Autoists Reckless Despite Arrests; Laws Here Less Strict Than Elsewhere Ton Manv Accidents in Omaha for Number I * ’ of Cars, Report Shows—Tough to Be Viola tor of Traffic Rules in Some Stales. - ■■■■ - ■ ■■■■ - - ■ - m — Annual figures show the automobile traffic situation is becoming more and more a problem as the years pass. In Omaha the large per capita ownership of motor cars and the year ly accident and death toll are out of proportion, Nebraska casualties from auto accident^ are High. There are many arrested in Omaha for the vio lation of tfuftic laws, yet the viola tions continue. According to Nebraska statutes, the first offense against the reckless driv ing law is punishable with a fine ngt to exceed $50. The second time the tine is stipulated at not less than $50 or 60 days in jail. The speed limit in open country is 35 miles an hour. If injuries result the fine is raised to between $200 and $500 or one year in the penitentiary. Hard in Nutmeg Stale. Connecticut has a law which car ries a heavy penalty for its violation. A motorist, convicted of operating a car while Intoxicated, is fined from between $100 to $500, or receives a sentence of 60 days in jail, and his operator's license is revoked for one year. The second offenRe brings noti less than 60 days or more than one year in jail. It- is a criminal offense in Alberta and many of the other Canadian provinces to drive a motor car while intoxicated.

The same Is true of Rhode Island. Tennessee deems it a misdemeanor for a driver not to bring bis car to a full stop between 30 and 50 feet from railroad tracks before crossing t The majority of headlight laws in the states are similar to that of Ala bama. whiqh states that two lights In front of the motor car must be lit a half hour after sunset and until half hour before sunrise.

New York, Sept. 29."—The lure of millions which a dying mother could not take with her, yet wished to hold In a ghostly grip strengthened by legal cords, stands out ns the motif in tMe death of Mrs. Gertie Gorman Webb, who, it is charged by her uncle, William T. Hunter, former mayor of Devon, Pa., was killed by slow poisoning. ' Mrs. Webb Is said to have Inherited $2,660,000 in cash and real estate from her mother, Mrs. Gertie A. Smith Gorman. But the money was tied up in trust beyond the power of Mrs. Webb to dispose of. There was a special provision of the will that forbade the greater por tion of the fortune going to "any hus band" of the daughter. It is around this will of Mrs. Webb's mother that the authorities hope to build their case and find the clue to the discovery of murder, if a intirder has been committed. Mansion Opened for Kile*. While the prosecutors of New York county and Westchester county were rdfletng into the history of the mil lions today and the mystery of Mrs. Webb’s death at the Westchester Ciltmore Country club, the funeral of Mrs.' Webb was being held in the big mansion on Madison avenue op. posite that of J. 1’. Morgan. Police reserves were required to hold the crowds in check. The big house had been in disuse for several months but was opened today for the funeral by Charles Webb, the husband, and K. Jennings Oorman, father of the dead woman. Despite Webb’s estrangement from other members of his wife’s family, h'- secured to Ion the most friend ly terms with her father. Meanwhile the authorities are .iwaiting a up. rt from an expert in Philadelphia as to whether the vital organs of Mrs. tj'ebb showed evi dences of ’poisoning. A preliminary and unofficial examination by an at torney for the district attorney s of fice of New York county showed traces of lilclorlde of mercury poison ing, it was said. Mrs 7i ue Punter mmt of Mrf. Wfbii. we’ wltii, o? wfilbtt* ft j ,uu te.r, was one of ti.4 principal ’bene ficiaries of the will ,,f Mrs. Webb’s mother, and would have inherited much more if Mrs. Webb died without making a will. Increased Wraith. The authorities learn, however, that Mis Webb in recent years made two wills and a short time before her death refused to sign a third. It is said that Mrs. Webb, by skillful real estate operations and her own bus! ness acumen, added $1,000,000 to the \alue of her estate, in addition to the wealth left her by tier mother, Mr. Hunter,. Mrs. Webb's uncle, s.ud today: "Gertie was given bichlor ide of mercury to cause her death. There was nothing accidental or sui cidal about it. She was poisoned by someone else." 11, Thayer Kingsbury, a second cousin of Mr Webb, and now acting as bus attorney, declared today that the married life of Mr, and Mrs Webb had been perfectly happy He said Webb was prostrated by the death of his Wife anil the publicity I'Ut refused to dleetiss the finyiriul disagreements of the family Grainger Will Go on Trial in Week Lincoln, Sept. 29.—The case of Krnest Grainger, charged with man slaughter in connection with the deaths of Kina llourmnn and Gar’.
