SPEEDING DANGERS
ARE EXAGGERATED
Auto Accidents Generally
Due to CareleSSness or
Reckless Operation.
By HARRY WARD.

In Washington, as elsewhere. there IS
much popular misCOuCep1i0n as 70 the
dangers attendant upon the speed at
which motor vehicles are CAPABLE of
going One Of the greatest merits OF
the modern automobile IS its capacity
for sustained rapid travel, and while
1t IS not 20 be denied that there are
certain dangers fnseparabIe from all
fast driving, these dangers are ordfnar-
lily much uisrepresented and much mis-
understood by that class Of the public
which are always fntoleraut OF fnuova-
tons
As matter Of fact, as pointed out
BY some one who has looked carefully
into the matter. most automobile acCi-
dents occur IN a sense independent Of
speed, and are due more TO careless
ness or reckless operation than 10 the
actual rate Of going. Some Of the worst
accidents occur at the lowest speeds.

Scores of the men tried to rush the

women, tearing and dragging them aside
and even trampling them under foot.
Frantic Men Knocked Down.
The crew battled valiantly against the
panic-stricken emigrants using fist and
feet and any weapon they could find.
Not few frantic men were felled before

In the stampede four persons fell or
were pushed into the sea and were res
