ENORMOUS DEATH TOLL.

The annual report OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Just issued.
has the following paragraph about
trespass:
The commission desires to call the
attention OF Congress to the matter of
trespass on railways. Figures com.
piled from the monthly reports OF sc-
cidents resulting from the operation Of
steam railways in the United States
ara shown in table in the report ,
from which it appears that 5,0O6 tres-
passers were killed during the year
ended June 30. 1915. This number il
more than 80 per cent OF the total
number Of persons killed in railway
accidents Of all classes resulting from
the operation Of trains, locomotives,
and ears during the year, and it repre-
sents n loss Of life for which laxity in
the enforcement Of the laws seems to
be largely responsible. OF the tres
psssers killed, only % per cent were ON
trains OF the Il per cent not on trains
n large proportion were trespassing on
the right OF way, $50 being struck or
run over by locomotives or ears at
stations or in yards, SS NJ highwsy
grade crossings, and 1881 st other
places along the tracks. TEe commits
sion's Investigations of accidents dis
close instances in which it ia morally
certain that serious accidents To trains
have been caused by malicious acts OF
trespassers. While l3 states have leg
islated upon the subject of trespassing
il appears to be difficult to secure the
enforcement OF such laws, and car
riers thus fail to obtain the protection
in this regard which the public wei.
fare demands The commission be-
lieves that the matter is of Sufficient
Importance tn warrant a consideration
OF the advisability OF enacting Fed
ersl statute prohibiting, under appro-
pirate penalty, trespsssers on the
trains of interstate carriers, and on
the tracks Of such carriers at places
where there are two or more tracks
or within the limits of incorporated
towns, or at places where the carrier
by appropriate sign or warning gives
notice that trespassing on his tracks ID
prohibited. Any such statute should
however, provide that nothing therein
is intended to make lawful any tres.
pass which would be unlawful under
state laws. lt might be that Congress
could confer concurrent jurisdiction
upon Federal and state courts for the
enforcement OF any statute which
might be enacted upon the subject"
