CFrom the Automobile.)

The recent agitation among the in
surance companies regarding the
great increase in automobile acct
dents within the last few years and
the marked intention of some OF the
accident insurance men TO increase
their rates has led the more careful
owners and drivers TO inquire what
the causes OF these accidents are.
II is only natural 10 expect that
the majority of these mishaps take
place in the city where there are more
cars and this is found 10 be actually
the case. According TO the insurance
experts the greater part Of the accl-
dents are not due to careIessness, but
nevertheless there are a great many
which are directly traceable TO this
and no other cause.
One of the most prolific causes Of
accidents in city streets is skidding.
Not less than 80 per cent of the skids
encountered are not at all due to
negligence on the part OF the driver.
An accident which may happen to any
one occurs when the car cones upon
a freshly sprinkled stretch OF asphalt
and is compelled by traffic exigencies
70 make quick stop.
When the brakes are set hard on
an occasion OF this kind. the car is
sure to start sliding because the back
wheels are locked If the fractional
grip of the tires on the wet surface
Of the road is sufficient 10 check this
slip before it becomes dangerous,
there is no danger to be feared Where
the skid is not checked, however, the
car is entirely out OF the drivers con
troll, unless by a mere chance he may
again apply the power and secure
sufficient traction to get the car again
under command.
Where the skid is not prevented
an accident is extremely probable il
the traffic is dead. An accident OF
this kind is sufficiently frequent to
make a considerable number wher
taken in the aggregate.
The chief objection TO asphalt as z
pavement is its slipperiness at the
slightest moisture. The dust which
settles on the surface of the asphalt
combines with the water TO make q
thin layer of paste which acts in
about the same manner as a slippery
grade of axle grease would do shoulC
il be spread upon the surface of tn,
road.
1t is fact that little moisture OF
tht asphalt road will make it NOR,

ARGUS AND union
READY TO BATTLE

Employees of The Argus and Union
will battle next Tuesday afternoon at
Island City park, proceeds to go to
the Associated Charities. The lineup
of The Argus is not fully completed as
yet, but it is safe to say that there will
be a galaxy of stars Chats what they
all say in The Argus nine. Some say
the bunch.
One thing which listens with glad
ness TO this crowd on the "aynoo' is
the announcement that one jerome
OConnor, erstwhile center on the
Rock Island high school football team,
is to cavort around the shortstop po-
Ssh. He weighs just 203 pounds at
the present writing and he counts on
his adiposity to stop the balls as they
whizz to the outfield And, further
more. 'Izzy" Fulmer is to hold down
first base We are sure he can hold
down the sack, but when it comes TO
holding the pill-well, we saw him
play once before. They claim that
their pitcher is a dandy. His name is
Kahle. and oh. how soft he was two
years ago. He is a veteran at the
game now and his heart fiUtters as the
seventh inning approaches.
Writ TAYLOR of the Associated Chair
ties Is taking care of all arrangements
and he has yet to glom onto pair of
umpires. He win have tickets of ad-
mission on saie-and that is the most
important part Of it.

 This confession was a remarkable fessed to the murder of the Josephs boy and to the murder of Michael dead in Centr2l Park in 1902. Resides this he disclosed a long list of at- committed n Lowell, Mass, on Aug ust.5
 He repeately ave1red that all these crimes were committed when he was drunk. Sober, thought of crime never entered his head, he said, but drunk there came over him an insat- fable desire to kill small boys.

The case al the tme attracted national interest because the father, from time to time received letters warning him to dis. cont nue the search under pain of having his son murdered.
 The circumstantial evidence con- meeting Hickey with the crime re- lates how he was in Lackawanna iI the fall of 1911. Here he was em. ployed by the Rogers, Brown Iror Company. He was not at work on the day of dhe boys death and spent part of the day in McGovern's saloon, which is near the Josephs' home or Ridge Road, Lackawanna.
 The little Joserhs boy left school at about three o'clock in the after noon, going directly to his home where he left his books at four o'clock and ran out to play. Half an hour later he bought a pennys worth of candy at a candy store next te McGovern's saloon. That was the last seen of him.
 The final links in the chain of cir mstan;ial evidence were forged by the postal card confess ons which were penned by Hickey during his fits of drunkness.
