Cnm Injuries to Passenger.
■ A passenger who was compelled to ride
?n a drafty unheated chair car, because
of the breach of contract by a sleeping
car company to furnish her a berth, sus
tained injuries to her buck while aneez
i»s or while attempting to suppress
sneezing, for which she brought ap action
against the latter company and had judg
ment for $2,000. The St. Louis Court
of Appeals reversed the judgment in
O’Neil v. Pullmhn Co.. 200 Southwestren
Reporter, 798, and remanded the case
for a new trial. The point as to proxi
mate cause is brought out in the report
prepared by Mr. R. O. Mason, of the
National Reporter System Editorial
Staff. In discussing the question Com
missioner SBruere, whose opinion was
adopted as the opinion of the court, said:

breach of contract was the proximate
cause of the injury, or that the injury to
plaintiff’s back ought tto have been rea
sonably anticipated as likely to ensue
from the refusal to permit the plaintiff
to ride on the Pullman car? It would be
sheer nonsense to say that the defendant
could have reasonably anticipated that
tee natural result to permit .the plaintiff
to ride in the Pullman car would be that
the plaintiff would ride in a drafty day
conch, nos operated by defendant; that
she would not have sufficient wraps; that
shevwould sit in a strained and huddled
position trying to keep warm; that she
would take cold; that the cold would
cause her to sneeze; that she would try
to suppress the sneezing; and that this
would cause an injury to her back, a dis
placement of one of the vertebrae.”

! MEANS SCHEDULED TO GO
ON TRIAL DURING THE DAY
E Reached New York City Yesterday Af
t ternoon and Was Taken Before Fed
' eral Judge Lindley at Once.
t Gaston B. Means, who was arrested
: here Tuesday afternoon by government
1 agents, reached New York City yesterday
' afternoon, and was immediately taken be-
I fore Federal Judge Lindley, who had is
' sued a bench warrant for his arrest,
i when Means failed to appear for trial
• Monday morning on charges of conspir
acy to obstruct justice.
Means, according to reports from New
York City, told Judge Lindjey he was
too poor to retain an attorney to defend
I him and the court appointed Abraham L.
i Menin, who resigned recently as an as
j sistant Uhited States attorney, as Means’
' counsel. Means then agreed to go on
trial today.
Judge Lindley continued Means’ bond
of SIO,OOO. it is reported, declaring that
the bond had not been declared forfeited.
Thomas B. Felder and Elmer Jarnecke,
former attorney and secretary respective
ly, to Means, were indicted by 'the same
grand jury that iudicted the Concord
man, but Felder has, asked for a sepa
rate trial and his motion will be decided
] today by Judge Lindley. Jarnecke has
informed the court that he wants to
1 change his plea from not guilty to guilty
| and it is expected that he .will be a gov
ernment witness against Slenns and Fel
der.
| Means, Felder and Jarnecke are accus
) ed of having obtained $05,000 from offi-
I cers of the Crager System, Inc., a bond
selling concern, and the Altoona Glass
Casket company on the representation
that they would use the sum iu bribing
former Attorney General Daugherty and
other government officials to maintain a
“hands off” policy in an alleged stock
selling scheme.
Means has contended all along that he
was innocent of the charges against him,
and be advised the court that lie did not
appear for trial only because of recent
illness. He has been suffering with gall
slopes for several weeks. Sleans advised
| the court, in a telegram Monday, and
j this illness prevented him from going to
! New York in time for trial that day.

Safe and Sane Stairs.
Falls on stairs kill nearly 15,000 of
qur citizens yearly, according to Stebbius
in The Industrial Hygiene Bulletin, of
the New York State Department of La
bor. In the Manhattan section of New
Yo*k, . he says, there have been more than |
one hundred deaths in a single year, due
to this cause. Says the Nation’s health
(Chicago) :
“The total number of such fatalities in
the United States is estimated tto he
about 13.800 each year.
“Stebbins states that the majority of
these falls are due either to slipping or
or tripping, the former being far more
prevalent. About 85 per cent, of acei
, dents,;on stairs occur during December,
January arid February. This is* due to
snow, ice, water and poor lighting. In
j cases where stairs are used by the gen
| oral public, they are usually covered*
i with metal tiegds. These save the ex
cessive wear t"o (the stairs themselves,
and when worn sift the treads may be
easily replaced. Many styles of metal
treads are upon the market, some of
which are very good for preventing slip
ping and tripping.
"A real safety stair tread should be
rigid, should be sufficiently thick to last
over a considerable period Os wear, should
be" so constructed that water will drain
off and leave dry areas, which areas
should be made of a non-slipping sub
stance, smooth, flat and Arm, It would
be well to make these treads about one
eighth of an inch thicker at the front
or nosing edge, as at this edge occurs
the greatest amount of wear. Stebbins
i proposes that treads be made of a frame
work of cast-iron having u thickness of
one-half inch at the nosing edge, and that
in the east-iron framework there should
be a number of round holes, bored
through the casting, .slightly tapered so
that the smaller enefc are uppermost. In
to these holes should be poured a cunpo
sitiou of lead mixed with un abrasive.
■ This composition should extend above the
top surface of the cast iron frame about
1-32 of an inch.”.
