They have pointed out that moro than half of the fatalities on the railroads of tho United States In recent years have been trespassers, men who had no business on the right of way. These appeals to help save lives have not been answered as the managers of roads would have liked to have them answered. The result has been continued loss of life nnd tho railroads have been helpless to stop It. Tramps congregate on the right of way, take possession of freight trains, ride nt will and defy railway employes to prevent them. Occasionally a tramp falls between the cars os Is caught when freight trains crumple up in a derailment. In many cases the victims are never identified. Rail way statistics show that it is safer to ride on a railway passenger train than in one's own automobile or be hind one's favorite driving horse, but they are making no claims for freight trains as safe places for tramps to ride. The large number of tramps in the state accounts for thev unusual num ber of accidents" during the past few weeks, but accidents of this character are occurring on all the roads in this stnto the year around.
