PASSENGERS IN PANIC
Many Are Hurt in a Mad
Scramble to Get Out
of the Doors.
Two persons were fatally injured
and a dozen or more cut and badly
bruised in a panic following a collision
between two cars of the United. Rail
roads in Mission street, between Sixth
and Seventh, last night. The fatally
injured were:
FRANK G. POLEY, motorman,
San Jose avenue, fractured skull and
spine.
EDWARD JACKSON, porter. 749
Jackson street, fractured skull.
The collision occurred between in
bound £ar 1512 of the Ocean View line
and car 202. used for carrying: water.
The watering car was on the main
track and was getting ready to. back
on a switch when the pole ran off the
wire This left the car, in darkness and
when the passenger car came bowling
along Motorman Polcy wag unable to
see that the track was obstructed be
cause the; eliding doors behind him
•were open and the reflection dimmed
the rays of the headlight.
When the crash came . Poley was
.thrown backward into the passenger,
car. part of which was telescoped with
the car ahead. There were about 30
\u25a0passengers -on the car, and panic broke
>out among them immediately. "Women
were trampled on in the mad rush to
leave the car, and flying glass and
splinters added to the confusion.
"When order was finally restored there
\u25a0were a dozen or more persons .nursing
bleeding faces and arms. Jackson had
been Kitting in the forward part of the
car and was struck by the iron part of
the and knocked sense
less a few feet from where the motor
man lay unconscious. "
Both w«;re taken in an ambulance to
the. central emergency hospital, where
it was said at midnight that they
probably would die.

..Captain of. Police John Mooney is
sued an girder to bis men yesterday to
report all gambling games which were
being, conducted in halls supposed to
be occupied by social . clubs." He \u25a0 raided
one! place and made .43 arrests.
< . Captain Mooney ' asserted last night
that before the. finish of his crusade
against", the gambling dens in the resi
dence section hd; would have' exposed
men -.heretofore "considered above re
proach; men who have legitimate busl-
r ness ''lnterests, but who are not above
I stooping the , level of a gambler to
make -money.: quickly; men- who are
spbnsors.-for.dubs organized with the
sole purpose of conducting /gambling;
games under the guise of social organi

had learned of the existence of . card
cigar machines; which had not be*sn

NOTORIOUS DIVES CLOSED
The : aggressive captain of the Busb
street station has succeeded In closing
; the most notorious of the dives which
have long flourished under alleged mu
nicipal protection.
Captain Mooney put In the whole of
Saturday afternoon on the witness
chair in the grand jury room and made
astounding revelations as to gambling ;
games. conducted in the forbidden dis
trict. He described how certain m<»n
"who \u25a0 were known to be closely con
nected with those "higher up" In the
administration of the city's' govern
ment would take out a charter for the
-organization of a' "social" club, would,
rent a hall or gathering place" and
.would then .conduct all kinds of earn-
blins games without molestation by the
pblicel No pretense at anything .of a
social nature was made and any and all
applicants and their friends were freely,
admitted to the "clubrobm3."
Just to showthe grand, Jury, ami th«
district' attorney that h«j knew what he
was talking "about. Mooney issued or
ders to his men at the changing. of .the
4 o'clock Swatch yesterday .afternoon
that all such: so-called club? which wer«
open last night should be immediately
reported ito the station by telephone.
BAGS, 43 ME.V
Within 15 c minutes 'a , messase was
sent in that half a hundred men were
gambling: in a lar*e room in the rear
ol.a.cigar store at 153S Eddy street.
Mooney had' but two men available*'
but "these two were dispatched - to ' the
number given and succeeded In making
43' arrests. ..Sergeant Flynn and Pa
trolman Graham "surrounded" the den.*
and whlleTone. stood guard the oth«r
hauled the prisoners, a dozen at a time..
In the patrol wagon to the : station.'
There they 'were lined up, old men* and
young, and their; names enteredon the
prison register. All were released later
