VICTIMS OF AUTOS
NUMBER HUNDREDS

Modern jug gernauts.
SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTS
BY MODERN JAUGERNAUT.

New York, May 1S.-No longer need
the juggernaut of Pagan India hang
Its head In shame. Its horrors are mild
in comparison with the slaughter of
the innocents by the modern jugger-
naut of the auto in this Christian lane
of America. Since January l the au-
tomobile accidents IN New York n
vicinity have numbered 1913. or these
forty-three were In the week just
elapsed. In siXty-two cases men. wom-
en- and children were done to death.
From the whole number may be Sc
lected between fifty n seventy which
have rendered their victims permanent
cripples.
And yet no guilty owner or driver Of
a murderous automobile has been pun
ished for manslaughter. The severest
penalty has been a moderate fine. and
many have even escaped paying this
blood money.
OF the sixty-two fatal accidents ff-
ty-three of them took place when the
owner Of the automobile was In the
car. 1t Is an awful list which presents
these facts. but the record is just the
bare truth. In ~tWenty-seVen of those
fatal cases the owner was at the wheel.
Those tWenty-SeVen cases were repre-
scented by twenty-three members Of
licensed clubs, which offer their stand

verse to automobile interests.
In the list of accidents referred to Is
the record Of one millionaire whose
machines have killed two men. This
m~illionaire's automobiles have figured
in thirteen accidents, in which, in adj
dition to the two killed, nine persons
have been injured. five permanently.
He is proverbially the most reckless
driver In New York. He is a member
in high standing of one of the auto
mobile clubs, has been an officer since
its formation and Is a member Of its
important committees He has been
arrested since January l Of this year
five times. No case has come to trial.
