OFFICIAL of the New York, New Haven & Hartford R. R. Co. The many erroneous statements and false reports placed before the public in the Bran- railroad system, which has now for six years, and which finds its opportunity in accidents as agitation, makes necessary that the true record of the New Haven Road in respect to passen- ger train accidents should be set forth, that there may be no furiher cxcuse for repeated misrepresentations, which misrepresentations are against the business interests land and New York, and do not promote efficiency in administraticu or orgenization. 2 In the ten years from June 30, 1903, to June 15, 1913, a period. covered by the iln- cumbency-of President Charles S. Mellen, the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad operated 5,078,750 trains. These trains covered a distance aggregating 158,531,541 miles, practically 6,341 times the circuit of the globe. There was carried on these 5,078,750 trains .over these 158,531,541 miles a total of 755,678,338 passengers paying fare. In these ten years there was just 6 accidents to trains in’ which persons traveling on them were killed. * The number of cidents was just 29. passengers In six of these ten years—1904, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1909 and 1910—nof a single passenger was killed in an accident, although in those years approximately 3,060,000 | trains were operated, carrying 441,426,000 passengers over a total mileage of 93,593,311. 1903 (Last six months) 34,090,448 1905 ... 66,507,138 1906 ... 72,521,069 1907 ... 75,453,778 1908 ... 74,382,023 1909:. 79,849,297 | 5 1910:; . . 83,860,031 | 191L. . ... 83,768,348 1912 .00 0000 i v+ -85:350409 { 1913 (to June 15)... 36,661,110 ] TOTAL ........ 755,678,338 those early | In the five accidents preceding 1913 no Coroner’s verdict or inveltigltionky State or National authorities found any defect in the construction of roadbed, the condif tive power, or equipment, or in condition or operation of signals.

Public sentiment was roused at last to the every day evil of drink to which 1t had long been blind. Then the cry arose, “How can we do with- out whiskey? How can men endure the heat of the hayfield without whis- key?' At last a farmer determined to solve the problem for himself.

His exumpia began to be-followed and so the good work went on. Haying in those days was a very arduous proposition. It meant weeks of hard work from sun to sun as every bit had to be done by hand. Ebenezer Jewett of Hampton well remembers the first hay-rake he ever saw. Ha was a boy of about fourteen. It was & crude affair, whers the man walked behind and dumped the hay in the windrows. Mr. Jévett remembers hearing one man say angrily that the man who invented tnat ought to be imprisoned for life; the idea tvas that machinery would take bread from the workefs’ mouths. It was in haying time that Mr. Jew- ett, then a young boy, received the first great temperance lesson of his life. A little boy about five years old followed his father to the hay field ana themselves to the big jug did llkewise with the résult that he dled from thi effects of the liquor.
