Death Overtakes ia
Persons Trespassing
On Railroad Tracks

Death overlook TIA persons while
walking on tracks, swinging trains or
otherwise trespassing on the property of
the Southern railway during the year
ended June 80, according II III. w Mil.
Ter, of Atlanta, vice president of the
Southern,
Despite all warnings of its DANGER"
said Mr. Miller. "the practice of tres
passing on railroad property seems on
the increase. For the three previous
years the number of trespassers killed
on the Southern was as follows: 1913,
1855; 1914. 1876; 1915, 146, making with
1916 a total of sol lives sacrificed to
carelessness.
statistics show that the great ma
jority of railroad trespassers killed are
useful citizens. Wage-earners, using the
tracks while walking to and from their
work, furnish a large proportion, while
fully a third are school boys, killed
while hopping trains"

WILSON PLANS REPLY
To ATTACK Of HUGHES
ON E|CHT-HOUR LAW
People to Be Shown How G,
0, P, Candidate Ignores
Other Features of Program
to Meet Strike Situation

LONG BRANCH, n. J., Sept 20.-Pres-
ident Wilson and Chairman Mccormick
mapped out here today a program for
meeting the campaign attacks of Charles
F.. Hughes on the railroad eignU-hour
law.
Asserting that the Democrats would
show that the president placed before
congress a complete program to meet
the recently threatened strike, Mr.. Nc
Cormick asserted that Mr.. Wilson is pre-
pared to urge strongly during the next
session of congress the enactment of this
program.
When the entire plan of the president
is fully understood the people of the
country will join in praising Mr.. Will
son, the chairman said. The Repub-
licans, he declared, seem to ignore every
thing in the program except the one
item passed by the congress. Mr.. Nc
Cormick added that it would be shown
clearly how the president plans to mini
mize the possibility of a repetition of
the railroad situation which arose re-
Gently.
The chairman was not ready today to
announce any additional speaking ar
rangements for Mr.. Wilson, but said
correspondence had been begun regard
ing several engagements. He plans to
conference.
Administration leaders here predict
that from now on there will be plenty
of activity in the Democratic campaign.
The attacks of Charles E. Hughes will
be fully met, they say, by the presi-
dent himself and by members Of his
cabinet and Democratic leaders who
will tour the country
Vance c. Mccormick, the chairman OF
the Democratic national committee
who spent the night at Shadow Lawn,
held an early conference with the
president this morning before leaving
for headquarters in New York. He will
return in few days to make arrange
ments for the speeches to be made by
Mr.. Wilson.
Meantime the president worked on
a speech he will make to a delega ton
of business men he will receive Satur-
day, and on the address he will deliver
Monday before the convention of the
National Grain Dealers association. In
these two speeches he will outline the
reason why he thinks farmers and
business men should vote the Demo-
cratic ticket.

Florida Bank Robbers
Chased In, Motor Boats

MIAMI, Fla, Sept 2O-Chase for the
four bandits who last Friday got $500
from the Homestead (Fla.) bank and
Saturday killed three members of n
posse pursuing them, today developed
into a motor-boat race. Some of the
bandits, if not all of them, reached
Largo Key in a stolen boat last night.
Sheriff Dan Hardie telegraphed today
that the fugitives again had eluded his
men early today, and had left the key
in a motor boat. The sheriff stated that
he was taking up the pursuit in two
motor boats, and that some of his men
were hurrying farther south on a rail-
road motor car. Governor Trammell to-
day offered a reward of $3.50 for capture
of each of the robbers.
