The street car, crowded with people returning from the baseball game at Idora Park, was bound for Oakland, and the Key Route train was running from the Piedmont terminus to the pier. When the heavy motor car struck the ligh.ter electric car, throwing it from the rails, the terror-stricken passen- gers were hurled in all diections by the terrific shock, several being thrown Others, less fortunatc, were pinned in the wreckage of the car, to be later rescued by voluneers'who, attracted by the crash and the screams of the injured, hast- wrecked the car and injured more than a score of passengers. completely through the heavy glass windows into the street. what aid they could. Standing with the motorman on the front platform of the car were a m;llifl' of passengers, and not one of these escaped more or less serious injury. Among these was George S. Hodson. an umpire for the Pacific Coast Baseball League, who was returning from the game at Idora Park. When the car was struck by the train Hodson was hurled bodily through the front window of the platform. To the force with which he was thrown from the car Hodson owes his life, for he was thrown clear of the wheels of the motor car, which grazed his body as he lay stunned beside the track. ; Hmn W. A.

CROWDED WITH PEOPLE FROM IDORA PARK. | List of Those Injured in Key Route Wreck. THUGS IN UNIFORM . BEAT CITIZENS, SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—By exercise of brute force the Brooklyn Rapid By | Transit Company today served notice ¥pn the public of 'ifs firm determination to continue extorting its tribute of a 10-cent fare from Island. the city to Coney Assaults, in which women and littie children fared scarcely better than men, marked a most violent Sun- day. Thousands of persons, leaning upon the decision of a Supreme Court Jus- tlee that two fares to Comey Island constituted larceny, started for the seashore, Intent upon resisting the exactions of the Brooklyn Rapid They were met by thugs in the uniform of the company. Hundreds of passengers were thrown from the cars, beaten and cursed. Two women and two children were pum- meled and pitched from a l'Al? and in another case two women and a man were ejected from a train near the trestle leading to the island, and, be- ing entrapped between two cars, were thrown into the creek. They would have been drowned but for the swift | action of a fisherman. Alarmed at the peremptory order of Deputy Police Commissioner O'Keefe that citizens must not be ejected from cars, the company in turn ordered a cessation of hostilities, but maliciously refused to run cars. Twenty thousand persons tonight were congregated for three miles on the tracks which lead to the city from the Neck road. Cars were stalled three miles, while citzens formed bands and | exhorted their fellows to fight the double fare. —_— Injured While Fighting Fire. NAPA, Aug. 12.—Fire in Briggs Broth- ers’ pump and machine works on East First street this morning caused a loss of $1200. The blaze was caused by the | explosion of a barrel of oil.

Red tape does not appeal to the present in rial body. There has been too £ it In ev since stion came under its it has determined to go direct to headquarters after the welch~ ers. The Grand Jury realizes that many of the big German companies that ref to pay their policy-holders are so It alse realizes that 150 these ¢ are seeking loopholes in the law in an effort to evade payment. The laws off this State cannot reach them, Inasmuch as their assets are for the most part located in Germany. hence the appeal to the German Emperof. KAISER IS SYMPATHETIC. Some time ago the Kaiser volunteered the statement that ‘he would make ani example of any of the German compa- nies that did mot do the fair thing by their policy-holders. Since then he has been silent. But the Grand Jury is of the opinion that he is still with the | people who lost their all, and will harken to a- appeal that comes direct| from a high officlal body representing the city of San Francisco. This appeal will be drawn up in legal form and signed by nineteen members of the jury and by Judge Graham, the presiding Judge. Attached will be a carefal review of the entire situatiom. in which the stand taken both by the insurance companies and by the policy- holders will be fully explained. so that all the evidence necessary to a just judgment will be before the Kaiser. The Grand Jury believes the German ruler does not fully understand the conditions in San Francisco. It has been learned that the general opinion in the Fatherland is that this city was leveled by the earthquake and that a lot of scheming Yankees are trying to force the German insurance companies into paylng out money that should rightfully stay in the old country and earn honest interest. BROUGHT IT ON THEMSELVES. This action on the part of the Grand Jury is the result of the schemes and devices of the sharp lawyers and ad- Jjusters who have been sent out here to induce the pollcy-holders to settle their claims for half their face value. I this communication is recognized and a favorable reply received much will have been accomplished toward a speedy liquidation of the debts owed by the ‘German companies to the people of San Francisco. If the Kaiser ignores the document, or refuses to interfere, there is no harm done and some other means will be brought to bear in orden that the Gcrman corporations may be forced to pay. The Grand Jury has received word that the several attorneys and adjust- ers who have recently been subpenaed to show their documents and photo- graphs of buildings are endeavoring to squirm out on a techmicality. These men, it is sald, will ignore the subpe- nas of the local Grand Jury on the ground that they are now doing busi- ness in Alameda County and that thein documents and other pqssessions can- not be examined by the local jury. ALAMEDA JURY TO CO-OPERATE. In order to thwart this scheme the local body will communicate with the Alameda County Grand Jury today and ask that body to co-operate with it so that the insurance men may be brought to time. It Is expected the Alameda | jury will listen to this call for aid. | Assistant District Attorney Harrison has looked up the law on this peint and his conclusion s that' the local jury has| | & legal right to subpena these lawyers | and adjusters from another county. But | in order that they may not escape, tha Alameda County jury will be commu- nicated with. The cases of the insurance men !eome up again before the Grand Jury | Wednesday afterncon. It is the inten~ _ tion of the jurors to subpena several mere witnesses, both attorneys and ad- | usters. The Inquisitorial body intends | Continued on Page 2, Columa 2 a
