RAILROAD TRAINS SAFER
 THAN THE CITY STREETS
Statistics Show Comparatively Few Persons Killed on Ex-
 press Trains

Chicago. April 2S.-A person to- day Is in far less danger speeding across the country at so miles an hour on a railway train than he is crossing a street in any of the prin- cipal cities of the United States, de- clared R. II. Ashton, president of the American Railway Association. in an address prepared for delivery at the annual meeting of the safety section of the organization here today.
 Although the railways in 1924 transported 931,000,00 passengers. nearly nine times the population of the United States, only 149 fatalities occurred and the number of injured was Is per cent less than the aver age for the previous four years and the smallest since 1901. he said.
 Although the greatest traffic on record was handled in 1924, fewer employees lost their lives than in any year since records were started In 1888. Also fewer employees were in injured. he said.
 Reduction of grade crossing acci- dents, he said. was one of the most serious problems confronting the railroads. Elimination of such crossings he estimated would cost 20 billion dollars or nearly the same amount fixed by the interstate com merce commission as the tentative valuation of the railroad properties.
 As a result of campaigns conduct ed by the railroads, some improve ment has resulted in grade cross ing accidents, which decreased Is per cent In 1924, as compared with the yearly average for the years 1920 and 1923, he said.

VERMONT POSSE n STILL HUNTING Fasrsr
No Trace Of eX,COnViCt and Girl
 Reward Offered

Granville, Vermont April 2s.- A score of searchers, from Granville, Braintree and Hancock, led by Dep uty Sheriff II. E. Ford, pressed far thor northward today in quest of H. year-old Lucille Chatterton and Earl Woodward, former convict with whom she disappeared from her home here last Friday. Following re- ports that the pair were seen on Bralntrcc hin the night before last and discovery yesterday of a few footprints bearing toward the north, the search was pushed into the Bull Run district of southern Northicld, beyond inc town of Bruintrec,
 A night Of search of the heavily wooded hill country yielded no new trace Of the pair. No further foot prints or evidence which might give rursuers direction were found, and 1t was admitted that the hunt may easily swing in the wrong direction or that the pair might have been passed in the miles of hills dotted with abandoned farms and lumber camps, in which areas under cultiya- ton are widely scattered That Woodward might venture into one of the villages to augment his scanty supply Of food was considered un- likely.
 The last time the girl Is known 10 have been seen was when she went 10 a spring 10 fetch water, on the farm of her father, Walter Chatter ton. Woodward, befriended by Chat terton and employed as d farmland, vanished at the same time. He had purchased a small supply Of food in the village and had rifle and am intuition.
 Footprints were found on a road to the northward. A report from Wales Sargent in Braintree, of a man and a woman proving near his farm, swung the search in that di rection Sunday night. Yesterday a few footprints leading toward the Bull Run district apepared to con- firm the report and the posse follow cd their general direction.
 Attorney General Frank C. Archi- bald yesterday actively interested himself in the search and came to Granville. He ordered the capture Of Woodward dead or alive"
 Lucille wore only sweater over her dress when she disappeared. Weather conditions since Friday have been favorable, however prac- tically no stormy weather having broken the unusually warm spell.
