Heavier fines, jail sentences and trips through morgues and hospi tals to view the dead and Injured vic tims of reckless automobllists are be coming effective In many parts of the middle and fur west to curb the Btead Uy mounting toll of automobile vic tims, a digest from the report of sev eraPstates shows.

There were 75 automobile deaths In November of this year. In Louisville, where 41 persona wero killed, one police judge now imposes fines of $2 tor each mile per hour on speeders, and adds jail sentences if the offender was Intoxicated. Judge Charles L.

Those who do not are required to sit down between two policemen and study it. When they can recito the entire law to the judge they got a lighter fine. ' With Med ford trade Is Med ford made.

SAM FRANCISCO, Dec. 7. Hoy Wilmot, former federal prohibition apont, was found trinity yesterday in the United Slates district court here on n charge of bribery. The Wilmot case was credited with being one of tho most sensational in the history of prohibition in Califor nia. An outstanding feature of the trial was an admission of perjury by Mrs. Stanley Scott,- a resident of Frenno, who paid that she became a party to a spurious ulibi to show that Wilmot was In Sacramento on July 29 of this yejHVon which date he. was accused of taking a $100 bribe, from J. J. Kolburn, n.drugifiHt here, pre sumably to influence an illegal, liquor charge against Kolburn. Wilmot was found guilty on "three counts, accepting $100 -from a drug gist, accepting gifts of whiskey and accepting the use of hn uutumobilo lit furtherance of a bribery, conspir acy. Saturday was set as the date for sentence. Each count curries a max imum penalty of three years' and fine of $2000. The . maximum sen tence therefore can be nine years and a fine of JC0O0, if the court sees fit not to have the sentences run concur rently.

Farmers should produce more af their own I iuuuMuiin uuu uuy ivati n.ui hiumi i'c i brought to them by railroad, accord ing to a survey of opinion among 25,000 farmers made public today by the department of agriculture. Nearly thirty per cent of the fool consumed by farmers and their families gene rally Is not grown by them or in their Immediate vicinity, it was shown, whereas it was estimated that 74, in stead of 70 per cent of their 'needs could be produced locally. High freight rates, it was explained,- tend to reduce the prices farmers receivo for their products and increase tho cost to them for the things they buy- from-outside localities.
