ROAD CROSSING
DANGERS TO
PASS

A definite and defensible program
81 highway grade crossing elimina-
ticn and protection Is outlined in a
brief filed this week by the Amer
ican Motorists Association with the
Interstate Commerce Commission
and in letters sent to the highway
departments OF the As States.
The association in its brief RECON-
nends that the Federal and State
governments undertake a compre-
hensive study of traffic conditions
q, all grade crossings with a view
to classifying such crossings in
respect to their danger to life and
their relation to loss of time to the
travelling public. Where it is found
impossible to abolish grade cross
ings, the association recomme Is
that uniform safety appliances be
installed.
Railroad companies. motorists and
the general public all have proper
interest in preventing loss of life and
personal injuries at highway grade
crossings" says the brief, "and in
proportion that each contributes to
the danger and that each will be
benefited by the elimination of such
danger they should share the great
costs involved"
Deaths ON Gain
The associations brief takes into
consideration the progress that has
been made in grade crossing elimi.
nation and protection.
Notwithstanding this progress,
however, the number of fatalities re-
sulting from grade crossing acci-
dents continues to increase" 1t
states.
''For example, during the first
nine months of 1928. 1,745 persons
were killed in highway grade cross
ing accidents, as compared with ] ,654
fatalities for the corresponding Pc
Rod of 1927. In addition to this, dur.
ing the period from January to Sep
TENDER, 1928, 1888 persons were in
iured as a result of such accidents,
as compared with 4.507 for the same
nine months period of 1927.
After the necessary data are col
lected. the association brief recon.
mends:
1. Adoption of a program provid'
ing for the gradual elimination OF
those grade crossings that are most
dangerous to life and responsible
for greatest losses of time to the
travelling public.
2. Adoption of a plan for the in
stallation of standardized. modern
protective equipment at crossings
which cannot be abolished.
Will Meet Problem
3. Formulation of a plan for al
locating costs of elimination and
protection of crossings between rail
road companies and the general pub
lie.
4. Adherence to a general rule
whereby States will not grant au
thority to railroad companies tc
create new grade crossings IL some
other solution can be found.
'tIf program of grade-crossinR
elimination and protection is formu
lated, based upon an economic study
OF actual conditions and, having re
gard for proper distribution of costs
1t will not only meet all present cb
jections, but will greatly speed UT

Gross Hospital from wounds inflicted
upon him at his apartment in what po-
lice were told by his widow was an in
surance plot which embraced, also, the
Staying of Mrs. Samuel H. Dorr, wife OF
Mrs. O'Briens sweetheart.
Mrs. OBrien and Dorr were arrested
Immediately after the shooting and
both attempted to shoulder the blame.
A number of conflicting statements
were made by the pair. but police gave
most credence to confession by Mrs.
O'Brien that she and Dorr planned to
kill their respective mates and flee with
funds from a $4,000 policy Dorr, an
insurance man, recently sold the victim.
According to information to police,
Dorr also. attempted to write $4,000
policy for OBrien few days before
the shooting.
Dorr in a statement said he was in
Mrs. O'Brien's room when the victim
returned home Wednesday night.
II shot at him as he entered the
bedroom" Dorr said. He dashed into
the hall and ran down the stairs as
fired at him again. fired four shots"
Dorr denied he was motivated by
hopes of obtaining the insurance money
or that he planned to kill his own wife.
He said he shot O'Brien for abusing
Mrs O'Brien, with whom Dorr said he
had been intimate for several months.
"Dorr told me he could not endure
my feeling SO" Mrs. O'Brien said He
said L guess I'll have to kill them both
and get the insurance
Donald O'Brien, the slain mans
father, added that Dorr had been per-
sistent in attempting to have the victim
take additional insurance with Mrs.
O'Brien as beneficiary.
Mrs. Dorr, the mother of two chill
dren ran into the O'Brien apartment
when she heard the shots It was her
first knowledge that her husband was
unfaithful, she said. Mrs. O'Brien said
she at first decided to take the blame
for the shooting, after a hasty confer
ence with Dorr and Mrs. Dorr. They
believed, she said, that she could tell
story of cruelty and be acquitted.
