Identity of Woman

Relatives and Friends of
Missing Girls Visit
MOrgue.

All last night and again this morn
ing anxious parents, brothers, sisters
and friends of missing girls filed
through the District Morgue in an
effort to identify the body of small
and attractive young woman who
leaped to her death in the Anacostia
River yesterday morning from Ben
ming Bridge. The body was recovered
shortly before noon.
The girl is described as between %
and % years old. Her brunette hair
is cut in long bob. She has brown
eyes, a dark skin and is only 5 feet
tall. weighing 108 pounds. The girl
was wearing blue and white dotted
dress and white shoes.
No one seems to have seen her be-
fore she ran onto the bridge about
7:30 am. yesterday. sobbing hyster-
ically. A construction foreman saw
her Chamber over a concrete railing.
He caught hold of her and. with the
aid of a workman, sat her back on
the sidewalk
The girl darted away and did not
hesitate when she climbed the railing
a second time. Once in the water,
she seemed to change her mind about
committing suicide. The girl had
struck the water fiat, however, and
appeared stunned. Despite this she
managed to keep afloat on the strong
current for some time.

AUTO DEATH RATE

ing to Census Bureau.
WASHINGTON IN 10Th
RANK IN FATALITIES
Survey Shows New York City Is
Safer Than D. c., With 1876
Per 100000 Population.

While its automobile death list is
considerably higher this year than 1t
was year ago, Washington, within a
period of four weeks, ending August
4, cut its appalling trafic death rate
in half.
For the 52-week period ending Au-
gust 4, the Capital had LOG deaths due
to automobile accidents within its own
borders. This was an average Of more
than two deaths a week. For the
-four-week period ending August 4
there we're three deaths, reducing the
weekly average to rs.
These figures are cleaned from a
summary Of mortality from automo-
bile accidents just issued by the Gen.
sus Bureau following compilation Of
reports from 86 cities.
d. C. 2sth Highest in Deaths,
The progress made in reducing It's
high traffic death rate is regarded as
particularly encouraging since Wash
ington has had the twenty-ninth
highest rate Of deaths per 100000
population. During the 52-week pc
riod used in the study, the Capital
had 2l.5 deaths for every 100000 per-
sons.
Lowest among the 81 cities which
have better traffic death rates than
Washington Is Indianapolis, which
this year had only "a automobile
deaths for every 100000 population.
The next lowest rates were at Sche-
nectady. N. Y, and New Bedford.

Among the cities which headed
Washington on the unenviable list
was Miami, Fla, which had 32.7

KISSING, "ONE-ARM" AUTOISTS
BRING CENSURE OF OBSERVERS

A verbal spanking has been mailed
from the Traffic Bureau to the Mary
land motorist who was reported by
secret observer" for kissing his girl
while driving in morning rush-hour
traffic on lower Pennsylvania avenue.
At least one other affectionate mo-
torist has been taken to task for one

several times in every block, the Traf-
flc Bureau was informed.
The motorist himself was not the
only one in danger. the observer said,
since his car swerved from its proper
lane toward other automobiles after
every kiss. Accompanying cars were
forced to dodge and stop suddenly
many times, it was charged.

LAWSUIT TO FIX
BANK LIABILITY
Assessment of 100 Per Cent
on Park Savings Stock
holders Faces Test.

The question of liability Of stock
holders in the Potomac Savings Bank
for an assessment of 100 per cent
will be tested in a case soon to be
filed in court by counsel for the re-
ceiver of the bank.
The defendant will be one OF q
group of stockholders owning ma
jority of the stock of the bank, who
are represented by Charles v. INLAY,
attorney.
The test case Is to take the place Of
what might be a multiplicity Of suits,
and is to be submitted as case in
law, to determine the liability. The
question has arisen, because the Po-
tomac Savings Bank was organized in
Virginia, whose laws do not enforce
double liability on shareholders In
State banks.
The receivers attorneys, Angus w.
Mclean and Charles z. Wainwright,
and the controller of the currency's
counsel, George P. Barse, it is under
stood, will contend that the control
ler's assessment for $4,000 against
the capital stock of this bank should
stand, because of legislation giving
the controller authority over local
banks.
It was predicted in legal circles
that the case Of Altman against the
Washington Loan & Trust Co., truS-
tee, concerning the liability of stock
holders in banks chartered outside Of
this city, but operating here. will be
brought into the argument.
Norman r. Hamilton, who is re-
ceiver for five local banks, including
the Potomac Savings Bank, yesterday
through counsel won default judg-
ments against seven persons who
owed notes totaling $15,81756 to the
District National Bank.

New Post Office Building
Electrical System Is
ParaIyzed by Bolt.

Scores of workmen today were
clearing the city of windfalls and
broken limbs after the heaviest thun-
derstorm in more than year dealt
Washington's trees a severe blow yes
terday afternoon.
Other damage was comparatively
light, although one of at least four
lightning bolts dropped on the city
during the height of the storm par
alyzed the electrical system in the
huge new Post ONCE Building.
The building plunged into semi
darkness and elevator service was
suspended for Is minutes.
The bolt struck 13,000-volt trans
former on the top floor in the south
east section of the building. Almost
normal service was quickly resumed.
Wind Hits 5s Miles.
Curiously enough, the torrential
rain which accompanied a 58-mile
wind flooded only three or four eel
lars in the city. the Sewer Depart
ment reported. Heavy Summer storms
in previous years have given con-
siderable trouble on this score.
The outlook today was for additional
showers this afternoon and probably
tonight and tomorrow, with little
change in temperature. The mercury
| shortly before noon today stood at the
comfortable level of rs degrees.
The wind struck hardest near
Thirty-fourth street between Prospect
| avenue and N street, where six big
trees were uprooted and huge limbs
torn from several others. The force
of the gale, which blew 48 miles an
hour for minutes. was felt generally
throughout the city.
The Districts once Of Trees and
Parking received at least go calls after
trees or big limbs were blown INTO the
! streets or onto automobiles and
houses. No injuries were reported
from these accidents.
100 Clear Away Debris.
The District had almost 100 work.

day afternoon and this morning.

axes. saws and cables.
The wind uprooted six big shade
trees around the rejecting pool at the
Lincoln Memorial, at least four others
around Hams Point and two in Du-
pont Circle, the United States park
police reported. Two other large wind
falls were cleared away at Twenty
second and P streets.
The lightning drilled a hole IN a
smokestack of the wilkins Coffee Co.
on Rhode Island avenue between Fifth
and Sixth streets northeast and set
fire to a Government-owned dwelling
! in the first block of Portland street
northeast Firemen extinguished the
! blaze after it had done considerable
damage
| Lightning also ripped a chimney
and part of the roof from house in
the 400 block of Oneida place. Fire
men put out flames started by the
bolt and covered the damaged roof
with tarpaulin.
Several power wires were blown
down, including one at Hardwood road
and Michigan avenue northeast, and
another in the 370O block of Ingomar
| street.
The storm was general over this
section. At Baltimore almost an inch
and a half of rain fell. although the
precipitation here was only fraction
over an inch, accompanied by hail in
scattered sections.

The safety campaign has been in

SILVER SPRING, Md, August 16.-
Grading for the extension that will
carry the East-West Highway over a
direct route from Sixteenth street
through Silver Spring, Takoma Park
and on toward Hyattsville was begun
here yesterday.
It Is expected that the road will be
completed by early November. giving
Montgomery County a modern high
way extending from Bethesda east
ward across the county to the inter-
section of the Agar-QueenS Chapel
road in Prince Georges County, which
continues on into Hyattsville.
Two Shovels at Work.
Two steam shovels began work yes
terday at the intersection Of Sixteenth
street and the East-West Highway
and are cutting down embankments
and making fills for the roadbed.
Several ravines are to be filled in
and it is expected the shovelS will
remain in operation about week.
The extension consists of number
of units totaling 2.40 miles in length
The first of these will run from
Sixteenth street. crossing the present
unit of the East-West Highway be-
tween Georgia avenue and Sixteenth
street and coming out upon Georgia
avenue at Falkland drive.
A new triple-span, steel and con-
crete bridge is to be built on Falkland
drive to carry the highway extension
over the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
tracks from where the new route will
be taken to Philadelphia avenue and
thence into Takoma Park.
Ethan Allen avenue will be employ
ed as a unit of the extension to take
traffic through Takoma Park and on
to Riggs and Agar roads in Prince
Georges County. From there the new
route will lead into the Agar Queen
Chapel road and on to Hyattsville.

Chart showing auto deaths in
Washington for 1884, compared
with the same period in 1888.
2s.3. Two Of California's cities we're
next on the list of cities with stag
gering traffic death rates. San Diego
had 28.3 deaths per 100000 and Los
Angeles had 282
New York City Safer
New York City is a considerably
safer city than Washington If its
rate of 15.5 deaths per 100000 pop
ulation is a fair basis for compari-
son. Chicago, on the other hand,
is less safe, for that city had o rate
of 26.8.
To look further into Washington
trafic death situation, the reason for
the recently expressed alarm over the
mounting fatalities is shown in the
census table that credits the Capital
with a total of 106 traff1c deaths for
the 52-week period ending August f.
During a similar period ending August
5, 1888, the Capital recorded Just 80
traffic deaths.
But, during the four-week period
ending August 4, Washington traffic
deaths totaled only 3. There were
deaths during similar period a
year ago.
Besides the 106 deaths caused by
traffic accidents within the District
itself, Washington records show that
so additional traffic deaths occurred
here due to accidents outside the city.
Likewise, while only three deaths re-
suited from accidents in town, during
the four weeks covered in the survey,
seven additional persons died here
after they were brought to Washing
ton from the scenes of accidents out
side the city.
S,706 Die in So Cities.
Nationally, the table shows that
In the 86 cities there was a total
Of 8,706 trafic deaths during the So
weeks ending August 4. OF these,
however, 6,919 resulted from acci-
dents in the cities themselves. Dur
ing the four weeks ending August 4
these cities reported SOC deaths, of
which 433 resulted from the cities
own accidents. Comparing these fig
ures with last years, an increase in
deaths is noted in each instance.
The S6 cities year ago had 1880
deaths, of which 6,221 were due to
city accidents. They had during the
1888 four weeks COL deaths. of which
459 resulted from city accidents.
In 1884 the 86 cities had 1875
deaths Of their own for every 100000
persons, and In 1888 they had 1877
deaths per 100000. Including deaths
resulting from accidents outside their
corporate limits, these cities had q
rate of 23.3 deaths per 100000 this
year, against 2I.l deaths per 100000
last year,
