New Works. Many Fatalities Attribut-
ed to Reckless Driving.

New York, Nov. 9.-Responsibility
for the killing Of eighty-nine persons
and the serious injury Of S55 others
in motor car accident in the streets
of New York since Jan. I, 1911, was
attributed today by Col. Edward s.
Cornell, secretary OF the National
Highways Protective society, to 10y
riding, intoxicated chaufreurs, ignor-
ant owners of cars and irresponsible
and reckless nighthawk cabmen."
According to an investigation made
by the National Highways Protective
society, not more than half Of 1 per-
cent, Of the accidents are due to taxi
cabs owned by the large taxicab COM
panies, who are gradually wedding out
the undesirable chauffeurs. There
are 1921 cars in operation by the
taxicab companies, covering 100000
miles year in this city. One COM
pany promises to limits it's cabs to a
speed of fifteen miles per hour.
OF the eighty-nine fatalities, thirty
five were children, and POT children

BURNS CALLS 1T SUICIDE.
Or. knabe Was Not Murdered, thu
Noted Detective Says.

indianapolis, Nov. 9.-After making
a study of the facts connected with
the death OF DR.. Helen Knabe, detec-
tive w. ]. Burns said while in Indian
apolis that the most logical conclu-
sion is that the woman committed sui
eide the most likely cause being I'M
realized professional ambition. Mr..
Burns was familiar with every detail
connected with DR.. Knabe's death and,
after reviewing all of them, ne aver
red that he could not understand why
there should be any mystery connect
ed with the death.
"If it was a murder there must have
been a motive" said Mr.. Burns. 1.-THE
police have dsproved the theory of
robbery, the doctors have disproved
the theory of assault, and the high
character of the woman has disproved
any possible theory of a Clandestine
meeting. The body lay on the bed
undisturbed from the position in
which the doctor lay after retiring.
When the body was found in the NOR.
ming by Miss Mcpherson the light was
| burning. 1t Is not customary for a
murderer to commit his crime in the
open light with the window shades UP
and in full view from the lighted
street. A murderer does not have a
brass band. He would not have DELHI
erately killed this woman, placed the
knife in his pocket and quietly depart
ed from the building in full view Of 9
window where the shades were up and
light burning"
Mr.. Burns declared there is no posi-
tive proof that any cutlery was heard
in the night, and every other theory
of murder has been set aside by the
actual facts connected with the death
he said. The fact that Miss McPher
son was calm and deliberate in the
hours Immediately after the finding
of the body and that Miss Augusts
Knabe, cousin of the dead woman
showed less signs Of being moved by
the supposed crime, might or nigh
not strengthen the theory Of suicide
Mr.. Burns believed The high regard
in which Miss Mcpherson held DR.
Knabe, she being her personal friend
would lead her away from the belle
of suicide and would cause he
thoughts to turn Immediately to muir
der, according to Mr.. Burns views
The coroner is still working on tn,
murder theory.

Chicago, Nov. 1O.-Not more than

Clearing House association when the
latter took over the three Walsh
banks at the time of their founders
arrest.
The Walsh fortune, once estimated
at $27,000,000, was reduced largely by
loss of the banks, and in the settle
ment of the big note referred tc
Walsh put over s14,0OO,OOO in securi
ties, which, he said at the time, prac
