SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Juno 26 In the Inst thrco years and ten months no pnssongor hns beon killed through collision or derailment on tho Southern Pacific, according to tho nccldent statistics of tho Inter state Commerce Commission, recent ly mndo public. During this period tho rond carried 150, -100,000 passon gors nn nvorago dlstanco of 42 miles. In tho last threo years and four months but ono pnssengor was killed through dorallment or colli sion on the Union Pacific. Thero woro 27,900,00 passongors carried during that tlmo. Rail breakage lias beon reduced to n minimum by tho Introduction of tho standard rail. Stool cars nro replacing woodon enrs over tho en tire Harrlmnn System nnd automatic block slgnnls will soon bo In opera tion over every port of tho lines. Tho Inspection of tho rails as they are manufactured, originally innugurn tol by tho Harrlmnn lines, hns had much to do with tho mnklng of this safety record, and several other ronds In this country hnvo recently started similar Inspection methods. Thoro Is ono way to reduco the fatality record on. Amorlcnn rail roads and that Is to pass laws that will prevent trespassing on tho rights of way. FIfty-threo por cent or tno peopio Killed on our railroads annually loso their lives becauso ot trespassing. A lnrgo mnjorlty of thoso killed aro hoboes and others, stealing rules. To show tho Importance that fuol oil is in tho world nt present, It may bo stated that thero are now being built In England nlono 5 lame steamers with 800,000 tons loading capacity. These, for tho transporta tion of fuel oil only, mind you, nnd yet tho demand has senrcely begun. Coal aB a fuel seems to bo on tho rapid decline list.
