EIGHT HUNDRED
IE ESPASSE rs KILLED

From compilation OF the accident
records OF tue Psursy lyania railroad
system for last year, it is shown chat
500 persons were killed or died from
i9jurios received while rrespassing on
tine railroad property. This record is
for All the lines beth east and west Of
Pitts5urr. So important has this mat,
ter become that the New York and
Chicago General Managers association
have taken it up. Officers OF these as
snCiatiops estimate that more than half
rde 10, 600 people killed last year on
American railroads were trespassers.
Some of the State railroad commits
sions are also agitating this subject.
The railroads want greater authority
than they now have under the law to
compel people to stay off their right
Of way, and TO punish those who per
sist in walking on the tracks. Last
year 4, 156 arrests for trespassing and
illegal train riding were made on the
right of way off the Pennsylvania rail
road. During the same period 466 men
were arrested FOR larceny, which is an
extreme form OF repass. What the
Pennsylvania Railroad suffered from
larceny in 1907 is seen in the fact that
tho company paid out during the year
1886, 0CG in claims for losses which
