NEW VOItK, Juno 7. In describ ing the escape of a negro truck driv er, who had run over and killed a child ou Kast 151st street, one of the New York papers said: "Policeman Sommerer forced the men back from the wagon with little trouble, but women attacked him as he climbed up by the frightened driver. Sommer er seized the reins and whip from the negro, .waved the crowd In front aside, lashed the horse3 and started them on a gallop. For 15 blocks he plied whip until tho truck reached tho Morrisanla police station. But the crowd pursued. Many of tho wom en almost kept pace with the wag on. Sommerer lost no time. He and the negro leaped from the truck and dashed into tho police station just In time to escape tho foremost pursu ers." Probably on an average of twice a week such a story as this appears In tho New York jiapers. The reason for tho state of mind that prompts these attacks Is easily found in tho follow ing recent batch of statistics by the National Highways Protective asso ciation: 300 children killed In New York city in 191091 killed by wagons 42 killed by automobiles 50 killed by trolleys. "As certain as there Is a United States, u fearful condition of anarchy will result If tho killing and maiming of children by vehicle traffic Ih iiov stopped," is tho statement of Colonel ISdward Cornell, secretary of the Na tional Highways Protective associa tion, Tho society Is trying to cut down this fearful dealroll by teaching chil dren pplf-protecUvo pleasures, estab lishing playgrounds to keep tho chil dren off the streets and tho most Important of all, according to Cornell by trying to Impress mothers with the duty they owo to their children.
