Failure of Workmen to Stop, Think Blamed for Most Railroad Accidents Purse Snatchers9 Hurry Lands 3 In Jail 7 Attendants At Hospital Suspended Reinstatement I Ki- 1 M- I I II i I II I lit 'I ia-' KK 4 ye -v-V Photo. Otto D. Milburn Delinar Cut In Mishaps Told At Meeting Failure of workmen to stop and think was stressed as the cause of most accidents many of them affecting the worker's family for generations at the all-day re gional safety meeting of the Association of American Railroads which adjourned Friday afternoon at the Brown Hotel.

Otto F. Goss, Monon Railway, described the death of four of his friends, killed because they didn't take time to think, whose mangled bodies "I helped nick up from the railroad tracks and place in a bread basket." Worker Discipline Stressed. Citing causes of such accidents, he said, "My blood runs cold each time. I see a man cut across the rear end of a string of cars, not knowing at which moment they may suddenly be backed." E. C.

Cavey, Washington, Baltimore Ohio Railroad super intendent, stressed discipline of workers in heeding safety education, which, when first started, caused criticism that its measures would take so much time freight shipments would be delayed. Safety Speeds Freight. "But compliance with safety measures," he said, "speeded freight shipments from 38 per cent on time to 98 per cent almost instantly with less men killed and injured." The 200 rail officials from East and Midwest lines then heard Fox, Jackson, master mechanic of the Illinois Central, say that the workman looks to the foreman for safety instruction; A county patrolman's vigilance in controlling traffic speed through a school zone Friday afternoon broke up a purse-snatching trio's depredations in mid-flight, and landed the three in jail under a variety of charges. When flagged down, they were fleeing from the scene of their latest purse-snatching, and had the pocketbook under the back seat of the car. Police said they confessed five such violations and the theft of the automobile.

Karl H. Kurkamp, 335 N. 41st, wife of a Kentucky Indiana Railroad mechanic, expressed the appreciation of wives and mothers of men employed by railroads using safety measures. Women Appreciate Safety Work. "We realize the danger of the work our men are doing, and we are comforted by the thought that every effort will be made to guard against accidents." W.

J. Patterson, Interstate Commerce Commission Bureau of Safety director, said that the final Mishap Cut To County Patrolman Pat Ross, handling traffic at the Mill Creek School on Dixie Highway, goes credit for the arrest. He flagged the car when it appeared to be going too fast to enter the zone. As he did so he noticed the cardboard license plate, and as the car was pulled alongside him, he started questioning the three occupants. This led to bad cases of the jitters for all three, and a call to headquarters.

The call established that Patrolman Ross had stopped a suspicious automobile. Further check showed that it belongs to Norman Curtis, 2112 Lauderdale attorney and State Representative. It had been stolen Sunday. Questioned by County Police Chief Frank Cas-sell, the youths admitted stealing the car and using it in purse-snatching activities. They were placed in the custody of city police.

The youths identified themselves as Otto D. Milburn, 24, of Rail Aid Credited With the foreman looks to the supervisor, and the supervisor looks to both for results. In the morning session, W. II. Cameron, Chicago, managing director of the National Safety Council, said, "Workmen now cooperate in accident prevention measures because they see their value in uninterrupted pay checks." He said the annual cost of industrial accidents in 1938 was reduced $100,000,000 from 1937, and that railroad accidents had been reduced 90 per cent by long periods of safety education.

Causes of the remaining 10 per cent of accidents, he said, were six "inadequate guarding, defective substances or equipment, W. J. Patterson.

Eliminated. and to the accompaniment of constant from the bureau, wooden rail- cars were replaced by steel, and Depends On Trial, Dr. Lyon Says Hopkinsville, March 17 Seven Western State Hospital attendants indicted on charges of mistreating patients, were suspended today pending disposition of their cases.

Dr. A. M. Lyon, superintendent, in suspending the men, told them in a statement handed to each that "if, upon trial, you are acquitted, you are entitled to be reinstated to the position held when accused. You should also receive compen sation for time lost if you are not guilty." Dr.

Lyon said the seven attend ants were Ellis Boley, Todd County; H. C. Fiers, Livingston; Russell Sholar, Trigg; Everett Overfield, Henderson; Carl Finney, Lyon Herman Oglesby, Hopkins, and S. W. Hurt, Todd.

Abusing Patients Charged. Charges of abusing patients were made against each of the men by the Christian County grand jury, investigating conditions at the insane hospital at the behest of Circuit Judge Ira D. Smith. Judge Smith tonight said trials of the seven would be postponed until the June term of Circuit Court. He said Commonwealth's Attorney John T.

King informed him he would not be willing to set the cases for the present term because they might not be ready for trial. Delay Is Explained. Former Police Judge Alvan H. Clark is attorney for the men under indictment. Dr.

Lyon's statement said in part, "Following my conscience and better judgment for the welfare of the hospital, you are suspended from further duty on this Friday, March 17, until this action will have been tried in court." The superintendent said he had delayed his action until the in vestigation had been completed for two reasons: First, he said wanted to have time to study all the allegations made by the jury, and second, he had to make ar rangements to get additional help to replace those suspended. Dr. Phillips Denies Charge. Completing its investigation yesterday, the jury described con ditions at the institution as "horrible." Ten indictments, including one against Dr. C.

C. Phillips, former ward physician, were returned. Dr. rhillips, now acting clinical director at the Eastern State Hospital at Lexington, denied the charge. Dr.

Lyon said he had been at the hospital only a month and that he was making "every effort to build up a staff and secure trained attendants and the best and most modern equipment." Outlining his objectives, Dr. Lyon said they were: "First, the humane and tender care of the patients; second, restoration of the dwarfed, warped, distorted and broken personalities with which we deal, and third, to be as conservative as possible with the taxpayers' money in obtaining the above goals." New Instructions Issued. Instructions issued to attendants this week by the superintendent said, in part: "Attempt to create an infectious relationship through genuine, personal, kindly and understanding interest. Learn the art of being human. "Make the patient feel at ease and comfortable.

Do not attempt to exact too much from an autistic personality at first the most precious and coveted possession of the. patient is his individual personality. Make him feel that his rights are guarantcea." Unemployment Board Gets Sum From U. S. Mr.

Patterson, who spoke In Louisville Friday before a regional meeting of the Safety Section, Association of American Railroads, said that his bureau was created after passage of the Railroad Investigation Act in 1911. Prior to this time reports of railroad accidents were hard to get and very sketchy in outline, Mr. Patterson said. Says Explanations Brief. "It was not uncommon," he explained, "for reports of a collision resulting in the deaths of eight or ten persons to bear the brief notation, 'cause not ascertained." today passengers may travel thousands of miles, Mr.

Patterson said, never seeing a wooden car. There are now six laws administered by the bureau, all with the intention of protecting railroad passengers and employes against accident. Hours and working conditions regulated by these laws as well mechanical equipment. The bureau never has to meet the hostility and iack of understanding nowadays that were its lot twenty-five years ago, Mr. Patterson said.

Railroads, suspicious of regulatory legislation, were slow in co-operating with the new bureau, but ex Schoen-of The Manchester Guardian In Clay County, with a valuable addition to the scant store of scientific data on type lice.

They said they had left the car on the street every night since Sunday with the changed license plates. They had Tennessee license plates under the back seat of the motor, as well as its proper plates.

He added the board had not notified him of enactment by Congress this week of the first $9,000,000 deficiency bill and he did not know how much of that would be available for State commissions, and had no advice from the board as to money for April, May and June expenses. Barnes said the board allotted the commission $220,000 for the first quarter of this calendar year and had not sent $79,000 of that.
