Chicago.-What to do with the thou
sands of tramps who wander aimlessly
about the country and interfere with
the safety Of passengers travelling on
the different railroad systems has be-
come a serious problem, and has
aroused the charity organizations and
the railroad companies to the need Of
"a general cooperation with the au-
thorities in an attempt to put an end
to vagrancy in all its forms.
At recent conference Of represen-
rtatives Of several large railroads in
Minneapolis there was presented from
each road set Of figures approximate
ing the amount Of damage sustained
by the different systems through the
depredations of tramps. The total sum

means that they board the next freight
train that comes along.
Thus, to accomplish results, there
must be cooperation between railroads
and authorities. To obtain this CO.
operation several charity organizations
are planning a national educational
campaign and will seek to have ade-
quate legislation enacted and the laws
enforced. The railroads through their
regular employees and through their
police departments will work in har-
mony with the charity organizations.
Acute in Eastern States.
The tramp problem is peculiarly
acute in the eastern states. The av-
erage number of trespassers killed to
every 100 miles Of track in the United
States is 1.6 persons. In the group
of states including Louisiana, Texas
and New Mexico the proportion falls

But in group 2 of the interstate COM

LONDON, Oct. PA romantic search
for treasure and specie, valued at near
ly million sterling, is about to be
made by private London syndicate,
which proposes to salve the feet sunk
in the battle of Navarino. A conces-
sion from the Greek government has
been obtained by this syndicate, which
is registered as "The Nayarino and Cen
eral Salvage Company, limited" The
positions of most OF the so submerged
vessels have already been located and ac-
tive operations are to be started shortly.
For so years the ships of the Turko-
Egyptian feet sunk by the allied naval
forces Of England, France and Russia
have lain undisturbed at the bottom Of
the bay, but now determined attempt
is to be made to refoat them. 1t Is
proposed to raise the vessels bodily,
and to recover the valuable copper and
oak of which they were built, and the
treasure, guns and other articles known
to have been on board them.
The ships sunk within the harbor are
stated in the official dispatches of Ad-
miral Sir Edward Cordington, the com
mander in chief of the allied fleets, to
have been: Two ships OF the line, three
double frigates, 10 frigates, % eorvettes,
10 brigs, one schooner, five e-brigs;
total, 62.
The promoters regard it as beyond
question that the Turko- Egyptian ships
carried a very large quantity Of treas;
IRE, consisting Of loot taken by raiding
the coast towns Of the Morea. and
specie estimated at 10000 pounds, for
The payment of the crews and the mum
crous troops upon the war vessels. This
UNI includes treasure carried for The
Sultan of Kurkey and Ibrahim Pasha. II
is estimated that the total value of the
ships and treasure is $75O0,O0O.
