TOXIC, Jan. 1.-The advance
guard of Japanese troops moving
on Chinchow, Manchuria, reached
the falling river today to encounter
the last remnants of Chinese de-
tenders.
Although expecting heavy fight,
General Jiro Tamon, commander OF
the Japanese brigade, apparently

still held by the Chinese.
Conflicting reports were received
here as to the leaving of Chinchow
by Chinese troops under Marshal
Chang Hsueh-Liang, but it was be-
lieved Tamon would enter the city
without trouble.

Happy New Year, Mr.. President"
The custom was begun by the sec
ond President, John Adams, and
his wife Abigail, and has been a
White House tradition ever since.
Possibly five hours will elapse
before the last patriot has been
satisfied and the HooverS may re-
tire with impunity. In that time,
they viii shake perhaps as many
as 5000 hands.
The order of precedence in the
official morning reception is along
lines of long established prece-
dent. The only innovation this
year will be the ranking of those
who wear the congressional medal
of honor. They viii enter the
White House ahead of al<the beg
wigs of the army and nAy.

ITS Traffic Fatalities |
CHASTITY Record of Last
Twelve Months.

Residents of Marion county-mo-
florists and pedestrians, alike-today
began new year with the blame
of a record of 176 traffic deaths in
the last twelve months resting heaV-
lily on their shoulders.
New Year resolutions will mean
nothing and efforts of newspapers,
police and some citizens meant
nothing during the last year, when
every available resource was called
into the battle to block the appall-
ing rise in auto deaths.
The latter part of the year the
auto death rate was terrific. In four
days, less than a month ago, six
persons were killed by automobiles.
No blame can be placed on Off
Gals for the increase in the death
rate during 1881.
Responsibility Is Placed
But responsibility can be placed
city officials say.
1t rests with the reckless and
drunken motoriSt; the speeding mo-
toriSt, and the one who thinks traf-
fic signs, preferential streets and po-
lice orders merely are decorative and
do not apply to him or her.
And pedestrians must take much
OF the responsibility. Jay walkers
who skip across the street in heavy
traffic and then chuckle because
they made it," are dangerous.
Many of them haven't made it" re-
Gently.
Persons who persist in running
against traffic signs at intersections
are as liable as the reckless or
drunken motorist.
Some accidents actually are I'M
avoldable. But this number is so
small among the hundreds which
occur during a years time on city
streets and county roads that it al
most is neglible.
Traced to their source, practically
all collisions which result in prop
erty damage, personal injury or
death are caused by carelessness or
"%AA IA AAoA CO al u VI OllG law Oy Pc
oeStrlan or motorist.
Drivers to Blame
Courts have co-operated with
police in enforcing the laws to halt
accidents and the death toll. But
this has not aided the situation.
Men, women and children have
been struck down on streets and
others have been injured and killed
while riding in automobiles, which
were the targets of unheeding driv-
ers.
Most fragrant defenders of the
decade are hit-and-run motorists.
They fell their victims, perhaps stop,
and then flee. Many of them are
not caught.
This may be because police are not
sufficiently active, but many times
it is due to failure of witnesses to
obtain license numbers or accurate
descriptions of the vampire car and
its pilot.

environs can not be proud, That
point will not be recorded in boost
er pamphlets circulated in the state

which to be ashamed.
During the first nine months of
1881 the Indiana death toll from
accidents was 325. Now it is nearly
400. In addition, 1,640 persons
were injured in that period. That
figure, too, has been boosted the

number of accidents recorded by the

The inclement weather did not
daunt Mister 1892.
The unhappy mien of the grizzled
old veteran did not daunt him.
He celebrated. From the bedtime

the milkman's hour this morning
he still was stepping and stepping

A series of automobile accidents
were discordant votes in the swan

Four blind tigers were raided dur

Householder Fires Through Door.
But ProwIer Escapes.

One burglar won't wait for next
December to make New Years
resolution, if he was taught any
thing by his brush with Matthew
Ghensde, $50 Greer street, early to-
day.
The prcwler, or maybe it was
last years drunk trying to find his
1882 home, attempted to force open
the front door of Ghensde's home.
Ghensde shot at the prowler
through the door. The door was
riddled by bullets, but the intruder
escaped unframed.
