And ' the judge rescinded the jail
sdntenco and imposed a very light fine,
and Charles Schmidt went home to his.

Value of Human Lives
The startling information is con
veyed in the report of the interstate
commerce commission, relating to rail
road accidents, that during 1903 there
were 9,840. fatalities in America from
this cause. It is shown that deaths
from railroad accidents in this coun
try dvuage one person to every 2,
000,000 that travel, while in Great
Britain the rate is one death to every
48.000.000 passengers.' The raflroads of
Great Britain and Ireland in 1903 car
ried 1,194,833,000 passengers,' and of
these but 123 were Wiled and 1,912
were injured. During the same year
American railroads carried pnly 694r
89,1,535 passengers, and out of these
there were 355 killed and 8,231 injured:
These figures also include employes.
The cosni.MJssion reports that since
the adoption of the airbrake the fatal
ities from accidents liave been reduced
32 per cent. There' are thousands of
freight iiains running every day.
