CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-Blue-eyed
Paddy Cox from County Mayo of
Ireland came to Chicago two

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED

SEATTLE, Nov. 1.-THE mys-
terry regarding the death of George
Gale, the young man who died
shortly after being run over by a
Green Lake car on the trestle near
Halliday Landing, early Thursday
morning, deepens with each sue
ceeding hour. Edgar Varney, the
man last seen with Gale, is under
arrest pending the results of the
inquest. which will be held by Cor
oner Carroll today in the Bonney-
Watson mortuary parlors.
The police scout the idea of MUIR
der. but there is a growing belief
that the unexplained circumstances
surrounding the young mans
death may show that he was the
victim of foul play. The authori-
ties have information which they
decline to divulge that warrants the
closest investigation into every de-
tail of the case. and it is expected
that the inquest will develop some
new and material facts, showing
that his death was premeditated.

On account of the prevalence of

of barley. On the outskirts of the

internally. At first his recovery
was thought possible but he was
not able to recover from the hor-
rible shock and passed away.

THE AUTO CLAIMS 256
LIVES SO FAR THIS YEAR

The automobile. modern peril of
the public highway, has destroyed
the lives of 256 men, women and
children in the United States dur
ing the. 10 months from Jan / to
Nov. l.
Correspondents of this newspaper
have carefully collected the data
of all the accidents reported from
every city of the country, and their
reports show that appalling total.
But even more alarming is the
fact disclosed by the compilers
that the death list is growing in
ratio by leaps and bounds.
On Sept. /, when this newspaper
tabulated the grewsome records for
the first eight months CT the year,
it was found that the lives of 113
persons had been sacrificed to the
speed-crazed automobile, and that
at least 362 persons had been Sc
riously injured.
But that record of eight months
Jan. | to Sept. WAS totally
eclipsed by the dreadful work of
this modern engine of destruction
during September and October In
those two months 143 persons were
killed, 80 more than in all the pre-
vious months of 1907. The total of
seriously injured bounded up from
1862 to S64.
The compilation of reports dis
closes that it is not the wealthy,
speedcrazed automobilst who
have suffered most heavily from
this deadliest of modern luxuries.
On the contrary. the men, women
and children who ride in street
cars, or walk, have been drawn
upon most frequently by the terror
of the streets.
The lives of SO persons have
been snuffed Out-ground beneath
the crushing, managing wheels
since Jan. l, while crossing the
streets, walking on the highways
or on the sidewalks. Hundreds
have been knocked down and in
jured.
That the owners and occupants
of the machines have also paid
frightful toll is shown in the fact
that "A were killed by losing con-
troll of the car, being thrown over
entertainments, to the roadway,
against telegraph poles and over
bridges.

terror of the streets?
Thousands of lives are given up
annually in railroad wrecks. Last
year the toll reached the appalling
number of 5000 dead, from vari-
Gus causes. But the railroads
come and go in narrow confines,
