ELECTRIC CARS
IN BAD CLASH
Collision Hurts Mrs. Frank
Mcguire and Child, Whose
Escape Alive Is a Miracle
MOTORMEN WERE MIXED
Accident Is at Crossing,
Each Claimed Right Of
Way and Ran Full Speed

BERKELEY, June 22.-Two cars of
, the Oakland Transit Consolidated col
lided this evening at Alcatraz and Tel
egraph avenues. They were full of pas
sengers, but all escaped injury with the
exception of Mrs. Frank Mcguire and
her daughter Phyllis Mcguire, aged 6
years, both of whom received severe
cuts and bruises. The escape of the
mother and daughter was marvellous,
as they were in position that exposed
! them to the full force of the contact.
The tracks are clear of distractions
where they cross at the intersection of
the two avenues. and the men in
charge could see the streets on all
! says his car had the right of way and
that the other should have stopped at
the crossing.
A HEAVY CLASH.
The clash occurred at $50 o'clock.
Car No 50 of the Alcatraz-avenue line,
in charge of Motorman H. ]. Hucksta-
bic and Conductor ]. H. Eslick, was
moving toward Lorin station, when car
No. 1876 of the Telegraph-avenue line,
handled by Motorman Charles o. Dai-
ley and Conductor Hotaling, was going
toward Berkeley.
Neither motorman checked his car
as he approached the crossing and the
result was the inevitable smash, the
cars striking each other at the con-
verging corners of their front ends.
Mrs. Mcguire and her daughter were
sitting on the front end of the Alca-
traz-avenue car, outside. They were
almost directly in line of the Tele-
graph-avenue cars approach and it
seemed that they would be crushed to
death. But the cars, striking together
on their corners, saved them. Both
mother and child were thrown heavily
to the ground.
WOUNDED CARED FOR.
They were taken to the home of Mrs.
Charles Mellin of 1921 Alcatraz avenue
where they had been visiting. A physi-
clan dressed their injuries. The childs
right leg was severely crushed, but not
broken. Mrs. Mcguire lives at. 42413
Shotwell street, San Francisco. Re
garding the accident she said:
Il saw the cars coming together, but
ii did not seem possible that the motor
men would let them come into collis-
ion. 1t is so clear at the crossing that
there was no need for it. 1t was
great piece of carelessness."
Motorman Huckstable said he
thought he had the right of way and
sent his car ahead because he had
counted on the other man stopping.
