CARL (. JOHNSON, OF EMPIRE STAFF,
 HERE WITH BRIDE

Carl c. Johnson, n popular member of The Empire mechanical staff, re- turned from Seattle this morning with bride. who was Miss Edna Mar garet Erickson of Seattle. As a result The Empire is with difficulty getting to press today, the entire staff having had to choose between wading through rice and old shoes, partaking of de- lIc.ous wedding cake, and getting to work.
 The ceremony took place Monday evening, January 10, at 1880 p. m.. at the home of the brides parents. Mir. and Mrs. II. R. Erickson. 6O16 First Avenue Northwest, Seattle, the Rev. Fl. A. Stub pastor of the Elm, Luth- eran Church officiating. Following the ceremony, which was witnessed by the members of the two families only. Q wedding supper was served at the brides home and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson motored to the steamship Ad- mira Evans. which left Seattle for Juneau at o'clock
 The bride was born in Seattle, where her parents have resided for thirty years. She and Mir. Johnson were schoolmates. and their marriage Is the outcome of an association ex- tending over many years. She is tal- ented and popular and was prom nent in the school she attended at Seattle.
 The bridegroom has been in the employ of The Empire since the newspaper was founded by Governor Strong four years ago, and is one of the papers mainstays. He resided In Cordova 0 short time before he came here.
 Mir. and Mrs. Johnson will be at home after February 10. at the B. C.. Delzelle residence .n Distin Avenue.

number of machines has been accom- panied by an Increase of 135 percent in automobile fatalities; and one year increase Of SS percent in number of machines has been accompanied by an increase of 12 percent in fatalities.
 Perhaps more reliable comparison from the staticians point of view, can be made between the increase in number of automobiles in use and the increase in the rate per 100000 popu- lation for deahts caused by them. This IS because. with given number of machines in use in every given area, the fatalities due to them will tend to be proportional to the population of the area. When the comparison is made on this basis. 1t appears that a fve-year increase of 775 percent In number of machines has been accom-. panied by an increase of 25S percent from 1.2 to 4.S per 100000 popula- tion-in the death rate resulting from automobile fatalities. Similarly. 8 one year increase or only lV percent '.' to 4s per 1Oo.OOO-in the death rate charged to them.
 One cause of this proportional de- crease in the destructiveness of the automobile is undoubtedly to be found in a reduction in average annual mil cage; but. after due weight Is given this factor. and a suitable margin is allowed for possible error resulting from inaccuracy in the estimated DOT ton of the automobile statistics. the figures still appear to furnish ample justification for the conclusion that the automobile today is being driven with more care and more regard for public safety than it was a few years ago.

UNION DIES
 IN JUNEAU BEFORE BIRTH

The carpenters union of Juneau has died aborning. The expected local was killed last night at Q rous- ing meeting of the saw and hammer men held in the dining room of the Circle City Hotel.
 There were over seventy present at last nights meeting when 1t was called to order Almost immediately .t was intimated by various speakers that there were reefs ahead for the carpenters who had signed an agree ment to join a union.
 After Q dozen speakers were heard. the motion was put, that in view of this fact. the carpenters who signed the agreement resc'nd all former ac- ion. Not a voice peeped mo-" Then matters took another turn. The con- tractors of the city stated they would sorm an association and would agree 70 pay sixty cents an hour scale. Fol lowing the carpenters meeting the various contractors took steps toward 'orming a real association.
 George c. Burford, chairman of the committee to consult businessmen and mining men with reference to the car penters' situation. said at the meeting hat the mining men were willing to support the carpenters of Juneau who were good workmen. and would pay ,op-notch wages, and did not intend to cut prices where the work would stand all tests, but they did object to having to pay s6OO a day for carpen- ters' helpers.
 The carpenters who signed a paper for local organization voted against unionizing, many declaring they did not know that it was union being formed.

AUTOMOBILE FATALITIES

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.-ls the deadiiness of the automobile .ncreas- ing or decreasing?
 This question seems to be answered in very conclusive manner by the Bureau Of the Census. in making pub lie some preliminary mortality statis- ties for the year 1914. which indicate that during the five years from 1909 Co 1914 the number of automobiles in use in the Uuited States increased more than twice as rapidly as the number of fatalities caused by them.
 At the close Of 1909 according to figures compiled by the National Au- tomobue Congress. of New York C.ty. from state registration reports. due allowance being made for duplicate registratons. the number of automo- piles in use In the United States was approximately 100000; by the close of 1913 it had risen to 1,270.0OO; and year later. at the end Of the year i9lf. it was 1.750O0O.
 In the meantime the number of deaths due to automobile accidents and injuries increased from 632 in the death-registration area in 1909. con- taining 65 percent of the population of Che United States. to 2.623 in the same area in 1914; and the increase from 1913 to 1914. for the registration area as constituted In 1913, then con taining 65 percent Of the population Of the country. was from PASS to 2.7s0.

told Bill Pogue, sitting before her,
what the confession had cost her.
That's why | didn't want to say
