CHICAGO, March 29.-Appalled
by the Nations automobile accident
deaths in 1934-the most ever record
ed and only 412 less than all Ameri-
can soldiers killed in battle during
the World War-State Legislatures
today were considering drastic meas
ures designed to reduce the mounting

Members of the A. E. F. officially
listed as killed in action totaled 35,-
e12. Deaths attributed to auto acci-
dents last year were listed by the Ma
tional Safety Council as $500, COM
pared with 3l,363 in 1888 and 33,675
in 1891, the previous peak year.
And so legislators, paced by the
Federal drive to eliminate highway
crossings as safety step, are moving
to conserve human life by bills en-
bracing licensing of drivers. increased
highway patrols, compulsory safety
features, speed limits, drivers respon-
sibility acts, uniform traffic signals
and governing operation of trucks.
More Licenses Imposed.
Eight States are considering, or
have just passed laws requiring
drivers to be licensed, with fees rang
ing from rs cents per individual to
so cents per family. They are Ar
kansas, North Carolina. Ohio, Texas,
Illinois, Tennessee, North Dakota
and Missouri. Laws of the latter two
States are particularly designed to
take the drunken, reckless and ply
sically handicapped driver of the
highways.
North Dakota, South Dakota and
Arkansas will create road patrols
with broad police powers. Connecti-
cut and North Carolina may increase

their highway forces, Florida may
establish State highway patrol when
its Legislature meets April 2.
Responsibility Fixed.
Utah just increased responsibility
of drivers in operating cars, in re-
porting accidents and in care of in
jured; Ohio has pending an act re-
quiring drivers, after having had an
accident, to post an insurance GER
tificate or other security with the
registrar of motor vehicles; New
Hampshire has bill to penalize un-
insured drivers in accidents by license
revocation unless able to show finan-
cial responsibility, and North Caro-
lima may require operators of for
hire cars to carry adequate surety

GIRL TOOK OWN
LIFE, BEDFORD
CORONER RULES
Three Friends of Dead Miss
Cleared, Face Minor
Charges.
By United Press

BV United Press
BEDFORD. Ind. July 12.-Fran-
/ ces Irene Prince, 15-year-old grade
school girl who left home two
months ago in search of more
good times" and was shot fatally
/ Sunday in a lovers lane" COM
mitted suicide, Coroner Roland E.
Wynne said today.
The coroner returned the suicide
verdict after four days Of question
ing failed to break down the stories
of three companions on the fatal
automobile ride.
The three companions, Glen Kin
Ger, 26; George Hale, Is, and Miss
Loretta Johnson, Is, had been sus-
pected of manufacturing the sui
eide story to save Kinder from
murder charge.
Bullet in Head Fatal
Frances died with bullet through
her head. Her friends said she had
shot herself while sitting in an AUTO
mobile in a shady quarry lane.
A skull fracture and evidence that
she had been beaten indicated a
murder, however. Chemical tests
showing gunpowder particles in the
pores of Kinder's hands and testi-
mony that he was terribly jealous"
of Frances served further to incrimi-
nate the youth.
Under long hours Of grilling, dur
ing which they were subjected to
"lie detector," the three maintained
| their story of suicide. They made
only minor variations.
Taken to BrownstOwn
The suicide verdict of the cor
oner cleared them today. Prose-
cutor David F. Long said they
would be charged with minor
crimes disclosed in investigation of
the killing.
They were to be taken before
Judge John c. Branaman at
Brownstown, where the prosecutor
said they had agreed to plead
guilty.
He planned to ask terms of one
to five years each for Kinder and
Hale, on charges of contributing to
delinquency of a minor and carry
ing unlicensed weapons, respec-
lively.
Mr.. Long said the Johnson girl,
accused of delinquency because of
her relations with Hale, would be
placed on probation in care of her
parents.
