OPPOSITION TO
TRESPASS BILL
Senate Puts Measure Down as
Special order for Noon
Tomorrow
FEAR ACT WOULD
GIVE TOO MUCH POWER

Special 10 THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Del. Feb. 22-There was
an interesting discussion in the SEN
ate this morning over Senator Films
bill 10 prohibit trespassing on the
tracks of the railroad companies and
ON their properties and cars. The
bill increases the penalty for trespass
for from ten days TO three mOnthe
maximum imprisonment IN default Oh
having a fine, and it empowers any
railroad employe TO make an arrest
with or without warrant, Of persons
caught trespassing. The bill finally
WAS made a special order for tomor-
row at noon as some opposition de-
veloped TO il.
Senator Finn said the bill has been
explained i'm committee by Andrew c.
Gray. representing the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. and it was simply
to increase the term of Imprisonment
without giving any broader powers
than are existing in the present law.
Senator Anderson wanted to know if
the bill would not benefit the railroad
companies. Senator Corbit said he
thought the bill was too broad at
first, but on inquiry he found that it
gave no broader powers than now are
given under the law to the railroad
companies
Senator Miller said he had felt the
same way about it at first, but learn
ed that 1t gave no broader powers,
He added that a Post Office Inspector
had called on him and urged the pas
sage OF the bill as it would help the
inspectors i'm their crusade against
yeggmen and other robbers who follow
the railroad lines, and at the same
time help the railroad police in clear
ing the railroads of such characters.
Senator Anderson suggested an
amendment so that any man caught
trespassing who had a reasonable eX'
cuse would be dismissed.
Senator Finn wanted TO know il
this would not be class legislation
and President Pro- Tenn ManaghaI
said that he did not think It would.
Senator Finn explained that there
was much trespassing on farms neal
railroads. Senator Dutton said hl
was opposed to the bill in its presen
form and it was finally decided q
make H. a special order at noon 70
morrow.
