The states in substance that no 1 use a chimney flue in San neisco' until permission to do so is granted by the Board of Public Works after it has been inspected. By its terms it does not apply to buildings erected since April 18, 1906, _form of policy in general use in Francisco provides that “if the hazard be increased by any means within the control or knowledge of the insured” the policy shall be vold. This clause has been judicially construed to that such a change in the cir- stances, interest or surroundings as increases the hazard of loss or dam- age by fire vitiates the policy. Bach case would be determined upon the facts. If it should appear that the failure to comply with the ordinance in question in theé case referred to ma- terial nereased the risk by fire, then the policy would be voided. San YODS THREATEN RICH TEXAS FARMING LAND Ranchers Making Efforts to Save Their Crops From the Rising Water. HOUSTON, Texas, Aug. 12.-—The flood in the Colorado River, started by the torrential rains in the San Angelo country a week go, is now reaching and the farmers ¢deavoring to save what they can of their crops. Despite every effort, the loss will be heavy, as there are many farms in the bottoms from Austin to the river's mouth. Additional rains around Austin make it certain that the flood period will last about two weeks. EL PASO, Aug. 12.—Torrential rains in the mountains east of here and north of the Southern Pacific track in the vicinity of Sanderson have washed out twenty miles of track, and trains will not be able to go through for several days. Trains are being detoured from San Antonio by way of Dallas and into El Paso over the Texas and Pacific road. This is the most serious wash- | out on the Southern Pacific section in many years. Taken From Stranded Vessel. PONTA DEL GADA, Aug. 12—The passengers and crew of the Italian steamship Brooklyn. from Marseilles, August 4. for New York, which ground- ed in entering this port on August 10, have been landed.

They saw the four masked men come out of the bushes and walk up the beach toward Sheehan's. The robbers did not molest ‘them, and they were either too fright- ened or too thoughtless to attempt to warn others on the beach. Nelther did they see the men disappear, although they heard the shot distinctly and real- ized at once what had taken place. They told the police last night what they had seen and were zllowed to go to their homes. SUSPECT DENIES GUILT. The conductor of a beach car reported to the police early this morning that two suspicious loocking men boarded his car at Forty-second avenue and got off at the beach. He was unable to give a. thorough description of them. The police are convinced that the four {men who held up two' men -on the | speedway at 4 oclock went on te the | beach and attempted to rob Mulines and | Miss Brisa. They worked all night on the case. ! Willlam Hoffer, the man arrested, |says that he knows nothing of the | erime or the four masked men. He says that he went to the Dayis Theater and | took the car to the beach to enjoy the al~. His answers were not satisfac- tory to the police. The holdup in Golden Gate Park oc- curred at 9:30 o'clock, an hour and a half before the Ocean Beach crime was | committed. The victims were Miles J. | Ward and wife of 526 Camp 6 and Bar- | ney Ward of 152 Camp 6. The four masked men were armed with revolvers. Barney Ward was re- licved of $12 and Miles Ward of a few {cents. A satchel Mrs. Ward was ca rying was returned to her when she d it contained noth:ing of value.

NAPA, Aug. 12—Preliminary steps {are now under way for the construe- tion of the new alectrical road to be | built by the Bay County Raillway Com- | pany from this city to San Francisco, a | distance of forty-five miles. | _ The route of the railroad will be from |San Francisce to the Marina County |shore by ferry and from there to Napa by electric road. At Napa the line will | connect with the Napa and Lakeport Railroad. That the company means to start operations soon is evidenced by numerous suits for right of way filed by Alexander Baldwin of San Fran- | cisco, attorney for the company. A suit | was filed last night for the right to lay | tracks over a strip of land consisting of 116.5 acres belonging to J. M. Buchli and Charles Filippini, below Napa, near near Buchli station, s o R CONDITION OF THE SULTAN 1S NOT CONSIDERED SERIOUS Sensational Stories of His Illness Are in Circulation, but They Are Given No Credence. | CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 12.—Call- ers at the palace are told that the Sul- tan was suffering from the effects of a | ehill during the past week, but that he nas completely recovered. His physi- cians, however, advised his Majesty not to risk exposure to the open air, and | hence the abandonment of the Selamlik | Friday. His Majesty's condition was improved | sufficiently today to enable him to at- | tend to various affairs. | The local press is forbidden to pub- lish anything concerning the state of | the Sultan’s health or of the abandor- ! ment of the Selamlik. | Sensational stories of the Sultan's ili- | ness are in circulation, but in best in- | formed circles confirmation is given the | statement that there is a slight im- ! provement in his condition and that he is in no immediate danger. | PARIS, Aug. 12.—The Temps Con- stantinople correspondent reports that the Sultan is suffering from hemorr- hages. Government affairs, he adds, |are at a complete standstill, and the | Embassadors are inquiring at the pal- | ace daily regarding his Majesty's con- { dition. i Laxative Bromo Quinine, Cold | name; Yook DIRT S00N 70 FLY, ROOT'S DIPLOMAGY STIRS TEUTONS. Trade Successes in the Latin Republics New Bete Noir of Germans /i § PRESS HYSTERICAL Speclal Cable to The Call and Herald. Copsright, 1906, Publisting Compuny. BERLIN, Aug. 12 —Germany _is emarting under Segretary Root's suc- cesses in South America. Under such titles as “The American Peril in Bra- z{l” and “Pan-American Tricks” bel- ligerent articles bearing the hall- mark of Government inspiration are appearing In the German press. They attack the United States for inducing Brazil to grant a preferential tariff reduction of 20 per cent on a variety of American products. The articles urge the German Gov- ernment to immediately counteract this move, which {s asserted to be the first step toward the annthilation of the Kaiser's trade in Brazil. It is sug: gested that Germany can offer Brazil two attractive concessions, In return for a preferential tariff, namely, an in- creased. consumption of coffee and in- creased emigration. It is asserted that numbers of Jap. anese are settling in Brazil as the plo- neers of a Japanese commercial in- vasion. The fatherland, therefore, will soon be confronted by the deadly riv- alry of both the United States and Japan. The Kaiser is advised to ex- haust all the means at his command to preserve Germany’'s threatened in- terests before the ‘“extraordinarily clever diplomacy of the United States, which has already removed the old time Brazilian antipathy to North Americans, achieves stlll greater tri- umphs.” The'Rheinsch-Westfaelische Zeitung, the organ of the Germen Industrial party, reprints with caustic comments New York by St Herad the pan-American statement which Prince Bulow gave out July 24 It says: “We hope the Chicago Daily News was not really authorized to make the unfortunate statement that Germany's interests in South America are exclu- sively commercial, because we have political interests in Brazil and else- where which are constantly violated and which Germany ought to defend with the same fearlessness as it would defend its interests in the case of a week state.” MONTEVIDEQ, Aug. 12.—With a gen- eral desire to make the entertainments in honor of Secretary Root as numerous and varied as possible during his brief visit here there was an Incessant round of functions today, at each of which cordial gpeeches were exchanged. The entertainments were brought to a close tonight by a banquet given by Mr. O'Brien, the American Minister, and a grand ball at the Uruguay Club, both of which were highly-successful. The guests at the banquet, which was on a magnificent scale, included President Ordonez and all the Cabinet Ministers and their wives, the leading citizens of Montevideo and officlals. Secretary Root's speeches have won the s athles of the people here and the principal newspapers express their gratification at the eloquent and frank declaration of the true policy of the United States toward the Latin-Ameri~ can republics. h RIb DE JANBIRO, Aug. 12,—Presi- dent-elect Penna, who touring Southe® Brazil, in 'a speech at Santa Caterina today declared that the alleged German peril was imag- inary and said that nowhere were there better citizens than German Brazilijans. He clted the case of Dr. Lauro®Muller, Minister of Industries and Public Works, as an illustration of a patriotic Brazilian, though the son of German parents. SCOTTY BUTTSINTO THE THAW CASE. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 12.—Walter Scott, otherwise known gs “Scotty,” of Death Valley fame, avers solemnly that | Stanford White once showed him a re- | volver with which he Intended to kill Harry Thaw, and that he (Bcotty) valorously disarmed the architect. It | was this way, according to Scotty: “When I was a cowboy with Buftalo Bill's show in Madison Square Gar- | den I met Stanford White. One night pwe were dining together when I had a | controversy with a wine agent whose | brand I had characterized as ‘rotten.’ After he had left White sald to me: ‘From the way you tglked to that man I thought vou mighy have occasion to kill him." Then, looking me square in the eye, he said: ‘Seotty, I'm going to kill my man tonight. That Thaw and his wife are here and I'm going to get him." “You could not indicate in print the things he said about the Nesbit girl. He coupled her name with a lot of waiters in the garden. “Well, I had nothing to do with White's quarrel, but I did not ' want to see him get into any bad affair, so I got him into a side room to talk it over. I asked him if he had a gun and he said he had and Intended to use it, and he half pulled a business-like piece of artillery out of his pocket. I grabbed it and we had flu‘ktle a_little scrap, but T finally got the gun. White miscalled me a little, intimating I was a ‘four-flusher' and other things, but I let him talk and joshed him back, giving him some advice about how to kill a man in proper shape, and stuck the gun in my pocket.” PITTSBURG, Aug. 12—Harry K. Thaw was once arrested and fined here for annoying a 17-year-old girl. She attracted his notice and he began plaguing her, at first with letters beg- ging her to meet him, which later were accompanied with flower” -~nd agnan sive boxes of candy, and finally with inclosures of money, the uitimate in- closure being a $560 bill. Under advice the girl made an appointment and Thaw, whose identity with the mas was not then known, was arrested. :haw vald a fine for disorderly con- uet. ‘ —_—— Californians gt Eastern Resorts.

All the others who were on the platform, from which they were un- able to escape when the colliston oc- curred, owing to the fact that both Bates of the platform were closed and locked, were caught like rats in a trap. Passengers inside the car were in scarcely less peril. They had no chancé te escape by Jjumping. As the steel-shod buffer of the motor car tore its way through the side of the Telegraph-avenue car seats were torn from the floor and passengers were tossed about like ships. Directly op- posite the point at which the motor car struck @ Street ®ar were seated Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Thrall of 1452 Caroline street, Alameda, Miss Margaret Thrall. the car gave way before the impact of the heavy train through the air to the opposite side of the car and striking one of the windows fell into the street outside. Her mother and father were also thrown from their seats and were pinioned in the car by the @islodged seats and splintered tim- bers. EVERY WINDOW SHATTERED. Bvery window in the 'street car was shattered and flying glass and splin- ters caused havoc among the pagsen- gers. Several of the latter were thrown through the windows of the car and were painfully lacerated by the jagged edges of tue broken glass. Among those who recplved injuries manner were Captain. F. B. Dillon of the Los Angeles baseball team and Shortstop Wheeler of the San Fran- clsco Baseball Club. Dillon sustained a deep gash over one eye and his hand Wwas cut, and Wheeler received a num- ber of deep wounds, @ most seriously injured of the passengers on the Telegraph-avenue car was James St. John, who was, it is believed, on the front platform with the motorman. St. John was thrown from the car only to be caught beneath the front end of the motor car as the body of the latter was torn from its trucks, and dropped to the ground. His leg Was caught under the step of the car and pinned to the ground. He lay moaning with pain until the step was chopped away to release him. Both bones of his right leg were crushed Just above the ankle and his left arm was fractured. He also sustained deep lacerations on his face and right knee. PASSENGER'S RIBS BROKEN. Others among the injured were D, V.

Burton, whose scalp was gashed by a piece of gla: and L. Several of the latter's ribs were broken. Edna Radford, daughter of Captain’ James Radford of San Fran- clsco, was injured about the hips and spine. ¥ None of the passengers on the Key Route train were injured, though they were thrown from their seats and shaken up when the train crashed into the car. The train was in charge of Motorman Al Broder and Conductor W. Noone. The former, when aw the avenue car cross the track ahead of his train, made every effort, according to witnesses of the accident, to stop the train in time to avoid a cellision, but th. weight of the traln was too much for the combined force of the reversed motors and the brake: FLAGMAN MAKES SIGNAL. The train had left the station at Pied- mont bound for the pier, and on ap- proaching Telegraph avenue had begun to slow up for the stop. When the mo- tor-car was within less than a hundred feet of the Telegraph-avenue crossing =2 car No. 266 of the Telegraph-avenue line shot across the path of the ap- proaching train, although the crossing flagman was at his post, waving a warning that the train was coming. As he saw the car and realized that it could never cross the track in time to escape, Motorman Broder locked the airbrakes of his train and attempted to stop by throwing the full strength of his ‘powerful motors into the reverse, but the headway of the train was too great. Broder did not attempt to es- cape from the platform of his car, but stuck to hig post and was still trying to bring the train to a stop when the cars met. He was hurled forward by the shock of the collision and struck the window In front of his controller, The glass was broken, but Broder was not badly injured. The moment that his train was brought to a halt he joined in the work of rescuing the in- jured. S CARS HURLED FROM TRACK. So great was the force of the col- lision that the car was hurled clear of the rails by the shock and the front end was carried around by the motor-car of the train until both coaches, their hodles torn from the trucks and tilted over, lay. slde by side across the tracks of the southbound Telegraph-avenue cars. The front end of the Telegraph- avenue car was reduced to a mass of eplintered wood and twisted iron and the front of the motor-car was badly wrecked. Almost before the train had come to a standstill and while the passengers of the Key Route train and those of the Telegraph-ayenue car who had escaped injury were working frantic- ally to extricate the Injured from the wreck. A call for help was telephoned to the Folice and the Fire Hepartments and within a few moments ambulances from the police station and from thé Fabiola and Providence hospitals and the Bast Bay Sanatorium were on the way to the scene of the accldent. At the same time one of the hook and ladder trucks of the Fire Department responded to the call for aid and the firemen Wendered all the assistance possible in remoying the injured from the wreck. AUTOS CARRY INJURED. ‘When the message telling of the wreck was recelved at the Central po- lice station a number of police officers were hurried to the scene, and, as soon as {t became manifest that the num- ber of Injured was too large to be transported to the hospitals by the am- bulances, the officers impressed a num- ber of automabiles, the drivers of which had been attracted to the wreck, and, placing tae wounded in these, hur- ried them to the hospitals. J. C. Morton, residing at 2315 Tele- graph avenue. Berkeley. was standing within less than twenty feet of the spot at which the collision occurred when the train and car came together. So close was Morton that he narrowly escaped being caught beneath the car as it was hurled from the rails. De- scribing the wreck, he said: “I was standing In the street as the Key Route train approached and was not pirln’t much attention to the car as it came down Telegraph avenue, al- though I knew It was coming, for the fag was out in the street, signal- ing the motorman that a train was coming. Suddenly I heard a vell and fEn e o et % e ¢ re the train and L i close that as the car was lifted from fl:“b u:dtprmin and their daughter, | As the side of | Miss Thrall was hurled | in this | ) | et of the car must have been to_ bla for the accident, as the flagman Ww: giving him a signal to stop, but it was not until the train was right on top of the car that he began to slow up and then it almost came to a stop In front of the train. I heard the motor- man of the car say that his brakes would not work, and, of course, this may have been true, but the accident was certainly not the fault of the motorman of the Key Route train.” HODSON HEARS A SHOUT. George Hodson, the Coast League umpire,” who was on the front platform of the car when the collision ecgurred, sajd: “I remember hearing some one shout and 1 turned just in time to see the train as it struck the car. The next thing I knew I was picking my- self up in the street. I° had been thrown eclear through the window at the front of the platform, and when 1 fell 1 just escaped alighting on tracks of the train; which before it stopped ran past me so close that the Wwheels grazed my body. through a window too.” Al Broder, the motorman of the Key Route train, was at a loss to explain the cause of the car running in front of him, as his train had the right of way at the crossi In describing the accident he sal had begun to slow up as the train approached the station and had whistled for the stop when as the train reached a point within le than a hundred feet of the grossing t! car shot ahead of me. Then the motor car struck the other car. I did the best I could to stop, but the traln was too close when the car went across and I could not stop in time with the heavy train. I don't know. whose fault it was, but it certainly was not mine." WRECKERS CLEAR TRACK. As soon as the news of the accident | reached the officials of the Key Route Railroad and Company a wrecking crew, in charge of General Superintendent J. P. Otter, was hurried to the wreck and after several hours of hard work the tracks were cleared. George Fitzgerald, president of the City Council, and E. F. Holland. Deputy City Clerk of Oakland, were among the passengers on the rear platform of the Telegraph-avenue car. Fitzgerald saw the flagman signaling the car to stop. The Key Route train was In sight and a cry went up from the passengers. Fitz- gerald yelled to Holland to jump, jump- ing himself as he did so. Both rolled over and over in the street. He and Holland painfully dragged thémselves to their feet, and Fitzgetald limped to a telephone near by and sent word to the police. He also summoned a fire truck company with appliances to lift the car. Both Holland and Fitzgerald wer bruised and cut. Fitzgerald said: SPEED 1S NOT SLACKENED. “1 saw that the car I was on was not perceptibly slackening its speed, in spite of the flagman’s warning, as the heavy Key Route train approached. The yells of the passengers first attracted my at- tention. I jumped. Holland followed me off the car, just as the crash came. At first glance I considered the motor- man of our car at fault, but afterward it seemed as though the car was so heayily loaded that the airbrakes would not re.pond and the car could not be stopped In time to prevent the collision.” - oss . Margaret Thrall, the 14-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Thrall of 1452 Carolina street, Alameda, with Miss Lelia Toelson, the- 16-year-old daughter of Mrs. I. M. Toelson of 1527% Morton street, Alameda, was hurled through a glass window of the Tele- graph-avenue car. The girls were pulled from beneath the wreckage by Thrall, who plunged through a window to rescue his daughter and her com- panion. The Thrall girl sustalned a wrench to her right ankle and her left side was bruised. Miss ‘Loelson es- caped with a slightly sprained ankle. The Thrall and Toelson families formed a party that visited Berkeley during the afternoon and were on their way to their homes in Alameda. Speaking of the smash-up, sald: Thrall RESCUES HIS DAUGHTER. “Our car was running along at a pretty good clip’' when the collision oe- | curred. My wife and I, with Mr. and Toelson, occupied two seats toward the rear end and on the east side of the car. My daughter, Margaret. and Lelia Toelson occupied seats in the front of the car on the west side. They were sitting facing each other and both were close to the window when the crash came. The girls were shot through the window. I jumped from my seat; forcing my way through screaming passengers !n the aisle and sprang through a window and found Margaret and Lelia lying doubled up and dazed near the side of the partially overturned car. I dragged them out. I believe that the collision was due to the failure of the brakes on our car to work properly. MOTORMAN BADLY HURT. James Smith of 913 San Jose avenue, Alameda, was also a passenger on the Telegraph-avenue car. He was cut by glass. W. A. Pitman, the motorman of the Telegraph-avenue car, is 33 years of age and llves at 648 Fifty-fourth street. He received lacerated wounds on the left side of his upper lip, lacera. tions of the nose and contusion of the left cheek. “I had the right of way, and that is about all I care to say,” said Pitman as he lay on the operating table at the Recelving Hospital. “We were going at the ordinary rate of speed and were within a few feet of the train before| I realized our danger. Thinking that the right of way was minegI had no idea that there could be a collision. I tried to stop, but it was too late. I remember nothing after the cars crashed together until I was picked up. What I know about the cause of the| collision I will tell to the company. I don’t want to talk abouy it now.” At the scene of the wreck Pltmnni the brakes failed to| asserted that work when he tried to put them on after seeing that the collision was im- minent. ST. JOHN HYSTERICAL. St. John, who fell beneath the car, was unable to make any statement, but continually talked about his Imjuries. He was dazed and hysterical. After he had recelved temporary treatment he was taken to East Bay Sanitarium. Blum was taken to Providence Hospi- tal. Dillon and Wheeler, the baseball men, and Miss Edith Parker, Mrs. Hen- ry Dismall, R. E. Rose, Arthur QOlsen and T. C. Cheney were taken to East Bay Sanitarium for treatment.
