Auditor Snow has adopted the plan
form ulated by Professor f. +. Glow, an
Eastern profess r, in making out his
most recent municipal report. 1t is the
most comprehensive method yet prac-
tced, and shows more at one glance than
it is usual to finu in municipal reports
after several hours study.
Instead OF multitude of small ac-
counts, Mr.. Snow has divided the city 8
expenditures into seven heads. They are
as follows: Main tenance of the city gov
ernment, public safety, public conven-
ience, care of certain classes, higher OBJ
iects, quasi private undertakings payment
of bonded debt and interest
at is the purpose of this report" said Mr..
Snow, "to set forth in the simplest man
ner the income of the city and the cost of
every department for the last fifty years.
Few com plexities will be found salaries,
repairs and new construction appearing in
the department to which they belong, and
clearness has not in any case been sacri-
feed for administrative or any other
reason.
1.-THE hope has been expressed by stu
dents OF munlclpal nnance tnat the form
of report used by the city of Oakland since
1889 will be adopted by ali the cities OF the
United States. and also that a summary of
the expenditures be added for the purpose
of comparison. The plan of this sum-
mary has been the subject of considera BILE
study, and I have concluded to follow in
part Wagner of Germany and Professor
Frederick R. Glow of the United States"

Sunset Limited Crashes
Into the Berkeley
Local.
THREE PERSONS BADLY
INJURED.
Fireman Walter Cornish Jumps
From the Cab and Is
Nearly Killed.
LADIES LEAP HEADLONG INTO
THE MUD.
The Force of the Collision Terriflc
and the Wonder Was That No
Lives Were Lost.

4 OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 19.-Through
the mistake of a signalman the Sunset
Limited crashed into the rear of the Berke-
ley local tonight and three people were
badly hurt.
Several more were seriously shocked,
and that some were not killed is nothing
shorU of miracle.
The Sunset train, with fourteen coaches,
leit the mole at 1920 and was flying
toward tower 4 when the Berkeley local
was seen to be standing on the main line.
There was not time to stop the Sun set,
and although Engineer Carroll applied his
brakes as soon as he could it did not avert
the crash.
The powerful compound engine plowed
into the rear coach OF the Berkeley train,
which was awaiting the signal. The force
OF the collision was terrific and the local
train vas pushed ahead for fully the dis
-tance of three coach lengths.
The locomotive did not seem to feel the
obstruction at first but continued on its
way, cutting into the rear car of the local.
Before Sunset train was stopped it
had com pletely demolished the rear car
and the engine was seriously crippled.
The Berkeley car was full of passengers,
and when they saw that collision was
inevitable they rushed in ali directions
for safety. Three ladies ran out on the
rear platform ana jumped into the N nd.
There has been considerable dredging
done in the nei hborhood of the wreck
recently and the mud in the marsh is still
slushy.
The ladies jumped into it and refused
TO be rescued few minutes later, but al
though drenched with filth they saved
their lives by their action. Before they
had fairly struck the mud the Sunset de-
molished he platform from which they
had just jumped.
Walter Cornish, the fireman on the Sun
set train. is seriously injured. He saw
that COLLISION could not be averted and
before the trains struck he jumped off the
cab.
Unfortunately for him, he jumped to
the left and landed on the heavy rocks
that form the EN- bankment. He was seri-
ously injured by the fall, and it is feared
he is ma. internally.
Mrs. Lorenson, who lives at Seventeenth
ana Kirkbam streets, was unable to get
out of the car in time and was struck by
the wreck. She is very seriously hurt IN
ternally and cut about the body, and it is
feared she may die.
The trainman of the rear of the Berke-
ley train was waving a red light just be-
fore the collision, but it did not have the
tffect of stopping the Sunset.
There was panic in the Berkeley train,

The inquiry was not completed, but it
is safe to say that Judge Campbell will be
exonerated from blame. F. B, O'Brien,
the one-time clerk of Judge Campbell s
court, who made the original charge, was
the first witness. He did not stick to his
story in any Of its essential points. A
mum Der Of other witnesses were examined
and finally Judge Campbell himself was
summoned.
He was piled with questions not only
concernins he Gleason release transac-
ton, but much more, looking to a general
reform in the system of appointments of

Foreman P ixotto said yesterday that
he did not believe the Judge meant to do

his opinion, he used good judgment i'll the

DURRELL A WITNESS.
He Is Asked to Tell Whether Unda's
Saloon Was Kept Open
Too Late.

BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. 19.-Marshal
Lloyd's campaign against Saloon-keeper
linda OF West Berkeley developed new
and startling sensation to-day, when it
was found that LLOYD had summoned as a
witness in the case G. G.. Durreli, Trustee
of Ward 5.
The Marshal is endeavoring to prove
that linda committed perjury in swearing
that his saloon was never kept open after
midnight. Berkeley has an ordinance
prohibiting such establish ments from
doing business after that hour. 1t is said
that Durrell was one of the after midnight
customers of linda, and he was called by
Lloyd to tell what he knows about the
hours kept by the saloon man.
Durrell is one of the Trustees who
framed the ordinance regul ating liquor
establishments. He has represented the
Fifth Ward of West Berkeley since the

The Vaccination Fight.

Withdrawals of statements attributed 10
them, peace reigns.
Inc Health OI0Cer addressed letter TO
the Board of Education, in which he ex-
pressed his opinion of the Lorin member
in no uncertain words. He said:
at is apparent that statement of this
sort, coming from an opponent of vac
cination, is offered in little short of a
malicious and contemplate spiri;, and is
characteristic of that class of carping OBJ
structionists who view life from a 15-cent t
standpoint and place at defiance laws
passed by the State and regarded by many
people Of common sense as beneficial"
Mr.. Norton told of reports that had
come to his ears which he thought iusti-
fed his assertions.
The board again decided that it had no
option but to enforce vaccination, and all
pupils in the public schools will have TO
take the smallpox prevention, except such
as are likely to be injured thereby.
