The rjiK-tlon of Hi- prevention of Indus-ti-lal
accidents through HafcRiiardlDK m
rhlnrry by arlous devices and through
idmlnlstratlvo carp Is being ai-Uvfly con
X'cred by the American Society cf Me

olntmont tit a commltv standanllre
'nffty device for particular types of ma
chinery l one of the practical step" that
has boen auugfalnd. At the last monthly
meeting of the society the wholn problem
wan considered at lenmh from the stand
point of employer, -of liability compnnles.
and particularly from that of the media il
eal engineer.
Much has already, been l ine In system

tlona of the world. The casual visitor to
the Amurican Museum cf f-afety Devices
In the Bopineeriti building In New York
City, la Struck with the simplicity end ob-
s-nous nature of the safeguard?, there
shown, rather than by finding complicated
and InpenMia arrangements such as he
usually expect a. If any of the de.'l.s
shown constat merely of railings about
dangerous machinery rind ordinary cover
ings for revolving parts. The tact that
it Is worth while to rail attention to such
devices throw significant light on the
much greater proportion of accidents that
take place In the I'nlted States, aa com
pared with the other great Industrial na
tions, Oermnny and England.
One of tho subjects discussed by the
engineers was that of warning signs. A
multiplicity ( of printed notices has been
found to work the wrong way. ' hey have
to be printed" In six or seven languages,
and If there are many of them In a plant
they are acs.rcely read at all. One big
plant has adopted the skull and cross
bones for 'jint. of Anfirfer from machin
ery, and the hand of Jove holding the
thunderbolt for places of menace from
itrlclty. Aa nne speaker said, the for
mer Is somewhat gruesome, and there Is
need of a universal sign which will signify
danger as the red cross signifies health
and sanitation. The red flag has been
considered, but few employers care to
adopt It because of Its other significance,
that of revolution. Thla la a problem
which apparently remains unsolved.
Fool Proof Machinery.
Another danger was -pointed out by J.
W. Alexander sat Che General Electric
company. t)jt of making machinery not
oxily safe hut "foal-proof." Thla Is the
mrrrm icnooncy in uermany, ana ita er-
Vct, Mr. Alexander said, was to make
workmen careless, so that they "would
Bleep all over the machine." When trana-
f erred , to a machine not ao comprp- j
lu naively aafeguarded they were pretty
Lure to be hurt. ''".'. j
It was pointed out by' several speakers
that the prevention of accidents had been
made a vital one to the employer by re
cent legislation and court decisions In
creasing hla liability and the amount of.
damages .awarded Injured worklngmen.
Surprise was expressed that employer
had given such exhaustive atudy to ques
tions njt e,lnr1 ao little to the pre
vention further accidents, Involving; fur
ther liability.' J
It Was tha resDOiiHlbllltv of mechanical
engineers, . however, that waa especially
emphasized In that chief address of the
neetlntf, made by John Calder, manager
of a big factory at Illon, N. T. Mr.
Calder pointed out that the annual mor
tality, from aocldents In tha United
State among adult wage earner alon
la between 10,000 and 35,000, with non
fatal Injuries approximating 2,000,000 mors.
"These ataggering, but undoubtedly con
servative figures of a single year of peace
ful Industry." said , Mr. Calder. "far ex
ceed the killed and wounded of several
great military campaigns, and, when com
pared with the more thorough foreign ac
cident returns, give us Just cause to In
quire why we should be ao far behind In
conserving- the Uvea and .health of tha In
J 'jWtal worker. The figures take no ao
tturut of the many casualtlea affecting
women and young people, and they are
rarely looked into as a whole; but wben
the truth about them can be recorded it
will stir up the most Indifferent
Preservation Urgent and Vital.
"The preservation, as a national asset,
of the' lives and limbs of our cltlxens
and industrial workers Is mors urgent and
vital than any steps taken to Insure ade
quate means. of subtdsteuee and industry
!Vr future generations. Accident clauses,
F'm and Ins wise, fiave been Included in
ue labor laws of the various states for
some .years, but tha provision for adminis
tering these laws affectively has always
been inadequate" At Veit, until quite re
cently the -Mibject pf prevention of acci
dent haa signally failed to obtain really
serious eoBKidoratlon from employers and
aaf:jioyea la giaeral, and most safeguard-
- ing naa been due to; official compulsion.
"Legal obligation to " safeguard thor
oughly has not succeeded In preventing
avoidable accidents to any great extent,
except in ths relatively few cases whers
persuasion and enlightenment have ac
companied tU Oo the other hand, civil

many careful plant executives, is now coin

avoidable accidents and fstslities which
ci o not prevented.
"The scientific study snd solution by th"
tnechaidcal engineer of Individual problems
of safeguarding, supervision and instruc
tion of employes as they arise In their
daily routine will do mure than all other
existing atrrncles to bring about satisfac
tory results. The prottress of the art of
I preventing industrial acclnent depends
very largely upon the amount of intelli
gent Interest manifested In the subject by
members of the profession, whether en
gaged In plant maintenance, the manu
facture of tools and other nnpuratti. In
vention of safeguard? or tn works admin
istrative. In such matters the attitude
and action of the executive 1 all-tmpoi-tant
and gives the keynote to the whole
plant.
"All Industrial accidents are not to be
considered preventable either by employer
or employe, but believe that by proper
supervision and precautions and the cul
tivation of greater care by operatives at
least one-third of the present annual sac
rifice of life and limb can be prevented,
thus Increasing our national assets and a
large amount of human suffering and sor
row obviated. In one plant which had a
yearly average of 200 accident?, a good
deal of consideration was given to pre
ventive measures, both mechanical and ad
ministrative. As a result of such steps,
which reduced the earning opportunities
of no employe, the number of accldenta
for the last annual period was only sixty
four. In no case had any accident oc
curred, in a year's time from negligence of
the employer, and In only one case was
the Injury contributed to by the negligence
of a foreman or responsible overseer.
Chief Canars.
"In analyzing many thousands of indus
trial accidents I have found the following
to be the chief causes: Ignorance, care-
leanness, unsuitable clothing. Insufficient
lighting, dirty and obstructed work places.
Refects of machtaery and structures, and
absence of safeguards Some superintend
ents, anumber of foremen, many opera
tives, and not a few managing ownet-j of
smaller planta are grossly Ignorant of the
forcea and mechanical arrangement which
It Is In their power either to control or to
set free, with resulting danger to them
selves and others. The bright and nervy
American workman, so admirable In many
respects, is easily first In taking foolish
and wholly unnecessary chance with his
life and limbs. The exaggerated ego mani
fests Itself frequently In ostentatious inde
pendence, full of danger to himself and
others. The ragged sleeve ends, loose ties
and open Jackets of untidy machinists have
again and again been wound upon seem
ingly trivial parts in motion and, through
the powerful effect of coil friction, have
Inflicted frightful and often fatal lnjuriea.
"The absence of safeguards, though not
the most prolific cause of accidents in
planta, closely concerns the mechanical en
gineer who holda the possibilities largely
in his own hands, in addition to ths wide
scope afforded the mechanical engineer for
assisting in- the conservation of life and
limb in th operation of Industrial machin
ery, there are not a few matters calling
for his attention and for administrative
regulation at various dangerous processes
used in ths arts. Chemical, electrical, me
tallurgical engineers and other Industrial-
specialists have to reckon with risks to
health, which, though not alt strictly acci
dents, will probably before long become
charges upon Industry. Here also our aim
as engineers and humane enmlovera of
labor should be primarily prevention.
In all industries executives have to
rsckon closely with tha varying degrees
of responsibility which can be devolved on
the young persona, women ana mate adults,
respectively, who constitute our labor
forcea It would help somewhat In accl
dent prevention If In general hiring prac
tice no person of either sex under 16 year
of age was employed at or near machinery,
and no employs whatsoever was allowed
to clean machinery while in motion. Em
ployment such as described may have seri
ous civil consequences If it results In acci
dent, and any employer Is consulting Im
portant personal Interests when he takes
all possible steps to prevent dangerous em
ployment about machinery and processes
whether under statutory restriction or
not" New York Times. .

The new temple of congregation Chevra
t.nal Israel, located at Eighteenth and Chi
cago streets, was dedicated yesterday with
services of an elaborate nature and partici
pated In by prominent Hebrews from many
settlons of the country.
The new synsgogue, which cost nearly
SrC.onO, Is a handsome structure of pressed
brick with granite trimmings. The base
ment Is fitted up with meeting and social
rooms for the use and convenience of the
mi mbers. The synagogue proier Is Illumin
ated with stained glass windows. The In
terlor was decorated with
plants, as well as a profusion of cut
flowers. American flags were conspicuous
throughout the building and several of the
seakers eulogized the flag In patriotic ad
dresses. Nearly Ifi.flOO was raised during the day
by the congregation from different sources,
to be devoted to the building fund. In ad
dition to this, the women of the congrega
tion raised 11,000 with which they bought
the handsome chandeliers and other in
terior furnishings. Many letter and tele
gram of a congratulatory nature were re
ceived from former members of the con
gregation who are now living elsewhere.
The membera of the congregation and
their friends assembled In the social rooms
In the basement early in the afternoon, and
it was after 3 o'clock before the exercises
proper began with a procession which
marched Into the temple, headed by the
rabbla and canters, the president and other
officers of the congregation, carrying the
scrolls to be placed In the ahrlne.
Iter. Jacob Schraeter Officiate.
Owing to the fact that Rev. 8. Kantor
and a choir from Kansas Cltv. Mo., were
unable to be present, that feature of the
services were done away with. Rev. Mr.
Kantor's place was taken by Rev. Jacob
Schraeter of Denver, Colo., a prominent
Jewish clergyman of that city.
Following the opening prayer by Rabbi
H. Orodinsky, the ceremony of opening
the shrine was conducted by Rev. Jacob
Fleischer of Baltimore. Md. After the pre
sentation of the keys by J. Katelman,
chairman of the building committee, a ser
mon waa preached by Dr. Frederick Cohn
of Temple Israel. He took for his text,
"Let them make me a Sanctuary that I
may dwell in their midst." He congratu
lated the congregation on its fine new
temple, saying that the dedication exercises
represented the culmination of year of
labor and toll. He declared the temple a
credit to the Jew of Omaha. He spoke of
the purpose of the temple and its uses
and said there Is no religious spirit where
there are no temples. He advised the mem
bers that thla was a gate of the Lord
through which the righteous only might
enter.
"We have the freest and grandest chance
to live up to our religion In America of
any country In the world," he said, and ad
vised the members to be true Americans
and modernize themselves after American
ways.
The perpetual light was lighted by Mrs.
M. Tatle, followed by the lighting of the
Monaroha, by Mrs. Bertha Rabinowlts, and
also the lighting of the Newell lights by
written of the congregation. ' t. " '
Dedication by S. sj-odky.
8. Brodkey delivered the dedication ser
mon, there waa an addresa by Martin L.
Bugurman and greetings by Dr. P. 8her.
H. Wolf also offered felicitations and con
gratulations and the dedication ended with
a closing prayer by Rabbi H. Orodsinsky.
Following these ceremonies the members
adjourned to the basement, where a ban
quet waa served by the women,
Before the beginning of the ceremonies
In the temple, the privilege or honor of
being allowed to be the first person to
carry some of the sacred torahs, turn on
the everlasting light, carry the poles of the
canopy, etc., waa disposed of by auction
to the highest bidder, and a good portion
of the money raised during the day was
obtained in this manner.
The temple waa built by J. H. Hart
from plana drawn by John Latenaer.
Music for the services was furnished by
Heyn s orchestra. Quite a number of for
mer members of the congregation were
prestnt from Council Bluffs, Sioux City,
Is,; Kansas City, Mo., and elsewhere.
One hundred and seventy-five dollars waa
paid for the privilege of turning on the
perpetual light and tha total amount ob
tained for the honor of carrying tha six
teen torahs amounted to $30. For the
honor of being the first person to open
the door of the temple J. Milder paid 1500.

For the second time within a few
month the Episcopal parish house, 113
North Eighteenth street was looted
by burglars at 8:H o'clock Sun
day night while Dean Tancock, th
present occupant, was conducting services
In Trinity cathedral. The burglar ran
sacked the house and took away with him
two solid gold watches, a sapphire and
diamond cluster ring, a gold band ring
and a shamrock set with three diamonds.
Ths thief entered the house by cutting out
the screen from the pantry window.
A watchman near the place said he had
seen a boy about If years old running from
the house shortly after S o'clock.
Bishop Beecher (then dean) lived tn the
parish houae when it waa robbed on ths
night of December 11. The burglar at that
time stole a large quantity of silverware,
a seal set with amethysts, a gold cross
and $33 in money.
Points to Science -and Proarress of
Material Aspects of Civilisation
as Forerunners of Re
llarlons Destruction.
Right Rev. Richard Scannell, bishop of
the Catholic diocese of Omaha, In his ser
mon at Bt. Cecelia's pro-cathedral Bun
day morning, took occasion to deplore the
tendency of many people to stray away
from the church. He predicted- that If
something was not done to destroy the
spirit of paganism, as he called the move
ment, human government would be almost
Impossible In the next twenty-five years.
The bishop said. In part: "This la Pas
sion Sunday and the first day of Passion
time, when we should be mindful of the
passion of our Lord. It Is necessary for
us to be always mindful of the death of
Christ and to protect ourselves agalnat
the allurements of the world. Those who
would live on good terms with the world
can never be reconciled with worshiping
the Lord. The ways of the world are un
christian, Inasmuch as they oppose Christ
or deny Him. It has always been so, even
in the early days when the -pagans op
posed the Christians, even to the extent
of sacrificing them for their belief. This
opposition terminated only when the pagan
people of Europo were converted to the
Christian church. The - critics of the
church of those days said religion was a
superstition and was the enemy of the
rights of the people. These -charges were
msde by pagan against .the Christian
church. 1 ..-..! .
Declares Unbelief Rampant.
"This opposition has come; down to al
most our own time. ThesivlUsed non
Cothollc world thinks too' much of worldly
pleasures. Unbelief is being demonstrated
in all parts of the ctvdixed world. Ram
pant it Is under different names, some
times anarchy, socialism and the like, it
means the denial of God and denies future
life. The denial of God is proclaimed
everywhere. This is a very serious prob
lem and is the great dangen of today.
"The attitude of the world today toward
the church ia atheistic, and atheism Is at
the present time the gospel of thousands
of people. Thla Is due to a large extent
to the materlallstlo education the p'eople
are receiving in our colleges and universi
ties. The young man of the present day
aa he grows up and as he grows older will
die with his face turned away from God.
He largely looks upon religion aa a mere
legend. There are many great scientists
and men who are capable of doubting the
fects, who lead others to believe the same
way.
Thinks Scientists Dansterous.
"Modern scientists seem to know every
thing. They do not believe there Is a God.
This is the great danger of today. The
wtrld seems to be drifting toward pagan
ism, especially the' so-called educated
classes of ths present day. This is a great
issue. Human government will be almost
impossible in twenty-five years if this
movement continues to gain. False educa
tion has been the cause of all this. True
education will remedy It. A Christian edu
cation is needed. Striving to attain his
ends by corrupt .practices Is In the mind
of man today. All literature, magaxlnea
and papers that are likely to fill the minds
of people with disbelief In religion should
be excluded from the homes of not only
Catholics, but non-Catholics as well.
"If you lose your morals your fate is
sealed. Th paganism of the world will
continue to go on if some action is not
taken. Keep out of your homes all papers
that tend to belittle Christian faith and
morals."
The necessity for open spaces In the
thickly populated districts of the city,
where men can rest at the noon, hour and
where the children can play. Is engaging
the attention of Mayor Trainor, who stilted
yesterday that he Intends mwn to bring
the question before the city council.
The conversation took plnce In connection
with the proposed Improvements at Man
dan park, and the mayor commented on
the fact that with the exception of the
north end of the city all the parks were
far removed from the people who were
expected to enjoy their advantage. "We
should have," ho said, "some open space
in the packing house district, which could
be used by the men employed there and
the children of the working classes re
siding In this locality. All the parks with
the exception I have mentioned, are at the
extreme ends of the city, and with regard
to those In the north end anyone knows
that the residents here cannot be said to
belong to the classes most In netd of some
place for outdoor recreation. We want to
have places where tho chlldten of the
poorer classes of the community can play
and where their fathers and mothers can
come out In the evening and get refreshed
after living the whole day In crowded
homeB."
Artlou on Mandnn Park.
Same action. It Is expected, will be taken
tonlRht by the council In connection with
Mandan park. A report was looked for
last meeting from the committee that made
an Inspection of the park In view of the
proposed Improvements by the park board.
The recommendation of the board Is that
W.OnO of the S15.000 bond Issue be devoted
to buying a portion pf ground of P. H.
Barrett, to provide an entrance to the
grounds. His plot consists If a little over
five acres, for which J.'.OIX) Is asked, and
the remaining $1,000 will be expeaded in
carrying out the work. The object of the
appointment of the committee waa to de
termine by personal inspection If this were
the most feasible and least expensive way
of getting an entrance to the park.
Fx plosion Spare at Bank.
The officials of the Stock Yards National
bank had a scare and a hurried run to the
bank last night. Some people passing the
building said that they heard two ex
plosions, and that then the lights went out.
The watchman found the lights out and
Informed the officials and the police. Cap
tain Dworak and Officer Potach hastened
to the place and, with the officials, made
a thorough examination of the building,
but could not discover anything to account

Tearing Down the Old
High School Building
By Victor Rosewater, Editor of The Bee.
While fully appreciating ths splendid new building of which Omaha may
well be proud. I will be sorry to see ths work of tearing down ths old High
school completed. In mors than ore case two generations of Omaha children
have gone to school in that building, and thua have become attached by th
strongest ties of sentiment.,,,
I bellevs I am on of thi few, although, of course, there are others, who
never attended any other public school, and who went through from the first
day of th flret grads to graduation from the High school In tbs same building.
I have a fair remembrance of tint first day. It was In Beptembsr, 1ST,
and my first teacher waa a Miss Weeks. There waa such a crowd of new
comsrs Just starting to school that I. and a doscn more, bad te sit several days
on the edge of th teacher's plattoun before benches were provided for us.
Gradually the High school growing from year to ) ear crowded out tha
grades until thvy Were all transferred to ths new Central school building on
Dodge street, and the old building given over exclusively to high school pur
poses, only In turn to be autgrown and supplanted.
