These Stone & Webster boot-lickers have tried by every tieans in their power to exonerate the Electric company from all blame for the horrible death of Mrs. Brackett, who was crushed and groun? beneath the whecls of a derailed Madison street cable car. To judge from their accounts of the tragedy, the poor woman was culpably to blame for her own death in jumping from a violently careening, lurching car, which was speed- ing down hill towards the heavy grade below Fourth avenue. She should have calmly waited antil the brow of the hill was actually reached, before she made a last desperate ef- fart to save herself! And these sare newspapers see nothing in the admitted fact that there had been repeated derailments of Madison cable cars at the point where Mrs, Brackett lost her life, due to worn and worthless rails, which should have been torn up and replaced years ago. These old rails are so battered that the flanges have almost disappeared in places! But the Seattle Electric company, to save money, did not replace these rails. Hence the frequent derailments of cars and, finally, the killing of Mrs, Brackett Nothing has so aroused the indignation of the people Of Seatfle in many months as has this cold-blooded slaying of a wife and mother. Every woman in the city feels that she, too, has no guarantee of life when she boards a Mad- ison strect, ar other car. She may get back home alive— atid she may not. It all depends apor chance, Employed in the office of The Star is one young woman who almost lost her life last Sunday by attempting to take & car ride im this city. She was one of those passengers on the Fort Lawton car, which was wrecked by the cheap and defective signal system of the Seattle Electric company Anybody who keeps their cars open im Seattle can hear these oft-repeated stories of derailments and collisions. Scarcely a week passes by that does not bring one or more of these so-called “accidents.” The hospitals of Seattle are never without patients, sent 3 te them from street cars. a And all the time that this bloody work is going om the subsidized organs are singing the praises of the great and good Seattle Electric company and what a benefit it is to the community! Is it any wonder that the people of this city are in- censed? Few of the many victims of Stone & Webster's econom- ical street railroadig ever get what i rightiully coming to them in the shape of damages No sooner'i$@ man, or woman, hurt, than the claim agent of the company fishes into the hospital where the sufferer lies, passing in some magic manner alf guards and Teaching the cot he seeks. There he is\permitted to secure a compromise for a small sum of gold; judiciously displayed to the victim, per- haps, whew ether mts fail. In nine €ases out of ten the man or woman who thus compromises is in no fit condition to conduct such nego- tiations. In fumerous instances they do not know that thousands, instead of hundreds, would be their recompense if they refused to compromise and appealed to the courts. It is a shame and @ disgrace that claim agents are thus allowed to enter Seattle hospitals. The practice should be sternly prohibited. No one who has been injured should be subjected to any such unfair influences as the claim agent brings to bear, until health has been recovered amd a capable lawyer consulted. There is only one way, apparently, to make the Stone & Webster concern do its duty towards the pablic, and that ts by making it unprofitable to neglect it. No victim should compm@mise a damage but should exact the uttermost penny that the law will award. When this policy is generally adopted, the Electric company wil} no longer find it profitable to operate over old and de- fective rails on Madison street, or to use cheap and unsafe signalling systems on the Fort Lawton or other lines.
