3.SOS PERSONS ARE
KILLED BY AUTOS
Census Figures Show Number OF Fa-
talities for 1919 - Traffic I'm
movement Necessary.

WASHINGTON. Dec. CA total OF
2. sos persons were killed in automobile
accidents, or died as a result OF lnJur-
los therefrom. during the last year, the
census bureau announced yesterday IN
IA statement offering suggestions tor trai-
tic. Improvement. An autonoDlle accl-
dent death rate of al out of every 100
600 of population was reported for 1919,
an increase over every year since Iolo,
when the rate was S.o, and an increase
of 145 i'm the total number of deaths over
| 1918
Each year it becomes more and more
| dangerous for person TO Walk the
| streets" the census bureaus statement
said. THE reason usually given. and
probably the correct one. is that the num-
I bepr of fant6ha0biIeS i'fh 1fse is constantly
| increasing How then shall this ever
| increasing danger be leSseneds The OBJ
viouS remedy is to improve constantly the
| traffic regulations to keep pace with the
| ever-increaSing number of automobiles.
! This call for better and better traffic
regulations is not a fanciful one. Every
one is familiar with the necessity for
slow and orderly progress when crowd
| energies from a circus tent and, similarly
| automobile traffic must be- slowed down
and controlled until it becomes safe. The
| 1919 rates for Kansas City, Mo. san
! Antonio and Cleveland all much lower
! than for 1913. furnish a ray of hope that
| we are finally waking up.
| Suggestions made by the bureau for
| traffic improvement follow -
| Erection at street crossings of curbed
4 safety islands. which. at the most dan
gerOus spots, should be very close to-
| gether.
Construction of additional crossings in
! the middle of blocks. where automobiles
| can approach from only two directions.
Demonstration of great skill in driy-
| ing each machine before granting a driv-
| er's license for that machine.
Reduction of the speed limit, especially
! at crossings.
Fine. revocation of license and impris-
onment, each to have its place as an ac-
tual penalty.
Youngstown. O.. heads the list of 66
cities in the automobile death rate with
$3.50 per 100000 but showed a decrease
from the previous year when the rate
was 31.9. Richmond, Va, had the low
est rate with %, but showed a slight in
crease over 1918. when it was 4.
New York had the largest total num-
Der of deaths with $50, an increase of
80 over the previous year and more than
double the number in 1915. .#
New York s automobile death rate was
40 per 100000 persons.
Cmcagos total deaths numbered 32S
123.
Statistics for other cities OF 100000 or
more population follows:--
Buffalo 6S, decrease -. rate 1876:

do about it. On the other hand, the par
ticular problem before the President, as
seen by friends of the league, IS that I'M

before that body. 1t is suggested, for eX-
ample, that it would be difficult for Mr..
Harding to send the treaty to the SEN

powers for, changes Also, the view IS IS
responsibility for the failure to ratify
the treaty would rest upon the senate if
he sent the document to the. upper house
with his own suggestions that changes
could be made 10 satisfy criticisms made
heretofores
Indeed it would occasion no surprise
If Mr. Wilson realizing his defeat at
| the last election, would at last make
compromise suggestion and leave 1T TO
the Republican senate, to approve or re
jeCt. but furnishing at any rate a. basis
for a continuance of the discussion. The
Republicans themselves would prefer
that Mr. Wilson forget about the treaty
and keep it in a pigeonhole until Senator
Harding gets inside the White House and

Ling his files They are fearful that the

the treasury department may be SAID to
reflect President Wilson views. namely,
that the credit of the United States, is
already in such strained condition that
to extend loans to any one class would
only start a general demand for relief,
which would weaken the government
purse and force down the price of Liberty
bonds and other obligations.
Much of the trouble Is due to the fact
that while the people voted IN Novem-
Der to turn the Democratic administers
ton out of power, the new adminlstra.,,
ton does not quite come into office until
three months have passed, and probably
will not get familiar with the problems
in hand for another two months after
that. Meanwhile, American business sui
fers all sorts of tears and nervousness.
This shaky condition Of the economic
world will compel confel cnces between
the Wilson and Harding administrations,
and between Republican and Democratie
leaders. Most officials are optimistic
about the future and attribute the entire
business upset to the pans OF readIust-
ment and the difficulties of changing adj
ministrations in the midst Of recon-
struction program unparalleled IN Amerl-
can history.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6-The gap in
government between the Wilson and
Harding administrations will be blidged,
Senator Harding will call at the White
House to pay his respects. Conferences
between members Of the future cabinet
and the present executives of the differ
ent government Departments will come
subsequent to the announcement of new
cabinet personnel. The response of Re
publican as we'll as Democratic editors to
the suggestions of close cooperation be-
tween the outgoing and incoming admin
istIations for the. best interests of the
whole country has been almost unani-
mously favorable
President Wilson himself is said to be
ready to tell Senator Harding all the
facts of foreign relations as they have
been conveyed to him so that in mapping
out his own foreign policy the president
elect shall have the benefit of the latest
information co1cernng the true attitude
OF foreign governments.
The President is being urged, more
over, TO send the treaty Of Versailles
back 10 the senate. 1t is true that the
senate once adopted Il resolution saying
it could not be ratified III its present
form, hut the subsequent happenings at
Geneva have altered the whole face Of
things. The unanimous Interpretation

bis of the league that Article TO did not

HAHOOD ADDRESSES
CONTINUE ALL WEEK

Last night at the First Methodist
church large and appreciative au-
dience listened to the searching ad-
dress of DR.. J. w. Mahood on the
topic, '.In Prison"
DIR. Mahood chose for his text the
words OF Jesus, Il was In prison, and
ys came unto me-" and by direct dis
ceurse impressed upon his hearers
that Jesus wants all protesting Chris
fians TO 80 TO the souls imprisoned by
nDpetites and passions and bring them
the blessed gospel of freedom. He
enumerated various kinds Of prisons
in which human souls were confined.
There is the prison of appetite for
strong drink. Thousands are bound
in this prison and are absolutely help
less In its grip, but the gospel of the
Son of God can set the mfree and give
them strength to conquer. The Son
OF God is a sure cure for the drink
habit.
He referred to the prison of gamb-
ling which holds so many bound. He
said. THE United States is fast be-
coming Il nation of gamblers" The
gambling spirit manifests itself in the
business world in various schemes of
chance used to stimulate sales. Even
In some churches questionable prac-
tees have crept in. He condemned as
OF the devil church fairs and bazaars
where chances are sold or rafting
indulged In. lie blamed church mem
berB Tor playing cards ana teaching
their children to play and thereby
starting the mdown to gamblers
he'll.
The prison of lust Is holding thou
sands OF precious souls. He held the
modern dance accountable for filling
this prison. He said THE evil force
in the world today especially the
high school dance" and warned the
Christian people 10 fight against 1t
with all their powers.
And another prison which held
many was that Of worldliness--the de
sire on the part OF church members
TO partake OF the same enjoyments as
the worldly people. All OF these pris-
ons held souls so bound as to destroy
spiritual life. None found in thesY
prisons can be filled with the Holy
Spirit and without the Holy Spirit
there IN no power, But God has pro-
vided way OF escape. for Jesus
Christ can remove the letters from
every soul that will trust him. And
send him forth with a song and the
power Of the Holy Spirit
DIR. Mahood will continue his heart
searching messages every night this
week at 7;30 O'Clock except Saturday

rection OF DIR. Aldrich. will render
inspiring music and everybody is wei
