BLAME ROAD FOR
DEATHOTHOYES
During Hlness Editor De
clared That Santa Fe
Was Responsible.
(Special Dlapatrh to The Journil.)
Lpsj Angeles, Feb. 22 Afer suffering
for days from a severe attack of la
grippe, for which he blamed the Santa
Fe railroad, Crosby S. Noyes, editor of
the Washington Star, died, here last
night. A few days before his death
Mr. Noyes wrote a letter to a friend
at Washington in which he blamed the
railroad ' for the Illness which later
caused his death. In the letter ho said:
"Through the Injuries to health and
comfort received by our party by the
Incompetency and gross neglect of the
Santa Fe railroad on our trip from
Chicago to southern California, we have
all suffered from a collapue I am a
victim' of an aggravated case of grip,
with extreme weakness.
"We left Chicago on the 29th, which
it will be remembered waa some days
before the blizsard swept across the
west, partly closing travel and giving
aome excuse for bad service. As soon
as we pulled out I discovered that
there was no heat In our compartments,
while at the same time the temperature
waa down around sero. I Immediately
applied to the conductors, but thev
failed to take notice of my appeal.
Later, when I sent my card to the
chief conductor, asking him to see If
something could not be done, he treated
the request with Contemptuous Indif
ference. The conditions remained the
same clear across the continent.
"It was stated that the car Guiana,
in which we were placed, was a dilapi
dated old car borrowed from another
road and that the Santa Fe had npt
given the slightest attention to Us re
pairs. We were obliged to wrap our
selves in an tne bedclothes, blankets,
SlUows, in fact everything that could
e availed of, to prevent freexlng, and
were bundled, up all the way, not for
hours but for days, like so 'many mum
mies, but all this did not preserve us
irum num.
The letter waa dictated by Mr.
Noyes from his sick bed.
It Is probable that legal action will
be taken against the railway company
by relatives of the dead editor.

New York. Feb. 22. Governor Hughes
of New York, delivering a Washington
Birthday address before the Union
League club today, urged a settled gov
ernmental policy as the only means of
restoring confidence In the commercial
world. He said the federal state laws
should be as definite as It is possible to
make them, and that thev should be ap
plied with becoming precision to prac
tices sought to be reached.
"The enforcement of Just laws has no
terrors for those engaged In legitimate
business," continued Governor Hughes
He declared that it has been found in
advisable to attempt to get a precise
definition of fraud, but he added that it
Is possible and advisable to be more ex

"The way to get rid of abuses is to
attack them directly," he said. "I be
lieve that the most efficacious means Is
definition, proscription and adequate
punishment of the offenders. Fines im
posed upon corporations, particularly
UDon those with monopolistic powers.
are lust from no DOlnt of view. Punish
ment Is most salutary when visited
upon guilty individuals. Few men can
be hired to go to jail, and if the of
fenses which the public recognises to
be of a grave character are punished by
imprisonment the law will most likely
be obeyed."
Hughes declared that while the public
Insists on a pure administration, de
served contempt must be visited upon
those who profit by indiscriminate de
traction of men in public life. He said
that the public service is far more
wholesome than many people think."
"Interests, Sands Off."
"SDeclal interests must keeD their
hands off of the city, state and federal
governments," he declared. "The com
mon welfare must be the supreme law
of the land. The lobbies that have been
maintained In legislative balls have
been the causes of mistrust of govern
ment, and furnish the most serious pre
text lor assaults on our institutions.
There is a slowing down of the wheels
of Industry, and enterprise -waits im
patiently amid the uncertainty of hesi
tation. It is absolutely essential that
we should have a tonlo of wholesome
confidence. Inspired by the visions of
