Just after the train had passed
through the Conway yards it had to be
stopped on account Of a hot box. The
box was cooled off, but three other
stops were necessary by the time Sew
ickley had been reached
These delays allowed the second
section to catch I'D and after passing
Sewickley the trains were running but
one block apart. At Clifton the first
train was again stopped by the hot
box. The trainmen say Flagman John
Murray was sent back as an extra pre-
caution to stop the train following in
case IL udu passed the last set OF Sig
mails.
Murray had hardly left the train
when the second section. running fifty
miles an hour. turned slight bend
at this point. Engineer Nicholas
Long of the second train said the
block he passed showed green, but
when he saw Flagman Murray he ap-
piled the brakes. 1t was too late. The
heavy train sped on over the slippery
rails and crashed fairly into the rear
coach of the first train.

ding at noon to-day of Charles How

there eliminated a pretty romance. be-
gun under the live oaks Of the univer
sity campus four years ago and con-
tinued since Spinks left college to
make fame and fortune for himself as
a mining engineer in South Africa and
the southwestern part of this coun-
try.
Though Mr.. Spinks graduated from
the university with the class not later
than in 1903, he is superintendent and
consulting engineer of the American
Magnesite Company, corporation
with large interests in this State, and
he has to his credit, despite his youth,
a series of achievements as mining en-
gineer on the Witwatersrand in South
Africa, and on the "Sunken Reef" in
Arizona that might be envied by men
many years older.
His bride is senior at the univer-
sity, the daughter of Louis l.. Nelson,
at whose home, 2429 Bancroft way, the
wedding ceremony was performed to-
day. The brides family has been
prominent socially for many years in
the university town. She herself is an
accomplished artist and musician.
The house was prettily decorated for
TIL. occasion. None but intimate
friends of the couple were hidden to
the affair Miss Christine Smith and
Miss Sara Cox were maids attending
the bride and Clyde Abbott and DR..
Thomas N. Putnam attended the
groom.
Mr. and Mrs. Spinks left for Paso
Robles during the afternoon. Thei8
wedding tour will include points in

EXPLAIN CAUSE
OF THE DELAY
Directors of Young Mems
Christian Association Re-
quire Large Donations
FUNDS INSUFFICIENT
Misunderstanding About the
Use of $4,000 Guaranteed
by the Ladies' Auxiliary
Oakland once San Francisco Call,

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1915 Broadway, March 4.
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton OF Oakland to-day issued an off,
cisl statement in explanation OF the
delay in the erection OF the new Y. NJ.
c. A building. for which an active
campaign has been In progress for
three years. The statement is signed
by all Of the trustees and directors
OF the association, and explains that
owing TO a misunderstanding among
members OF the Ladies' Auxiliary,
which pledged itself to raise $4,000, the
necessary funds are lacking.
The amount which has already been
guaranteed for the new building is
slightly in excess Of $4,000, but includ-
ed in this is the amount guaranteed by
the auxiliary. The ladies understood
that the amount TO be raised bg them
was to be expended in furnishing the
building and could not therefore be
considered as a part Of the construc-
ton fund. Owing to q discrepancy be-
tween the wording of the pledge card
actually used and the representation
made to the ladies when they assumed
this amount, the boards were led TO be-
lieve that this subscription could prop
erly be counted.
1t has been evident that 1t would be
absolutely necessary to get large sub
scriptions in order to make good the
deficiency caused by the withdrawal Of
the $50, 900 from the construction fund
and TO provide for the $4,000 yet called
for by the plans and by the conditions
of the pledges. After a quiet but most
thorough canvass these subscriptions
have not been forthcoming.
