Bad Order Cars Increase.

An increase OF 1882 was noted in the
total of bad order freight cars on the
country's lines as of August Is. The
total stood at 335.575. representing 1i.s
per cent. of the total cars on line in
need OF repair. The comparison is with
July /. the date OF the start OF the
shipments strike. That the Eastern
lines have rnade progress in the reha-
Utilization Of their rolling stock is indi-
Gated by the fact that there were 1884
fewer bad order cars in this section on
August 10 than on July !. Other dis
tricts reported small increases in the
percentage of unservicable equipment.

Car That Killed Women.

Following . slender clew, Mayor
Shank and city detectives motored to
Terre Haute and Sullivan Sunday in
their investigation of the killing of
Miss Josephine Herman and Mrs.
Dolly Mitchell by auto speeders last
week.
"A citizen told us he was positive
he knew the number OF one Of the
cars which struck the women"
Shank said. I'VE traced it through
the Secretary OF States office, but
found in Terre Haute and Sullivan
that the number was not the right
one. The car it was on couldn't
have been one of those involved in
the tragedy"
Plans for a safety zone guard. de-
signed to shunt wild automobiles
away from the zones, have been com
pleted by City Engineer John L.
Elliott. A set will be installed at
Alabama and Washington SITS, some
time this week. Shank announced.
