Astounding" figures made public by the

formulate some sort Of Kellogg pact
to outlaw automobile traffic.
The press release, which was sent out
to the Washington newspapers without
comment, read as follows:
Grim viSaged war reaped toll OF
i02 Washingtonians during the 19
months we engaged in the World War.
These were battle deaths and deaths
from wounds. The monthly average
was 5.4. Twenty officers were killed in
action and six died Of wounds. Fifty
nine enlisted men were killed in action
and II died of wounds.
LAS a destroyer of life, the automo-
bile is more efficient by far, as is shown
by the District Of Columbia Health De-
partment'S report. In 1928, the astound-
ing number of us Washingtonians were
killed by motor vehicles. The average
monthly harvest was 90, as compared
to the 5.4 credited to the goa Of war"
Inquiry at the War Department
elected the information that figures
showing the war casualties and auto
mobile casualties in each State were
being sent to all the Army corps areas,
so that similar press releases might be
issued all over the country, giving the
comparison between the horrors of war
and of automobile traffic in every State.

trying to show to the people of the
Nation that the deaths In war were not
as many as those in automobile acct
dents in peace time.

automobiles are becoming terrific" said
one officer. when you look at these
figures, war does not seem to be such

hearers to disregard the provisions of
the censorship act.

FIND BLOOD STAINS
IN DOUBLE KILLING
Travelling Companion of Two
Slain Brothers Unable to
Explain Spots.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
MUSKOGEE, Okla, April 30.-Alleged
blood spots found on a coat worn by
john w. Wike, one of two travelling
COMPANIONS of George and David Smith,
Connecticut capitalists, today added
more mystery to the Staying of the
Smiths here Saturday night in a hotel.
Conn, and P. G. Seeley of Washington,
Conn, the fourth member of the auto
mobile party whose visit to Oklahoma
ended in tragedy, are to be given pre-
liminary hearings today on charges Of
murder. Both deny any implication in
the Sayings, asserting the Smiths. who
were brothers, were shot by two robbers
who fought with the victims in their
hotel room.
Warnings Not Needed.
Reports from Connecticut that George
Smith, whose home was in Cornwell,
Conn, and David Smith, Nho lived in
Sharon, had been warned against GER
tain hard characters" in Oklahoma
today added another new phase to the
investigation.
Wike, Connecticut dispatches revealed,
had attempted to dissuade the Smiths
from making the trip because of these
characters" and had said that mo
one could tell what they might do to
a fellow"
Announcing that they sought more
information concerning the warning,
police were attempting to check all
persons with whom the brothers had
come in contact during the trip.
States investigators last night said
that three spots found en- Wilkes coat
had been declared by chemist to have
been made by human blood.
Unable to Explain Spots.
Wike told Philip K. Oldham, assistant
county attorney, he was unable to ac-
count for the spots, which were on the
back of the coat, :Iear the shoulder.
Officers were particularly interested
in the alleged bloodstains because they
said Wike previously had denied being
in the room when the brothers were
slain. Investigators believed the blood
came from a wound in David Smiths
throat. They said they were seeking
to determine how the coat could be
stained If Wike was in another room.
Wike has commended, officers have
revealed, that he was in an adjoining
room when the Smiths were slain. The
brothers occupied adjoining rooms. with
a connecting door, and Wilkes story,
which investigators have been unable
to shake, is that he was in one of these
rooms, with the Smiths, when the two
men entered.
Desperate Fight Follows.
A desperate fight started when the
two unknown men appeared, Wike said,
and the four fought their way into the
adjoining room, where he heard shots.
Then the two intruders came back to
the room where Wike had remained
bound and gagged him, robbed him of
a small amount of money and carried
him into the room where the dead
brothers lay.
The Smith brothers were travelling
through Oklahoma investigating mort
cages of the now defunct New Milford
Security Co. Of Connecticut.

GRAVELy VERDICT
Declares Detective Must
Face Grand Jury on As
sauIt Charge.

Decision to disregard Police Court
action generating Spottswood F.
Gravely, suspended third precinct
policeman, of charge of assaulting
James Crotts and to present the case
to the grand jury was announced today
by United States Attorney Leo. A,
Rover. Witnesses will be summoned
for next Tuesday, Rover declared.
Judge Robert E. Mattingly in Police
Court yesterday ruled that "the law
justifies the shooting in this case.
There was reasonable, probable cause
for belief that felony had been COM
mitted and these men or one of them
was fleeing from the scene"
Crotts Silver Spring carnival show
man, was shot down by Gravely when
he attempted to leave the scene after
Rose Marie Foster. occupant of an
apartment house in the 1900 block of
First street, had informed Gravely that
Crotts, Ardie G. Swortzel, a suspended
fourth precinct policeman, and John G.
Elgin had attempted to extort money
from her. The three men are under in
! dictment on the extortion charge.
Rovers action followed hard on the
heels of an announcement by Supt. or
Police Pratt that Gravely would be
brought before the Police Trial Board on
charges growing out of the shooting,
Pratt taking the stand that the Police
Court exoneration did not have any
bearing on the trial board case.
! The case was to have been heard to-
day, but was continued until Saturday
| morning.
Maj Pratt declared it would be DOS
sible for the trial board to find that
Gravely had violated police regulations,
even though he had committed no GRIM
inal offense. He added, however, the trial
board undoubtedly would take into con-
sideration the fact that the detective
had been exonerated in Police Court.
Gravely entered a plea Of not guilty
