Installation of safely devices and
the block signal Hti'ni are cited for
the record of the llarriman railroads
in enrrying 1!MU1,000 pnsongers in
1010 without sacrificing a singlo life.
The report was compiled in the of
fice of .Julius Krnttschnitt, director
Deputy I'nited Slates Marshall T.
E. Ilainmer.ley pacd through. Med
ford yesterday with too women pris
oner.., who are going to Portland
where they aro to be held under fed
eral charges. The women were Hell

of inaiiitenance and operation, Chi-lnier is charged with the wry seri
oago. It cowred the Ijiimiio-m of the' ns offense of being a "white -liner"
Union Pacific. Southern I'aeilic and while the other woman is being taken
affiliated roads, a total of 17,0(10
miles. The total number of passen
gers caried on a mile basis is ;i,()00,
000.0(10. The Ilarrininn system carried 10
per cent of the estimated 1010 pas
senger traffic. Tlio figures for most
of the other railroads have not yet
been compiled by the government, but
in 100!) the number of passengers
carried wa 2!),O(IO,0()O,(IO(). The fig
ures for 11)10, it is said, will not
exceed a billion more.
iMnny otiier railroads Have gone
through a year without a fatality to
any of its passengers, but it is said
that no system has made this record
for such a largo total of passengers.
Hosulls on the llarriman lines arc
ascribed to a campaign waged by tlio
manngeinenl for years to reduce acci
dents. The llarriiaan system now
has more miles of automatic block
signnl protection than any other sys
tem in the woild. Mr. Krultschnitt
has directed special attention to the
accident problem, and began several
vears ago to hring about a reduction
by" giving complete publicity to nil
forms of accidents and their inves
tigation, which it is helicved, spurred
office and employes to greater ef
forts to safeguard lives.

dents on the I'niou Pacific was 'JO

along lor sine keeping as a wit
ness. Those arrests arc the outcome cf
thu strenuous efforts by the federal
authorities tu stamp out the abomin
able practice.
In the complaint which was filed
some time ugo in Portland the charge
is made that Pell Marshall induced
tlio Weed girl to move from Seattle to
Lakeview. The testimony submitted
at that time showed that the Marshall
woman was one of a gang of "white
slavers" which had to floe from Sh
uttle when the lato change in (he ad
ministrations was made there when
Mn.or Gill was ousted by icoall and
that she took with her for immoral
purposes the younger woman and
headed for Lakeview.
Hoth the women were placed under
bail of .flfiOO hy the authorities!, and
as they could not raise this amount
they will be taken to Portland where
they will haw to remain in jail until
the case in tinally settled in the fed
eral court.
