Irma Schaertzer, 3320 Twenty-second street, cut and bruised. The cihildren are daughters of Hemry C. Schaertzer, an attorney in the Cross- ley building, and nieces of Planz. By the capsizing of an automobile terday afternoon at Sacramento street and Van Ness avenue Mrs. Ida Planz, 29 years gld, the wife of Theodore Planz, a merchant tailor residing at 567 Geary street, was hurled ont of the vehicle and instantly killed in the presence of her husband. Her neéck was broken by the fall. Mrs. Frederika Planz, 756 years old, her mother-in-law, sustained serious injury to her head. It is feared her skull is fractured. Planz was cut and bruised, and two other occupants of the : overturned ma- chine, Theodore and Irma Schaertzer, 11 and 6 years respectively, the daughters of Henry C. Schaertzer, an attorney re- siding at 3320 Seventy-second street, were also cut and bruised. The younger Mrs. Planz was driving the machine when the accident occurred. The automobile was wrecked. Such was the tragic ending of a Sun- day afternoon outing that came upon the autoists with a shock which was height- ened by the strangely prophetic words of young Planz, who had said when the little family jaunt wvas arranged yester- day morning: “This will be the last ride we:shall take, for I am going to sell the ma- chine to-morrow.” The accident happerfed shortly after 3 o’clock, the party being on their way home from a run through the Presidio grounds. Only a few minutes before the upset Planz turned over the automobile to his wife at her request. They were gliding quietly along the smooth bitumin- ous pavement on Van Ness avenue. head- ing south. Just before the crossing at Sacramento street was reached Mrs. Planz cramped the forward wheels over to avoid a manhole cover that rested be- tween the street-car tracks on Sacra- mento street. This and the chuck hole a few feet distant along the edge of the tracks caused her-to swerve the machine. But in turning Mrs. Planz seemed to lose control of the automobile. It ran toward the sidewalk curb at a sharp angle and she feared it would strike a telegraph pole at the southeast corner of Van Ness avenue and Sacramento street. In her effort to prevent what ap- peared to be an impending collision with the mast, Mrs. Planz suddenly threw the guiding lever, controlling the forward wheels, sharply around. The quick turn capsized the machine and hurled its occupants out on to the hard pavement. Mrs. Planz struck on her head with Continued on Page 2, Columa 4. neck brokem | .

As a result of experiments he has made, he has decided to ask the next Legislature for an appropriation of $10.000 to be expended in installing a2 hydrostatic system in the differenc wings of the asvlum. “If T can get such a system here,™ he says, “I am confident I can increase the cures by ome-half. The hot water cure is coming into general use in Eastern asylums and physicians in charge are enthusiastic over the re- sults. I myself have been surprised on a number of occasions in the limited use we have so far been able to make of it at the improvements immediately manifest in patients. Our only ap- pliance at present is the open ordinary iron bath tub, and I consider we have worked wonders.” —— e MEXICO FACES A LARGE SHORTAGE OF WHEAT CROP Duty omn the American and Canadian Produet, It Is Belleved, Will Be Removed. MEXICO CITY, Oct. 22.—The short- ness of the wheat crop is greater than was estimated a few weeks ago, and millers are looking for the eniire re- moval of the duty om American and Canadian wheat by the first of next year. 'Phe city bakers have reduced the size of their loaves, asserting that It is impossible to give the same weight as formerly. There are some stocks of wheat in the hands of large farmers here, but not sufficient to bring down the price which is steadily rising. The price of corn is alse rising, the advance being over 30 per cent as com- pared with the prices in August. This causes hardship among the poor. There is a possibility that the duty om eern will be abated.
