Reckless Driving Caused Most OF

Boulevard in Month.

BALTIMORE, June Especially -
Reckless driving was responsible for all
but four of the 40 automobile accidents
which occurred on the Washington
Baltimore boulevard during 1927. ac-
cording to records of the State roads
commission
The four accidents in which construc-
ton of the road Is involved, occurred at
the narrow concrete bridge spanning
Deep Run, in Howard County.
The bridge is situated at the foot Of
an incline and Is several feet narrower
than the roadbed 1t is protected on
either side with low head walls. allow

passing vehicles with but few feet
to spare.
One accident at this point resulted
in the death OF man and serious In
Jury TO three others There has been
but one serious accident reported from
this point since January /, 1923, ac-
cording to the records. Steps to secure
rights of way for widening this bridge
and raising the head walls by the COM
mission are expected practically to
eliminate danger there.
The only other point on the boule-
ward where several accidents occurred
is at the intersection of the highway
with Guilford road, several miles from
Deep Run bridge. At this point five
accidents were reported.
Engineers of the commission have
been unable to place any blame for
these accidents upon the construction Of
the highways. Guilford road crosses
the boulevard at the foot of steep
incline, with filling stations and sign

In the 40 accidents last year, five
persons were killed and so were injured
These accidents occurred while there
was an average of 1000 machines pass
ing over the highway daily. During
1926. when the average was less than
5000, there were so accidents, result
ing in six fatalities.

The operators have invited the

controversy, which has crippled the

Chairman Edward Fisher of the

stove left burning after the family
had retired. Becoming dissatisfied
recently with that theory, the bodies
were exhumed last Tuesday. Bullet

London, July 6 IP)-Mystery in

cier who fell from his Fokker plane

started to find the body.
Captain Roland Drew. pilot of the

where Loewenstein might have
fallen after opening-either acct
dentally or purposely-a door lead

The plane was flying at height
of about 1000 feet at the time, Drew
said, and there was considerable
chance the body might have been
smashed but the pilot today planned
to hire the Dover Harbor board tug
and make a search for the body.
| The search will be near the spot
where Drew believes the financier to
have so dramatically brought an end
to career that had been dramatic.
Search For Body

unofficially decided Loewenstein's
death was suicide, NJ. Lauter,

SIX MILLIONS TO
| Be spent BY fall
Two Parties to Expend Three
Million Each

Washington. July 6 UP)-Dcmo-
cratic and republican leaders have
agreed tentatively to spend approx
mately 100000 each in the
Smith Robinson and Hoover Curtis
campaigns. and to limit campaign
contributions to $4,000 per con-
tributor, according 10 information
given the United Press today by Il
prominent senator.
These arrangements, made after
careful separate surveys of the
situation, have been communicated
quietly to the leaders on both sides
and the machinery for securing the
contributions will be started in a
few days.
Costs Three Million
Three million dollars is what it
! costs to run a campaign: you can't
do it for less the United Press in
/ formant said.
! There We're some secret inter-
party discussions of a $4,000 limit
on contributions, but this plan was
vetoed because it would require too
much work to obtain the necessary
money.
Both parties are planning care
fully to avoid any 100000 contri-
buttons such as Harry r. Sinclair
made in 1928 to the 1920 republi-
can deficit. 1t was feared earlier
that difficulty might be encountered
in obtaining contributions, due to
the furore caused by the Sinclair
disclosures. But the nominations OF
Smith and Hoover, both popular
figures with large followings OF
wealthy personal friends have
nearly eliminated that bugaboo.
Both parties entered the cam.
paign without a deficit. and expect
to collect enough money to pay
their way as they go. Every effor
will be made to prevent the usua
post-election deficits. Such deficit,
