KEEP OFF THE RAILROAD TRACKS Atlanta, Sept. 26.—Death overtook 174 persons, while walking on tracks, swinging trains, or otherwise tres passing on the property of t h e Southern the ended June 30. Despite all warnings of its danger, the practice of trespassing on rail road property seems on the increase. f> o-r the three previous years the number of trespassers killed on the Southern was as follows: 1913-135; 1914-126; 1915-146, making with 1916 a total of 601 lives sacrificed to care lessness. ~ Statistics show that the great ma jority of railroad trespassers killed are useful citizens. Wage earners, using the tracks while walking to and from their work, furnish a large proportion, while fully a third are school boys, kiled while “hopping” trains.
