I' Involved in Wholesale

of organized vice in'this city, show
ing a systematic collnsion between
policemen and various women un-
1 1 i . j -: .. t,A 1 1 , til
,e;tnv inquiry, were predicted by
Assistant District Attorney James
j;. Smith. .
The . inquiry, which already has
resulted in the indictment of 'De
tective John J. Gunson, promises to
involve' officials' higher up in th de
apartment, according to Mr. mith
"I have evidence," he said, "that
one commanding officer of the
police department was not willing
to trust his subordinates in thecol
ection of money from women, and
personally met the women or their
representatives in public parks and
collected the money himself."
Mr. Smith declared that the in
quiry is bringing to light a flagrant
and widespread '"vice ring," the
members of which' are becoming
panic-stricken. Their 0 efforts to,
cover up evil conditions, he 'said,
have resulted in an exodus of
women and habiutrs of the -tenderloin,
i lie told of frantic efforts to
spirit witnesses our'of the city. "
Requests for -addresses of 500 al
leged vice resorts which Mr. Smith
has announced are flourishing under
police protection was .maae by
Mayor flytan. In a lfctter written
to District Attorney Swans Immedi
ately after his return from Palm
Beach, the mayor requested the in
formation in order that he might
take thclnatter up with Police Coni
missiouer Enright. Mr. Swann con
sulted with Mr.' Smith, who intro
duced the mayor to a police official
whose name was withheld.

10.000 PEOPLE
KILLED IN AUTO
ACCIDENTS, 1919
"
With 2,000,000 More Cars In
' Country This Year, Death
List Will Be Correspond- , ,
ingly Higher;
' v ' V : " '
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Incased Wire.
Chicago, March 5. Last year this
Country had 7,000.00f automobiles
and 10,000 deaths froflf automobile
accidents. Tjiis year there will be
9,000,000 automobiles and the death
IJst will doubtless be corresponding
ly higher. , v
, In Chicago 420 persons were killed
during 1919 by automobile accidents.
In Cleveland the list was 136, in St.
Louis, 97; in New York, 677. In
New York 191 children under 15
years of age were run down and
killed. In. Rochester, N. Yr, more
deaths were caused by, automobiles
than by street cars, railroads and in
dustrial, accidents combined.
Briefly it is apparent that the auto
mobile has become the most dcad
ly machine in the United States.
Census mortality reports show that
one-half the number of deaths are
eau'sed by automobiles, as against
the oter half charged against indus
trial accidents ot all sort a.
Even more alarming than these
statistics is the fact that in almost I
every case a comparison, year by
year, of the number of automobiles
in use and the number of automobile
deaths, indicates" that the deaths are,
increasing in almost exact mathemat'j
...lit- .i - . i m
ltsAitruy wmi inc increase in me
number of automobiles. With 'this
rule as a guide, it is altogether like
ly that more than 10,000 persons will
be killed by automobiles this' year.
