Chicago July Sixty one dead and 3.246 injured
are the returns to date from the Fourth of July
celebration of 1909. These figures compare with
seventy-two dead and 27S6 injured reported up to
the same hour of the second day after the cele-
bration year ago
This years enumeration covers % per cent more

began gathering statistics of Independence Day
casualties For this 1t is believed the figures
represent larger portion Of the final figures than In
previous years and that the figures which came
later by mail will show reduction in casualties
as compared with previous years
Tetanus already has caused nearly score or
deaths among those who were injured in prena-
ture celebrations The toy pistol. which is re-
sponsble for a majority of the deaths from tet-
anus caused $3.50 deaths reported up to Tuesday
midnight. as compared with 23 last year. and the
high record of 42S. made in 1852
Injuries due to rJ.aways caused by explosives
were 81 in 1909, compared with 25 last year and
12O in 1897.
The encouraging feature of the figures is the
reduction I'm casualties in the cities which did
away altogether with the sale Of fireworks. Wash
1ngton and Cleveland passed through the three
day celebration without single person being in
Iured Milwaukee made brave attempt to regu-
late the sale and use Of fireworks. and had no
