More than half of the persons driv-
ing automobiles apparently pay no
more attention to railroad crossings
than to the pickets in fence. ac-
cording to u study made by the safety
department of the Northern Pacific
railroad, the results Of which have
been presented to the state railroad
board.
The study, according to F. M. Met
calfe of the Northern Pacific Safety
division, was made in order to deter
mine ''the efficiency of both rail-
way employees and the public in US
ing railroad highway crossings in
North Dakota" and was made at the
request Of the chairman Of the COM
mittee ON the prevention Of highway
crossing accidents of the American
Railway Assoc iation Safety Section.
Check Made July 3
The study was made at the state
highway crossing Of the Northern
Pacific tracks. three miles west Of
Cleveland which has been designated
by the state railroad board as o
"stOp" crossing at which motorists
are required to come to complete
stop before proceedings across the
crossing.
The check, made July g, showed
that 62 automobiles passed over the
crossing between $3.50 .. m. and 4:30
p. m. The road was heavy because Of
rains and automobiles were unable to
make fast speed. Five drivers looked
IN one direction only: l6 looked n

lNJUNCTION9 TO STOP
FIGHT ARGUED. TODAY

Philadelphia, Sept. Zz-NJ-COm-
mon pleas court No. this afternoon
denied a motion to postpone argu.
ments on the application Of B. C.
Clements of the Chicago Coliseum
club, for injunctions to stop the Jack
Dempsey-G Gene Tunney fight here to-
morrow night.
The court then proceeded to hear
arguments on the injunctions.
The motion to postpone was made
by Congressman Benjamin F. Colder,
who said he had been requested to
DO 90 by the attorney general Of
Pennsylvania, who did not know Of
the proceedings until late yesterday.
Two injunction applications were
filed by Clements, one yesterday
against Dempsey, Tunney and Tex
Rickard, the promoter. The other was
filed today against the sequicenten-
nial exhibition association, in whose
stadium the fight will be held, and
against. the three members Of the
Pennsylvania state athletic commits
sion.
The injunctions were brought on
the ground that Dempsey and failed
to fulfil contract with Clements to
fight Harry Wills, the negro heavy
weight, before he met any other
fighter.

Martial law remained in force
throughout the storm area. with na-
tional guardsmen patroling the

of business destroyed by the storm.
Grocery men and druggists are dis
pensing food and medicines freely. in
many cases 10 persons unable to
pay. ,#
Virtually the whole Of the devas-
tated area presents q scene of destruc.
tion beyond the telling. Parts Of au-
tomobiles, limbs and trunks of huge
trees, roofs, telephone poles, glass
and wreckage were strewn through
the streets by the high wind, while
the inrushing waters of the gulf
stream cast scores Of yachts, schoon-
ers and steamers and pleasure craft
high on the beaches. Both the Miami
river at Miami and the New river at
Fort Lauderdale are cloeged many
blocks inland with marine wreckagc.
Reports from the citrus and vege-
table growing sections show that the
loss to crops was high, one estimate
yesterday placing the damage at. S.
