RI 600 PERSONS UNDER
II YEARS OF AGE ARE
KILLED TRESPASSING

danger is said to be slowly spreading,
while loss of life and damage as af-
fecting railways is increasing. France
Furnishes trespassers by fines up to
S579 and Jail up to a month; Germany
by fines up to $25; Canada by fines up
to $50, and Imprisonment up to two
months. The Wabash railroad oper-
ates part of it's mileage through Can
ada. In the year ending June 80, 1914,
of the "a trespassers killed on that
road only three we're killed in Canada.
"In the United States laws are few,
and even where penalties are pre-
scribed, magistrates hesitate to i'm
pose them, as local authorities dislike
to feed and lodge convicted tramps
Trespassers, however, include little
children and wage earners living in
the vicinity, whose death or disability
leaves families destitute.
Elevation Does Not Stop Trespassing.
Elevation of track in Chicago was
resorted to at an expense of 70 mil
lions, which is expected to reach $50
millions. Trespassers leap over city
ordinance and climb up on the eleVa-
ton in their conscientious devotion to
the pursuit of being killed and MAIN
ed. In three months 339 arrests were
made on the elevated right of way of
four systems. Only 81 of the Offend
ers were punished.
Lack of Statutes.
"Thirty-five states have no laws
specifically prohibiting persons walk
ing on railroad right Of way. Thir-
teen states by statute prescribe pen
alities ranging from S. fine to 10 days
in Jail in Maine to $500 fine or one
year in Jail in New York; New York,

SOCIETY TROTS TO
"SHORTENIN' BREAD"
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 6-Society peo-
pie dancing one-steps and other steps
to the tune of country fddlers was
the queer spectacle on the roof gar
den of the Atlanta club last night The
club managers kidnapped Fiddlin' John
Carson and Gid Tanner, a noted fid-
dler and singer from the Old Time
Fiddlers' convention and took them to
the roof garden to entertain the
guests and members. Their music
proved so infectious that the regular
orchestra was discharged for the
night and the guests danced to the
tune of "Shortnin' Bread" until nearly
dawn.

Stricter laws and stricter enforce
-ment for the prevention OF trespass-
ing upon railways are urged upon the
state legislatures in "The Deadly Toll
sof Trespass on Railways" bulletin
of the Railway Business Association,
the national organization of manu-
featuring. mercantile and engineering
concerns dealing with the railroads.
There were," the bulletin declares,
-"33 900 persons under Il years of age
killed or injured while trespassing on
railways of the United States from
1901 to 1910, enough to make a mile
post for every mile around the whole
world"
Comparing the record of the United
States and the United Kingdom the
following figures are quoted:
Accidents to Railroad Tresspassers
Killed Injured
U. S. ....... .19O1-10 5O,025 53.427
U. Kingdom .19O1-1O ABA 1915
Telling why this striking difference
exists, the explanation is given:
"In the United States laws against
railroad trespassing are generally not
enforced.
"In the United Kingdom persons
other than passengers or employees
found on railroad property are fined
$40 for each offence"

Missouri, Rhode Island, Delaware,

Missouri has a law which protects
the railroad from damage suits for
the purpose of which trespass is a
defence for the railroad, but the law
in defining the act trespass for that
purpose specifically says, "but not
otherwise"
Safety First Efforts.
Activity on the part of many rail-
roads to lessen the number of fatal
accidents on their lines is bearing
fruit. The New York Central lines
took the question up with justices of
the peace and police court magistrates
armed with statistics. Newspapers
were urged to give the campaign pub
licity. Warnings in several languages
were posted, while manufacturers and
public school teachers were enlisted.
The railroads police department
made arrests systematically. During
May, June AMI July, 1914, there were
4,545 arrests and 4,015 convictions. In
seven months ended April 30, 1914,
there was a reduction in those killed
over the corresponding period one
year previous from 1876 to SO.
The American Museum of Safety,
New York, has published pamphlets
containing stories of child interest,
and two New York and Brooklyn
schools have issued Safety League
buttons, organizing safety patrols. A
pamphlet issued in Texas is Harry
describing Harry's
surgical experience and his release
from the hospital a cripple who never
again could join his playmates in the
old swimming hole.
Public responsibility.
Minors and children following the
example of their elders, flock upon the
tracks, engines, cars and turntables
and are ground to pieces or crippled
for life. Tramps and qeggmen travel
around the country in 'side-door Pull
robbing box cars and burning
ties, stations, bridges and timbers, and
robbing farmers, country banks,
stores and postoffices. In Canada,
where stealing rides is a crime pun
ishable by fine of $50 or two months
in Jail, there are few tramps.
ct would probably cost the states
and municipalities less to enforce a
law against trespassing, than it does
to pick up and bury the dead and care
for the cripples."
