FITZGERALD'S FRIENDS
Badly Bruised in a Drown Street Run
away Yesterday

Two women were injured in a runaway
accident on East First street yesterday
afternoon about o'clock. A Mrs. Roller
and friend were driving in buggy to their

out and lit on their heads. Mrs. Roller was
the more seriously hurt, her scalp being
cut at least five inches in length above the
forehead. She was also bruised. Her friend
was bruised and cut about the fact and
sustained otehr injuries. They were car
ried into neighboring houses and the patrol
wagon sent for. When the vehicle arrived
neither of the women would consent to be-
ing removed to the receiving hospital, so
they were sent to Mrs. Rollers home on
Drown street.

scant courtesy, as man named Fitzgerald
refused point blank to divulgs the names
Of either Of the females. claiming to have
excellent reasons for his action. DR.. c. E.

COLLEGE MEN JUBILATf
UNIVERSITY CLUB OUTING AT
TERMINAL ISLAND p.
A Trip on the Ocean and Dinner at the
Tavern-The Toasts and Those
Who Responded

The University club, an organization oil
college men who meet once month to re-
vive old friendships and memories, held
its first outing yesterday afternoon and
evening at Terminal Island, and a most
enjoyable success 1t proved in every par
ticular. A number of the members went
down on the afternoon train and spent a
couple Of hours on the ocean in the gasoline
sloop Dawn. Although no fish were caught,
despite the presence Of several lines, the trip
was greatly appreciated. A dip in the surf
completed the afternoons sport.
On the 5:2s train q jolly crowd went down.
After an hour on the beach engaged In
sharpening up appetities. hungry lot sat
down to dinner in Terminal tavern. An ex-
cellent repast was served, which was speed
lily disposed Of and the fun began. During
the interval between courses the club quar-
tet enlivened things with rollicking college
songs, everybody joining In the chorus with
a will.
President w. A. Spalding presided as
toast master, and called for short reminis-
censos Of college days. The first response
was by Percy Wilson. q classmate Of Pres
ident Spalding in Michigan university, who
exposed a nefarious scheme in which both
he and his friend had been mixed up with
q goose in the college chapel.
Prof H. e. Storrs, as one Of the oldest
Of the boys present, gave couple OF
in a happy vein, and was fol-
lowed by W. F. Burbank, who made dis
tinct hit In an address bristling with witty
points.
Charles @. Davis. president Of the board
Of education. responded to the toast "Uni-
versity Clubs" and told Of those he had
belonged to, drawing out some valuable
points for increasing the efficiency Of the
local organisation. w. ]. Variel followed
with an account Of what he and his class
mates did at the University Of California,
or rather what he did not do but knew Of
someone else committing. J. B. Burks, as
his contribution, recited a humorous poem,
1.-THE superfluous Man." and told why he
had never married.
Quite the hit Of the evening was made by
Ed North, who had prepared a patriotic
poem, with responses. which told of the
deeds Of Dewey. Hobson, schley and others.
While some Of the responses were more
emphatic than elegant they seemed to suit
the popular taste, and the poem scored a
''howling" success. Although more

]. f. Humphreys, who will be very ac-
lively engaged In the business Of charter
building for the next three months, has not
found his new vocation so lucrative that he
has decided to give up the real estate bust
ness. He was therefore in the presence Of
the finance committee yesterday ia urge
favorable consideration on the real estate
dealers petition for the repeal Of the ordi-
nance which imposes q monthly tax on men
engaged in the business of buying and SELL
ing chunks of terra firma. The argument
was presented that the ordinance was pass
ed ten or twelve years ago, when the con-
ditions were altogether different from those
now existing The license was originally
required from lawyers, doctors, merchants,
real estate dealers ana others, but the at
torneys absolutely refused to pay 1t. and
later the physicians and merchants adopted
the same tactics, on the ground that the
ordinance was unconstitutional. 1t was
therefore Altered, SO that the realty men
have been the only ones paying under Its
provisions, and great number OF them have
been escaping because they own no prop
erty, and there Is no way OF enforcing col
lection against them.
There Is another ordinance which re-
quires the payment of similar license by
oil dealers. and they have also asked for
repeal. 1t is commended, however. that they
have less right to ask such action, because
they require police protection. and the char
acter OF their business often necessitates
special repair of city property, such as &C.
ment walks, streets, etc., whereas real es-
tate dealers are continually assisting In the

CIGARETTE CRITICS
MISTAKES.
Communication In the Scientific Ameri

PrehenSIOn-staIned Handkerchief Test
L. No Test At All.

j. W. Mallet, professor of chemistry
In the University Of Virginia, in COM
munication to the current number Of
the Scientific American, says with ref
erence to cigarettes Of American man
ufacture:
Ignorance Of easily ascertainable
scientific facts Is, however, common
enough, as is often illustrated by the
brown, oily material formed in the
smoking Of tobacco being pointed out
as nicotine, though in reality this is
merely the tar produced by the action
OF heat on the woody fiber Of the leaf
Nicotine when pure is a colorless
fluid Of somewhat oily consistence and
strong, peculiar, penetrating odor, but
1t darkens on exposure to air and light,
becoming first yellow and then brown,
80 that 1t looks, in this darkened con-
dition, something like the tarry matter
which soils a smokers fingers or a
handkerchief through which tobacco
smoke Is exhaled, or Is often noticed
as deposited in the stem Of pipe.
"This tarry deposit has nothing es-
sentlal in common with nicotine, and
contains but traces Of this alkaloid,
when any at all.
A part, but only small part (about
one-seventh in the experiments Of
Melsens), Of the real nicotine Of to-
bacco, Is volatilized without decompo-
sition; the remainder is burned and
destroyed in the process Of smoking"
The simple facts are, that such cigar
cites as 1 have examined, representing
a large part of those in general use
throughout the United States, are
made from pure, llght-yellow tobacco
Of the high grade produced on certain
special soils, prominently in certain Of
the southern counties Of Virginia and
the adjacent portion Of North Carolina,
with wrappers Of the best quality Of
harmless vegetable fiber paper, and are
entirely free from the adulterants
which 1t has been asserted are present,
with no evidence in favor OF such as
sertion, and in absolute contradiction
of the scientific evidence actually avail
able.
