- VICTIAS ARE CARELESS Statistics for Last Year Reveal Causes of Fatalities—Represent Third of Violent Deaths. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. \ BALTIMORE, January 27.—One hun- dred and sixteen persons were killed by automobiles on the streets of Hai- timore last year, according to statis- tics of the police, this number total- ing one-third of the violent deaths listed in police records for 1922. This high mortality, a survey of the record indicates, was due principally to care- lessness of pedestrians and of chil- dren at play in the streets, Of the 116 killed, 51 deaths were in- stantaneous, the remainder of the victims dying in hospitals. Twenty- eight of the 40 children killed died as a result of playing in the Streets or darting from pavements when at play. Eight women met death when, after walking behind standing street cars, thev were struck by passing motors. Seventeen men and 8 women were killed while crossing streets in the middle of the block. The automobile truck was responsi- ble for a small fraction of the many accidents that occurred. It was the Jighter pleasure cars which caused the most havoc. Trucks claimed 20 ~victims, against 96 deaths caused by touring cars. That the driver cannot be held wholly responsible for the great number of fatalities is demonstrated CHILDREN'S HORSE SHOW Youthful Riders Win Applause in Various Events—Silver Cups Awarded.
