the vestibule, threw himself on the
brake, but too late. Theojar sent him
through the front window oftthe YES
thule and he shot through.f the air.
Doty landed on his head and was I'M
conscious when picked up. r.
With the lights extinguished, all was
confusion Wild shrieks and muttered
curses filled the air as omeri, women
and children fought for a chance to
reach the ground On the rear train
the gates were closed, and a panic
stricken mob fought and pushed in the
darkness. Doty, the motorman, was
lying unconscious on the ground. and
not until Conductor Sorenson, bruised
and bleeding, made his way to the rear
were the gates forced open.
The passengers in the train ahead
had a better chance. The trailer being
an open car, men pushed women and
women pushed children through the
holes above and below the wire screens
of the sides. The back platform was
blocked by the vestibule Of the double
truck car and escape at the rear was
impossible.
Proffers of Assistance.
AS soon as the accident became gen.
orally known, hundreds f1ocked to the
scene, among them friends and rela-
tives of those in attendance at the pic
mics. These, with their proffers of as
sistance and excited hunt for missing
relatives, made the scene one of indie
scribable chaos, which the arrival Of a
detail of police from the Prior station
only relieved.
AS soon as those In charge of the
car could extract themselves from the
struggling, screaming mass of men and
women, news Of the accident was sent
to the railway headquarters, and Dis
patcher Stone, on duty at Fort Shell
ing, hurried to the scene with a num-
Der OF men.
The motor was detached src.n the
wrecked trailer and the badly injured
put aboard and hurried to the hospital.
Shortly afterward the city hospital am
bulance arrived and the remaining in
jured were taken to the hospital.
Taken to the Hospital.
Both ambulance and car, with it's
torn and bruised human freight, many
of them screaming with pain, tore up
West Seventh street at a mad pace,
stopping only when the hospital was
reached. Here stretchers were brought
into requisition and between a line of
cars mad dash and the cries of the
injured, the victims were carried to
the big building.
Nine of the ten injured passengers
were brought to the city hospital in
an electric car.
The nurses and the entire staff of
physicians were ordered into service.
The injured passengers were brought
into the hospital at 1890 o'clock and
taken to the operating room as fast
as they could be Accommodated. Ex-
actly one hour after the ambulance
arrived the wounds of the injured had
all been dressed, bandaged and were
resting comfortably in the various
rooms about the building.

"RED" COHEN EXPECTED
TO ARRIVE TO-DAY
Board of Charities and Corrections
Will Undoubtedly Be Investigated,
and the Manner in Which Certain
Employees Secured Their Present
Positions Will Be Looked Into.

The grand jury for the September
term of court will meet at 10 o'clock
this morning, and it is expected that
the members will take up the work
of municipal housekeeping where the
April grand jury left off,
The last jury suggested that it's sue
cessor would find a fruitful, even
though odorous field for investigation,
If it followed the path that had been
blazed.
What May Be Done.
Among the things the new grand
jury will be called upon to investigate
will be reports of how certain en-
ployes of the board of charities and
corrections secured their present posi-
lions.
Al Stringer, who thought he was
slated for the position of secretary of
the board, was before the last grand
jury and may be a witness before the
new one.
One of the members of the board
of charities and corrections has not
been present at a meeting for four
months or more, and his present post
office address is not known to the gen
eral public, although it is reported
that he has been seen in the vicinity
of Keegan's lake and in Indiana.
The first cases that will be consider
ed are those of the men in Jail who
have been held to the grand jury.
Cohen Due Today.
Freddy" Cohen, who escaped to Sc
attic and who was arrested at Butte,
Mont, is expected to arrive some time
today. He was indicted for extortion
together with former Chief Ames, of
the police department, but he did not
wait to be arraigned.
The county authorities have been on
Cohen's trail for some time. Former
Detective Joseph Lawrence saw him
in Seattle some weeks ago, and Cohen
made no attempt to disguise his iden-
tity.

The retail Grocers and Meat Dealers

in the coming campaign for the election
of members of the legislature. Neither
of the parties will be favored in any way,
the only object being to secure members
who will stand by the business interests

The State Dairy and Food commission
is one thing that both of the associations
are interested in. An agitation will be
started to make two separate commits

separate head.
The object is to make the enforcement
of the present pure food laws more eff
fective, and the. single commission has
more work than 1t can properly take care
Of A large number of complaints Of
alleged violations of the pure food laws
have been made but owing to the fact
that the commission has not had any
time to investigate them there have been
few prosecutions
Another matter the associations will
consider will be that of improving the
present credit laws. which in their pres
ent state protect the debtor more than
the creditor.

MORE OF SAME SORT
COAL STRIKE is BROKEN AND
COAL STRIKE is NOT BROKEN
Line Between the Operator and Miner
Is Actually Drawn Almost as Tightly
as When Work Was Suspended in
May-Cutting Coal Under Difficulties
and Price Would Fall Much.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE
anthracite mine workers strike enters
upon it's eighteenth week tomorrow
with the lines between the operator
= and the miner drawn almost as tight
ly as when the suspension was 1nau-
gurated on May II.
If the officials of the Mine Workers
union are to be believed, the struggle
will continue for months unless the
coal companies grant concessions.
Some of the operators looked for a Sc
rious break in the ranks of the men
weeks ago, and admit they are sur
prised at the way the strikers are
holding out.
Statements have been made by prom
fnent men both in and out of the coal
trade that the strike will be ended this
month. President Mitchell, of the
union, maintains he knows nothing of
a possible early ending of the trouble,
or of any negotiations on foot looking
to that end.
Extra Legislative Session.
The only move now in contempla-
ton is the suggestion that Gov. Stone
call an extra session or the legislature
to pass a law that would have the eff
feet of amicably and speedily ending
the deadlock. Gov. Stone has announc-
ed that if bill can be framed that will
have the desired effect he will imme-
diately convene the legislature.
Last week more coal left the mining
region than in any previous week since
the strike began. Statements have
been made by mining officials that the
shipment for the last six working days
aggregated 100000 tons. The normal
weekly output is a little more than
100000 tons. The strikers and their
officials dispute the claims of the min
Ing superintendents, and maintain that
Of tn orIx OF
Is washed" from the great culm piles
and the remainder is the coal that had
been blasted before the strike began,
Or which fell through the breaking of
rotten timbering during the idleness.
All the fuel that is leaving the coal
fields is not reaching the markets. A
considerable quantity is being taken by
the railroads for their own uses.
Coal Cut by Bosses"
Coal is being cut in some of the
mines, but as far as can be learned
much of it is being done by bosses"
who are experienced miners. The coal
companies say they have long lists of
names of men who are ready to return
to work, but are unwilling to take the
chances because they fear violence.
With the coming cooler weather the
companies look for a break, believing
that the relief now coming to the mine
workers will not hold out long, and
that they will be compelled to return
to prepare for the winter, which is
usually rigorous one in the mountain
regions.
Company officials do not look for a
rapid decline in the price of coal after
the strike is over because the demand
will be greater than the supply. 1t is
estimated that not more than rs per
cent of the mines will be in condition
for immediate operation when the
strike is ended.
