PIG DEATHS FROM
MOTOR VEHICLE
ACCIDENTS, 1885

The United States Census Bur-
eau will report 219 deaths from
motor vehicle accidents in Arizona
during the year 1885, according to
figures compiled from death certi-
ficates and released this week by
the Arizona State Board of Health
This figure exceeds by 8 the sum-
ber of fatalities reported in 1884
and does not include the 5 persons
who lost their lives when wall OF
water, caused by a cloud burst,
swept away the bus in which they
were parked on the highway near
Wilcox last August %. This case
was submitted to the U. S. Census
Bureau, and the State Department
of Health was advised that the
deaths should be attributed to a
cataclysm, and not to faulty oper-
alton of a motor vehicle.
OF the 219 deaths last year, ISL
we're the result of auto-auto COLI
sions or accidents in which only
one car was involved, Sd were pc
destr:ans, 10 resulted from train
auto collisions, one was a racing
accident, one motorcycle accident,
and two we're tractor accidents.
statidtics lr the past several
wears indicate that the peak of ac-
cidents in Arizona is reached dur
ing the last three months OF the
year, when approximately one
third of the years total is recorded.
More than half of the death OF
nonresident citizens on Arizona
highways in 1885 occurred during
the last quarter of the year.
The figures show that 1852 OF
those killed were males; 24.26 were
non-residents of Arizona: 16.O%
we're under 18 years of age, 1852
between 18 and 80, 37.9% between
80 and so, and 17.56 were over &C.
The 1885 total was an increase of
3.79%o over the previous year when
211 deaths were reported from this
cause, and is an increase of 413%
over the 1893 total of 1856.

The tremendous volume OF un-

find an outlet before very long, or

Secretary Morgenthau and Chair

Board recognize this danger. They
are using all the influence they can
exert to block plans for initiation OF

ARIZONA REPUBLICAN STATE
CENTRAL COMMITTEE WILL
ISSUE CALL FOR CONVENTION
Call Will Probably Be Made Monday For Meeting
Of Republicans; G. o. p Planning To Put
Full Ticket On Ballot

PHOENIX, Jan. 81 CUP) - Ari-
zona's Republican state central
committee will sound the call for
the party's state convention next
week, probably on Monday, it was
learned today.
While final selection of the con-
vention city had not been made,
Phoenix received tentative approx
al.
The party, backed by the most
intensive campaign efforts of many
years, will put full ticket on the
ballot in hopes presidential year
chances of an upheaval may turn
in their favor.
Standing upon conservative at
tack on the New Deap', and seek
ing aid from "Jeffersonian" demo-
Gratis, the Elephanteers will go in
to a battle without any effort to
compromise with so-called radical
movements, National Committee
man Ned Creighton predicted.
The party will make a determin-
ed drive to increase registration of
nominally republican voters, among
whom party leaders count many
that commonly register democratic
because of the greater number of
party contests in democratic prim-
aries.
A claim of registration of more
than 5000 Democrats who have
signified intention to vote for re-
publican presidential electors was
made recently.
So far, state party officials have
sidestepped placing support behind
any individual candidate among
republican presidential aspirants
skillfully.
No olive branch will be held out
to the Townsendites that would in
