Mrs. Frank s, Wallace Meets With
Serious Accident-Company
! IStarts This Morning

bon and B. w. Lee of Los Angeles, besides
many others. Attorney Lee, for the COM
pany, asked that both applications be
granted, one of them being known as the
Raymond route" and the other as the
"Grand avenue route" AS Mr.. Thomp-
son of the proposed Suburban Railway
company is no longer connected fifth the
scheme, the Traction company would bid
for both franchises should the council
see fit to advertise them. Mr.. Lee filed d
communication setting forth the names of
nearly all the property owners on Grand
avenue south Of Palmetto street as favor-
able to the granting Of the franchise. Some
of the advantages laid down are that the
running time will be cut down twenty min
utes between here and Los Angeles and
there will be only one grade crossing Of a
steam road.
For the other side of the question N. ".
Bell presented a counter communication
signed by property owners representing
3776 feet out of 1854 between Palmetto
stree. and Colorado street, protesting
against the granting Of the franchise ap-
piled for. Other protestants were B. o.
Bruce and A. r. Metcalfe, who argued
that the value Of that streets property in
terests would be seriously impaired. Mr..
Lee then admitted that any other route
might be agreeable to the company If
Grand avenue could not be secured.
Upon the question of the financial back
ing Of the concern Attorney Simpson said
that they did not wish to disclose their
private business to the public, but would
willingly meet committee Of the council
and convince it that the backing was of
the best.
- %y,n n1 pafI
way company made a plea for the fran
chise for electrizing that road between
here and Los Angeles.
Runaway Accident
Mrs. Frank A. Wallace was the victim
of a runaway accident this morning, and
1t was at first supposed that her injuries
would prove fatal. 1t now seems, how
ever, that she will recover. At about 9:20
o'clock this morning Mrs Wallace got into
her buggy at her home, No. 564 East Colo
RADIO street, to drive to P. M. GREEN'S, on
South Orange Grove avenue below Column
bia street, to attend a meeting of the Pas
adena Symphony club. Near the corner Of
Euclid avenue the horse became frightened
and started to run. 1t is thought Mrs.
Wallace lost the reins. At the corner of
Worcester avenue she was thrown out,
striking the curb and telephone pole. Her
nose and the bones of her face were broken
ard the scalp and skull were cut and in
dented. Mrs. Wallace was carried into DR..
Macombers house and in the absence of
I. pr. Macomber DR.. Dalrymple was called
and attended her. She did not lose con-
sciousness, and shortly before noon was
taken to her own home. The horse ran on
down Colorado street and collided with a
wagon standing in front of Calvin's fruit
stand. Both rigs were spilled and Mrs.
Wallace's horse fell and slid about twenty
feet on the asphalt. He was caught and
embarrassed. The buggy was not badly
damaged.

bled at the armory and were acquainted
with this order. The captain then stated
that any members who for any reason
