TRAFFIC DEATHS
SOAR TO 24,52O
Fatality Ratio Per Mile of
Travel Expected to Drop
for 1887, However.
Dy the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 30-Death
is setting a record breaking pace along
the Nations streets and highways.
The National Safety Council esti-
mated yesterday traffic accidents had
cost 24,52o lives in the first eight
months of this year.
The total was II per cent greater
than the 22,160 recorded in the cor
responding period Of 1936-the year
the all-time high mark Of $500
was established.
Deaths numbered $3.50 in August
compared with 3,74O in the same
month last year.
But statisticians pointed out the
August increase of per cent was
more than matched by the IA per cent
rise in automobile travel as gauged
by the gasoline consumption figures.
while the II per cent increase in the
first three quarters Of 1887 was
equalized by an identical upswing in
motor mileage.
They expect the deaths-for- miles
ratio to be somewhat lower than 1896
II the current trend holds.
New York led the cities in the eight
months death column with 528. Chi
cago, with 51l, ranked second.
However, New York had the lowest
traffic fatality rate among the most
populous centers.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., July "a
Following faint trail in the Webster
murder mystery, detectives today in
vestigated the story of street car
motorman that he picked up ruddy
laced man a short time after DR..
George Webster was mortally wounded
In his home.
The motorman, Patrick Mills, said
he picked up the man within walking
distance of Webster's home and near
the spot boy found a box of cart
ridges for gun of the same caliber
as the weapon with which Webster
was slain early last Friday.
The inquiry turned from Boston to
PaWtucket as metropolitan police an
nounced they quickly had abandoned
the theory that three men sought
for a jewel robbery had any connec-
ton with the Webster Staying.
Pollce said the motorman told them
his sole passenger got off at the
Observation-Disclosures city line. He
described the passenger as about S
feet inches tall, weighing abotu
$50 pounds, of ruddy complexion,
wearing striped blue suit and a
straw hat

The box of cartridges from which
three we're missing was found by H.
year-old John Hanly, jr.. beneath a
porch not far from the street corner
at which the motorman said his un-
known passenger boarded the street
car about 20 minutes after Webster
phoned police from his home to say
he had been shot
Police made futile examination
OF the cartridges for fingerprints,
traced them from the manufacturer
to Boston sporting goods house
where the trail ended and then de-
clded to turn them over to Capt.

listics expert
The obStetrlcian was. shot twice on
his doorstep with a 45-caliber auto
matte pistol, but a search of catch
basins and shrubbery in the district
has been fruitless, Deputy Supt.
James J. Cusick said
He said police have singled out no
suspect.
Suspects Cleared.
Early today the police spotlight
shifted momentarily to Boston, where
police announced that three men
wanted for robbing a Rhode Island
woman of $4,000 in jewelry at
Boston hotel were also wanted for
questioning in the Webster case.
Police threw eight detectives into
the search, but later the Bureau of
Criminal Investigation decided, after
questioning the robbery victim, that
the men could have no connection
with the Webster Staying. Police
