AUTOMOBILES KILLED II
IN THIS STATE YESTERDAY

TRENTON, May ga mad de-
sire on the part of automobile driv-
ers to ascertain just how fast their
cars can go, was probably the cause
of numerous accidents on New Jer-
sey highways yesterday. A total
of eleven lives were claimed accord
ing to State Motor Vehicle Commits
sioner William L. Dill here today.
He stated that seventy-five per
cent of the total number of accl-
dents in this state are caused by ex-
cessive speeding. So far as known,
none of the fatalities were the re-
suit of using intoxicating liquors.
The commissioner stated that a
rigid enforcement of the motor
laws in the larger cities seems, to
have no influence on the drivers.
