TUESDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 7, 1924 84.800 AMERICJNS KILLEOBUCCIOENT 1923 Death Totals Amounted to 1,462 a Week or 200 a Day Louisville, Ky., Oct. —7. Eighty four thousand lives were lost in the United States last year as the re sult of accidents. The death 101 l amounted to 1,4C2 per week, or 200 per day. Automobile accidents headed the list with 37 deaths per day. Falls killed 36 a day, drown ings 19, and railroad accidents 18. There figures, supplied by louis J. Dublin, New York, chairman of the committee on public accident sta tistics, National Safety council, in his report to that body at their an nual congress here, shows that the annual cost of traffic accidents vary from sls to S3O per capita, he said. George Guy Kelcey, Elizabeth N. J., manager of the traffic engineer ing division, said that from a study of accidents covering many cities and towns, it was indicated that most accidents do not occur in busi ness or congested areas or along gravel streets. “More accidents occur at street intersections than elsewhere, he said “but about three-fourths of these result in property damage only. Half of the injuries and deaths due to traffic appear to be in the middle of the block. From one-third to one-fourth of these obviously are ‘jaywalkers.’ “America’s accident death rate is 698 deaths per million of popula tion. England and Wales has a rate of 321 per million of population, siffira ALUMNI TO MEET (Continued From Page One) Cawood, James M., Americus., Chambliss, Jesse G., Americus.

CHILD STONED BY BAND OF MASKED MEN ATLANTA. Oct. 7.—Leroy Bla lock, 4 years old, asleep in his cradle early Monday morning, was awaken ed by a shower of stones hurled . through a window by a group of masked men, according to a report I of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Blalock, the * child’s parents, to the police. The THE AMERICUS TIMES RECORDEft child was sleeping near a window in the Blalock home at 136 Lovejoy street, the police were told.

The child was badly bruised about the head and shoulders, but the in juries will not prove fatal, according to physicians who were summoned and made an examination, RUM FLEET INVADES LONG ISLAND SOUND RYE, N.
