RAILROADS ASSIST ) ARMY AIR SERVICE Udentification Markers Will Be | Placed Near Stations to Aid B Lot Flyen. - The board of dlrectors of the Amer- fcan Rallway Association has ap- Proved the recommendation of a spe- clal committee that a number of railroads co-operate with the Army alr service in establishing markers and other means of identification on and about rallroad stations for the guldance of flyers, it was learned to- day. The air servics, through Capt Bur- dette S. Wright, chief of the airways section, sought permsson to place on the rights of way of rail- n ro-taininstances to paint names of towns on the roofs of .. or ireynt depots or other ble railroad "buildings, and re- quested the rearrangement of sta- tian siems now on ends of stations #0 as to birng them out from under Luc caves and increase their visibil- ity from the air. . or the present action is being taken on the forlgohlg points on the following roads: Erie, Baltimore and Ohio, Chicago, Rock Island and Pa- cific; Iilinols Central, Union Pacific, Southern Pacifio, Pennsylvania. New York Central, Chicago and North- western, Chicago, Milwauke and St. Paul; Denver and Rio Grande, West-, ern and Western Pacific. 3 The reason advanced by the air servioe for desiring the installation ©of markers is as follows: “A pilot has become lost or bewil- dered because of a low fog or otner- wise, and flies in some direction un- til he picks up a railroad track. He follows this rallroad until he sights one of the identification marks, whioh is located on the right-hand side of the track and on the outskirts of the city. He immediately locates himsuif and will not have to pass over the heart of the city, thus endangering his own life and the lives of others by hitting some high tower or build- ing hidden by a low fog." “TREATED AS DOGS,” | WRITE 25 CONVICTS North Carolina Plaint Taken Up With Demand for Immediate Reforms. Flogging, clubbing and kicking of men, with general treatment ac- corded prisoners “worse than dogs,” are among charges which E. E. Dud- ding, president of the Prisoners’ Re- lef Soclety, declares were made to him in a letter received from twenty- five convicts of the North Carolina state prison, at Raleigh, N. C. Al- lusion to these charges are made in a letter, dated yesterday, signed by President Dudding and dispatched to Chairman James A. Leak of the state prison board of directors, in Wwhich Dudding announces: “Unless the condition is at once remedied I shall seek to have the yrison board and the entire prison Tanagement to answer charges from the grand jury in the county where the prison 1s located Among statements in the Dudding letter to Chairman Leak are the fol- lowin, 4 rt with, it {s proven that there is no discipline at the prison, or else the letter never would have reached the malil.’ The letter states that men are being flogged, clubbed and kicked worse than dogs; are also being locked in a dungeon for days without food or watr; that guards, half of them, are often drunk while on duty.” LT I WILL AID TEACHERS.
