Our orders were to proceed north of Sulsun, where the work gang was to put In a siding. I had slowed up at a crossing and our train was barely moving when I heard the whis- tle of a locomotive apparently coming up behind us. I looked back and almost at the same instant there was a crash. The three flat cars on which the workmen were seated were literally lifted into the alr and then fell back upon the track z mass of splintered wood and twisted iron rough which the engine tha | with us seemed to be plowing its way. “The poor workmen were tangled up in the wreckage and their cries and screams sounded above the hiss of the escaping | steam. As soon as possible members of the crews who had escaped injury com- menced the work of rescue. The scene was horrifying. Men were pinioned be- neath heavy timbers, some were under the trucks and others were thrown to the side of the track where they were cut and bruised by the flving splinters.” Mr. Tracey would not venture an opinion as to the responsibility for the disaster. Fireman Harry Waters of the construc- tion train engine had no intimation of ap- proaching danger untii the crash came. “I was busy with my fir he said, “and the first thing I knew of any trouble wag when I heard the crash and our engine seemed to jump ahead a length or two as though it had been lifted from the rails. When I looked back I saw a scene the equal of which in horrifying | detail T hope never to witness again. | was knocked about the engine cab a little, but outside of a few black and blue spots and an awful scare 1 am none the wors for the accident.” James Davi; construction gang known to the familiarl 0 4 e Jim,” proved Br one of the grittiest men among the in-| jured. In the awful crash, when timbers and iron flew about promiscuously, his left leg and the heel of the left foot were sevcti?' crushed, the bones being broken. As he ?ny on the stretcher upon a truck he begged for a drink of water, while tears, not of sorrow, but caused by in- tense pain, filled his eves. he drank the water his hand trembled like a leaf, and, his voice almost choking, he re- marked: “Jim Davis has always been strong enough to pull through any kind of a deal and 1 ess he’ll pull through is. Oh, this pain is awful—be careful, that heel is drop%lng off. There, thanks, old man. Jim Davis is strong and you ‘doc- tors will do the rest.” A stimulant quickly administered by one of the crew of physicians seemed to re- lieve him considerably, but as he ground his teeth in pain he murmured, “T'll bo all_right. 5 nders, aged about 60, residing on Third street, 8an Francisco, sustained in- juries about the small of the back and chest.- He believes ne is severely Injured internally.

We were going m‘fu! in a sidetrack up above Sui- sun, and were expecting to meet . the freight train at Cannon, a half-way sta- tion. About a mile and @ half from there we crashed together.

They were Callahan, Hughes and Hearn. There were about forty men on_the work train. Frank Campbell, one of the injured men, is a resident of Oakland. living at the home of his sister, Mrs. J. F. Pirfe, at 870 Castro street. Campbell was em- ployed as steward of Threlkeld's suzply outfit and was in the subply car when the accident occurred. e was thrown among a mass of materials. arm was broken and the wrist severely sprained. He also received some fearful cuts about the face and head. Mrs. Pirfe, who had heard the report of the accident and knew not but that her brother was among the killed, took the local train and arrived at the pier while the injured men were being placed on stretchers and car- ried from the cars. The sight of the man- gled bodies and the fear for her brother proved to be too great, and she had to be assisted to one side by her hugband and friends, who were soon able to tell her The | gmr His right | that, though seriously wounded, Camp- beil’s hurts were not dangerous. With her husband, who is an assistant in Passen- ger Agent Goodman's office, she crossed Wwith her brother on the ferry and saw him taken to the company’s hospital. | POLICE COMMISSIONERS { HOLD A SHORT SESSION Civil Service Examinations for Lieu- tenants Will Be Held at an Early Date. The Board of Police Commissloners held its regular weekly meeting last night and disposed of the usual number of applica- tions for retail liquor lcenses. Thomas F. Cashin, whose name was on the civil service list for appointment as patrolman and who falled to appear at the speclal meeting on Friday last, was or- dered by the board to be sworn in for duty to-day. John J. McLaughlin, who resigned from the force a few weeks ago, was allowed to withdraw his resignation, and the Commissioners restored him to his former on as patroiman. A communication was recelved from the il Service Commission which stated | that the examinations for lleutenants | would be heid at an early date. | The board referred back to the Judiclary | Committee of the Board of Supervisors | the petition for relief from Mrs. Lynch, | whose boy was injured by Policeman | Kenville, recommending that the commit- tee do something in her behalf. | ./ The hearing of the application of C. F. Kapp was continued for a week. “Pop” Sullivan was granted his quar- terly license for the saloon on Second and | Market streets. Through Attorney Short- | ridge he promised to close one of the | three entrances on Second street—that | leading to_the gentlemen’s grill. Com- missioner Mahoney voted against the ap- plication. Edward Foster of the Grand Hotel bar was also granted a license, Mahoney voting against it. A number of saloon men, who were | charged with keeping open on election | day, were reprimanded by President New- hall," He declared that at next election all restaurants and groceries having bar attachments would be compelled to keep their doors closed. | THE NAVAL MILITIA COURT OF INQUIRY Testimony in ;o;;to Trouble in the Wardroom of the Marion. A second and rather more interesting evening than the first was put in by the eourt of inquiry ordered to investigate the affairs of the naval militia last night. The | Alvisional officers were those examined. In addition to the questions regarding attendance, discipline and eficiency put to all the officers, the matter of the es Prelerred against Lieutenant W, orrison for unofficerlike conduct in | the wardroom of the Marion was gone in- | to. On September 9 while some of the of- | ficers and their guests were seated at the wardroom table having luncheon, Mr. Morrison entered and engaged in an alter- cation with one of the cfficers and made | remarks that were keenly resented. |Lharges were preferred against him, but | it was found that through some defect in i the law no court-martial is provided gor | the naval militla and so the charges Were returned to the officer who made them.

As a result of a decree of foreclosure granted yesterday in favor of the South- ern Pacific Company, the rolling stock of the Bierra Valley Rallway will be sold under the hammer. The stock includes two. fifteen flat cars, combination box cars and one combinae tion passenger and baggage car. The total amount of the fudgment is $18,956. The suit was brought in January to satisfy in Plumas County, to Plumas Junction. of $15,775. The road runs from Cll.lrviuo.l representatives of various women's or- ganizations. Miss Elizabeth L. Kenney of the Woman's Parliament of Southern California requested that the law regu- lating the property rights of women be amended. Bhe spoke especially of sec- tion 172 of the civil code, which places community property almost absolutely in the hands of the husband. Mrs. 8. R. Woods of Santa Monica, rep- resenting the Woman's Christian Tem- perance Union of Southern Califormia, presented three measures which will formulated into bills and placed before the Legislature. They embrace school | suffrage for women, abolishment of the sale of cigarettes in the State and the control of the sale of intoxicating liquors anitary districts. S S afions, who appeared for the dalrymen’s association, asked that & law be made doing away with preservatives 10 keep milk sweet. Bleyclists and other good roads advo- cates were well represented. C. D. Wil- lard, president of the Good Roads As- sociation, asked the lawmakers to in- dorse the resolutions adopted at the good roads convention held at the Chamber of Commerce the latter part of October. J. B. Lippincott, of the United States geological survey, asked that the legis- lators take some {nterest in his work and | appropriatd’a sum of money. The United | States Government is ready to put a dol- Jar into the work for every doliar appro- priated by the State, and has set aside 33000 for this purpose. The local Board of Trade was anxious to have the homestead exemption reduced | to $3000. A plea for the establishment of 2 deaf and dumb and blind school was made by J. A. Reckwith. A request for an extension of the statute of limitation was presented by the Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ Association. | "The legislators were the guests at luncheon of the faculty of the State Nor- mal School. The first speaker of the afternoon session, Dr. M. N. Avery, assed that in primary elections the referendum | be applied where it i most required in making nominations, and that a system be established where the nominations be made by direct vote of the people instead | of_in political conventions. Bupervisor E. 8. Field suggested the establishment of a good road between Los | Angeles and Kern County and also the amendment of the election law so that members of the election board need not be on the assessment roll.
