MRS. METCALF’S LIFE | S IN PERIL Secretarys Wife Has Close Gall Bravely: vLeap~ to Safety From a Runaway Automobile. and Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Oct. 81 The failure of an automobile brake to work at & critical moment resulted in an aocident yesterday afterncon in which Mrs. Victor H. Metcalf, the wife of the Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor, Philip E. Bowles, president of the First National Bank, Mrs. Bowles and Mr. Littlefleld, & friend of lir. Bowles, narrowlx es- caped serious injury. The wuccident happened on a steep hill on Baya Vista street In Pledmont. While a1l the mem- bers of the party were badly shaken up, only Mr. Bowles, who was operat- ing the machine, was injured. The perty were enjoying 2 ride through the Piedmont district and | everything went well until the auto- | mobile struck the hill, which is very | steep. When near the top of the hill | the engine suddenly stopped and an instunt later the machine began to run | backward down the hill. Mr. Bowles | at once applied the brake, but it re- fused to work and as the speed in- creased he realized that the car was beyond control. Crying to the others to jump, he turned the machine in toward the bank at the side of the road. As the wheels struck the curb the shock hurled it against the bank side- ways and it was overturned. Just before the machine ran up on the bank Mrs. Metcalf jumped from the car and escaped unhurt. Mrs. Bowles and Mr. Littlefield were un- able to get out in time and were thrown from the machine when it overturned, but fortundtely both fell clear of the car. Mr. Bowles was caught beneath the machine and received a deep. cut on the face and a number of painful bruises. . His injuries were not serious, however, and he was able to luend to business to-day. The automcbile was but little dam- aged. It was righted and the party re- turned home but little tho worse for the mishap. 2 UNIVERSITY EVENTS BERKELEY, Oct. $1.—Dr. Henry C.

Gunter, now aged twenty-four and twenty-two, were the principals in the trial of a divorce suit before Judge Ellsworth to-day. The young wife told a tale of brutality and violence and accused her husband of striking her as she knelt before him pleading with him to stop his indulgence in liquor. One night, only a few weeks before the birth of their first baby, she says, he choked her and made her leave the house at midnight. Young Gunter is an operator on a linotype machine in San Francisco, but lives at home with his mother at 1314 Twelfth avenue. To this home the young husband took his child wife, but the drink habit, she says, caused their love to shrivel and die. “I tried to be happy with him,” she “but he would strike me and once he threw hls heavy shoes at me. He slapped me in the mouth and drove n.e out of.the house at midnight. I cried myself to sleep many nights and he told me to get a divorce, as we had married when we were too young and he had found some one he liked bet- ter.” . The trial is not yet finished. Margaret Dunbar of Berkeley has filed a suit for divorce against John Dunbar on the,ground of cruelty. She alleges that he choked her and twil'ted her arms until she thought they would jump out of their sockets. She also says that his right name is not Dun- bar, but that in the East he went by the name of Du Guid. She finally be- came so terrified with his treatment that she says she slept without u.klnl off her clothes. Suits were also begun hy Frank R. Furey against Mary Furey on the ground of desertion; Maggie I. Léwis against Arnold M. Lewis on the ground of ncsloct.
