FEW KILLED IN WRECKS

(irratly Itcriiircd.
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.
