FIVE PERSONS INJURED
IN STREET CAR COLLISION
Mot0rman Walter C. FarroW Has His Skull Crushed
and viii Probably Die
Psnned Up in Vssbue Without Any Chance of EscapeFog Re-
sponsbe For Disaster.

TIVE people were injured, one prob
ably fatally. in a head-end col
Iision between a Brigham street
and a Third street car, yesterday
morning, near Second East and Brig
ham streets.
The Injured.
Motorman Walter c. Farrow, skull
crushed, little hope for his recovery.
Conductor T. w. Palmer, cut and
bruised about head.
w. E Bennett, agent for the Dia-
mond Coal company, cut about face.
Miss Florence Pratt, county clerks
Office, cut on body.
Miss Kate Milford, county recorders
Office, bruised and cut.
The injuries of the last four are not
serious.
The cars came together with ter
rife force, tearing the vestibule COM
pletely off the Brigham street car.
wrecking the vestibule of the Third
street car, and SCATTERING every pane
of glass in both cars.
Fragments of the wrecked cars were
scattered for fifty feet about the scene
of the collision. Motorman A. z. Davis
of the Brigham street car only es-
capped death by jumping from his car
Farrow couldn't jump on account Of
his car being closed. Eleven passen-
gers on the Third street car and two
on the other car were thrown out of
their seats and badly shaken up.
Fog Caused Accident.
The cause of the accident was the
dense fog that enveloped the city, max
ing it almost impossible for persons
TO see even a house as far as across
the street, and the lack of any spe-
cific regulations as to which switch the
cars on the two lines shall pass each
other. The mOtOrmen did not see each
others cars until they We're within
fifty feet Of each other, and then both
reversed their levers, else the results
would undoubtedly have been far more
serious.
The accident occurred at S:19 o'clock
in the morning, about 100 feet from
the Third East switch, where the cars
should have passed each other. Car
No. 81 on the Third street line. in
charge Of MOtorman Walter 9 Far

actly on time in order to make the
switch. When the ca was within a

This question has been heard repeat-

cles in the past days, II finally was
heard by Mr. Cannon himself, causing
that gentleman to sputter few em-
phatic and Enthusiastically plctur-
esque protests Nevertheless. the talk
goes on, and 1t may be necessary for
me speaker to come out In a statement
II he wants to head of a lively vice
presidential boom started by his
friends.
Mr., Cannon was not long in hear M
about the gossip, and he set up q howl
Of disappoyal, fguratively speaking,
which could be heard at the other end
Of the Capitol. He expressed himself
as entirely satisfied with his lob" and
not seeking a change at this time
Clothed In vigorous language, OF which
he is the master, fecund with adjective
and imprecation, rich In simile and
apostrophe and replete with homely
obJurgauon, his remarks upon the pro-
posed candidacy were delivered In no
uncertain tone.
But still the gossip would not down.

the suggestion seems 10 be meeting

The particular line Of effort In which
the postOalce department claims that

letters We're handpd locally by IN sub
