AUTO TRAFFIC IS INCREASING (Continued from pg l) says : "During 1923 a classification record of accidents observed and investigated by the state traffic officers was prepared. Of the to tal of 365 such accidents 190 were the result of carelessness or reck lessness, ten were caused by im proper lighting equipment, faulty mechanism 14, driving while in toxicated 12, parked on pavement seven, driving while asleep three, fog and fire two, speeding 16 un known causes 111. "During the year 1924 accident reports have been gathered from all parts of the state and1 such re ports centralized in the office of the secretary of state. Up to Oc tober 1 these reports show a total of 15,535 motor accidents. In classifying these we find that 13, 039 were caused by carelessness and recklessness; 189 were the re sult of drivers being intoxicated, and 126 were caused by improper lights or failure to dim. Weather condition was the cause of 203, speeding came in for Its usual share, with inexperience and jay walking contributing a percentage worthy of study. Defective equip ment, brakes particularly, contri buted 209. The sting of axbee was the cause of two serious accidents, while a runaway team and stock loose ; on the highway were the cause of ifive others." WILBUR NOTE IS PREPARED . (Continued from pg 1) the question of gun elevations. : Secretary Wilbur would not say, however, whether the ques tions he had received touched on this subject. : Mr;Wilbur took occasion today to look up records of the naval battle of Santiago and the logs of certain ships engaged In the fight ing along the Cuban coast in 1898 in order to verify a recollection he had that American ships at that time had been listed in order to increase the range of their guns, a procedure which has been expert mented with recently by both the British and American navies. lie found that the battleship Indiana Men's Overcoats r mi) r I :'i O MILLS STOKS on July 11, after the naval en gagement and while endeavoric : to bombard the city of Santiar over a high bluff, had swung 1. r two main battery turrets to the offshore side which listed the shi; several degrees and added to tho elevation of her eight inch second ary battery on the shoreward fide. Mr. Wilbur also found in eld American and British scientific magazines comparisons of the America? . A Spanish navies mado before war was declared between those two countries. The "experts" of that day, he discovered, held the two navies to be relatively equal in strength as far as their ships were concerned although tha Spanish naval strength consisted, largely of heavily armored fait cruisers, while the American navy Included a ifar larger proportion of battleships. The secretary made no comment in connection with his explorations into-the old records, saying he had looked these mat ters. up orjly to verify his own recollections.
