Is Reduced.

The Hartman railway lines carries 10
per cent Of the estimated 1910 passenger
traffic of the United States, or ~, i9l 900
people. without fatal accident to any Of
the number. This result is ascribed TO
the installation Of safety devices and Is
believed to have M parallel in the rail
road world.
The report, containing this data, Just
has been complied in the Offices Of julius
Kruitschnitt, director Of maintenance
and operation On the system, including
the Southern Pacific aud Union Pacific
railroads. a total of 1850 miles.
The total number Of passengers carried
on one mile basis was 5.UOO,NO,O0O.
The figures OF the country's railroads for
1910 have not yet been compiled by the
government, but in 1909 the Interstate
commerce commission reported the num-
ber Of passengers carried as 29.OOO. Co.,
OOO. The figures for 1910 will not ex
coed billion more, 1t is said.
Many other railroads have gone thrO-
ugh year without IL fatality to any Of
it's passengers, but it is said that no sys-
TEN has made this record for such a
large total of passengers.
The results On the Hartman lines are
ascribed to campaign waged by the
management for years to reduce accid-
ents. The Hartman system now has
more miles Of automatic block signal
protection than any other system in the
world. Mr.. kruttschnitt himself has
directed special attention to the acct

ago 10 bring about reduction by Civ,

it is believed, spurred both officers and
employees to greater efforts to safeguard

In the year 19O3l9Ol the number Oi
accidents ON the Union Pacific was n

final half of 1910 it was only for 1000,

FIGHT FOR A
CHAMPIONSHIP

From all indications there will be
no counter attractions tomorrow ev-
! ening to clash with the very enter
tanning boxing program which is to be
submitted by George Nelson in the
Asahi Theater on Mauna Kea street,
commencing at elght-fifteen. The
weather is against anything of an
outdoor nature and consequently the
only fixture in sporting circles at the
moment is this entertainment The
attendance at the last series of bouts
was so large that one is inclined to
prophesy that the theater will be
crowded to its utmost limits tomorrow
evening for the program is one that
seems to be full of merit. The boxers
will each have large following, par
ticularly among the service men, and
civilians are certain to be present in
force, for the reports from the various
training camps have been such as to
whet the appetites OF all interested in
the game. Even now, on the day be-
fore the fight, it is hard to say
whether Fink or Harding will line up
as favoTite for the welterweight cham
pionship of Hawaii Fink has GER
tainly the best local record, but even
among Fink's hackers there seems to
be a strong feeling that Harding NAV
come through with the goods and de-
throne their champion. Harding IS
credited with being a willing boxer;
Fink's skill has already been demon
strated, so that everything points to
good battle
Sarsconi will have to be at the top Of
his form to beat Simmons, of the
Thetis, for the aforementioned is as
plucky as they make them, as was
evidenced in the last fight which Sim
mons had here. The Thetis boys are
plunging on their choice and if Sar-
conf wins he will do his hackers a
good turn. The bugler will be certain
to make a good showing and will prob.
{! iy win out safely
Price and Denton are both well rec
commended, and the two troopers from
Leilehua are expected to put up a will
ing combat. With Peanuts and Mel
mott on the bill it is certain that there
will be some lively and entertaining
boxing.
