SUHALL DEATH PUM ARJURIES TAGNATION
Washington. The passing of Sen. Thomas David Schall a blind 58 year old Republican from Minnesota who died yesterday from injuries suffered when he was hit by a rotor car appeared certain today to spur efforts to curb the automobile accident menace. Coming as it did on the same day when 14 persons lost their lives through an open drawbridge at Hopewell Virginia the death served to emphasize the rising tide of automobile accidents which took 36000 lives last year. Senator Borah of Idaho said I wonder how long this reckless destruction of life will go on and it seemed likely that more would be heard on the subject at the coming session of congress.
