CHICAGO SENDS MORE MAIL
THAN GOTHAM.

Chicago's contribution to Uncle Sam s
mail service soon will eclipse New York S
despite the greater population of the
latter city, according to figures made
public yesterday, which show that the
Chicago postoffice, on population basis
did larger business for December than
the New York office.
The total receipts for last month in
Chicago We're 1881, 655, or approx
mately 81 per capita. New Yolk's
total business for the same month was
$3,O71, $50, which, on the population
basis of 4,000,0 900, was about rs cents
per capita.
The increase in the Chicago business
over the corresponding month in 1917
was a record breaker, amounting tc
1861, OS0, or about SO per cent. New
York's increase over December, 1912,
was $500, 426, or about % per cent.
The figures for December business ir
Chicago are larger than any before ir

Auto Deaths in New York.

New York. Jan, 3. Statistics COM
piled by Col. Edward S. Cornell of the
National Highways Protective Society,
and made public through E. S. Cloves
of the society, show that automobiles
killed almost as many persons in this
city during the year just ended as they
killed in the two preceding years.
The 1913 figures reveal that 302 per-
sons were killed by automobiles, or only
81 less than in 1911 and 1912 combined.
The society feels much encouraged,
however, over the relative showing of
the last two months. For although the
December fatalities, numbering 25, were
five more than those of the correspond
ing period of 1912, they were so p. C.
less than the November fatalities.
The great falling off is attributed tc
the rigid enforcement of the municipa
speed ordinance, whose provisions the
police and magistrates began to enforce
on Dec l.

Three are Hurt in Auto Crash.

Three persons were injured when a
Newton police patrol wagon collided
with touring car at Chestnut street
and Commonwealth avenue, Newton,
late yesterday afternoon, throwing out
the occupants of both machines and
pushing the patrol wagon sidewise
across the car tracks on Commonwealth
avenue.
The patrol wagon was returning from
Newton Upper Falls, and was moving
north along Chestnut street. At Com
monwealth avenue the driver of the
patrol wagon, M. A. Forte, saw tour
ing car going west and sounded his
horn. Both machines continued without
slackening their speed, however.
Robert Kendall of Amesbury drove
the touring car, which is owned by
j. J. Kimbal of Nashua, N. H. 1t is
said Kendall also signalled. His ma
chine, however, hit the patrol wagon
between the front and rear wheels
and showed it sidewise across the car
tracks.
The touring car was DETECTED by the
collision into post and skidded across
the car tracks, throwing Kendall, its
only occupant, into the road. He was
not hurt.
The patrol wagon was badly damaged
and Forte, the driver, sustained bad
body bruises, cut in the back OF
the head and bad sprain on his left
side. Inspector E. c. O'Haloran sus
tanned cuts and bruises about the head
and Patrolman S. E. Mahoney suffered
numerous cuts. Boston Journal.

p. w. S. Lindner Badly Hurt.

Lynbrook. L. l., January 16. Paul w.
s. Lndner of Hemstead is lying badly
injured in the home of his brother
George, at Valley Stream. Shortly after
midnight this morning he was hurled
from his automobile in collision with
motor truck.
He had been visiting his brother and
soon after midnight started home in
his machine. AS he rounded a curve
about three-quarters of mile from
Valley Stream he crashed into the rear
of heavy motor truck belonging to a
Manhattan department store.
What happened after that Mr.. Lind
ner does not remember. 1t is thought
that, although the front of the automo-
bile was smashed in, the driver of the
truck may have been unaware of the
accident, so heavy and big was his
truck. At any rate, Mr.. Lindner lay
for over two hours unconscious in the
road. After a time he revived anc
crept back to his brothers home.
DR.. Samuel A. Bradbury of Lynbrook
was called in, and at first it was thought
MIR. Lindner had sustained internal in
juries and might die. Today, however
it was established that there are no in
ternal injuries, and the doctor reported
that his patient is resting comfort

Mrs. Madeline Talmadge Force Aston,
widow of Colonel John Jacob Aston,
who went down on the Titanic on April
Is, 1912, yesterday won her fight against
the payment of inheritance taxes on
property set apart for her by Colonel
Aston in prenuptial agreement.
In his report in the Surrogates' Court
John V. Coggey, who reappraised the
estate, yesterday agreed with Mrs.
Astor's contention that her interest in
the property is not bequest, but was
created before her husbands death and
is debt against the estate. Coggey
values the estate at $85, 800, 1926, which
is subject to deductions that will make
the amount $84, 239, 497.
By the report Mrs. Astor is saved at
least $29, 269, an amount based on an I'M
