Lawson Tells Awful Toll of Hu
, man Life In Arguing for Sep
aration of Grades
• > r| WAY COMMISSION
HEARS CASE PRESENTED
Members of Board and Others
Interested Visit Crossings
—Hearing Adjourned
Fifty-five lives have been sacrificed
at Doquindre st. crossings in the last
eight yeses, according to a statement
made by Corporation Counsel Law
son in his argument, In the council
chamber, Wednesday morning, before
the state railway commission, to In
duce that body to .compel the Grand
Trunk to separate the grades between
Jefferson and Holbrook-aves.
▲ map was presented showing the
locations where 36 of these accidents
occurred.
"An investigation will show that
the toll of life at these unprotected
grade crossings is increasing as the
city grows larger,” said Lawson.
“In determining the necessity of
separating these grades, the cost in
money should not be weighed against
the coat In human life.
“For 20 years the city has been try
ing, without success, to properly safe
guard these crossings. The <muncil
committee on grade separation, un
able to come to any agreement with
the railroad company, has been com
pelled to bring the matter before the
railway commission and appeal for
an order under the itatute which
gives to the commission the power to
compel railroads to separate danger
ous grades.”
“This commission does not want
much proof of the necessity of sep
arating grades of a railroad coming
into n city of 600,000,” remarked Law
ton T. Hemkns, chairman of the com
mission. “Grade separation work la
being carried on In all the large
cities of the country at the present
time.”
City Engineer McCormick produced
a map prepared by the city engineer’s
staff In 1904 showing n proposed plan
for separating the grades on Dequln
dre-st. by depressing the tracks 22
feet below grade, south of Gratiot
ave., and using subways north of that
thoroughfare.. Aocording to his plan
It would not be necessary to raise
the grade of. Gratlot-ave., he said.
The dty engineer could give no es
timate on the probable cost of this
work to the railroad, and he was a
trifle hasy on other data connected
with the plan, but he stated that he
did not think the change in grade
would interfere with shippers along
Dequindre-st. In other grade separa
tion work lo the city it has never
been necessary to depress the tracks,
and the engineer was unable to argue
from precedeat.
Coroner Rothacher was also called
ass witness, and he reviewed the cir
cumstances surrounding severs! re
cent deaths occurring at Dequindre
st. crossings. The coroner said that
the crossings st present were not
properly guarded day and night.
L. C. Stanley, attorney for the
Grand Trunk, argued before the com
mission that the city ought to give
figures on the cost estimate, making
the point that the cost might be so
great that the commission would not
be warranted In ordering the grade
separation work.
Chairman Hemans suggested that
the necessity for the grade separation
could be determined first and then the
city and railroad engineers could pre
pare the cost figures. '
Attorney F. A. Behr, representing
the Dequlndre-st. shippers, made it
plain that the latter are not anxious
for a separation of the grades under
Engineer McCormick’s plan because
of the* Injury It may do them.
The commissioners, accompanied by
city and railroad officials and a num
ber of shippers, inspected the grade
crossings Wednesday afternoon. The
commission will hear the argument of
the railroad attorney* later.

Police Believe Salavator Onriaa
I* Man Who Shot Down
Former Detective
Chief of Detectives Robert Palmer
declared, Wednesday morning, that
ho was satisfied that the man who
Ihot Ferdinand Palma Monday night,
is in a cell in police headquarter*,
and Detective* Ruggers, Bolone and
others are now devoting their energies
toward getting evidence placing the
gun man, and an alleged accomplice,
who la also under arrest, in the vicin
ity of the crime.
Captain Palmer say* thut the po
lice believe that Salvatore Clpriano,
or Sam Clpriano, the Anglicised ver
aftm of his name, is the man who
sent a hall of leaden slugs from the
barrel of a sawed off shotgun, through i
the window of Palma's bank as the
Italian leader arose from his -desk
and faced the window. That Palma
will be able to directly accuse his as
sailant If he so chooses, is the belief
of the police.
It is said the Clprldno and Salvatore
Stefano were the two meu whose
T;ame* were given to Judge Connolly
by Palma, shortly after he was shot,
and before he was assured of recov
ery.
Detectives are trying to trace the
ownership of the shotgun.
- Detective Bolone is also working on
the theory that a hired assassin may
have fired the shot, and he has the
description of a mysterious Italian
who was seen lurking near the Palma
bank. s
Palma is recovering in St, Mary’s
hospital.
