Lone Driver Serves Term on
Farm, Pays Fine of
$1OO.
BY ARCH STEINEL
Times staff Writer

When death becomes bookmaker
for car drivers of indianapolis, it
offers 4 to 1 odds against the driver
of the automotive scythe being ar
rested and SO to 1 odds that he
won't serve a prison sentence.
Simplified, into statistics OF the
city and county for 1888, it means
that only one person was sentenced
in criminal court and served that
sentence in connection with an auto
fatality.
Marion county had 131. auto
deaths in 1888 and yet but thirty
three persons we're arrested on
charges in connection with those
accidents.
One year on the state farm and
a 500 fine with costs was the most
severe sentence meted out to a
driver of a death car in the past
year.
One Sentence Suspended
Two men received that sentence
in criminal court and but one OF
those men served the sentence. A
suspension gained leniency for the
other.
Two cases, one involving, failure
to stop and the other murder in
commission of robbery, still are
pending. The murder count re-
suited in the death of George
Hughes, July /, 1888, when it is al
legged his auto was boarded by an
alleged bandit and his car swerved
striking a utility pole and killing

ers behind bars.
unavoidable" is the one word
that gives quick pardon from liabil-
ity in the auto tragedies of the past
year.
Accident Costs Listed
Approximately 100 of the fatal &C
cidents are checked up to that word
or the blame is spread to include
the drivers of both cars in the case
of a collision or both the pedestrian
and driver.
Each fatality by auto costs the
taxpayers of the city from $40 to
$50 for officials merely to go and re-
turn from the scene of the accident.
The cost for the coroner or his de-
puties to visit the accident scene is

Add to the cost of sending the

New York, Aug. 27 - (UP) = Traders ranks were depleted to- day by a vacation exodus, leaving those who remained to do mere routine business in stocks. Sales were about the same as the light session Friday and prices were irregularly lower.
 Commodies declined with stocks and United States government bonds softened. These movements did not correspond with the dlrec- tion of the dollar, which firmed Tn terms of foreign currencies. Such rise in the currency unit usually Is accompanied by weak commodities and strong markets for govern mentS.
 Wheat closed at losses ranging to more than 2 cents a bushel. Corn softened with it and closed down 15s to Is cents. Other grains were correspondingly weak. Selling came mostly from the east with one operator throwing large amounts of wheat on the market. Cotton. copper, hides. silk and sugar fixtures eased. Rubber gain ed few points.
 The feature in stocks was selling in Alaska Juneau which sold down to 1874 off l 4 points. Other gold miners dipped with it. Silver issues also met realizing with loss es of a point or more in U. B. Smelling and Howe Sound.
