OWES INJURY AND HIS LIFE TO MUD CAR CRASHES INTO WAGON, RAILS SLIPPERY A. J. Easton Hurled Prom Vehicle by Vernon Car— Thrown Nearly Hun. dred Feet by Force of Crath Mud caused ft collision last night between a Vernon enr and a wagon orivsn by A. J. Easton of 1340 East Thirty-eighth street, In which Easton was probably fatally injured. That he was not killed Instantly was due only to the mud. The wet adobe soil caused the enr wheels to slip and slide and Easton, who wan endeavoring to cross the tracks at Thirty-eighth street nnd Central avenue, was run down. But the same adobe soil broke the force of the man's fall and saved him from Instant death. In the collision the heavy car was driven through the wagon, smashing Into splinters the seat on which Eas ton had been sitting and knocking doun the team. The wagon was demolished, but the horses were dragged on their sides on the wet, grcascllke mud and escaped without Injury. With one hand Easton was lending a horse behind his wngrm and with the other hnnd he was driv ing the team. When the crash enmo the rope was jerked out of his hand, freeing the animal he was leading. Bystanders seeing the accident rushed to Easton's assistance and, lifting up the unconscious man, enr rled him into a blacksmith shop, where he was revived by a physician. They also notified the police. Late last evening when seen at his house Eas ton was able to talk of the accident with great difficulty. "When I saw the car first I had .reached Central avenue, driving east on Thirty-eighth street. It wns nearly a half block to the north," said Eas ton In broken sentences. "It was not until my team reached the track that I realized how fast it was coming, and then it was too late to do any thing but drive ahead. "With seemingly increased speed the car came down on me nnd that is all I remember." Exhausted with his ef fort In talking Easton lay back on his pillow, gasping. Those who raw the accident say that the motorman was unable to stop his car because of mud. The car men say that the condition of the tracks made It Impossible to hold the car with brakes. . Easton is B5 years old. His head was terribly Injured on the left side and It Is still a question whether the skull is fractured above the temple. His right leg is bruised and the bone is fractured below the knee. The car which struck Easton Is No. 34. From Patrolman Graham it was learned that witnesses to the accident claim that Easton was Injured through the. carelessness of the motorman. ! CLEVELAND HONORS REED Unable to Give Services, but Makes . Generous Contribution to Me morial Fund By Associated Press. PORTLAND, Maine. Nov. 6.— The letter which former President QroVer Cleveland wrote to the Thomas B. 1 Reed memorial association in answer to a request that his name be included In the list of the directors with his con sent, was made public today and is as follows: "Your recent letter asking me to be come a director of the Thomas B. Rood i memorial association is at hand. I had great admiration for Mr. Reed and great respect for his ability. I think it Is eminently proper that his high character and public service should i'O fittingly memorialized. "It seems to me however, that this should be undertaken by those who were nearer to him in every way than I can claim to have been. Another reason, stro^.er than this for hesita tion is- found in my reluctance to be Identified with a project to which 1 cannot give the least attention. I ,am not at all sntisfled to be nominally a /director in such a movement without performing any useful duty and tills ' would be my exact predicament shoul.] I accept such a place in the directorate of your association. "I do not want to be suspected of ungraciousness or lack of interest, but if I may be allowed to modestly con tribute instead of appearing as a di rector I shall feel much more com fortable." The letter was accompanied by a generous contribution. MARE ISLAND, Nov. 6.— The • col lision between the refrigerator ship Celtic and the cruiser Marblehead near the navy yard yesterday was less ser ious than at first thought. The port guns of the Marblehead were sprung bo that they will have to be dismounted and repaired, and her whaling boat valued at $1000 was destroyed. The cruiser's port bridge was slightly dam aged, and a temporary float lying '.ongside with a small amount of ma chinery on board was smashed. Execu tive Officer Knapp was in command ot the Celtic at the time of the accident, which is generally attributed to the north wind which prevailed.

CASH CAUSES FRIGHT Payment of Wages to Laborers In Currency Starts Run on Indiana Harbor Bank I?y Associated Press. CHICAGO, Nov. 6.— Cash payments of wages in Indiana harbor frightened the employes of the big factories there so geatly last week that they started a run on the Indiana Harbor State bank. The financial storm raged for three days and the tempest was quieted solely by the sight of piles of currency and gold which the bank officials placed in view of the ignorant foreigners, who were clamoring for thflir money. The run was at last checked nnd nearly all the money that was drawn out has been re-deposited. The anomalous fright resulted from the fact that the Inland Steel company at the end of the previous week on the regular pay day paid in cash instead of following its old custom of giving the employes checks drawn on the bank. This led to the conclusion that some thing was wrong with the bank and the run ensued.

SLANDER SUIT IS ATTRACTIVE CLUB WOMAN DEFENDANT IN CASE Long Beach Society Leader Charged With Damaging Character of For* mer Domestic — Minister Gives Hit Testimony Prominent memberi of Long Bench society thronged Judge James' depart* ment of the superior court yesterday while the suit of Mrs. Bessie Fleet against Mrs. Adelaide Tlchenor, charg ing slander, wa» being heard. Mrs. Fleet alleged that Mrs. Tlrhe nor, a prominent worker In the Ebell club, had slandered her in that she told several people In Long Beach that Mrs. Fleet had stolen some of her Jewels. Mrs. Fleet, as noon as she learned of the report alleged to have been circulated by Mrs. Tlchenor, filed suit for $10,000 damages. The testimony given by Rev. Charles Pease of the First Congregational church of Long Beach was the most Important taken yesterday, and many residents of Long Beach attended the trial to hear the revelations concern ing communications with the spirit world, which they thought might be brought out in the minister's testi mony. In Mrs. Tichenor's answer to the compalnt filed against her she alleged she had taken the story of the rob bery to Rev. Mr. Pease because she understood he had peculiar powers whereby he could locate stolen jewelry and point out the thief. Denies Story of Spirit Power The first statement made by Rev. Mr. Pease on the witness stand yes terday was a denial of the "spook" allegation against him. "The conversation I had with Mrs. Tichenor occurred on Monday after noon about three weeks after the rob bery of her house," said Rev. Pease. "She had been to my church many times a-nd had heard several of my lec tures in which I told of the powers of psychic science. I had never said I had nny powers whereby I could hold communication with spirits of the other world. I wish to state right here the only statement I ever made with regard to my study of the science was that It fitted one better for the study of thought. ) "In behalf of myself and in behalf of my wife I wish to state further that I have never claimed any powers of the "fake" side of psychic science. Calls on Minister "Mrs. Tichenor's home was robbed on the night of the bazaar of the Ebell club at Long Beach. Prior to that time Mrs. Fleet had been employed occa sionally by Mrs. Tlchenor and when the Jewels were missing from the Tlchenor home Mrs. Fleet was sus pected. "The clay Mrs. Tlchenor called on me, she seemed very mysterious and made sure that everyone was away and that there was no danger of her being over heard. She then told me that she thought I was particularly fitted for the task of discovering her Jewels and that she suspected Mrs. Fleet of the theft. "I told her I would inquire and see what I could do in the matter and a few days later when I called her up nnd told her that I did not think Mrs. Fleet could have possibly been impli cated in the affair, she became angry and hung up the telephone receiver." Many society women of Long Beach were questioned about the alleged slander yesterday and the prosecution closed Its case. A motion for non suit was denied and the wisnesses for the defense will be heard today. Rev. Mr. Pease will testify for the defense."

MAND WORK OF BALFOUR Wives and Daughters of Idle Men Tell Premier That. Unless Some thing is Done Soon to Furnish Oc cupation There Will Be Bloodshed By Associated Press. LONDON, Nov. 6.— The desperate condition of the poor of London was brought to the notice of Premier Bal four today by a remarkable deputa tion of the wives and other women relatives of the unemployed, who did not hesitate to tell the premier that unless something Is speedily done to lessen their suffering there will be bloodshed. "Don't forget that hungry men are desperate men," said one of the speak ers, who all had the same tale to tell of husbands out of work and starving wives and children. The pinched faces and tattered clothing of the women, some of them having babies in their arms, bore eloquent testimony to the truth of their complaints. Enormous crowds of women from all parts of London marched through the streets headed by a deputation which Mr. Balfour received at the office of the local government board. The "Marseillaise" was heard as the procession advanced, perhaps the first time it was ever heard under such cir cumstances in the streets of London. Only forty of the women were ad mitted in the presence of Mr. Balfour. The premier was very sympathetic. He acknowledged that the evil was very real, but he had little to sug gest in the way of alleviation except an expression of hope that public char ity would come to the aid of the un employed. He deprecated the Social istic suggestion that industries should be started at the national expense for the benefit of the unemployed as cal culated to destroy the springs of en terprise and energy of the nation. At the close of Mr. Balfour's "speech of despair" as the delegates described It, Mrs. Crooks, wife of Wm. Crooks, a labor party member of the house of commons, and several other women invited Mr. Balfour to come and live among them for a few months. The premier remarked that he was quite aware that nothing he had said could be other than disappointing. They had his genuine sympathy, and he felt most acutely the magnitude of the evil from which they were suffer ing. A mass meeting of the women was held in the afternoon to hear the re port of the delegation. Mr. Crooks, M. P., and others made speeches. The meeting unanimously .adopted a resolution to continue the fight for the employment of the unemployed and the meeting broke up amid uproarious scenes and the singing of the "Mar seillaise."
