Conductor Baker, mindful of the danger, with shouts and force managed to break through the line of struggiing men, reached the controller and brought the car to a standstill. The oncoming car was slackered and the danger was over. Within ten minutes seven cars were standing on the down track and four on | the up, showing the close proximity of | the cars and the danger that attaches to | such raiiroading. The injured motorman | was taken from his car and carried to one bound toward the city. He was still un- | conscious when he reached the Stanyan- street police station. The excited people on the car that carried him to the sta- tion followed, saw him placed on a | stretcher and taken to his home, 2820 Bush street.

However, when the railway em- ployes overed that the passengers were beginning to search for the cause of the collision they got the passengers back on the cars and took them to their des- tination. The forward car went down the road strewing bits of glass and splintered wood along its way. The rear dummy was badly twisted, stanchions were broken and the fender dragged, but with its fifty pas- sengers it made the trip without leaving the track.

About two hours after the accident Motorman Bates recoveicu consciuusness. He said that he felt fir- at pain in the region of the groin and It is probable that he suffered a rupture beside the electric shock from the twisted controller. Bates said he thought that his car was behind a sufficient distance to insure safety. When I saw car 516 stop I immediately began my attempt to slacken speed. I saw, however, that the momentum of my car was too great to be controiled by the brakes and so I reversed the current. For some reason the power failed and the car went on and crashed into 5i5.

Jem Angsios, reason Mr. | with here and | made her first appearance with the com- pany last night, commands priority. S.e has abllity and confidence as well, and although she does not dim the luster of Miss Van Buren in point of loveliness she shows a more mature and conse- quently a surer art. There is a_sugges- tion of masculinity about Miss Wakeman |and I can imagine her ripping things to | pleces in an emotlonal role. She has a | vocal register that drops to the most sepulchral tones, and there is every evi- | dence of physical force in her manner and dppesrance. t is just as well, I think, that her part afforded her no opportunities for flights of passion, for she succ in being quite charming In a tame state. I had rather she would try to be simple and nat- ural and half succeed than she should let loose all the ener; that is in her and fail through want of repression and self- control. Frankly, her potential passion awes me; I am very much afraid the lady would rant. 1t is gutlmu to find In this, the last week of the engagement, that a member of the company for whose presence on the stage I have hitherto falled to find a rea- son actually comes to the front and acts with downright cleverness. A juvenile role such as that of Tom Raycer is just what Francis Byrne needed to show what is in him. If he never attempted anything else he might be rated among the best in | the business. Armory, as usual, is unctuous and en- tertaining. Harrington Reynold moves as a peg and Mr. Frawley is not in the way. His colloquialisms, which are supple- mented by similar efforts from Mr, Arm- ory and Mr. ByTne, are not out of place in"such a generally breezy affair as “An Unconventional Honeymoon™ and help to move things along quite agreeably. The play has plenty of that kind of humor that knows no sect nor race, and whoever sees it, provided he understand the Eng- lish language, will be healthfully and, I may say, heartily amused.

People who went out into the open, to the park and beach and other places where recreation could be found, were numbered by the tens of thousands yes- terd: The beach was lined for miles, many spending the day watching the lucal Nome miners work in the black sand two miles down the beach from the Cliff. The crowd at the park was the largest of the eason, and thousands visited the Chutes and Sutro’'s baths. Edward Schank, while riding through the park on a wheel, became faint, fell off and was seriously injured. He wa3s taken to the hospital for treatment and then home. James Ach, a young law stu- dent was arrested for fast bicycle ridin, and released after depositing the required bail.

The Nero is 93 days from Guam She has made soundings for a cable be- tween Guam and Hawali, and her officers say that a first-class route has been lo- cated. The survey boat did not stop at Honolulu, so she had no trouble with the quarantine officer. The Nero was for- merly the collier Peter Jebsen, and when the Government purchased her during the war she was made into a first-class ocean- going tug. She towed the coast defense vessel Monadnock from here to Manila, and after that was turned into a survey steamer. Ever since she has been at work on the shore line of the Philippines sur- veying a cable route betwen Manila, Guam and Honolulu via Wake Island, in all covering a distance of over 3,000 nau- tical miles.
