Since "yellow" journalism was in
augurated in the United States the
irrepressible "interviewer" is con.
stantly on the alert poking his nose
and his notebook into everybody
and everything which appears in
sight To avoid him or her is diff
cult enough but it is still more diff
cult to answer the questions OF the
friends ia manner satisfactory to
the story-hunting reporter and safe
to the interviewed party. For the
benefit of travellers from here we
publish an interview with Mr. T. h.
Walker which appeared in the S. F.
Call and which demonstrates the
tact and discretion OF Mr.. Walker:
"Wheu seen last night, he said:
My official position would preclude
me from speaking upon local poll
tics no matter what my personal
feelings might be in the premises.
"'The matter of annexation now
rests with the United States Govern
ment. The Call editorial writers
appear to be we'll informed as to
affairs on the islands.
"'Besides holding an official posi-
ton l am engaged in the mercantile
business with T. III. Davies, who, up
to short time ago was the guard
ian of Princess Kaiulani.'
speaking OF the Princess, Mr..
Walker said: Her return to the
islands is entirely unpolitical, her
visit being private to home and
friends, She was received with the
utmost courtesy by everyone. She
enjoyed her visit to San Francisco
very much"

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Charles Collins Thrown From n Wagon in
Collision With a switch
Engine.

Charles Collins met with lucky ac-
cldent yesterday, IL it may be said
there is any luck in an accident and
Tor the man who gets hurt. Collins
luck lay in the fact that he was not
Killed. or at least much more seriously
injured than he was. His i'll luck, in
the fact that he drove across a railroad
track absent mindedly without looking
for the cars and had his rig struck BY
an approaching train with the result
that he was thrown violently to the
ground and had rib broken by his
horse falling on him.
collins is Browns gulch milk ranch
er and peddles in the city. He had been
delivering milk at South Butte yester-
day morning and was coming north on
Utah avenue about IL o'clock when the
accident occurred, where the connec-
tion between the Great Northern and
b., A. x p. cross Utah avenue q tall
building close to the south of the track
hides the view to the west from drivers
approaching the crossing from the
south If they chance to be driving on
the west side of the street. 1t so hap
pens that the late freeze has made the
street very rough in this locality and
traffic has made a smooth road along
the west side of the avenue. Collins
was awaiting himself of the smooth
driveway and was jogging along alb
sent mindedIy as he neared the cross
ing. He did not observe that a switch
engine picking number of freight cars
was approaching from the west until
his horse was almost on the track. A
brakeman saw the danger and called
to Collins, who did not until the mo-
ment see the train. He pulled the horse
TO the right in an effort to avoid the
accident, but the horse got onto the
track in spite of the drivers efforts and

wagon. The collision threw Collins
from the wagon to the ground on the
north side of the track and forced the
horse over on top of him. The train was
stopped as quickly as possible but not
until 1T had dragged the horse and
wagon about 40 feet
Collins was picked up and sent to
Murray & Freund's hospital in a hack,
where an examination developed that
he had sustained a fracture of one rib,
but was not otherwise injured. The
wagon was smashed to splinters, but
the horse escaped without injury. Col
Inns received the necessary medical at
tention and was able to go about town
but he proved too ambitious and was
sent back to the hospital with chill.
He was feeling much better last even
ing, however, and it is not thought he
will be laid up more than a few days.
Bystanders who witnessed the acct
dent said last evening that il was only
a freak of good luck that prevented
Collins from being fatally injured.

than were given the defendant accord
ing To Samples own testimony.
Mr.. Connolly, in reply, said to the
jury that justice was demanded wheth-
er Maggie Moore had one child or a
dozen of them. He did not want the
woman convicted because she was a
woman, but because that crime should
be punished. He said criminals were
turned loose upon the community by
juries until juries themselves could
honestly begin to regard themselves
as the greatest criminals. Mr.. Con-
molly spoke of the fact that Sample,
after having been robbed, tried unsuc-
cessfully to enlist the services of the
policeman on Ga1ena street and that
the woman was the next morning ar
rested and fined for conducting a house
OF prostitution by the police authorities
instead of for larceny

said, speaking of the officers refusal
to arrest the woman when Sample
complained to him, is no better than

woman loose or not. l have done my
duty and the responsibility is now with
