WILL TEST THEIR SPEED.

SAN FRANCISCO, oept. 12.-As mail
carriers for the Japanese Government
the three liners of the Togo Kisen Kali
sha, the America Maru, Nippon Maru
and Hongkong -1aru, are required to
prove their speed every year, as well as
to pass inspection by Lloyds, the Unit
ed States and the Japanese Government
surveyors. The America Maru and Nip
pom Maru, now in the Orient, are un-
dergoing their annual trials or will do
so at Hongkong, where six runs over a
three-mile measured course must show
their ability, and the official surveys
will follow. From the success that has
attended the three liners since the stllL-
ness of an early age was worn off, no
anxiety is felt by the Togo Kisen Kali
sha over the result of the tests. The
three yachtlike passengers ships are,
in fact, regarded as better than ever.

LEG CRUSHED BY
HEAVY ROLLER
s.HvGDORE SUSTA1Ns
SHOCKING INJURY LAST NIGHT
WHILE DISCHARGIkG NEVADAN

A serious accident occurred at the
Railway wharf last evening while the
S. 5. Nevadan was being discharged. a
Japanese stevedore sustained a shock
ing fracture of the >1ght leg, the bone
being mashed by a heavy roller falling
on him.
Some heavy pieces of machinery were
being discharged from the hold of the
Nevadan onto some fiat cars on the
wharf. A fve-ton roller was swung
out from the vessel onto the car. 1t
was thought that the roller should be
moved over to one side of the car so
some Japanese went to work on their
own account, it is seated. to move the
roller. They got the roller over too far
on the car with the result that the car
was tipped over.
The roller fell upon the right leg of
one of the Japs. lie was pinned down
by the roller for fuzzy ten minutes be-
fore the gear could be rugged up and
the weight lifted fNJm him. He was
struck in the region of the knee. The
bones We're crushed and mashed i'm a
sickening way. The man was removed
to the hospital where it was decided to
amputate his leg above the knee.
