The
Standard,
The Engineer;
and fflr. Mellen
The Bridgeport Standard, which, has acquired a new
management and new ideals, : printed on its nrst page,
Friday, a sensational announcement that "Mellen says
. engineer ia to blame for wreck," and on its last page a
tearful appeal to withhold
was not intended as a rebuke
withheld judgment, but to "the yellow press, which thrives
iby attacking somebody, or something.'
If our contemporary were owned and edited by a
i director of the JSew Haven roaa it couia scarcely go
If urtherdnodef ending the railroad slaughters, which have
terrorized Connecticut.
There never has been a wreck on the New Haven road
lirrwhichithe engineer has been killed,in which Mr. Mellen,
ior somebody;- else,.-has failed to "BLAME THE ENGI
?HEER." . . . ,
ButH3omtetiines-tKe Interstate Commerce Commission,
itHecoroner. for Fairfield county, the prosecuting authori
HdesvforJ'Fairfieldcounty, the.PublicUtilities Commission,
or all ofthem,nave decHned"to accept the convenient view,
iandhave sometimes recommended criminal indictments of
jveryirmoortantvrailroad officials.
MrMeHexris at thismioment under indictment for the
Mllingan the-Westportwreck, if we mistake not,although
jthe iisml'rnculpation ofthe engineer-as the sole offender
jwas attempted.
" Under the circumstances it would have been rather
.more dignified and intelligent in Mr. Mellen to let the
duly -instituted' public authorities place the blame.
v 'And' we further suggest, as a matter of business pru
dence1 and, ordinary common sense, that our contemporary
ought to at least pretend to deplore railroad killings, and
to effect to desire the blame for those that have occurred
to be placed exactly where it belongs. Some alliances are
exceedingly patent,' and might be nursed to usefulness by
& tittle judicious dissimulation , ' ' -
It was also this is merely an opinion given ot pure
desire to assist our contemporary to a less , spectacular
situation injudicious to apologize for "accidents on
American railroads." This would have been just as ef
fective some other day,and not so extraordinarily apparent
as an apology for the Stamford killings.
When this newspaper considers accidents on the New
Haven lines, it makes the comparison against the com
pany's own record for former years, taking into consider
ation that from time to time the very authorities to
whose judgment our contemporary appeals though it has
accepted Mr. Mellen's judgment which have variously
found that the crossovers of the company were too short,
its signals not modern, its cars not up-to-date? its train
. crews too scanty and its methods singularly prolific of
death and maiming injury.
For our own part, we say that quite the yellowest at
' tribute known to us is the disposition of men in'places of
trust in the community to lay upon the shoulders of brave
and dutiful men the constant burden of a grievous blood
i shedding that is not theirs.
"Within two years five
large fatalities on the 22 miles o line between .Bridge
port and Stamford.
At Bridgeport, July 12, 1911, 12 were killed and 100
injured. ,
At Fairfield, June 8, 1911, four were killed.
At Greens Farms,November 16, 1912, 35 were injured.
At Westport October 3, 1912, nine were killed and 50
Injured.
At Stamford, June 12, 1913, six were killed and 20
injured.
The engineers in charge of these trains numbered five
and their firemen five. Three engineers and three firemen
perished.
In never a one of these wrecks did an engineer or a
fireman jump. None quit his post to save himself.
The engineer who rides in the cab, and the fireman
who rides beside him, rides with his life in the balance.
lit does not become the pompous and the overfed, the
insolent and the stupid, crass servitors of a blind plu
tocracy, to shout too soon and too loudly "The engineer is
to blame."
Engineman Doherty, on the witness stand, his liberty
at stake, shaken by his terrible experience, and by the
death which he almost shared, weeps like a man. He
tells his story, blaming none, except as the facts cast
blame.
Why should Mr. Mellen cast the first stone ? Why
Ehould The Standard rush to praise" Mr. Mellen, because
he casts it?
THE ENGINEER IS TO (BLAME ! It is an an
cient story, but the sound of it is less convincing than of
yore.

who recently announced his retirement
from the post of minister of foreign
affairs In the Huerta-Felix Diaz in
stead of a government. De la Barra
is still a. comparatively young man,
as he will pass the half century mark
today. It is understood that he en
tertains ambitions to become president
of Mexico, but, being young, a diplo
mat, and having due regard for his
health and an entire skin, he has de
cided to wait a while. ' Running for
president in Mexico is not. Just at this
time, the most healthful occupation
in the world.
De la Barra was born on June 16,
1863, and was educated at the College
of the City of Mexieo, later studying
law at the Escuela iNaclonal Jurlspru
dencia. After several years as a law
yer and a member of the Mexican Con
gress, he began his diplomatic career
under Portflrio Diaz as minister to
South American countries, and later
to Belgium and Holland. In 1908, he
was appointed Mexican minister to the
United States, but was recalled In
1911, .when Czar Portflrio gave into his
hands the portfolio of Minister of For
eign Affairs. A few weeks later Diaz
resigned, on condition that de la Barra
become provisional president. The
diplomatic de la Barra, after the elec
tion of Madero, landed on his feet as
skilfully as a feline, and became
friend, supporter, adviser and Italian
agent of the new executive of the per
turbed country. He returned to Mex
ico from Italy in April of last year,
still proclaiming himself a Maderist.
After the last revolution, however, de
la Barra landed right side up -with
care, and was made foreign minister
of the Huerta-Diaz regime. Quite
different was his fate from that of
other leading Maderists, . who were
shot "while trying to escape."
Suave, polished, polite, fluent ot
speech in French and English as well
as Spanish, de la Barra is the type
of diplomatic excellence, blowing hot
and cold, carrying water on both shoul
ders. Sir Melville Leslie Maenaghten, the

ana young manhood were spent in
Bengal, and he was thirty-live when
he returned tn "Flne-ln-nrl h.,tn
remarkable career aa an arch foe of
criminals. In 1899 he became chief
constable, and in 1903 thp had nf th
Scotland Yard detective bureau. One
of the first of the many cases solved
y ir JM.eivine had to do with the
terrible crimes of the mysterious "Jack
the TMpper." who killed
in London a quarter of a century ago.
umy recently the retiring chief of the
London detectives admitted that he
had discovered the identity of the in
sane "ripper," and that the fiend es
caped, the meshes of the law hv rm-
mitting suicide. He refused, however,
to make public the 'name of the man
who for months terrorized London.
One of the most democratic, of men
who ever sat on a throne is G-ustav
V. of Sweden, son of ' the immortal
Oscar II, and great-grandson of Mar
shal Bernadotte, founder of the pres
ent Swedish dynasty. Gustav cele
brates his fifty-fifth birthday today.
and the day will be celebrated as a
holiday throughout the country, and
by many Swedes on this side of the
Atlantic.
Sitting on a throne, in regal state,
surrounded by fawning flatterers, maj
be pleasing to some monarchs, but not
to Gustav. He prefers a bench, and
is never happier than when discussing
Socialism, the relations of capital and
labor, woman's suffrage, and other
vital topics, with his . workingmen
friends.' He has a number of boon"
companions among the "proletariat,"
some of them enthusiastic Socialists,
ana xne aiscussions in Gustav s garden
where the informal meetings are held,
are always earnest and at times acri
moniously argumentative. - Gustav dis
likes nobody so much as the men who
always agree with him, and, in this
respect, he has no reason to find fault
with his workingman friends.
No other living morarch " goes about
so freely among his subjects as Gus
tav. Nearly every day he takes long
walks through the streets and parks
of Stockholm, without attendants or
guards, and with no thought of dan
ger. Shortly after he came to the
throne, in 1907, the King spent a day
toiling as a stevedore, carrying coal
from a ship, in order that he might
gain first-hand knowledge of the con
ditions of such laborers. He also has
worked at other trades, in periods of
labor troubles. The result has been
the passing of laws vastly Improving
the status of Swedish workmen.
The Bernadottes have always been a
remarkably brilliant and gifted fam
ily, and Gustav and his sons are quite
able to live up to the traditions of
the house. The Crown Prince Gustav
Adolph, who married Princess Margar
et of Connaught, eldest daughter of
the Duke and Duchess of Connaught,
is an able, forceful and stalwart young
man, and a famous sportsman. In
deed, love of outdoor pastimes and
athletic sports is a characteristic of
all the members of the Swedish royal
family. The Crown Prince, and bis
English wife as well, are expert ski
runners and excellent skaters, and the
Crown Princess is also a crack fencer
and the patron of a ladies' hockey
club. Prince Wilhelm, second son of
King Gustav, is president of the Roy
al Swedish Yacht Club, and a devotee
of all the winter sports for which
Sweden is famous. He married the
Grand Duchess Maria Pavlowna of
Russia, who is also a thorough sports
woman. The Swedish royal family, as the
reader probably knows, comes from
Marshal Bernadotte, one of Napo
leon's great officers, who was elected
crown prince of Sweden in 1810 and
succeeded to the throne in 1818. Berna
dotte ' came of an obscure family of
French peasants, but was a man of
brilliant attainments in both peace and
war.
The first or organization meeting of
the American Medical association, . the
great international society of physi
cians which will hold its 1913 conven
tion in Mineapolis during the week,
was held in New York in 1846. It
was organized along the" lines of the
British Medical association, founded
fourteen years earlier. The first as
sociation iof physicians Inl America
was the New Jersey State Medical
fwJety.- founded in 1766. The first.
permanent resident physician in Amer
ica was Dr. John Pot, who settled in
Virginia in 1610. Dr. Samuel Fuller,
who came over on the Mayflower in
1620, was the first in New England.
Most of the early .physicians were
taught the healing art by practition
ers to whom they were apprenticed for
from three to seven years. The first
law for the regulation of medidal prac
tlce was passed " in Massachusetts in
1649. The first . hospital was opened
in Philadelphia in 1756. INine years
later the HJniversity of Pennsylvania
established its medical department.
The term "doctor" was first applied
to American "physitians" in 1769. The
first medical Journal, the Medical Re
pository, was Issued in 1771. Eliza
beth Blackwell, the first woman physi
cian, graduated in 1849.
The first man to sing the immortal
hymn, "Lead, , Kindly Light," was a
boatman, the place an orange boat
becalmed on the Mediterranean off
the Island of Caprera, the .time eighty
years ago today, June 16. 1833. John
Henry Newman, afterward the great
Cardinal, was a passenger on the boat.
Ill in body and mind, he was idling
in the Mediterranean in the hope of
recovering his health. He was es
pecially depressed on that day when
the orange boat was becalmed, and
sought to soothe -his spirits by com
posing a hymn. The result was "Lead,
Kindly Light." The composition oc
cupied but a few hours, and the boat
man, who spoke English and was pos
sessed of a fine voice, was asked to
sing it. As the day melted into dark
ness a breeze sprang up, and the be
calmed voyagers were guided by the
"kindly lights" along the Caprera
shore into a safe harbor. The com
poser, with health restored, soon re
turned to Ettgland, and became a lead
er in the Oxford movement until in
1845 he went over to the Catholic
church, which later regarded his abil
ity and devotion by the bestowal of
the red hat.
"God !has determined that woman
should be inferior to man."
"There is far too muoh un-Ohrlstlan
infidel sentiment connected wlt-h the
suffrage movement for any one who
holds Chrifsitia-nity to set aside."
"The next step will be that woman
will' demand the same rights and au
thority in the church as man."
These statements, recently made by
Archbishop Sebastian G. Messmer of
Milwaukee, have aroused a storm of
protest and derision that will reach its
climax in impassioned oratory at the
seventh biennial congress of the In
ternational Woman Suffrage Associa
tion, meeting today in v Budapest.
"The Relation of the Suffrage Move
ment to Christianity" is one of the
topics on the program of the conven
tion to be held this week In the Hun
garian Capital. It Is likely to result
in a heated discussion, for, while many
suffrage leaders are Christians, it is
probable that the (majority have not
yet forgiven St. Paul', for !his selec
tions on the Intellectual capacities of
the fair sex.
It cannot be denied' that the genesis
of th e "euf f rage1 movement" -was decided
ly anti-Christian. The demand for
woman's suffrage, declared Archbish
op Messmer, "started with the appear
ance of the French infidels and found
its first expression in the French revo
lution." The brilliant and gifted Mine.
Roland, who paid for her devotion to
liberty With her life, and who was one
of the first women' to demand equal
political rights for her eex, was a pro
nounced agnostic;
In England the suffrage movement
was launched1 by free thinkers. Mary
Wollstonecraft, author of "A Vindica
tion of .the Rights of Woman," was de
cidedly unorthodox Sn her religious
views. Her daughter, Mary, who be
came the wife of the poet Shelley, was.
like her famous husband, an atheist.
John Stuart Mill, the great economist
and Philosopher who fathered the lat
ter-day suffrage movement, held
heretical religious views. Charles
Bradlaugh, George Jacob Holyoake,
and other eminent English freethink
ers, were also among -the early advo
cates of equal rights for women.
In America the suffrage movement
may be said to have commenced with
Thomas Paine, the deietical author of
"The Age of Reason," who was prob
ably the first American "to write In
favor of granting the ballot 'to the
fair sex.
Of the great triumvirate of the
American suffrage cause Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony and
Matilda Joslyn Gage, Joint authors of
"The History of Woman Suffrage" and
leaders in the organized movement
all were unorthodox .in religious mat
ters. Mrs. Gage, . in her last work.
"Woman, Church and Start e," declar
ed that "the church has enslaved
woman, " and sought to enow or now
little value Christianity has been- and
f to civilization." Maxilla. M. Rlcker,
the famous New Hampshire surrragist,
lawyer and humaniitarian, has spent
large sums In placing the works of
Robert G. Ingersoll in public libraries.
Col. Ingersoll, long the eloquent
spokesman for freethought, was an
ardent advocate of woman suffrage.
It is to be noted, however, that re
ligious radicalism, has -usually marked
the beginning of all revolutions. The
infidels" of France, started a con
flagration that worked dreadful havoc;
but, along with1 much that was ' good,
they destroyed the Baebille. .
Sunday marked the twenty-fifth an
niversary, the silver jubilee, . of the
accession to the throne of Wilhelm II.,
For a week Berlin has been in. gala
attire, and for a week to come the
festivities will continue, until every
tourist .has been separated from his
last mark. Berlin has planned to do
the job thoroughly and. wed I, and, in
justice it must be said, to give a full
return for the money. The Kaiser's
jubilee is, so far as tradesmen' and
hotel-keepers are concerned hurt an
incident in their war for a large slice
of the tourist patronage that is now
so largely divided; between London and
Paris.
Gala performances at the Royal
Opera and the" Royal Theatre, art
shows, comm&rcaal exhibitions, sport
ing events and social attractions are
the lures Berlin has used in coaxing
to its hospitable midst one of the
largest crowds ever assembled In the
city.
All the cities of Germany have com
bined to present Emperor William with
a silver Jubilee gift of a set of -tablets
bearing the armorial escutcheons of
all the cities and the arms of the Em
peror. The kaiser has announced that
no other gifts of any material value
should be made him.
It was on the fifteenth of June, 1888,
that Wilhelm- II. was called to the
throne in succession to his father,
Frederick III. The quarter century
of hie reign has been marked by stu
pendous achievements, and Germany
has been placed in the front rank of
nations, as an 'industrial, commercial
and artistic, as well as military and
naval power. Wilhelm has been call
ed "the war Lord", but his fame rests
on his ability as a nan of peace. His
military and- naval program has . re
sulted in vast expenditures which
would have Impoverished the country,
save for the vast industrial expansion
that has come about during his rule.
Coincident with this Industrial pro
gress, however, there has arisen a
great poltical party, the most power
ful, numerically, in the fatherland.
that threatens the very existence of
the monarchy. In the midst of this
great festive occasion the millions of
German Social -Democrats stand aloof,
coldly disdainful of the enthusiasm
of their monarchial neighbors. Herr
Bebel, who hates monarchy and mon
archs with all the bitterness of a
powerful nature Bebel, a little, gray
old man with a cynioal, Voltairean
smile and a brain alert to every pos
sible advantage he Is the death's head
at this festival of empire. A year ago
Herr Bebel knew of the Krupp scan
dal maybe longer ago than that. But
Herr Bebel knows how to wait, as well
as how to act. He is both Fabian and
opportunist. ,So he waited until Ger
many had been aroused to enthusiasm
by the celebration ' of the centenary
of the beginning of the Prussian war
against Napoleon, by the approach of
the Kaiser's silver jubilee and the
wedding of the Kaiser's daughter. He
waited until a contagion of patriotic
pride swept the -country and; then he
sprung the Kruipp eoandal-. And the
Germans said to each other, "If Wil
helm knew, he Is a knave. He is not
a knave. Therefore he did! not know.
Cut Herr Bebel knew." And they
say, "Can It be that August, the son
of a tanner, is wiser than Wilhelm, the
son of a king?" And they shake their
heads and say, "Gott, no, that cannot
be." But still they continue to shake
their heads. It is a bad sign.
For months the presses of Germany
have groaned with the weight of Wil
helm Jubilee literature. In books,
pamphlets, magazines, newspapers,
biographical works without end, he
has been credited with all the progress
made in Germany in the last quarter
of a century. A great monarch he is,
certainly; and it Is unfortunate that
old Herr Bebel, the turner, so often
cries ''Checkmate," and sweeps his
pieces from' the board.
FIVE RATTLERS BAGGED
BY THESCHAGHTIGOKES
Gone is the primeval freedom of the
Schaghticoke mountain for five mot
tled serpents of the purest rattlesnake
strain, basking today in the sunshine
of Dan Smith's gun store In Fairfield
avenue. Caged in glass, surrounded
by guns and fishing tackle and other
implements pregnant with warning for
the wild creatures of the forest, the
quintet of motley skinned, beady eyed
reptiles are softly rattling and wig
wagging back and forth expressions of
common grief at having fallen victim
to the annual invasion of rattlesnake
den, in South Kent, by a- band of
hardy woodsmen known as the Schagh
ticoke Rattlesnake club.
The annual hunt, held, yesterday,
was unique in that the time honored
custom of reaching the rattlesnake
den by .the Berkshire train was aban
doned for the automobile. . Steven tour
inig cars with a party of notables left
Bridgeport ' betimes, and with Mayor
Wilson and President Hill of the Board
of Police Commlssionens in car No. 1
to see that none of the motor laws
was violated, the tourists sped into the
fastnesses of the Berkshires and soon
consumed the 40- odd -miles to the
Schaghticoke reservation . - -:
Another novelty of the (hunt was the
recording of the most interesting hap
penings hy moving picture cameras.
'Dad" Barber, -to whom was -entrust
ed the perilous task of handling the
deadly rattlers for be it known that
it is highly unsportsmanlike to Injure
the snakes for they must be captured
alive and unscathed was the center of
attraction in several of the interest
ing films.
Five irattlers were captured, and
then, tired with the arduous climb the
hunters descended the mountain to the
reservation, there to devour a bar
becue of sheep with "all the fixin's."
The custom of placing a wreath on
the grave of Jim Pan, the last of the
Schaghticokes was followed with May
or Wilson placing- the tribute on the
racund when Dad Barber concluded his
eulogy of the departed chieftain. '
Jim Pan was a full blooded Schagh
ticoke. The Schaghticokes were really
an offshoot of the Mohican tribe, , and
Jim therefore was in reality the last
of the Mohicans. For years Jim took
an active part dn the hunt, even to
the time when he was long past man's
alloted span of life, and his intre
pidity and uniform courtesy are cher
ished in the memories of those who
have been members of the Rattlesnake
club for the last decade. -
