When William Howard Taft stepped

4th Of March as the new president OF
the United States of America, he found
model home equipped with every
modern convenience; that is what
other presidents have never enjoyed.
Before the election of President Roose-
welt few changes had been made in
the White House since the days of John
Quincy Adams, when it was rebuilt
after being fired by the marauding
British troops, only the walls being left
standing

657 TRESPASSERS KILLED.
Railroad Points Out Figures a
Showing Need for New Laws.

Reports compiled at the general Of
fees of the Pennsylvania railroad show
that during the year 1908 657 tres
passers were killed and I91 injured on
the lines Of the Pennsylvania system
east and west of Pittsburg In 1907
reports show SD trespassers killed
Thus during the past two years on the
Pennsylvania system alone 1,479 per-
sons have lost their lives in this way.
These figures are pointed to as en-
phaSiZing the recommendation in the
recent annual reports of the State
Railroad Commissions of Pennsylvania
and Indiana that laws should be en-
acted providing substantial punishment
for all persons who trespass upon the
private rights of way of any steam or
electric railway.
The extent of the trespassing abuse
is to be found not only in the figures
showing the number of persons killed
or injured while trespassing, but also
in the fact that during the year 1908,
according to the figures just compiled.
1889 persons were arrested for tres
passing, 442 for vagrancy. and 10,451
for illegal train riding on the lines of
the Pennsylvania system. During the
year 1907 the arrests for these causes
numbered 1888.

A sensational story of a reactionary

The authority for the story is high

PAINTER FALLS 100 FEET.
Peter HeIsten of Superior Clings to
Wire in Downward Flight.

Peter Helsten, painter, fell 100 feet
from the top of q chimney in Superior,
and escaped without even a broken bone.
Helsten was at work on a platform
swung by ropes from the chimney of the
Iron River Lumber Company's mill. In
swinging his platform he had failed to
properly fasten it and soon after ne
started work he felt it begin to slide.
Realizing the situation he saw that his
one chance for his life was TO grasp an
iron wire and thus impede the force of
his descent Although the sliding down
the wire burned the skin from his hands
he gripped the life line as tightly as he
could. Fifteen feet from the ground was
the boiler house roof with an opening
just big enough to let him through. Hell
stem wanted to avoid that, passage, fear
ing it meant sure death. He calculated
his distance and when he thought he was
a few feet above the roof let go of the
wire and showed outward. Instead of
being a few feet above the roof he was
thirty feet from it and the fall gave him
a bad jar Holster thinks. however, he
can go to work in a few days.
