TRESPASSINC
DEATHS Gain
213 Trespassers Killed,
236 Injured On South
ern Tracks In Year

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 28.-The
hazard of trespassing on the
tracks and trains of railroads is
forcefully reavealed in a bulletin
issued by the Safety Bureau OF
the Southern Railway System,
showing that during the year
1888 casualties to trespasSers on
the property of the Southern
reached the tragic proportions OF
213 persons killed and 236 in
iured. This was an increase OF
ten percent in deaths and four
percent in injuries over 1882 and
set a new high record for both
deaths and injuries.
According to the bulletin, there
were II killed and 154 injured
while trespassing on trains as
against rs killed and 1856 injur-
ed in 1882. Trespassing on the
tracks of the Southern accounted
for 1876 deaths and 80 injuries in
1888, as against ia deaths and
II injuries in the preceding year.
In the twelve year period, 1922
through 1888, the total casual
ties among trespassers on the
Southern Railway Systems tracks
and trains numbered 1907 kill
ed and Plat injured. The low
est number of deaths for any
one year was 120 in 1922 and
the lowest number of injuries,
1873 in 1927, the bulletin reveals.

ANOTHER LONG
FIGHT FACED
ON VETS AID
Funding Bill Must Pass
Two Houses Again, Il 1t
Is Vetoed

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. (UPD
The administration struggled
vainly yesterday to ouell the vet
Grams revolt on Capitol Hill, and
in the face of a veto warning,
the senate passed the independent
offices bill with amendments call
ing for some SO, 100000 more in
veterans benefits than the White
House approves.
Majority Leader Joe T. Robin
son, DEM. Ark, warned that if
the bill finally survived in its
present form, President Roosevelt
would veto it. Earlier Speaker
Rainey of the house had made
public a letter from the president
saying that he would veto a bill
providing for cash bonus payment
if it were passed.
The only solace for the White
House in the days veterans de-
velopments was defeat by the SEN
ate of an amendment to the indie
pendent offices bill calling for
cash payment of the So, 100000
600 soldier bonus. This amend
ment. offered by Huey Long, lost
bv "a to Cd, but many senators
who voted against it explained
that they favored the objective
and opposed it only because of its
form as a rider to the general
appropriation measure.
When the Independent offices
bill passed the house. the admin
istration indicated that it was
willing to restore to veterans
S22,OOO,0OO annually taken away
by the economy act. Senate
amendments to the house bill
have tackled more than $100,0OO,-
900 additional on to the measure.
The independent offices bill
goes now to conference between
the house and senate committees.
The house passed it. under gag
rule, in form acceptable to
the administration; but sentiment
among the representatives is
strong for the additional veter-
ans aid, and it is not unlikely
that the senate amendments may
win house approval.
If so the president must either
accept defeat or veto the entire
bill which would then have to
start it's way through congress all
over again. Scores of vital gov
eminent bureaus would have to
close down, and the veterans
would get nothing at all, if CO..
gress should adjourn without
passing a substitute bill accepta-
BILE to the president.

form, learned of the holdup when
a pistol was stuck in his back.
Three bandits were in the gang
which stopped Kemner and Doyle.
One of them had a machine gun
and the others carried pistols. &C
cording to witnesses.
The other two bandits remained
in their automobiles parked at the

of the bandits carrying pistols
fired point blank at Kemner. The
messenger was struck near the
heart. He staggered into near
by store and fell dead on the

With Little Vicki
Attracts Much

By LYR HUME

Mrs. w. Warren Barbour,
wife Of Senator Barbour, Of
New Jersey, has two interest
ing canine comr anions-Jilno,
q Great Dane, and Vickd, a
dachshund.
They accompany her on
walks - little Vicki running
along to keep UP with her large
friend, Juno. Both are un-
usually fine examples Of their
breeds.
Juno is fawn color, four years
old and has to her credit q blue
ribbon, won in New Jersey.
Mrs. Barbour has entered her IN

Friendly Dog
Juno accompanies Mrs. Bar
bour to many outdoor sporting
events, where needless to say,
she attracts much attention. A
very friendly dog, she embodies
all the noble characteristics OF
her breed.
The Great Dane, or boarhound,
ais he was formerly called, is Of
ancient type and there are coins
which were made before the
Christian era that bear an im-
preston Of q large long-headed
powerful dog Of the general pro-
portions and appearance Of the
present Great Dane.
In Germany the ears Of these
dogs are still cropped, presurn-
ably to give them what is con-
sidered q more alert and striking
appearance, but this practice
has been abolished in most other
countries.
characteristics
In earlier times, the breed was
used as q protector of property
and person, as well as a hunter.
With the introduction Of dog
shows the breed received greater
attention in its native country,
where q club has been eStab-
lished for the purpose Of pro-
noting and encouraging its
propagation upon lines which
the club has laid down accord
ing to its conception Of what the
correct type and features should
be.
The disposition of the Great
Dane is naturally docile. This
docility should be fostered when
young, at which time character
in the dog, as in the youth, is to
a great extent formed.
Interesting Companion
IF q Great Dane is spoiled in
his upbringing, he is, on ac-
count of his great ,;Size and
power, more than ordinarily
dangerous, which fact seihpha-
