year.
The annual summary of traf-
fic mishaps said motor fatalities
decreased 37.7 per cent, to l,ll6
persons killed, while personal
injury accidents dropped ll.744,
Or 28.8 per cent, ana purely pro-
perty damage accidents fell off
24.5 per cent.
Capt. c. j. Scavarda, comman-

ness by the public OF the neces-
sity for conserving materials and

county roads dropped 39.4 per
cent, on trunk line highways 40.

rate per 100,000.000 vehicle
miles for the state was reduced
26.4 per cent.
Only eight counties-Craw-
ford, Gladwin, Luce, Mackinac,
Oscoda, Mason, Newaygo and
Tuscola-reported an increase
in fatalities IN 1912. while six
Counties-Benzie, Leelanau, Og-
emaw, Montmorency Otsego and
Barry reported no traffic
deaths for the year. Nearly half,
48.6 per cent, of the States traf-
fic deaths, occurred in Wayne,
Oakland, Macomb, Cenesee and
Kent counties, although those
same counties have registered
$50 per cent Of the States au-
tomobiles.
The cities of Adrian, Alpena,
Birmingham. Merominee and
Ypsilanti reported no fatalities
for 1912.
One-fifth of the drivers in
volved in fatal accidents had
heen drinking, Scavarda said,
and 8.S per cent had their ability
impaired by alcohol. In fatal pc
Gestrian accidents, IS per cent OF
the persons killed, either were
violating traffic laws, or behav-
ing unsafely, and nearly one
quarter Of them had been drink

DEATH PENALTY
There was no recommendation
for leniency. Thus, under Oregon

death penalty.
For II hours and % minutes
the jury of eight women and
four men mulled the fate of the
Negro who assertedly confessed
to Los Angeles police he thought
the Norfolk, Va, girl was Just

get her out of my mind"
He was accused of slashing
Mrs. James throat as the west

snow-c covered Willamette Val

In one Of three unsigned state
ments admitted into evidence,
the Negro told how he cautious
ly felt of the sleeping woman's
form, then unfaStened the cur
tains of her berth and straddled
her body.
She struggled desperately -
almost throwing him out of the
berth, one statement said - and
he plunged a knife he had just
sharpened deep into her neck
and drew it down across her
throat, almost decapitating her.
The jury never heard the
story from his own lips. Defense
Attorney Leroy Lomax did not
call on him to testify.
AT the time of her death, Mrs
James was southbound from
Seattle Wash. to San Diego,
