Death Of Sixty-Year-Old
Woman Given Maximum
Sentence For Reckless
Driving.

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 23.-Mathias

which struck Mrs. Agata H. Adam,
so, Monday afternoon and caused
her death in st. Johns hospital at
$3.50 last night was sentenced to
three months in the county Jail and

he was adjudged guilty of reckless
driving of an automobile by Judge
Leigh J. Monson in Fargo police
court yesterday afternoon. KEN
mer began began serving his SEN
tence yesterday. AL Eggert, owner
of the car and an occupant OF IT at
the time of the accident, was not
held by the police.
Mrs. Aldahl was hit when she
was crossing First avenue south,
near the corner of Eighth street.
The car carried her nearly 40 feet
before throwing her to the pave
ment. She was unconscious when
picked up by witnesses. No hope
was given for her recovery.
When arraigned in police court
yesterday morning on charge OF
reckless driving Kemmer said ne
was just learning to run a car and
had only driven machine once be-
fore. He was employed at the Sim
clair filling station on the corner
of Eighth street and First avenue
south and had filed the car for Mr..
Eggert at the filling station, when
he asked if he might drive it. Mr..
Eggert did not object, the lad de-
clared, so took the wheel. He had
driven around the block once and
was coming back to the filing sta
ton when he hit the woman. His
companion called his attention to
the woman, he said, and when he
reached for his brake his foot
struck the gas accelerator.
II don't know how the car was
stopped" he said. Il guess Mr.. Eg-
CERT did it. As soon as it stopped

Judge Monson in pronouncing
the sentence said he believed the
case an accident, pure and sim.
ple,' but that there was no doubt
as to the recklessness of the youne
| man undertaking to drive the cal
| thru crowded street when he was
not an experienced driver AS an
\ example to other youths of the
"itv he imposed the maximum sen
teHce, three months in the county
Jail and fine of 500.

the. fact that an air gauge was

D. G. RETURNS
OF CENSUS IN
Cincinnati Completed Work
Here Monday Precipitat-
ing Race.

Final census returns from the
District of Columbia were made
yesterday morning. Washington be-
ing the second city to finish. First
honors go to Cincinnati. Ohio. The
last portfolios from Cincinnati were
received Monday. but announcement
of the fact was not made until
yesterday. For a short time local
officials were jubilant in the belief
that they had beaten all rivals.
Supervisor Robert T.. Mattingly
was quick to point out that real
honors should go to the city whose
population is the first to be an
nounced. I'VE have made every
effort to include all residents of
the District in the census. and our
schedules have been prepared with
absolute thoroughness and accu-
racy. I am confident that Wash
ington's population will be an
nounced before that of Cincinnati"
he said.
Census officials stated yesterday
that the number of errors discov-
cred by the tabulators would de-
termine the order of announcement
of the population of the two cities.
Supervisor MattinSly is confident
him contain no serious errors. On
the other hand. census officials as
sert that William A. Hopkins.
census supervisor OF Cincinnati, is
an unusually competent official and
that they would be surprised to de-
tect many errors in his returns.
Washington has the better chance
OF being the first to have its figures
announced. Cincinnati has more
districts than Washington. Though
Cincinnati was the first city to
finish, the bulk of its portfolios
came at the last whereas the bulk
of the returns from the District
have been in for ten :, Addi-
tional information can aimed
here with less loss than
would be required to ., lil the
same data from Cincinnati.
Unless an unusual number of err
rOrs are discovered the populations
of both cities will be announced
within n week.
This Is the first time that WASH
ington has ever failed to be the
first city to complete it's census. In
1910 Cincinnati was second.

These systemic irregularities may
not be of marked severity or of
long duration, but each has a di-
