WARNING TO DRIVERS.
A smashup Yesterday Stirred Up
 Lots of People.

Although Washington street is wider than the main thoroughfares of many larger cities, it is not wide enough for all the wagons on the street to be in the same place at the same time with out disastrous results.
 Yesterday a lady from the country was driving west on Washington street in front of the Capitol saloon. She was in d single buggy and was on the right hand side Of the street. Two ladies were driving in the opposite direction, each in a different vehicle, and on the same side Of the street, which to them was the left-haEd side. A street car was going in the same direction and about parallel. The west-bound lady could not cross the track in front of the car and the east-bound buggies did not stop. There was no retreat, and all the lady bound west could do was to prs-, pare for the charge which she did as well as possible. The result was that her buggy sustained a damage estiInat- eG at S2O. and only the timely assist ance of the men close by prevented her horse from running away The lady was fortunately uniniured.
 By the time the collision was nicely over the street car was brought to q standstill. and when the victim of th- mix-up stepped out on the solid ground to view the wreck among the first to address her was the motorman, who had his little blank along relating that the man nor the car line were in no way responsible. He asked the woman to sign. but she demurred. or at least she requested an extension of time till she could find out who was to stand for the damages. The motorman then turned to Captain Burt Mossman of the rangers, who chanced to be passen- ger. and asked him to sign one of the blanks.
 Do I look like hobo or a fool?' asked the captain Not wishing to enter upon an argument, the motorrnan pro- ceeded to manipulate the juice and the incident closed.
 The city marshal says that the incl dent will serve the purpose of making himself and the police more vigilant in the enforcement of an ordinance which forbids driving on the left-hand side of the street, qualified, of course, by cir cumstances that prevent any other course. The accepted law of the road is to keep to the right, and it violation causes many accidents.

A New Export Record Will
 Be Established Today
SEVEN MILLION PACKED
These Immense Shipments Made Pos sible by the Rate of Exchange. Unless There is a Turn Twenty Five Millions More Will Go-The Freight Disturbing the Marine Insurance Men.

New York, Nov. 1S.-A new record for gold engagements to Europe from New York was established today, when gold to the amount of over seven millions was taken from the assay office for shipment by the steamer Kaiser Will helm der Crosse tomorrow. The gold was ordered in the regular course of business, according to reports, and all but one million goes to Berlin.
 The shipments were made possible by the high rate of exchange. It was figured today that unless a rapid change of rates occurs fully twenty-five millions more will follow.
 The departure of this big amount of gold marks the change in the attitude on the part of the marine underwriters of this country. For a long time, even with modern, safe ocean going vessels, it was the custom for underwriting companies not to risk more than about four millions on any one bottom
 All gold going out tomorrow will be in the form of bars. The packing of this vast amount of gold was done to- day al the assay office and was not completed until a late hour.
 To offset the heavy exports of gold there were unusually large tenders of government bonds for redemption at the sub-treasury. One house turned in sl.6s5,0CO fours of 1925, for which s2 234s.- 521 was paid out Other payments for bonds<were made, the total bein in ex- cessfof s2, ,5OO, ,OOO

 The committee represents that such policy would be serious error and d death blow to the national irrigation or the era of home build ing on the public domain. The telegram also calls the presidents attention to his letter to the National Irrigation in Chicago in 1900. which crystallized the sentiment of domiEa- tion in that convention that the re- clamation of the arid lands must be kept absolutely within the control of the national government"

The wound in the head was on the right side. Dr. Chet Mcdonald, the deputy coroner, testified that the wound was on the siGe and above the right eye and the bullet ranged down ward.
 Taking the range of the bullet into considera ton, could the woman have shot herself?" he was asked.
 Yes; the position would have been awkward, but it would have been quite possible

Several witnesses testified that Mrs. West had attempted suicide be- fore and that she had said that when she tried it again it would be with a pistol. Others testified that Mrs. West was a confirmed user of morphine and other drugs.

Efforts were made here last night to establish the identity of the parties re- ferred to in the above episode, but they were not entirely successful. It is believed, however that the woman is one who owns a piece of land near Agua Caliente, or rather who has been engaged for some years in proving up on the property. If it is she, her life has been an eventful one and has in- cluded two matrimonial ventures and several years of hard work. and her conduct has always been above sus- picion-

MIsDIRECTED SYMPATHY.

Czolgosz is receiving a considerable
amount of sympathy from morbid
cranks. 1t is extraordinary how many
morbid cranks there are. 1t used to
be thought that San Francisco was the
special home of the morbid crank, but
| it is evident that this particular style
of crank is not confined to any one part
of the Union. 1t used to be quite a
fad in San Francisco to fill up a muir
derers cell with costly flowers, and if
he was a brute like Wainwright who
choked his sister-in-law to death with
his fingers, he became doubly an object
of interest and his cell became a bower
of roses.
The same morbid sympathy is being
shown towards the cowardly Czolgosz.
Presents of fruits and of flowers are
brought daily to the Jail, coming from
all parts Of the Union, and from people
whom one could not imagine would be
guilty of such folly or such excessively
bad taste. The prison authorities, how
ever, are wiser than those of San Fran
cisco used to be. None of the presents
reach the murderer, but are promptly
turned over to a hospital where they do
some good.
But what an extraordinary attitude
of mind is this Yet it is not a rare
one. The victims fate is quite forgot
ten in sympathy for the murderer about
to die. Such people forget altogether
that the victim of the crime was put
to death by the murderer without
warning, and without compunction.
They forget the circumstances of the
crime and center their attention upon
the criminal and wondering how they
would feel if they We're condemned to
death.
No man will suffer the death penalty
more righteously than Czolgosz. There
could not have been a more cowardly
or more dastardly crime Most mur-
derers are cowardly, though not all
hOmicides are. But Czolgosz's s case was
peculiarly cOwardly, for it was commit
ted when the victim had extended his
hand in courtesy and kindness. 1t was
moreover a premeditated crime, for he
had followed the President about for
days to get his chance. To extend SYM
pathy to such a ruffian and to soothe
his last days with gifts of flowers, or
pamper his appetite with rare fruits,
shows most undoubtedly minds i'll bal
anced, which cannot appreciate or
value the depth of crime and it's helm
