CHICAGO, Aug. 19. An alarming increase in the number of fatalities in Indiana during the past two weeks has caused the railroad commission to demand of the roads more systematic and persistent efforts to prevent ac cidents. Railroads operating in that state yesterday received an order in which a more extensive use of warn ing signals at crossings and on brid ges is directed as one means of get ting away from loss of life. Special emphasis is also placed on the neces ity of co-operating with the local au thorities to keep the trespassers off the tracks. Present conditions, the commission declares, involve "An unnesessary and continuous loss of life in a highly civ ilized country." The Indiana commis sion has previously denounced it ai the "Great American crime." The commission points to the fact that 173 persons were killed while tres passing on the tracks of the railroads in Indiana during the year ending June 30, 1908. "BOB" EVANS STORY. Why He Said Spanish Could Hit Only The Water. NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-A special dispatch from Lake Mohonk, brings the following story of Admiral Evans. The other day a friend asked him: "Admiral, is there any truth that after the battle of Santiago you called out from the bridge of the Iowa to captain of another battleship: 'Those Spaniards can't fight a damned thing exceot water?" Admiral Evans laughed and replied: "I will tell you what I really said and what the incident really was," he said. "One drizzly day during the blockade we stood in toward the har bor and shelled the shore ba'tteries. It was not as exciting as it might have been, for whether we hit anything or not, I know the Spaniards did not quite come near us. After the shell ing was over a press boat lay along side of my ship and a newspaper man asked if we had been hit. I shouted back: 'They didn't touch us. The Spaniards didn't hit anything except water and the couldn't have hit that if there wasn't so damn much of it."
