Kugel Says That Pedestrians Ought to Use More Care In connection with several fatal au tomobile accidents in Omaha this week Superintendent Kugel of the po lice department made the following observations: "I have no defense to offer for motorists who exceed the speed limit or who are othewise care less, but I know from observation that many pedestrians do not exercise reasonable care in crossing streets. I have just received several reports of children in certain sections of the city purposely running out in front of cars and holding out their arms to be touched by passing automobiles. Ped estrians should share the responsi bility of our growing traffic problems and motorists also should have con sideration for pedestrians. It is not a one-sided question." Mr. Kugel said that every time hi children leave their home he or Mrs. Kugel warns them against automo biles, and he believes other parents might well follow that example.

At the same time the owners of the property declare they paid the same tax. MRS. CUNNINGHAM KILLED UNDER AUTO Wife of 0. O. Cunningham Struck Down as Alights From Street Car, DRIVEN BY 0. H. ST0CKDALE The second killing within twenty four hours due to speeding automo biles on Farnam street near Twenty sixth occurred yesterday afternoon when Mrs. Christina Cunningham, aged 50, wife of Colonel L. G. Cun ningham, prominent Omaha business man, met death under the wheels of an auto driven by C. H. Stockdale of the Lininger Implement company. Mrs. Cunningham was killed while waiting for her husband, who had telephoned her a few moments be fore that he was coming on the next Farnam street car. She was a bride of three months, a peculiar coinci dence "eing that at 3 o'cloik on May 17, she married Colonel Cunningham, and three months later, to the very hour, death parted them. Sstockdalc was demonstrating a car to a prospective purchaser. He as serts he was moving slowly and that she saw him and heard his horn. When he was near the place where she stood, however, she stepped into the street and in front of the ma chine, which could not be stopped In time to save her, said Stockdale. She was knocked down, her skull crushed and both legs broken. The occupants of the car picked her up and rushed her to the Leonardo da Vinci hospital, where death relieved her sufferings a few hours later. Stockdale wa arrested, but was later released on a !pb,000 bond upon the order of County Attorney Mag ney. Mrs. Cunningham was formerly Mrs. Christina Gunn, sister of John S. Paul, prominent banker of Flor ence, who is now in Washington. When Mr. Cunningham's son was injured in a foot ball game several years ago and was ' edridden for three year, Mrs. Gunn nursed him faithfully until the end and acted as housekeeper at the Cunningham home at 419 Sweetwood avenue. Last May they were married. Colonel Cunningham is 70 years old and is prominent in Economic league activ ities. He is western manager for a St. Louis paper and printing firm, and is also interested in real estate. The Lody w taken to the Brailey & Dorrance parlors and the funeral will be held probably Sunday. "We were going out together to look at a piece of property for a new home," Mr. Cunningham told a Bee reporter. "I had just telephoned to her that I was on my way home, and she said she would meet me at the street car. I missed her and thought she had changed her mind and went out alone, so I went 'out there and then return. 'd and was told that she had been kit ed." Hot Weather Here On Another Visit Our old friend, hot weather, is with us again. Thursday the well-known ther mometer was driven up to 96 before the shades of night began to fall and bring some relief. Out in the state the maximums ranged from 92 to 99 degrees, the lat ter figure prevailing at Superior. The only place in Nebraska with any rain to speak of was Culbertson, with .62 of an inch. The weather officials in Chicago, according to dispatches from there yesterday, predict that maximum temperatures in most sections be tween the Rocky and the Allegheny mountains would range from 95 to 100 degrees today. The temperature in Chicago at 9:30 a. m. was 90 de grees and going up rapidly. Air disturbances in the northwest, low barometric pressure and south winds are to blame for the new hot wave. The month of August in Omaha is 48 degrees hotter than the average August. This figure is for the seven teen days past, which makes each daily average temperature 3 degrees hotter than the average.
