Two lives snuffed out and two others
hanging by a thread in the hospital,
together with half a dozen other per-
sons manned and more or less injured,
is the record of automobile casualties
on the streets OF Salt Lake during the
month of April.
In most cases the drivers of auto
mobiles acted considerably about the
accidents They have stopped their
cars and rendered all the aid possible
to the victims, but IN several Instances
where pedestrians have been run down
by speed maniacs the lever has been
thrown TO the high-speed clutch. and
they have driven away. leaving their
victims on the pavement, and the police
and the people to speculate as to the
owner Of the car or the chauffeur driv-
ing IL.
In the case Of c. J. Thor, who was
run down at Third South and Main
streets Saturday night, and who is at
deaths door as a result OF his injuries.
the driver of the car. which was filled
with so-called Joy riders, did not even
slow down to- ascertain whether his
victim was dead or alive, but, on the
other hand, put on full speed ahead
and was lost around the first corner.
The police are still baffled as to the
identity of the machine.
The state law provides that all motor
cars shall be registered with the sec
rotary OF state, and that officials shall
Issue number to correspond with the
registration The number is supposed
placed cOnspicuOusly on the car.
The police are supposed to keep n
record OF these numbers, and in case
of accident the number on the car in
dicates its owner
The books Of the secretary of state
show that in the state of Utah there
are 1,012 automobiles registered.
Eighty-five per cent of these machines
are owned and operated in Salt Lake.
The police have a record only of $50
machines. This arm Of the law which
is supposed to enforce the law in re-
gard to right of the road and speed
violations asserts that il has not been
furnished a supplemental or complete
list Of the registrations and car num-
bers- The secretary of state says that

open to not only the police but to the
public.
It is generally conceded that the law
in regard TO the regulation Of motor
cars is woefully lame. There is no rec
ord of a fine for violation of speed
limit IN the downtown districts. The
speed regulation in cities is one mile
in four minutes and on There have
been arrests. In these cases nominal
bond was forfeited There is no city
ordinance regulating speed Of motor
vehicles.
Use Fictitious Numbers.
The Salt Lake police are convinced
that many automobiles are equiyUed
with fictitious numbers, and have come
to this conclusion after making futile
attempts to arrest owners Of autOmO-
biles who have run down citizens and
then made their escape, leaving the I'M
