DR.. r. S. witt, coroner Of st. Louis
lays claim for that city to the title
''The Safest Big City In America" on
the strength of a report which shows
that in 1919 with a population of
92a.O st, Louis had fewer coroner's
ihquests than in 1901, when its popu-
lation was only 100000 and that in
dustrial fatalities were reduced from
11e In 1917 to AZ in 1919. A COM
parative chart of coroner's inquests re-
.veals the fact that inquests in st. Louis
jumped from 1900 in 1906 to 1000 In
1917 and that in the next twp. years
they dropped to 1.4oo as a direct re-
suit. the coroner says, of the, safety
campaign inaugurated at st. Louis
during the 1913 safety congress and
continued since then.
