It wai a pitiful acena that wu enacted
; In tlie ; juvenile court - Monday morning,
when Emmet Miller was brought up
T-rhars;xI with writing a threatening letter.

one of them, Louise, hae been placed In
the home of Mrs. Dora Ahlers.
Emmet wrote tha threatening letter to
Mrs. Ahlers. He admitted that he wrote
It The letter was shown. In evidence. It
was not a ylcious letter. It was Just a
plain atatement ot the facta as Emmet

He told Mra. Ahlers that his mother waa

for her -child, who had been taken away
from her. "Bhe refuses to da anything

the city council passed a resolution stating
"the bulklina inspector be and is hereby
directed not to issue any permits for the
construction of gas plants, tanks or hold
ers until the city council passes the proper
ordinance regulating the same."
January 29 the council by a vote of 7 to 5
passed an ordliianoe permitting the com
pany to erect an additional holder on Its
property on Twentieth and Center streets.
This last ordinance Is the one Mayor DahU
man has vetoed.
The erection of this additional bolder has
been desired by the gas company for more
than a year. It ia necessary in order to
enable the company to meet the Increasing
demand for gas resulting from the constant
increase or the population tn tne city. The
material for the holder was ordered and

n the ahopa awaiting shipment. - It waa not
thought possible that the company could
supply the demand during the present win
ter, the consumption of gas being heavier
In the winter than at any other time of the
year, without this additional equipment,
and it la certain that, taking into considera
tion the growth that will come before next
winter, that It will be impossible for the
company to meet next winter's demand
without enlarging Its facilities. The com
pany has now fought one restrictive ordi
nance through the supreme court and It haa
been pronounced invalid. Thla entailed
some six months' litigation and considerable
expense. It has lately urged upon the coun
cil the passage of the ordinance of January
i9 permitting It to build this additional
holder on Its own property and In the im
mediate vicinity where the works have been
located for many years. This ordinance not
having beun approved by Mayor Dahlman.

We ftel that under all these circum

could reasonably be expected of us to put
ourselves In shape to supply the eity and
cltixens with gaa and If it ahouldNhappeu
that there la a failure or shortage In the
supply at any time hereafter we do not
feel that the company will be responsible
for it in view of Its past efforts to put It
self In a position to meet the demand.
So far aa dollar gas la concerned, we
made a proposition last summer to the city
authorities, which -Joes not seem to have
met with any great favor. If the price
of gas should.be reduced from II. IS. the
present price, to O. we would expect a
considerable Increase In our sales of gaa,

BILL TO LIMIT HCURS OF TRAINMEN
Mr.
Park Retaraa front Washing
where Ho Has Been Interest'
Ing Himself In tho
Proposed Law. '
"I have Just returned from Washington,
where I have been Interesting myself In
the" proposed bill limiting hours of labor of
train employes," aald Superintendent Park
of the Union Pacific. "The bill la now In the
handa of the house committee on Interstate
and foreign affairs, of whlcbf Mr. Hepburn
la chairman. The committee la disposed to
be very fair and desires to formulate a bill
which will be practicable and at the same
time work a little hardship aa possible on
the employes and the railroads. It la tta
purpose to give sufficient time to change
the present terminals, which will be abso
lutely necessary.
Under the provisions of the law they w.111
undoubtedly be located at regular distances
without regard to the location of existing
towns. This, of, course, will Inflict great
lose on the property owners of towns where
such terminals are now located and on em
ployes who own property m such towne.
When the government takes over auch mat
ters, of course, all private Interests are
laid aalde.
"Apropos of the universal agitation of
cause of railroad accidents the Quarterly
Bulletin of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, . which has been Issued since Oc
tober 1, 1901, tO January 30, 1906, Inclusive,
Indicates a remarkable misconception aa to
tha cause of accidents.
Crasa ji Train Accidents.
"In clasa A train accidents, which the
commission defines aa 'those In which dam
age Is reported at 110,000 or over, notable
cases ia which passengers are killed and
thoee doing damage leas than $10,000 and
down to $2,000 wherever the circumstances
or the cause may be of particular Interest'
"In the collisions which were caused by
the negligence of trainmen and englnemen
there are 217 accidents. Involving damage
to engines, cars and roadway of $3,343.9H5
and resulting Ih the death of 904 persons
and tha Injury of 3,963 others. Stated In
percentages the collisions due to the negli
gence 'of tralntnen and englnemen com
prised 70.7 per cent of the number of acci
dent and resulted In 70 per cent of the
money damage, S0.1 per cent of the deatha
and 78.1 per cent of the personal Injuries.
"In the report a of the Interstate Com
merce Commission showing train accidents
In which the men who are charged with
responsibility have been 'on duty more
than sixteen hours preceding the occur
rence and classed themselves under the
head, - 'When working excessive houra waa
co-Incident,' not necessarily, meaning that
the accident waa cauaed by overwork, the
total number of 'excealve hours' collisions
was twenty-four, resulting In property
loss of SlSCllfi and the death of twenty
persona - and Injury of eighty-five others.
The percentage of the total number of In
juries to. persons covered by these atatla-
tics was . per cent, property damage 2.1
per cent, number of deatha 1.8 per cent
and number of personal Injuries 1.7 per
cent of the respective totals.
Two Per Cent Fanlt of System.
"Of. the eighteen accidents which oc
curred in automatic block, signal systems
only S per cent of the total number was
the fault of the System; negligence of em
ployes being reaponslbfue for seventeen ac
cidents, or 3.8 per cent of the total number
of serious collisions. There were thirty-
one accident a in nonautomatic block sig
nals, only two of which were caused by
failure of the system, or less than 0.4 per
cent of the total number under considera
tion; M per cent of the accidents and over
88 per cent of the loss of life In block sig
nal Umlts was caused by negligence of em
ployes and Hot by inefficient signal sys
tems. "It would appear from the above figures
that tho great percentage of ordinary train
accidents throughout the United States are
through the .negligence of train and en
glnemen, Indicating a lack of moral respon
sibility on their part.
"What, In our opinion Is needed, at this
time. Is a proper placing of the blame for
accidents on railroads; It should be appre
ciated by the public In order tUot their co
operation may be secured In' placing thla
responsibility where 11 belongs.
"Railroad men are paid high salaries
compared with those of equal capaullitl;s
In other vocations; it la their duty to take
the tralna over the road safely. Thla la a
duty they owe not only to their employers,
but to the public at large.
. No Criticism of Employe.
"Heretofore, in the agitation of thla sub
ject, railroads have been very freely cen
sured, at th sam time should It appear
that.th emjftoy was grossly or even
criminally negligent. It has been, utterly
impossible to excite any adverse publio
criticism towards th employe.
"Lately, the investigations of some of
th most serious accidents, auch as the
one on the Southern, Baltimore a Ohio and
Big Four, with the subsequent thorough
Irwestlgalloiia. has Opened the eyes of the
public to some extant and there is now
more ot a disposition to demand from the
railroad employes better service.
"The reports ahow an extremely small
number of accident wherein It haa been
shown that th employe concerned had
been -working an excessive number of
hour, and even smaller number of fatali
ties and personal Injuria, which resulted
from these few accldenta.
"Public sentiment la all powerful. If It once
eryatallxes In the direction of censure, con
tempt or possibly punishment for the groaaly
criminal element In th personnel of the
train forces, holding the Individual at fault
up to the publio gaae In the full odium
of hla weakness. It win greatly strengthen
the discipline of, railroads and go a long
way toward lessening th fatalities and
property damage on American railroads.
"The publio ha been too charitable
along these line 'The investigations of
accidents both by congress and the local
authorities Is an Indication of that tendency
In thla direction, and it behooves the eVn
ployes to think about these thing and
, prepare themselves for a careful. Judicial
