BALTIMORE, December 10.—More than 1,600 persons were killed and nearly three times that number werei seriously injured as a result of acci- dents at raliway: crossings during the | past year, according to a statement prepared by W. Galloway, vice president, in charge of operation and maintenance of the Baltimore and| Ohio railroad, as a part of the rail- ! road’s campaign .or the promotion of safety. Most of these accidents involved| motorists, who. failed to observe the ordinary precautions when approach- ing grade crossings and could easily have been prevented by the exercise | of such simple precautions as slow- | ing down to a moderate speed, |ook-l Hahn’s announce extraordinary purchase of Evening’ Slippers $7.50 ing and listening before crossing the tracks. NEY Company Takes Notes. . about Realizing that the number of auto- : mobiles is steadily increasing, the 1,000 pairs, Baltimore and Ohio railroad has bee but from trying, by means of a system of ob- one of servers at crossings, who take the . number of all cars crossing the tracks at an excessive rate of speed. to mail to the owners of such auto- mobiles cards calling attention to the fact that cars carelessly handled ex- pose the occupants to unnecessary danger. According to Mr. Galloway's state- ment, this system of observations and warnings has proved of considerable worth in lessening the number of careless crossings, many owners of ‘ cars having written to him to thank him for calling the matter to their attention. - Observations Tabulated. A tabulation of the observations made during the last nine months is as follows Number of cars observed crossing the tracks, 340,025. Number failin precautions, 16,0 Percentage of failure to observe, 4 pgr cent, #r. Galloway has tabulated 138 consecutive accidents that occurred in this vicinity recently, with the re- sult showing the paradoxical factj that it is when least excusable that crossing accidents occur. A large majority of persons, if asked on what day of the week they would expect most accidents to occur, ~ would answer: “Sunday, because the roads are full of automobiles and drivers that do not appear on other days.” But the tables show that of the 138 accidents, 27 occurred Wednesday, 25 | Monday, 20 Saturday, 19 Friday, 17 Thursday, while Tuesday and Sunday were tied for last place, with 15 acci- dents each. Another surprising fact which the check brought out was that nearly B rooklyn’s finest shoe factories.

This tabulation showed | that the accidents where the vision was clear numbered 113; where the vision was obstrfucted, 25. | In concluding his statement, design- ed to prevent automobile accidents at | grade crossings, Mr. Galloway brought out the fact that, before becoming a passenger engineer a man must serve on an average of 17 years as a part of a locomotive's crew, while at the same time an automobile, capable of traveling as fast as a passenger train, is intrusted to the care of an operator after a few hours of instruction and demonstration.
