. Her husband and chil
dren briefly mourned her as dead, Her
recital will be transmitted to Sir
Oliver Lodge, president of the Brit
ish Society for Psychical Research.
Heard Death Announced.
“I had been unconscious n;st of
the time,” said Mrs. Lee. “My periods
of lucidity were few and brief. Just
before the experience which befell
me, as my nurse afterward told ‘me,
my heart seemed to stop 'beating.
“The nurse suddenly started and
cried, ‘Why, she's gone!’
“She called to my husband and said
‘Come, quick, she’s gone!’
“l saw my husband come in. He
looked at me and exclaimed, ‘My God,
has it come? I tried to open my
eyes, but I could not. I said to my
gelf, ‘l'm not dead,’” but I was power-
Jess tw move. N
“Then the four children . were
brought in, weeping, and they looked
at me. Presently they all went out.
“Then my father stepped into the
room, just a 8 he used to,do in life.
He and 1 were chums. I said, I'm
'not dead.” He replied, ‘Not yet, not
yet.! Then he went out.
“Suddenly I felt my spirit leaving
my body. It was gone in an instant,
leaping out, a joyous, light and ex
hilarating releage of the essence of
life into space.
“My form remained the same, 'but
the substance had utterly changed.
It was now a translucent vapor, ca
pable, at my will, of going immediate
ly to any place,
Floated Above Earth.
“T possessed all my faculties, imag
ination, will and memory. 1 was
among the clouds, knowing the joy of
flight. Then I came down and howvs
ered over the city, saw the people
along Broadway and wished with all
my strength to be able to reveal my
self to some to let them know that
life after death was beautiful.
“But all this while I knew I was
not dead, and g 4, at_the end of a
pefod of time of whose duration [
can not form an ldea, and after expe
riencing unimaginable joys, I went
back into my body with that instan
taneous possession which had char
acterized my departure,
“The entire experience was too real
for a dream, and since having it I
have been firply convinced that I
dwelt for a time upon the edge of
eternity and knew, in part, at least,
what the future life is. The knowl
edge has comforted me because it
revealed to me existence beyond the
gravq as immeasurably more de
lightful that I had dreamed.”
