THIRTEEN PERSONS HURT
IN STREET CAR WRECK
Electric Vehicles Crash To
gether on the San v
Mateo Line
THREE LIKELY TO DIE
Motorman and Two Passen-
gers Are Perhaps In
jured Fatally
With a. terrific crash two cars of the
Ban Mateo line, running at full epeed,
urn« together head on yesterday at a
point half way between Baden station
and the Twelve Mile House. Eleven
passengers, many of them women, and
the motormea of both cars, were in
jured. Three persons were so badly
hart that they may die. The injured
were placed on a third car und rushed
to this city, where two were taken to
the hospital and others to their homes.
The conductors escaped Injury.
At 12:S0 p. m. car No. 1256, Inbound,
in charge of Motormah L. N. Buzzard
and Conductor E. Nicholl, was tied up
at Holy Cross by a car ahead of it
which had been derailed at that point.
In order to get around it and continue
on their trip the crew decided to go
back one mile to a "switch over" and
pass the derailed cat on the outbound
track.
While this car waa running backward
Rt the rate of twenty miles an hour
car No. 1228, Motornym L A. Gerard and
Conductor Lewis, loomed up suddenly
around the Baden curve but a few rods
iiway, a.nd although both motonnen ap
rtlied the brakes the cars came to
grether with sufficient force to tele
eeope them, strewing the track with
wreckage and blocking the line for
hours.
Motorman Buzzard of the car that
Tra« backing up was probably fatally
injured and was rushed to St. Luke's
Hospital In this city. Mrs. Bessie Jap
pon of South San Francisco was seri
ously out by glass and is thought to
have been infernally injured. She was
taken to a hospital near her home,
where her condition •was pronounced
critical. Miss Vanderbllt of San Mateo
Tv-as thrown the length of the car and
suffered greatly from the shock. Her
condition is also serious. But for the
fact that the car which was responsible
for the accident and which wae the
more badly damaged of the two carried
but three passengers, all of whom were
hurt, the list of Injured would have
bo*»n much greater. ,
The United Railroads disclaims all
responsibility for the accident and
states that the car was run backward
contrary to rules. The shutting off of
the power, which occurred at about the
lime of the collision, delayed the
wrecking car for two hours longer
than was necessary and seriously hin
dered the work of securing medical
treatment for those who were hurt.
A list of those who were less seri
ously hurt, most of whom were bruised
stnd shaken and many of whom were
rut by flying glass, follows: Mrs. M.
Conaghy. 112 Bush street: Mrs. M. P.
Da vies, San Mateo; Mrs. W. A. Blake
ly, San Mateo; Mrs. J. Alexander, 3121
California street; A. N. Caster, San
Bruno road; J. Smith. 1114 Tork street;
Mrs. IS. Harris, SS2T Army street; E. E.
Murphy. Burlingame, and one other
who refused to leave his name.
CAR KILLS PEDI-STIUAX
Man Mrp« In Holr Wnflr Crossing
Trackn and Is Ran Over
Morris O. Kane, an aged hackdriver.
\u25a0while crossing the tracks of the United
llailroads at Eightoenth and Valencia
streets last night, stepped in a hole left
between the ties by careless workmen
nnd was struck by a speeding car and
fatally injured. An ambulance call was
sent In, but when the hospital corps
arrived Kane was pronounced <oead and
the Coroner notified. Without waiting
for the arrival of that official, how
ever, employes of the street car com
pany placed the body on a car and
carried it to Fourteenth street and
thence down to Mission, when the Cor
oner's deputy arrived on the scene and
took the dead man in charge. The
motorman, C. Mesusan, was arrested
on a charge of battery. It is likely
that a warrant will be sworn out for
the arrest of the man who caused the
removal of the dead man from the
place where he was killed.
Hnil,El) FROM A STREETCAR
T. B. Walcntaush, a carpenter living
at 3972 Seventh street, was seriously
injured when car 1573 of the Mission
and Twenty-ninth streets line collided
with a wagon of tl*ft..Stockton Milling
Company while going at a rapid rate
yesterday morning at the corner of
Seventeenth and Valencia streets. Wal
entaush was standing on the steps at
the time of the accident and was hurled
to the pavement by the force of the
collision. He was found to be suffering
from serious laceration of the scalp,
and the surgeons of the City and Coun
ty Hospital feared that he might be
suffering from Internal injuries.
DELAYS PUTTING MEN
ON EIGHT-HOUR DAY
A penny saved is a penny earned is
tin adage which the United Railroads
accepts, but in applying the precept it
Is not overcareful whose penny It
saves. ,
The construction workers employed
In laying the new tracks for the road
have been victimized by the rapacity
of Calhoun's corporation to the extent
of several thousand dollars by . the,
latest scheme of the expert statisti
cians of the company. By the terms
of the award of the board of arbitra
tion these men were given an eight
hour <say,« but ten days expired before
the change was made yesterday. Dur
ing these ten days the men were com
pelled to work nine hours dally, as
heretofore. The men threatened a
strike, but the powers of the corpora
tion took their time, and when the ten
days had passed It was easy mathe
matics to reckon that 4000 had been
forced to donate an hour's work daily
for ten days to the penny-wise fran
rhise manipulators, who had pocketed
the neat- little sum of $10,000 by u the
• operation. But. then, a penny saved Is
« penny earned, and Patrick Calhoun Is
no respecter of persons.
The track workers have another
grievance. While they were willing to
work one' month at $2.25 'per day be
fore their pay was raised to $2.50, yet
they feel they are justified In object-
Ing to being discharged on the 28th
or 29th day, to be hired again with
the privilege of working another
month at probation wages. As these
men are known to Calhoun's statisti
cians only by number, the company
claims that its records do not show
that No. 2.785.562 had ever, swung a
pick in the cause previously. A penny
saved Is a penny earned — but not by
the track workers.

Beauty Contests Now
Feature at Dances
IN last Sunday's Call appeared the first page of photographs
received in the great beauty contest now being carried on by
The Sunday Call. There will be more next Sunday. Each week
there will be a bigger collection from which to select. This col
lection cannot be too large. Send in the photographs of all your
beautiful women friends. The Sunday Call needs them. Six thousand
photographs were received by the Chicago Tribune in its beauty con
test, in which Miss Delia Carson was adjudged the most beautiful
woman in Chicago. The Chicago Tribune's boast that she is the most
beautiful woman in America must be refuted by The Sunday Call.
That most beautiful woman in California must be found. You can
aid. Send photographs to the Beauty Editor, The Call.
Innovation Aids in Search for
California's Fairest Women
At a dance In Oakland last week a
vote was taken to decide which were
the prettiest girls on the floor, and the
photographs of the three favorites
were sent to The Sunday Call, to be
entered in the State beauty oontest.
At the same time in P&sadena some
one had a similar thought at an even
ing party, but only one photograph
was sent from there.
This new possibility of an excuse
for a dance undoubtedly will be taken
up generally by the young people of
the State, eince two geniuses have
thought of It already. The details of
the Pasadena affair are lacking, but
that In Oakland must have been very
pleasant. The idea was sprung as a
surprise. The young man who had
this brilliant plan also sent the pho
tographs to The Sunday Call and told
of the occasion.
HOW THE VOTE WAS TAKEN
"I saw , The Call's announcement of
Its beauty contest, but could not de
cide which girl to send a picture of
to The Call. So when I went to the
dance given by our club the other
night I looked around at the girls and
couid not make up my mind. Some
were prettier than others, some were
daiK. some blonde, and I didn't know
which was the prettiest. « I was the
chairman- of the committee, so I went
out on the floor and announced at
the end of the sixteenth dance that
there was going to be a vote by all
the men to decjde who was the pret
tiest girl In the room. The girls
blushed when the fellows began to
look around to see which was the
prettiest After the votes were all
handed in I appointed a committee to
count them and the three whose pho
tographs are inclosed \u25a0were so nearly
even on the v*ote that we decided to
get photographs of all of them and
send them in with our Indorsement.
The girls did not know at first what
it was' all about, but when I told them
In a little speech they all liked it, and
I was the most popular man there. The
girls were all so pretty that I would
have liked to send them all in, but I
thought that would be too much of
a good thing."
At a dance it is usually a question
of who can dance the best, rather than
who is the prettiest, but this Oakland
club seems to have followed the beauty
qualification rather than the dancing —
or, perhaps, they both go together.
That will have to be left to be de
cided by the young men In other places
In the State who see a suggestion for
a. good time In this beauty contest
dance.

GAS RATE IS FIXED
AT EIGHTY-FIVE CENTS
Water and Electric Light
Measures Also Passed
by Supervisors
When the gas rate measure came be
fore the Supervisors yesterday for final
passage there was no evidence of de
sire on the part of any Supervisor to
discuss it. The roll was called and
the ordinance fixing the rate at 85
k*entB became a law by 11 votes to 4.
f The noes were voted by Coffey, Lon
i ergan. I McGushin and Haxrigan. who
! wanted 75-cent gas. Phillips and Box
| ton were absent.
The water rate bill was passed with
out comment. It fixes the rates to be
charged by Spring Valley at the same
figure fixed in 1906, but which has not
be*n .enforced by the water company
lowing to the' litigation pending since
11902. The Spring Valley's refusal to
collect the fixed rates is\he basis of
the present movement to declare the
company's property forfeited to the
city.
The electric light rate of 9 cents
per thousand kiLowatt hours, and con
taining discounts from, S to 40 per cent,
was finally passed.
In a list of appropriations* passed/ to
print by the Supervisors were the In- j
teresting Items of 560,000 to meet the
demands of the Board of Works for
labor and'materlals._l3o,ooo for clean-
Ing the streets and $35,000 for the con
struction of quarters for the Superior
Courts at Bush and Stockton streets. :
The cum of- $66,000 was also-appro
priated In an ordinance passed to j>rint
to pay the cost of moving back' the
curbs three feet on each side of Fourth,
street, between Howard and Freelon.
An appropriation of $5000 was finally
ordered for the purchase of the new
Green-street engine house.
Mrs. Lovell White, president of the
Outdoor Art League section of the Cali
fornia Club, sent a communication /f
the Supervisors urging -aem to secure
means for the extension of Montgom
ery avenue to Market street.
An ordinance regulating the con
struction and use of planing mills and
establishing fire limits was. passed to
print. It provides that no building
1 except of class a, B or C construction
shall be used as a planing mill, saw
mill, sash and door factory or furni
ture factory, unless the same be of
"mill construction," with exterior walls
and roofs of corrugated Iron.
The ordinance authorizing certain
changes in the Southern Pacific's Bay
Shore cut-off was- finally passed. It
provides for a branch .leaving the
Southern Pacific near Fifteenth avenue,
connecting with the Santa ' Fe at Q
street.
The board finally passed the ordi
nance fixing April 8 as the date upon
which bids would be received for the
remaining school bonds, amounting to
$2,614,400.
A protest from A. Sbarboro, presi
dent of the Italian-American Bank,
against the proposed reduction of the
width of the Montgomery-street side
walks was referred to the street com
mittee. '' . .: . . - ,
A protest from . property . owners
against the action of the United
Railroads In covering up manholes .at
Corbett avenue and 4 Ashbury, street
was referred to thn same committee. •
A large number, .of stabTc./ permits
was granted and the board passed fin

THE BAS-:-¥RA3SKJIBOO:,CAI^^^TnmbAYi<-mßm.^^mii
Pasadena there was merely a note say
ing that the lady of whom the photo
graph was taken was "voted tne most
beautiful in a select gathering here the
other evening."
Evidence of the Interest taken In The
Sunday Call's beauty. contest is shown
by the activities of newspapeYs
throughout the State, each anxious to
win for Its community the honor of
having California's most beautiful wo
man. Something of this - enthusiasm
Is shown In the following:
The Viealia Times Bays: **The San
Francisco Call has begun a contest to
find the most beautiful woman in Cali
fornia. Both the Merced and Hanford
papers have come to the front with the
assertion that The Call's beauty editor
could save himself much trouble and
worry by coming directly to their
cities. Only a becoming and proper
modesty refrains us from saying that
Visalia has long been and still is famed
for Its pretty girls and beautiful wo
men and should by all right be the
first and last city to be considered by
the aforespid beauty man."
MOXTERET IX THE RACK
Monterey does not Intend to let the
beauty contest pass by without a good
fight. The Monterey Cypress says of
the beauty contest: "The credit and
favorable attention gained for Mon
terey County by Miss Rose Breschlnl of
Blanco winning the first prize In The
San Francisco Call's gold contest makes
it most desirable that Monterey County
should be worthily represented In The
Call's current beauty contest. Femi
nine loveliness is fortunately so abun
dant In fhis favored region that, the
only difficulty will be In the selection
of the best local specimens. As every
eye is said to form its own beauty, the
only way will be to let The Call's beau
ty expert decide which is the fairest."
The Modesto Herald askes the fol
lowing .pertinent question: "Who are
the most beautiful women in Stanislaus
County?" and continues:
'"The San Francisco Call has accepted
the gage thrown down by an Eastern
paper, which declared that the Eastern
States have the most beautiful women
Jn the world, and will run a beauty
contest to show that California has
beautiful women as well as climate,
alfalfa and other. things.
"The Call wants the best pictures of
Stanislaus women It can obtain, and if
you regard your wife or sweetheart or
sister as the most beautiful woman in
the world her picture should grace the
picture gallery of The Call. Photog
raphers are invited to take especial at
tention, as artistic posing and flnelfln
ißhlng work have as much to do with a
woman's pictured beauty as the sub
ject herself."
BOARD SHELVES DAVIS'
FIRETRAP ORDINANCE
Attempt of Supervisor to
Legalize the Dangerous
Showhouse Defeated
Supervisor Gallagher turned a cold
shoulder to his \ confrere, Sam Davis,
at yesterday afternoon's nieeting of
the board and consigned to oblivion
the ordinance intended to legalize flre
trap theaters. Davis owns a firetrap
theater. In addition to that, by an in
decent play he aroused the unfriendli
ness of the Irish people' of the city.
Irishmen know how to fight. A dozen
of them, led by Attorney John H. Allen,
and consulting a committee appointed
for the purpose by the United Irish
Societies, appeared at the Supervisors'
chambers to voice their protests
against flretraps in general and the
Davis firetrap in particular.
They arrived at 2 • o'clock and were
in evidence In the corridor and the
clerk's office until 3, when the board
was called to order t>y Mayor Schmitz.
Then the Irish committeemen lined up
in the lobby to await developments,
though before that it had been whis
pered that the matter would not be
heard.
When the title or the ordinance was
read for final passage, Gallagher arose
and suggested that it be referred back
to the fire committee, whence It came.
There was no protest and back It went.
The committee is headed by Super
visor McGushin. There is a belief that
he has a snug little pigeon-hole in
his official desk. After the meeting he
declared that the measure would not be
heard from again and he said that "the
board would not have stood for any
thing like that anyhow."
The ordinance in question provided
for the installation of certain .Inex
pensive fire equipment and other things
calculated to reduce the hazard in the
Davis and like temporary amusement
places of "one story"' that have sprung
up since the fire.

HALT IN LITIGATION
Delay Due to Non- Arrival of
Papers to Be Served in
the Suit
SPECXAIi DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
BOSTON. March 11.—- There was a
sudden halt today In the Christian Sci
ence suit, due, it is said, to some new
move to be made by Senator Chandler,
senior counsel for Glover. The papers
to be served on the Boston defendants
did not arrive and service was delayed
until tomorrow. Frederick TV. Peabody
Intimated that he would serve the pa
pers himself. , \u25a0 •
A rumor was current !n Concord that
counsel for the plaintiff would apply to
Judge Peasle of Manchester for an in
junction, but the lawyers are reticent.
Several more of Mrs. Eddy's letters
to her aon were received |by Senator
Chandler today. In one of these Mrs.
Eddy addressed her son as an outcast
and warned him not to enter her home.
She wrote: : JVji^r;
Mr home Is simply a house and a beanttfal
landscape. There Is not one is It that I lore
only as I lor* ererybody. I har« no congeniality
with my help laslde my bouse. They are not
my companions and are scarcely fit to be my
help.
I adopted a son, hoping he would take Mr.
Frye's place as my bookkeeper and. man of all
work, but his trial prove* another disappoint
ment. His' books could not be audited, they
were so Incorrect. Mr. Frye Is the most dis
agreeable man that can be found.
One of , the Important features of. the
coming legal proceedings will be the
production of evidence that Mrs., Eddy
was not only held In the greatest respect
and veneration by her followers, but
was even worshiped by some of -the
more ardent Christian Scientists;
that prayers to her were said by
some of the faithful, and that
other followers had kissed the stone
steps at Pleasant View after Mrs/ Eddy
had passed over them, while still others
had left much money and jewelry at
Mrs. Eddy's home. To present all this
in evidence many church members will
be summoned or their depositions
taken.
The State Board of Registration -In
Medicine for Massachusetts has given
up the fight before the Legislature for
the passage of rigorous restrictive leg
islation on the right to practice .med
icine in this State. As a consequence
the Christian Scientists, osteopaths,
Spiritualists and members of other
cults _ are rejoicing. The question of
what constitutes medical practice will
be left to the courts for a decision.
WANT EVIDENCE AS TO
HEBBARD'S INCOMPETENCY
Committee of Three Asks
That Complaints Be
Filed in Writing
The committee-of three appointed by
the Bar Association to digest the evi
dence of Judge Hebbard's recent noto
rious conduct on and off the bench met
yesterday afternoon and decided to call
for written statements from attorneys
and litigants and from any others who
might have evidence showing that Heb
bard was incompetent to .act as a Su
perior Judge.:
All three members of the commitee,
Attorneys. Matt Sullivan, Robert T.
Devlin and Samuel Knight, were pres
ent ,at the meeting, which was held
in Sullivan's office at 6 o'clock. After
the meeting Attorney Sullivan made
I the following statement:
We have decided to call for written statements
from attorneys . and litigants settluz forth what
they may know of the alleged improper, conduct
of Judge Hebbard on the bench, and also of any
of his habits off the bench fhat would show that
he was unilt to retain his' place. Any eTidence
that would bear on his qualification as a Jud?e
will be' receded, bat we do not want hearsay
or anything but written ' statements. We shall
Also - ask for statements from attorneys and
. litigants as to any abuse which they hare suf
fered in Judge Bebbard's department.
1 - We shall call upon* Attorney Heney to make a
statement before us. I hare no doubt that he
; will be willing ,to do so. The assertions that
he has already made hare been very strong.
After we hare the eridence, if It prores to
be sufficiently, strong, we will present it to the
grieTance committee of the Bar Association.'
The. time- of. the next meeting*"of the
committee of three will be v announced
; later.

LETTER FROM HERMANN
GAVE NECESSARY DATA
Sorenson Says He Used It
to Induce Purchase of
Forest Land
WASHINGTON, March 11.— The trial
of Blnger Hermann was. resumed today,
beginning Its fifth week. George Soren
son of Portland took the stand.
« He was asked concerning a letter
said to have been written by Blnger
Hermann to Attorney Mays of Port
land, and said that he had used the
letter to Induce .persons to buy lands
in forest reserves. His recollection of
the lettef was " that It gave the S loca
tion, township and range of the lands
temporarily withdrawn, and which were
later - included In the Blue Mountain
forest reserve. He said that he had an
indistinct recollection Athat the letter
gave assurances that | the ; lands de
scribed would be included in the. re
serve.
Sorenson was questioned regarding
his retention of the late Senator. Mitch
ell of Oregon as his attorney. He had
promised to pay Senator Mitchell; $500
to assist In getting the Blue Mountain
forest reserve created, he said. He said
he never did pay Mitchell anything.
1 Some time after he retained Mitchell as
: his attorney Mitchell told him; that; he
had a letter from Binger Hermann, and
advised Sorenson to get up a petition,
signed by prominent citizens in Oregon,
asking for the creation of the reserve.
The witness , got j this petition up. He
did not'know the contents of the letter
from Hermann \u25a0to Mitchell, but said it
was very short.

is expected to deliver this week. It
\u25a0wfa.s decided to avoid any pretext for
extreme measures by the administra
tion. The party will refrain from dem
onstrating, will listen to the Premier
in silence, and thereafter will proceed
to the regular business of the house,
without any especial resolution to that
effect. '
If the Socialists move a vote of lack
of confidence !ji the Government the
Constitutional Democrats, will propose
a resolution that the Douma. havins
heard the "declaration of the Premier,
proceed to the regular order of »the
day. -
The social revolutionists and the
group of toil have adopted virtually
the same decision.
