The elimination of Dead Mans
c,,rve" on the Washing ton Baltimore
bouIeyard Is the only efficient way OF
dealing with this danger spot. wnlcn
proyed fatal to two persons and caused
the injury of others during the last
few days, In the opinion OF william

Automobile Club. Mr.. Ullman yester-
day afternoon drove out to Dead Mans
Curve and looked the situation over
carefully before coming to this con-
clusion.
Must Straighten the Road.
.sPlacing guards or signs at the curve
will not be sufficient" said Mr.. Ullman
today, The only way to deal with
and do away with the curve. l say
this after having watched the traffic
on the road yesterday. All the cam
paigns of education and fines for speed
ing, in my opinion. viii not prevent
accidents at this point.
.I saw many machines go up the
hill at the curve, and with the excep-
ton of one, which apparently was
operated by an automobile mechanic,
they all put on speed and rushed up
and keeping to the middle of the road.
1t was only luck that kept them from
serious accidents, for II other auto
mobiles had been coming from Balti-
more and had approached the curve at
the same time. nothing could have pre-
vented collisions.
No Liquor Question Involved.

terday. The machines were going from
Washington to Baltimore. and the driv-
ers appeared to be cold sober in every
thing except the reckless manner in
which they tackled that hill and curve.
But If the road Is not Strengthened
and men continue to drive automobiles
over this road to Washington after con-.
Stunning liquor in Baltimore, then there
will continue to be many accidents and
many deaths from these accidents.
Il believe. however. that fatal acci-
dents will continue entirely ontside of
the liquor question and that men who
have not had a drop of Intoxicating
uquor will be the victims"

MT. Ullman said that the traffic over

danger all the greater. Between 1900

the curve during day, he estimated
At times the traffic is really congested.
.Tt Is Just luck that more accidents
do not happen there" he said.
In Mr.. Ullman's opinion it would not
cost great deal to eliminate this curve

Fairplay, Colo.-Five hundred of
flock of 5000 sheep belonging to Har-
old Chambers of Hartzell were dead in
the pens Saturday morning when the
herders entered to care for them. Dur
ing the day about 500 more died, and
the evidence is that the animals were
poisoned Saturday night, after work
ing all day, the flock masters believed
they had overcome the epidemic and
will be able to save the others. Mr..
Chambers believes that the sheep
were poisoned. This Is the third loss
of the last two weeks. and has caused
considerable uneasiness. Friday night
Alma, small mining town near here,
was almost destroyed by fire. Two
weeks ago the haystacks at ranch
near this city were burned by fire
from a cigarette, and the owner be-
lieves the fire was started with intent
to destroy his hay and farm buildings.
These three losses are blamed upon
a coterie of l. w. w. here, especially
as the owner Of the farm property be-
lieves he has traced the destruction of
his hay to one of them.
