JAMMEO BETWEEN CARS,
Serious Accident to Superin-
tendent Rudolph on the
Twelfth. Street Line.
While Trying to R place a Car the
Timber Slipped and He Was
Caught

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
908 Broadway, March 25.
w. F. Rudolph, the superintendent of
F. M. Smiths consolidated lines, was
caught between two cars tonight and
may die. The accident occurred in the
center of the city at Twelfth and Wash
ington streets. and was witnessed by a
large crowd of people.
A car OF tho Twelfth-street line was off
the track and another car was being used
to help place it on the rails.
Mr.. Rudolph was personally superin-
tending the operation. To facilitate mat
ters, piece of wood about four feet long
was being used. 1t was placed in posi-
tion which it was anticipated would push
the car back on the track.
Rudolph stood between the cars, which
were just four feet apart, and gave the
order to back mp. The carman at once
obeyed his chiefs order, but the wood did
not hold and the two cars flew together
with the superintendent between.
He was jammed SO severely that one
dashboard was broken. The cars recoiled
and Rudolph, still unconscious, was
picked up. He was carried to a drug
store and it was found that his left leg and
thigh were frightfuily shattered. He also
received other internal injuries, the extent
of which cannot be yet ascertained.
II am done for; take me home before l
die, exclaimed the sufferer as he was car
ried into the store. He was place in the
patrol wagon and taken to his home.
There doctors attended Mr.. Rudolph
and they stated at midnight that his life
need not be despaired of unless internal
injuries prove worse than present iniica-
tions lead them to believe.

The Olympic Club Will Endeavor to
Secure a Match for April.
The Olympic Club directors met last
evening and decided to give Howard Tay-
lor, the leader Of the club. full power to
act with regard to the making of matches
for the clubs professional fstic carnival,
which will be held in Mechanics Pavilion
some time in April.
Mr.. Taylor ssid that he had tried every
means to get Tommy Ryan of Syracuse,
n. Y, TO meet George Green, but that the
Eastern fighter is evidently afraid to meet
the clever Californian.
To-day Mr.. Taylor will wire Peter
Maher and Joe Choynski regarding the
amount of purse they would consent to
fight for in this City.
If Choynski refuses to meet Maher
an off will be maGe to Tom Sharkey,
but the friends OF the latter say that the
sailor has wholesome respect for the big
right fist of the Irishman and will conse-
quently demand purse which he knows
the Olympic Club, or any other club for
that m after, cannot afford to give. Judg-
ing from the present outlook it is almost
safe to say that the Olympic Club will get
twenty round go between Choynski and
Maher.

Claims That There Are Too Many
Fads Taught Hlgh.School
Cours. TCo Short.

Superintendent of Schools Reginald h.
Webster has taken hold OF the reins of
government in his new Office with a firm
hand and is preparing to present some i'm
portant measures to the consideration of
the Board of Education at an early date.
Mr.. Webster is of the opinion that there
are too many fads occupying the attention
of the pupils in the primary schools and
that several of them snoul1 be eliminated
in order that the scholars may have more
time to devote 20 such necessary branches
as reading. writing and arithmetic.
81 have been looking closely into the
matter of the bran ches taught primary
school children" said Mr.. Webster yes
terday, land i have come to the conclu-
sion that some of them may be left out of
their studies and never be missed. There
are too many fads and too little of COM
mon school studies.
"For instance, sewing and cooking
might be dropped, or at least curtalled,
and reading and writing and arithmetic
given more lime. Drawing and music
are very nice accomplishments, but fail
to see why they should occupy so much
time and attention. They seem to me
better suited for the leisure hours of the
children when at home. l shall recon-
mend to the board that some changes
along the lines be made.
Another matter that / shall cali to the
attention of the board is the length OF the
high school course. / think that three
years is too little and that better results
would be attained if it were increased to
four years. We would turn out more fin
ished pupils who would reflect greater
credit on the department"

Sunnyside Residents Present Their
Grievance to the Board of

Club have been appointed to draft petit
ton to the Board of Education, asking for
the location of primary school in the

one which was presented about two years
ago, when the property-owners donated
four lots, at Flood avenue and Edna street,
to the City, having been promised that
the building would be erected before July
1, 1896 The City accepted the land. The
plans were prepared, and bids were ac-
cepted last year for the new school, but
the Board of Education found that it
would be i'm possible to erect the building,
because there was not sufficient money IN
the fund.
The present application is made in time
for both the Supervisors and the School
Directors to provide in the next tax-Ievy
sufficient funds to erect the building.
In addition TO the need of school the
residents have still another cause of COM
plant, and this is the inconvenience of
reaching either the San Jose or the Mis-
sion road except by q rounda bout journey
of over two miles. An outlet is desired
through the market gardens, which now
block traffic between Sunnyside and the
Excelsior Homestead.
With the railroad track of the Southern
Pacific Company running along there
under a deep cut, it is thought that
bridge leading out of Bemis into Thirty
fourth street would answer the purpose
and be q benefit to all concerned.

A RELIC OF ROYALTY.

1t Is Found in One OF the Principal
Churches of New York.
Though few are aware of the fact men,
bers of the congregation of old ST. PauPs
Church gaze every Sunday at the arms of
the future King of England. On the can
opy of the old-fashi ioned pulpit, which is
one of the. pepper. box style of century
ago, are the three ostrich feathers and the
crown that for many generations haye
constituted the arms OF the Prince OF
Wales, the heir to Britain's throne. The
feathers stand out gracefully in the center
of the oak canopy. They are all carved
wood. handsomely gilded. and form an at
tractive ornamentation to the pulpit.
With these royal arms over his head the
minister W no officiates in st. PauPs Church
on Sunday reads the services of the Amer
ican church.
1t is said that these roysl arms
survived the storms of the Revolu-
tionary days. An lncensed mob travelled
dence had been declared, destroying every
sign representing the monarchy from
whose chains they had cut themselves
free. Nothing was regarded as being
sacred by this mob.
The royal arms were everywhere at that
time. on the windows of stores whose pro-
prietors had been proud Of this means of
they had supplied his Majesty ships with
salt pork or bareback; on the lamp posts
at the street corners, and swinging from
the front porches of the old inns. Win
dows on which the royal symbols ap-
peared were ruthlessly smashed by the
mob, the lamp posts were hurled TO the
ground and the inns deprived of their
signs in short order.
1t was time when to be client of
royalty brought man into dangerous
prominence. and many wise storekeepers
escaped mob violence and saved the de-
stroying party the trouble of smashing
their signs by doing the work themselves.
The royal arms of England were hard to
find in New York City when the mob had
completed it's tour. Some few signs es-
capped the ruin, but not for long. They
were smashed as soon as attention was
called to their presence.
The relic in ST. Paul's Church was passed
unnoticed, and has survived to this day.
1t is certain that the mob somewhat
overlooked its existence, for no respect for
the sacredness of church editice would
have deferred it from laying the pulpit in
ruins had the presence OF the feathers and
crown of Wales been pointed out.-New
York Times.

Three seductive plates OF steaming,
wholesome beans and three small glasses
OF amber lager proved the malign agen-
cies that cast desoIation into the very
souls of three of San Francisco's finest
policemen late last Wednesday night.

and Dennis ]. Daley went to work on
Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock. light
hearted and awake to duty. Unfortu-
nately. however, the paths of the three
guardians Of the peace crossed one an
other and at an unlucky moment about IL
o'clock, when all was silent, they met at
Bush and Montgomery streets.
All were hungry and all were thirsty
and after glance around the trio entered
the Forum saloon in quest OF refreshments.
They were shortly seated at table, their
coats un nbutioned and belts on the floor,
enjoying their cIandestine meal.
The hand of misfortune was lowering
over them, however, and just as all bad
assumed a position of absolute abandon.
Police Commissioner Nose Gunst and
Police Captain Whitman strolled into the
cafe for cigar.
The surprise was mutual, but Captain
Whitman soon managed 10 pull his SCAT
tered thoughts together.
He elcquently expostulated with his
subordinates for their peculiar actions
and ordered the men to the station.
They went. of course, and Mr.. Gunst
nodded approval-he was too benevolent
to give vent to his pent-up feelings by
word of mouth.
Yesterday Chief Crowley suspended the
three offending officers pending an inves-
tigation by the Police Commissioners.

eating beans between meals, however, re-
mains locked in their minds.

A Claim That the Heiress Is an
Alien and Therefore With
out Standing.
Her Attorneys Are Confident That the
Case Can Have No Standing
in Court.

General w. H. II. Hart has gone to
Washington to look after litigation affect
ing the Blythe estate.
The occasion of tho attorneys visit is
the issuing of q writ of error by Justice
Field of the Supreme Court of the United
States upon the petition of the Kentucky
Blythes, represented by Attorneys Chand-
Ter and Holiday.
1t is believed that the action of the Chief
Justice ill for some time stay the dlstri-
button OF the estate. but the attorneys of
Florence Blythe Hinckley say that the
writ will soon be dismissed by the Su-
preme Court.
Speaking of the matter yesterday, At
torney A. R. Cotton said:
The principal consideration is that II.
T. Blythe and John w. Blythe are not
relatives of Thomas II. Blythe, and con-
sequently are not entitled to have any
voice in the distribution of Thomas II.
Blythe's estate. This fact has been de-
termlned by the courts OF this State.
Upon the showing that the courts of Cali
fornia have SO found, the United States
Supreme Court will not consider the mat
ter long. Not being relatives, these liti-
gants have no more legal right to have
voice concerning Thomas H. Blytbe's es-
tate than any stranger or Indifferent per-
son might have"
The contention of Attorney Holiday
is that Florence Blythe Hinckley is an
alien, having never been in the United
States until after the death of Thomas II.
Blythe. They contend that the courts
of California had no Jurisdiction over the
matter because no treaty was ever made
by the United States giving Florence
Blythe- HlnckIey the rights claimed At
the proper time, it is said, James w.
Pearce will intervene as against Florence
Blythe Hinckley. the contention being
that the Blythe Company and the claim
ant are aliens and cannot proceed under
