Carole,s Crossers Vie
With Rail Trespassers
In Gamble With Death

Washington, d. c., Aug. 17.-In-
creased safety for passengers and
employees was achieved by the South
ern Railway System during the first
five months Of 1922. but fatalities
among persons who were neither pas
sengers nor employees showed an in
crease of 24.64 percent, according to
an announcement by the Southern's
Safety Department.
During this period not a passenger
was killed "and fatalities among en-
ployees decreased 27.2 percent as
compared with 1921, but S6 other per-
sons were killed as against 60 in 1921.
Of this total, AZ lost their lives
while trespassing on tracks, 13 while
trespassing on trains, and % were
killed in highway crossing accidents.
These figures show the statement
says. that while the Southern has
been able to protect the passengers
who pay to ride on it's trains and the
employees whose duty it is to op-
crate them, it has not had equal sue
cess in controlling fatalities among
persons who insisted on walking on
tracks or climbing on trains where
they had no business, or among per-
sons who atten' pted to cross its
cracks without king the simple pre-
autior to sec that no train was ap-
proaching.'

Ar;ctccrssic Russian Bandit
Dies With His Boots On

famboff, Russia, Aug. 15.-Alex-
nder Antonoff, whom his followers
Dnsidered in the light Of a reincarn-
lted Robin Hood, but whom the Sow
let government classed as Jesse
James, fought to the last when sur
rounded and willed by the state po-
lice at his hiding place in tiny viii
iage near Tamboff late in June.
Antonoff once was in the old Rus
sian army. When the Bolsheviki took
power he opposed them and, gather.
ing Fabout him thousands of fol-
lowers-fast horsemen from the
Steppes- harrassed the Red army
in the south of Russia for several
years.
Last September Antonoff's band
was broken up by the Reds. For
months the state police sought OUT
his hiding place. Finally some of
his former confederates were prom
ised amnesty and betrayed him.
Early one June evening eight men
led by Policeman Pokulukin came to
the hut of peasant woman, Marie Ka-
tosanova, whose name will go down
in the fantastic legends surrounding
the life of Antonoff. In this hut in
the thick woods near the river Voro-
ma, Antonoff was hiding. The police
called to her and she came out of the
house denying Antonoff was there.
No. sooner had the woman turned
way than two men started firing upon
the police froy the windows of the
hut. Peasants, attracted by the
shooting, ran to the village church
and rang the bells and hundreds of
peasants armed themselves with
stickes and stones and formed cor
don about the hut.
For several hours the battle con-
tinued until, with night at hand, the
police ran very short of ammunition.
Two of them crept up to the house
and set fire to the roof. AS smoke
began to pour out of the windows,
two men broke from the house and
started running toward the woods.
With each step they turned to fire
their revolvers at the police. They
had almost reached the woods when
they were shot d,wn. Their bodies
were Immediately identified, one be-
ing the famous chieftain, and the
other his brother, Dimitri Antonotf
To convince the population that the
bandits never had been workingmen,
he Soviet authorities had autopsies
performed ard doctors issued state
ments saying that neither of the
brothers ever occupied himself with
hard work, "for their hands were
soft like those Of noblemen and there
was fat all over their bodies, showing
hat they had fed themselves very
we'll at the time when the famine in
the villages carried away many
souls"

purpose in the community today"
the committee on law enforcement
included in its recommendations sub

manufacture and sale of pistols, and
OF cartridges or ammunition design
ed to be used in them, "save as such
manufactures shall be necessary for
governmental and official use under
proper legal regulation and control"
at their convention here.
1--WE find that more than ninety
per cent of the crimes in this coun-
try are committed by the use of pis-
tols,' continued the report of the
committee, of which Judge William
B. Swanep Of Chattanooga, Tenn i,
was chairman. "We find that the
laws prohibiting, the carrying of
firearms or deadly weapons are inef-
fective--in fact, that they work to
the benefit of the criminal rather than
the law abiding citizen"
Other members of the committee
were Judge Marcus Kavanaugh, Chi

Whitman, New York; Wade H. Ellis,
