FOURTH Is LESS DEADLY.
Etatistica Show Gratifying Decrease In
Aggregate of Injury.

aggregate VI
This years Fourth of July celebra-
ton resulted in 1O4 cases of tetanus, 40
compared with 100 last year year and
415 in 1903, while the injuries from
blank cartridges were 800 this year,
compared with 1905 last year and 1,672
in 1903, according to statistics furnished
in an article in the Journal of the Amer
lean Medical Association.
Restrictions by city ordinances of the
toy pistol are credited with the decrease
i'll the number of cases of tetanus and
blank cartridge injuries, particularly IN
q comparison of the figures of 1903 and
1904. While the number of cases from
blank cartridges is decreasing each year,
cases from the other causes remain about
the same or on the increase.
Besides the lockjaW cases directly due
to Fourth of July accidents, 81 cases
were reported this year due to other in
juries, as penetrating wounds from nails,
splinters, from crushing injuries in falls
or otherwise, compared with SO such
cases last year and Is in 1908.
Pennsylvania, the birthplace of indie
pendence, is this year at least far in
the lead, with 721 casualties, followed by
New York, with 566, and Illinois, with
542. The 1907 total increase over last
year is fairly we'll distributed among the
States.
Besides 81 deaths from tetanus there
were 95 other accidents, making total
of 1872 deaths. There were 1904 non
fatal injuries, or over 1000 more than
the total for last year, which was 1886,
or for 1903, which was 1888. Therefore,
the total of dead and injured was 5,176,
as compared with 4,169 last year or 4, 449
for 1908.
The non-fatal accidents were appar-
emily more severe this year than last
year. Six more were made totally blind,
40 more lost one eye, 10 more lost leg,
arm or hand and 10 more lost one or
more fingers. The most prolific source
of severe accidents causing blindness,
loss of hand, arm or other lacerated
wounds was the giant cracker. Almost
invariably the injury resulted from the
picking up of the cracker or retaining it
in the hand on the supposition that cit
had gone OUT
Cities passed ordinances, some only
against the toy pistol, others prohibiting
the sale of fire crackers above a certain
size. Others prohibited the use of fire.
works on any other day than the Fourth,
while one city, Baltimore, placed the
ban on the use of fireworks of all de-
scriptions. The results in Baltimore are
certainly gratifying, there being only six
accidents reported from that city, and
these of a minor nature.

After battling all night with the
waves, a small boat containing eleven
persons, including four women passen-
gers from the wrecked steamer Sevona,
landed on the desolate shore of Lake Su-
perior, far from human habitation, last
Friday, and the occupants, though worn
with their long struggle and weak from
exposure, tramped to the nearest farm
house to find shelter. Another small
boat, with five persons on board, has not
been heard from, and it is not thought
possible it could have weathered the
gale The Sevona, which was bound
from Allouez to Erie with a cargo OF ore,
ran aground in the darkness on York Isl
and, far out in the lake. In few
moments the vessel broke in two, the af-
ter end sinking in deep water. The two
boats were at once put off, carrying all
the passengers and those of the crew
there was room for leaving the others to
their fate. The women who were saved
were Miss Jones and Mrs. S. T. Spencer
of Erie, Mrs. Cluckey of West Bay City
and Mrs. William Phillips. After those
who escaped were sheltered in the farm
house a messenger with q team was
sent to Bayfield, to report the wreck
but did not arrive until o'clock Sun
day afternoon. The tug Harrow, which
went out from Bayfield, with a resculng
party, returned and reported that moth
ing was seen of the men left on the
boat when the two yawls were Lowered

MANY WORKMEN CELEBRATE
Labor Day observed in All Large ana
Many Small Cities.

Ideal weather conditions prevailed IN
Chicago for the observance OF LABOR
day. The union labor parade was the
chief attraction. Notwithstanding a rul-
ing requiring a similarity OF uniforms ior
bands, President Kennedy of the FED
Grafton announced that the attempt TO
bar non-complying bands from the pa
rade would not be enforced. Many local
labor organizations did not participate
in the parade; the carpenters had plan
ned an all day outing at a suburban
park and the other building trades unions
arranged for similar separate programs.
The parade was halted when 1t was dis
covered that a transfers union was
marching behind q non-union band. Com
mittees went into conference Oh a
street corner The trouble was ADJUST
ed and the parade resumed.

BIG FRAUDS IN LIFE RISKS.
Co1lusion Between Officers and Agents
of Many Companies.


Evidence of extensive fraud in writ
ing insurance on risks known to be bad
has been brought to the attention Of
the legislative insurance committee in
New York. From information it already
possesses the commission is inclined to
the opinion that it has struck a new lead
which will produce extraordinary results.
Additional Importance attaches to the
new line of investigation in that the
fraud is said to involve many companies
The indications, too, it is said, are that
the fraud is not confined to agents who
are anxious to increase their earnings,
but that there is collision between Off
GERS and agents.
If the information given is sustained
upon investigation, it may be shown that
writing policies for large amounts on

to search this matter to the bottom. It
is understood that testimony already had
been volunteered by PHYSICIANS which will
tend to prove that such fraudulent prac-
tees have been in vogue in some of the
big insurance companies for years.
