WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 1924 PRIZES OFFERED FOR SOLUTION OF AUTO ACCIDENT PROBLEM WHERE WILL IT END? In 1907 there were 508 deaths from automobile accidents in the United States. In 1923 there were 15,700 each death. These figures do not include grade crossing accidents. HOW can the ever-mounting number of automobile accidents in the United States be reduced? This question is being asked of every licensed insurance agent and broker in the country. Not only is it being asked, but one of the largest indemnity companies has brought together startling figures showing the steady increase in deaths from automobile accidents and, in a determined effort to get an answer to the question, has proposed a prize contest. Pointing out that high automobile liability insurance rates of any insurance company cannot be reduced unless the number of accidents is reduced, Charles H. Holland, president of the Independence Indemnity Company of Philadelphia, is offering $1,750 in cash prizes for the three best solutions of the problem. Judges, who will be nationally known authorities in automobile traffic matters, are now being chosen to consider the suggestions and award the prizes. The first prize is $1,000; the second, $500, and the third, $250. The contest will close June 80. Suggestions must not exceed 600 words in length and must more, we believe that if the creative brain power of the 150,000 agents and brokers can be mobilised, a real solution will be discovered." According to statistics furnished to Mr. Holland by the Automobile Department of the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, deaths resulting from auto-mobile accidents, not including CHARLES H. HOLLAND Who Offers the Prizes CLEVELAND, June 11. publican platform, on which President Coolidge will go to the party in November, was completed today by a planning committee of administration leaders. Laboring all night long, 15 drafted the platform, closely following the recommendations President Coolidge. The document, to be confirmed first by full committee on resolution, probably will be presented to convention for ratification about o'clock this afternoon. The dominant issues were oral economy—reference to saving of billions of dollars by Republican administration — endorsement of the Hardy Hughes-Coolidge world court posal. The men who drew up the form were Charles B. Warren Michigan; Lewis H. Smith of Colorado; Senator Frank R. Gocock of Idaho Representative Ma MONDELL URGES G. O. P. TO RETIRE INSURGENTS (Continued from Page One) gratifying formality to proceed with. "The public welfare now, more than ever, needs wisdom; patriotism, courage and unselfish devotion to duty. Cooperation between the executive and legislative branches of the government is essential to the happiness and prosperity of the people. The creation of confidence, the removal of any feeling of unrest, the continued progress toward the restoration of normal conditions, and the firm establishment of the party in its position of traditional glory can best be attained by the election of Calvin Coolidge to the presidency. "The nation's honor, its prosperity, its progress and the happiness and contentment of its people will be our aim. No man in America has the people's confidence to the same extent as our beloved president. Best passing the public confidence, he has every attribute requisite to lead us to the accomplishment of these ideals. "The burden of war taxation was greatly reduced. The public debt was steadily diminished. The armies of the unemployed, more numerous than the hosts that the nation marshaled into the world war, were soon absorbed in the ranks of industry, as wise legislation and sound administration referred the nation and its people from the handicap of Democratic policies. "Never before in our history has the need and necessity of dependable party responsibility been so clearly demonstrated as in the very recent past. Legislative control by shifting and changing combinations, resulting in majorities having no common faith and recognizing no united responsibility cannot, in the nature of things, produce legislative results bone-dent as they were just before beings engulfed in that overwhelming catastrophe. "In the moments they can spare from their fierce family feuds and rivalries they make a pretense of assuming to believe that they successfully laid down a smoke screen through which their transparent partisan purposes shall not be discovered, and in the contemplation of which all of their sins of omission and commission, of discredited policies and discreditable administration shall be overlooked and forgotten. "If the American people were prepared to forget—as the Democrats themselves endeavor to do—the whole indefensible record of the Democratic party in earlier days, they certainly could not overlook the fact that the most recent record of that party is one devoid of a single redeeming feature; of scandalous mismanagement, of unwise and indelegible policy when in control and utter lack of fixed and definite principle or policy, save that of muckraking and obstruction, when in minority. "As we proceed to the nomination of our candidates and the drafting of our platform we may find inspiration in the fact that ours is the only national party in America that can and does point with pride to each and every candidate nominated at its conventions and to every declaration made in any of its platforms. All human experience justifies faith and confidence in an organization with such a history. The record of wise leadership, sound policy, and faithful public service in the past affords the best possible guaranty of the future. "A tree is known by its fruits; not by the showy flowers of promise or the occasional defect in butt or branch, but by the normal harvest of the Republican party and leadership is faithfully reflected in the matchless growth and faded glory of the republic." CHARLES H. HOLLAND Who Offers the Prizes more, we believe that if the creative brain power of the 150,000 agents and brokers can be mobilized, a real solution will be discovered." According to statistics furnished to Mr. Holland by the Automobile Department of the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, deaths resulting from automobile accidents, not including those caused by trains hitting machines at grade crossings, have steadily increased from 598 in 1907 to 15,700 in 1928. In addition to these deaths it is estimated that about 400,000 persons were seriously injured in automobile accidents in 1923. The men who drew up the plan were Charles B. Warren Michigan; Lewis H. Smith of Colorado; Senator Frank R. Goodenof Idaho; Representative Max D. Madden of Illinois; Sen James E. Watson of Indiana; C. Kulp of Kansas; Speaker Perrick Gillett of Massachusetts; Den L. Mills of New York; D. Adams of Oregon; William S. Og Penna.; Senator Peter Norris og South Dakota; R. B. Cregee Texas; Senator Reed Smoot Utah and Henry W. Anderson Virginia. Each plank was written into platform by a majority vote. Outside the night the discussion frequently broken by angry deposition Three of the decisions create storm of dissension in the committee room. Angry voices flee out in the corridors where a number of newspaper men waited in less vigil. These were upon culture, the adoption of an Ku Klux Klan plank and a decision not to recommend the Plan of tax reductions to the nation. Opening their session on a clock last night, the committee first disposed of the economy tures of the platform. This point pointed out that the Hardy Coolidge administration saved 000,000,000 in two years, red taxes $1,250,000,000 and this total debt $2,500,000,000. It adopted joyfully. An hour later the presidents wished on a world court pledge were adopted without dissection. The plank gave hearty endorsement to the Coolidge plan joining the court, while discussing any intention of mingling affairs of the League of Nations. The first break in hard came when a proposal was made endorseme Mellon plan. In the committee wrote a plank posing a commission to study question of further tax revisions. As the hours slowly drifted an immigration plank withoutference to the Japanese excluction of a regular Republ House and senate and a plank denning misfeasance and malaise in office, but ignoring a file mention of the senate sails, were adopted. Prohibition issues were discussed with a demand for law enforcement. ranks of industry, as wise legislation and sound administration relieved the nation and its people from the handicap of Democratic policies. "Never before in our history has the need and necessity of dependable party responsibility been so clearly demonstrated as in the very recent past. Legislative control by shifting and changing combinations, resulting in majorities having no common faith and recognizing no united responsibility cannot, in the nature of things, produce legislative results beneficial or satisfactory to the people of the country. The inevitable effect of such legislative control is confusion and paralysis and a legislative product satisfactory to no one. "Every serious fault of recent legislation and every failure to complete and round out a satisfactory legislative program could and would have been avoided had there been dependable Republican majorities in the congress. The one certain and assured remedy for such a condition is the election of a congress, Republican, by a good majority, both in name and principle.

During all night long, 15 men in the platform, closely followed the recommendations of Kent Coolidge. The document to be confirmed first by the committee on resolutions, only will be presented to the nation for ratification about this afternoon. Dominant issues were fed-economy—reference to the millions of dollars by the lieutenant administration—and cement of the Harding-Coolidge world court promenade. One time the platform builders apparently faced a deadlock. There was much shouting and thumping of tables. The plank finally adopted reaffirmed the racial equality under the constitution and closed with a 'guarantee for religious freedom'. It was proposed by Representative Ogden J. Mills who warned the committee the Republican party would lose New York State unless it were adopted. The opposition was led by Senator Peter Norbeck of South Dakota. "This plank will irritate the klan," said Norbeck. "I propose we either fight them or let them alone." His suggestions were voted down, this being the only plank upon which a roll call was taken. The agriculture plank, left to the last, also caused an angry row. Senator Gooding of Idaho and Norbeck condemned the Republican party for indifference to the farmer and warned it wouldently striven for such a "50-50" recognition. Loud applause greeted the presentation of the report, indicating its approval by the convention. It took Howland until nearly 12:30 to finish the lengthy report of the rules committee, which contained not only the provision giving women 50-50 representation in the party, but also proposed certain changes in the apportionment of delegates to the convention. The delegates cheered when Howland read a recommendation that the national committee be empowered to declare vacant the seat of a national committeeman who failed to support the nominee of the party, thinking evidently that this was another thrust at the Wisconsin insurgents, but Howland stopped them by saying "that's been in every year." When he finished, the report was adopted unanimously. This task out of the way, Mondell called for a report from the committee on resolutions, (the platform committee) but Charles D. Hilles of New York arose and ground of the western men, was in ground of the westernmen. There were no "farm Weeks-Mellon gathering one to speak for them.

"This plank will irritate the klan," said Norbeck. "I propose we either fight them or let them alone." His suggestions were voted down, this being the only plank upon which a roll call was taken. The agriculture plank, left to the last, also caused an angry row. Senator Gooding of Idaho and Norbeck condemned the Republican party for indifference to the farmer and warned it would lose the west unless federal aid were promised the farmers. G. O. P. CONVENTION SPLIT OVER VICE-PRESIDENCY (Continued from Page One) of the convention—a chorus of "noes" being cast against the committee's decision to seat as delegates two native Porto Ricans, and Robert H. Todd, and deny a seat to E. Mont Reilly, a former governor of Porto Rico. The noes came from Reilly's friends but they were so greatly in the minority that the issue was plain. For the first time in the history of a Republican national convention, a woman presented the report of a major committee. She was Mrs. Elizabeth P. Martin of Philadelphia, a business-looking matron of long political experience. She proposed that Mondell be elected permanent chairman and this was O. K.d with a whoop. The delegates again showed their lack of regard for Wisconsin delegates by rising and applauding vigorously Mondell's crack at the "insurgents" in the last congress that prevented President Coolidge from carrying out his program. On yesterday, the 28 delegates from the Badger state remained in their seats and only smiled as the delegates shouted "stand up Wisconsin" and yelled at Mondell "give it to them." The convention rose and applauded, Mondell when he finished, but the Wisconsin delegates again kept their seats, which resulted in more ribald remarks. The Wisconsin people came here to sit, not to stand and applaud. Paul Howland of Ohio then presented the report of the committee on rules, which, as expected, contained an unanimous recommendation that women be admitted to full membership on the national committee and be accorded full equality in the affairs and councils of the party. This represented a clean cut victory for Republican women, who have consisted of one new pay for three following. After discussing their blind closed doors, they broke up because the approaching for the co-assembly at the audit it was announced another... RED "PLOT" TO ENLIST SCHOOL YOUTHS IN CAUSE IS REVEALED IN ENGLAND Lillian Rossati addressing a gathering of youths. What is declared to be a plot to enlist school boys and girls in the "Rod" cause, is being aired in England. Evidence of a communist movement to "catch the young" is seen in frequent gatherings of children at which radical speakers preach Marxism. A large number of boys and girls attended such an open air meeting addressed by Lillian Rossati, youthful "Red" orator. W. Mellon and other influential eastern men, was in the background of the westerners' move. There were no "farmers" in the Weeks-Mellon gathering, nor anyone to speak for them. All the delegates who attended the Winton session took great pains to emphasize this was "no boil" but merely a group gathering to try to get a western agricultural balance to a ticket they consider dominantly eastern in person and spirit. The westerners' meeting lasted an hour and was attended by approximately 40 delegates. Hanford MacNider, a delegate-at-large from Iowa, and formerly national commander of the American Legion, was named temporary chairman. After discussing their plans behind closed doors, the session broke up, because the hour was approaching for the convention to assemble at the auditorium, and it was announced another session would be held at 2 o'clock. Meanwhile those who attendedpection that this afternoon's session there will be a greater representation and definite action can tions in every state embraced in be taken on candidates.
