INSANE EOCAPES IN THREE
STATES.
Connecticut has no monopoly of the
problem of the escaped insane criml~
‘nal. Since Murderer Tucker and
William Carpenter another criminal,
”whose brains are topsy-turvy detached
themselves from the State Hospital
for the Insane at Middletown on April
80, several similar escapes have been
recorded elsewhere. An insane mur.
defer. who was reported to be u dan-
gerous character, got away fmm an
asylum in Massachusetts. Two insane
criminals—one of them a murdered
Ind the other a Yegg burglar~escap-
ed from the New Hampshire state In-
sano asylum on May 10, and have not
been caught.
These various cases, occuring with-
in a short time of one another, and
scattered though three continguous
states, lrect attention to the embul'rv
ussments lnciental to the incarceration
of insane criminals in institutions as-
signed for the civil insane. Ordiuafily
the safeguards against escapes are less
in the cases of an insane asylum than
in the case of a state prison. The
ideal solution of course, is the estab-
lishment of an institution to which the
, 0 classes of the criminal Insane—the
I class which is acquitted on the ground
'of insanity after conviction for crime——
shall be committed. But the erection
and maintenance of such an establish-
ment cost a lot of money and a small
state cannot always afford t foot the
bill. If the present policy is continu-
ed, as it is likely to be, the criminal
wards of insane asylums should be
made as secure as possible In order to
reduce to a minimum the sort of his-
. wry that has recently been made ill
, three New England states.
‘ TORPEDO BOAT RACE.
Fastest Boat: in the United States
Navy In the Contest.
NEW YORK, June 6.——Six torpedo
boat destroyers, the fastest boats in
the United States Navy, started today
on a 340-mlle race from the Scotland
Lightship to Cape Henry. Va. They
wake the flagship Whipple, and the
'l‘ruxton, Worden, Hull and Hopkins,
comprising the secOnd torpedo flotilla.
The weather was fairly favorable for
a fast race. The wind was fresh and
the sea was lumpy. With the signal
the six destroyers made for the line
at‘fuli speed. The time of the start
was taken at 8:33. Within a. mile
from the line the destroyers Worden.
., Setwart and Hopkins had pushed out
.‘ahead of the others. The destroyers
carried every pound of steam possible
and spectators on the shore had only
comparatively short glimpses of ,the
., black bulled vessels as they sped
along the coast. Naval officers expect
the destroyers to make about twenty-
» four knots an hour, which would
bring them to Cape Henry by G p. m.
' At the finish of the race the des-
troyers will proceed to Hampton
Roads, to be present. at the James-
town Exposition on Georgia Day.

Rosont Railroad President’s
Statement Regarding Ineffi-
cient Labor-Importation of
Department Heads Causes
Dissatisfaction
Tile statement made by President (‘.
S. Mellell of the New Haven road that
whenever wages of Ills conlpallys enl-
ployes were increased there was a cor-
responding decrease in the efficiency of
the men brought out a general pmlest
from the heads and leading members
of railroad organizations ill general.
This protest is not likely to take form
in a communication to Mr. Mellen from
the labor people, but many leaders of
railroad organizations seen by the Re»
glster man during the past three days
were perfectly willing to hit back
at the president in their task, although
not one of them would allow the use.
oft his name. Their reasons for this
disillclinatlon for newspaper publicity
are obvious.
A national officer of one of the lar—
{est labor organizations on the road
who was in this city for a short timo
yesterday on his way to Boston said
that Mr. Mellen's most recent refer-
ence to labor unions was inconsistent
with previous statements in which he
upheld labor organizations ill general,
this man said. He referred he. said to
Mr, Mellen's speech before the Work-
lngmen‘s Club at Hartford. ill which.
Mr. Mellon took an entirely different
view of the railroad labor unions.
Another labor leader on the railroad
had tllls to say:
"President Mellon and Vice-Presi-
dent 'l‘. E. Byrnes, who Is regarded by
the men as the president's mouthpiece,
do not agree as to the efficiency of
the New Haven l'oud's olllploycs. We
follows just wish that you would place
our side of the case before the public
because we feel that we have been
misrepresented.
Mr. Brynes while speaking before
the chamber of commerce of New
Haven on December 7, last, sold among
other things that were a pat on the
back for railroad men. The American
railway employe is a hard working,
painstaking, honest man. He must
have meant that the employes of the
company of which he is the near-head
were of that class for in his speech at
the anniversary exercises of the rail‘
road brunch of the Y. M. C. A. in New
Haven on January 25 lie rclllnrked as
follows: “Tile New Iiavon road has
the best lot of men in the railroad busi-
ness in this country.’ Also ill speak-
lng of the fact that it had been four
years since a passenger on a passion.
ger train on the New Haven lines had
been killed he said: ‘It has collie about
from the fact that we had a lot of
men operating these trains who are al-
ways on the alert and who are always
watching for the ease and safety of
the train and passengers.’ Mr. Byrnes
also said: ‘1 believe in labor organiza-
tlons,’ but following this he said he
opposed to the seniority rule
which kept the good men behind
the poorer ones in the way of promo-
tion because they lacked the years of
service which they must pass through
before going higher. .
"Now to get down to promotions on
the road. That is one of the chief
complaints of the men, although they
have several which the organizations
have been trying to fix up for tile past
three years. Everybody knows that
when President Mellen came here be
surrounded himself with a cabinet
nearly all of whom were formerly con-
nected with him on the Northern Pu.
clfic. I mean Timothy E. Bl'ynes.
H. A. Fabian. assistant to the prcslv
dent and M. K.K Dugim, at present
secretary to the president. Sumo years
back and shortly after Mr. Mellon ilr~
rived here, William 1). Bishop, Jr., re-
tired as secretary of the company. .l. G.
Parker, then secretary to the presi-
dent, having held thut office with four
or more presidents, was elevated pro-
bably 90 Mr. Fabian could land the
other job. Mr. Parker deserved his
promotion, however. ‘
”Since tllnt'time We have had it gen-
eral manager come here from the Le
high Valley, there have been two
mechanical superintendents from the
Southern and various master mechano
lcs from the sumo and behlgll roads
Tho expert and engineer of tests, now
purchasing agent, came from a forcign
road as did his predecessor who Is now
a vice-president of the New England
Securities and Investment Company, a
New Haven creation. Onevf the most
recent causes where the company has
sidetracked men of many years faith-
ful service was lilo recent appointment
of C. F. Lake as superintendent of the
Berkshire Naugntuck division. Ilc
came here from file Southern railway.
Not only have the outsiders taken all
the fat Jobs on the. steam road bll tht
big places on the trolley road‘havc
been filled in the some way as was
the appointment of Arthur B. Smith
formerly assistant general passenger
agent. on'tho Northern Pacific and now
general traffic manager for the Con-
solidatcd traffic manager for the Con-
solidated Railway Company. Another
of the same. kind Is the appointment of
Benjamin Campbell of the Great Nor-
thern to a vice-presidency here to have
charge of all traflic. Admitting that all
the outsiders brought here are first
class railroad men and! believe most
of them are, don't you think It quite
possible that there were men on the
New Haven system who could have
filled these Jobs Just. as satisfactory as
tho Imported men?
“1 am a man of the road. The labor
unions are composed of men on the
road but don't you think we would like
to see some of our men advance once
in a while? Take the Berkshire case
for example. Boy an assistant “super”
had been elevated. The chief dis-
patcher might have been promoted and
so on down the line until one or more
men now out. on the road or a man
