1907 Killed In
Year In Autos

Cross crossings cautiousyl!

CfOSS CROSSINGS CAUTIOUSLY!
That is the slogan adopted for the
Careful Crossing Campaign, which
begins June l and ends September
80.
During that period the American
Railway Association wants to edu-
cate the public to think and act
safety first. Backing the cam
paign are the United States Automo-
bile Chamber of Commerce, the Ma
tional Highway Traffic Association,
the Nationa lSafety Conucil, and
nmerous other organizations.
Tremendous increases in the num-
Der of fatal accidents at railroad
crossings, in most Of which antomo-
biles were involved, brought about
the campaign of education.
Since 1890, statisticians of the
American Railway Association point
out, the population of the country
has increased 6S per cent, while
crossing accidents have increased 345
per cent in fatalities and 652 per
cent in injuries!
The United States Bureau of
Standards has not yet announced the
figures for 1921. But in 1920 auto
mobiles were involved in 76 per
cent of all crossing accidents. Per-
sons killed death resulting in "a
hours) totaled 1871, while SOFT were
injured, 116 of the latter dying sub
sequently, a total of 1907 deaths.
Here are the figures for automo-
bile accidents at crossings:

OBRECON SENDS

NEW YORK, May 31.-Adolfo de
la Huerta, secretary of the treasury
of Mexico, today expected to begin
informal conferences with the mem
bers of his delegation prior to formal
meetings starting Friday to consider
the Mexican debt and its relations
to international finance.
The payment of $6,000,000 by the
American oil. producers to the Mex
lean government on oil taxes within
the month has maed the clearance of

clare total elimination of crossings

clare total elimination of crossings
is impossible.
There are 251, ,939 highway cross
ings in the country. OF this num-
Der only SO were eliminated in one
year. Each elimination cost $50,000,
making the cost of eliminating all
crossings $12,5O0,O0O,00O.
The association pledges co-opera-
tion by the railroads in keeping
crossings in good condition for
travel, giving reasonable notice Of
the existence of crossings, and see
ing to it that fiagmen do their full
duty in warning Of the approach of
trains.
The value of safety first CAIN
paigns is shown, railroad officials
say, by the reduction in deaths from
accident among employees from 1854
in 1907 to 2478 in 1870.
Safety engineers urge automobile
drivers to form the habit of shifting
gears into low speed at all crossings.
This practice causes drivers i'm
stinctively to pause at crossings, and
also reduces to a minimum the risk
of stalling on the tracks.
Locally the Central of Georgia and
Seaboard both are cooperating in
the campaign.

Charges

WASHINGTON, May 81. - The
charges made against Secretary
Hoover in the senate last week by
Senator Thos. E. Watson, of Geor-

tween Watson and Senator Lenroot,

the Georgian was admonished by

lation Of the senate rules as to the
use of language in the chamber.
The tilt was precipitated when

COLUMBUS, May 31.-The mid
night mar3ders have served notice to
chief of county police, Mitch Huling,
through j. B. Key, chairman of the
county commissioners, that he too
must leave Columbus.
Mr.. Huling admitted to reporter
that such letter had been received,
but said that he preferred not to
give the matter publicity and that
all he had to say, was that ''he lived
at 531 Twenty-eighth street" and
that they would have no trouble in To-
eating his home when they got ready
to blow it up. He stated further
that he had made all of his arrange
ments to live in Columbus, and that
he had no idea of leaving any time
soon.
While the exact wording of the let
ter is not known, it is understood
that it was addressed to Mr.. Key, and
that it stated that "they" had moth
ing against Mr.. Key personally, ex-
cept that he had employed Mr.. HUI
ing; that he must leave Columbus,
and that unless he did so that the
HuIing home would be blown up.
1t would appear from the forego-
ing that the "bombers" are still on
the job, and they contemplate further
strong arm efforts to rid the city of
ell law and order.
No Arrests Made.
No arrests have been made in con-
nection with the bombing of Mayor
Dimon's home, and no information
is being given out, and it is not
known what clues, if any, have been
secured.
All city officials, however, eX.
press themselves as being determi'l
ed to run the criminals down, and
they are being given every assist
ance possible by the county authntl-
ties. 1t is stated that both the city
and couny authorities are on the alert
and following up every possible clue.
Although it is known that persist
ent efforts are being made to run
down those responsible for recent
threatening letters to the mayor and
other city officials and for the bomb
ing Of the mayors home last Sunday
morning a week ago under cover of
darkness at / o'clock, the police state
that nothing of a definite character
in the way of a clue has been estab-
lished.
Receipt of anonymous, threatening
letters by Capt. Mitch Huling, of the
county police force and by Deputy
Sheriff c. C. Layfield, were new
manifestations of lawlessness that
have developed during the past "a
