At DEER PARK
Of Heads of Road From
Name to CsIifornis-About ESQ
Present.

Deer Park, June 13-The gathering
OF the executive and heads OF the OPP
Grating and traffic departments OF the
Baltimore and On o Railroad at the
company's spacious hotel here in the
glades OF the A~Ileghaneys is proving
a notable event.
Baltimore and Ohio representatives
from Maine to California are in at
tendance. Vice-President Randolph
presided at the gathering today and
President Willard opened the confer
enee this morning with an off-hand
talk to the $40 odd officials who were
present. In his address he outlined
the intentions of the company in a char
acteristically clear and forceful man
ner. 1t was an innovation in execu-
tive frankness and directness, leaving
no question as to his intentions upon
the men before him, for the success
of the great plans for the general bet
terment, that have been inaugurated.
The effect of this talk was most
stimulating and the two days inter
curse of those whose working in I'M
ison is so vital to the company's best
interests will undoubtedly be speedily
demonstrated.
With President Willard is his assist
ant, George M. Shryver. First Vice
President Randolph, head of the traf-
fc department, has with him General
Traffic Manager Wright. and the gen
eral freight agents and assistants from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.
At the head Of the passenger depart
ment is General Passenger Agent G.
w. Bassett and his assistants and div
ision passenger agents throughout the
Baltimore and Ohio territory. Third
Vice-President Potter heads the opera
ting department with the heads of
the various divisions. Chief Engin-
eer Thompson and his staff are also
in attendance, together with those in
charge of the telegraph, purchasing
and real estate departments.

TWO T%RESPASSERS
KILLED EVERY DAY
$4,000 People Killed in the Last EIev~
en- Years From Trespsssiug on
Railroads.

T~respasslng on railroad property in
violation of the law has caused the
deaths of more than $4,000 people in
the United States in the last eleven
years. In this anne period more than
5000 trespassers have been Injured.
With a view 10 reducing to a min
imum the practice OF trespasslng on
its property, the Pennsylvania Rail.
To&d has determined to redouble its
efforts to secure On its lines that rigid
enforcement of the law against +res-
passing which in foreign countries has
done 80 much to decrease the number
of fatalities resulting from trespass-
ing.
In 1907 the Pennsylvania inaugl-
rated a vigorous campaign against
t~respassing, and, due doubtless to this,
the number of trespassers killed in
1908 was only 757. In 1909, 1872 lost
their lives in this way. In the eleven
years prior TO January 1st, 1910, ex-
actly 1872 people who were on the
Pennsylvania Railroads right of way
in wilful violation of the law. in spite
of thousands of warning signs along
the railroad. were killed. 1t Is thess
seen that in the eleven years an aver
age of two trespassers a day have
been killed ON Pennsylvania Railroad
property. This long death roll is ey-
cry year charged UP to the railroad
even though these people are killed as
g result of their violating the law, and
t nder conditions over which the com
T7ny has no control.
It is not only tramps who are killed
and injured while trespassing, though
thousands of them lose their lives in
this way every year. Men OF the la
boring class, factory workmen, their
wives and children, who use railroad
tracks as thoroughfares, are killed by
the hundreds. That the practice of
walking on railroad tracks is prevail
in industrial districts gives added
significance to the fatalities On the
Pennsylvania system as a result of
trespassing. The tracks of the Penn
.syivsnfa are lined with factories, as
they run through the industrial
section, through territory which holds
more than falf of the population of
the United States. Over 10000 tres
passeIs were arrested in the year
1909
In 1898. 1868 trespassers lost their
on American railroads: five years
later the number was 5000 and in
1907 the number killed was 5,612-
more than Is a day. These figures are
taken from the annual reports of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.

From The World OF Friday.
General Superintendent Blaser and
Superintendent of Maintenance of

this morning. They went out to the
G. v. connection where they met Cen
eral Manager NJ. c. Kennedy of the G.

The officials it is understood had
a conference regarding the ~construc-
ton of the yards at Cambo. The i'm
~provenent in the yards is made nec--
essary to take care of the increasing
business and it was 1ntimated that the
work of construction would be com
menced at an early date.
An Evening World representative
asked Superintendent Thompson com
corning the erection of a new station
at this place. He admitted that some
thing ought to be done to furnish bet
ter accommodations but would not say
that M~artinsburg was slated for a
modern depot. He said that there vas
some, talk of remodeling the old sta
ton. by tearing away the porches and
putting in covered steps and umbrella
sheds over the tracks. He said that
an expenditure of thirty or forty thou
sand dollars in remodeling the present
station would give a more commodious
building than could be had by the
same expenditure on a new structure.
1t would appear from his converse
ton that there is nothing definite in
sight in the way OF a new station for
some time t. come and that Martins
burg will likely have to get along
as best it can with the present IN
slightly and ~inconvenient depot.
