TWO YOUNGSTERS
SEVERELY INJURED
PAINFUL ACCIDENTS AT THE
PARK PLAYGROUND.
sally's Body Lying in State &C the
Chutes-Interesting Aquatic Pro-
gramme at Sutro Baths.

Youngsters by the thousand thronged
the playground in the Park yesterday. 1t
seeemed as though some special event was
the cause of the gathering of the hosts of
children, and matters were made to SAVIOR
even more of a special event gathering by
a couple of accidents in which as many
children were severely injured.
George Herbert who resides at S51 Pine
street. was the first to be taken to the
emergency hospital for treatment. Mas
ter Herbert, who has seen about seven an
nual school vacations, was performing on
one of the merry -go-round horses, it is
said Finally he lost his balance and was
thrown heavily on the wooden platform.
The ambulance was summoned, he was
taken to the hospital, and it was found
that he had sustained a fracture of both
bones of the left arm near the wrist. The
injured member was set, after which the
lad was taken to his home.
Alice Tennis who lives with her parents
at IT'S Noe street, was next treated at the
hospital. Miss Tennis was enjoying her
self in a swing when in some way she be-
her right leg was fractured below the
knee. Her ankle was also severely
iammed. After her hurts had been at
tended to she was removed to her home.
This ended the days list of severe in
iuries, although several suffered scratches
and bruises from minor accidents, while
one woman fell from her morse ana mar
rowly escaped receiving a broken arm;
She mounted her animal. however, and
rode off, refusing the assistance of po-
liceman who went to her aid.
At the ChuteS there is mourning. Sally,
the intellectual little chmpanzee passed
away last Friday of hemorrhage of the
stomach, superlnduced by. a severe case
of bronchitis, which caused the animal in

Bauer Will Fight the Suit.

Martin Bauer, ex-vice president and
manager of the Boesch Lamp Company
states that he will fight the suit pending
against him for the recovery of 1929 which
it is alleged he embezzled from the com
pany. His defense will be that he ex-
pended small sums in treating patrons of
the company and in the interest of trade.
He says that his wife is in no manner re-
sponsible for this except that she advised
him not to spend his own money when
securing patrons. but to make the firm
stand the expense.

of cotton to-day: Liverpool opened his
morning with considerable strength, adj
vancing some 1854 on the tirsG call but all
of this was lost at their close, and as they
closed before our market opened, it was
regarded as very bearish. But the demand
for spots there was active, and 1000 bales
we're sold at an advance of Lilo. our
market opened off for October, Novem-
