AUTO WRECKS BUGGY;
3 PERSONS INJURED
DRIVER SPEEDS ON UNMINDFUL OF VICTIMS
Machine Crashes Into Vehicle, Hurting It's Occu-
pants Against Electric Car Escape From
Death Almost Miraculous

Three persons were severely injured
in an automobile accident early last
night at Ceres avenue and East Ninth
street, when two men, apparently
crazed with the speed germ" dashed
into carriage in which George Burns
of 48O Centennial street, Miss Lillian
Burns and Miss Lillian M. Tobin of
Chicago were driving, hurting two of
the occupants against an approaching
Long Beach car and causing danger
Gus runaway.
The escape from death of the occu-
pants of the buggy is considered re-
markable.
Without even attempting to check the
speed of his machine the driver of the
automobile whizzed down the street at
a rate estimated at thirty-five miles an
hour, not even turning his head to see
the havoc which his machine had
wrought.
AS the men disappeared down the
street eyewitnesses say they recognized
the number on the rear end of the
machine as $50.
The street car which was passing
when the accident occurred was stopped
and some of the passengers hurried to
lend assistance to the injured persons
lying in the street while others gave
pursuit to the runaway horse, which
was dashing frantically down the street,
completely beyond the control of Miss
Burns, who remained alone in the
buggy after the collision with the auto
mobile.
Girl Dangerously Hurt
Miss Tobin, who was most severely
injured, was found to be suffering from
bruised right shoulder and elbow, a
deep laceration under the chin, and
also suffering from severe nervous
shock. Mr.. Burns was suffering from
severely bruised left leg which was
almost crushed in his fall to the ground.
Miss Burns, who remained in the
buggy, succeeded in stopping the run
away horse, with the assistance CT
pedestrians after the frightened ami
NAL had run nearly half mile down
Ninth street. Although she had sus-
tanned no bodily injuries the young
woman was almost hysterical from the
nervous shock to which she had been
subjected in the accident The three
victims of the autoist We're sent to the
receiving hospital, where they were at
tended by Police Surgeon Freedman.
The two young women are school
teachers in Chicago and arrived In Los
Angeles only Sunday with the intention
Of spending four weeks vacation in
Southern California. They are the
guests Of Miss Burns father, Robert
Burns, 4SO Centennial street, and were
being driven about the city by Miss
Burns brother yesterday afternoon
when the accident occurred.

LIVERPOOL, July 27.--An electra
train on the Lancashire and Yorkshire
port, collided this evening with an
empty stationary train at the Hall
Road station, causing the death Of
twenty-three persons and the injury Of
many.
The car of the express, which was
crowded, was smashed to pieces and
only six of its occupants escaped. The
road was recently given an electric
equipment.
This is the first serious accident that
has occurred on an electric railway in
England and it filled with horror the
numerous waiting passengers stand
ing at the railroad station, who were
spectators of the disaster.
The collision lifted the first car of
the express completely off the steel
frame and crashed it down again on
the unfortunate passengers, twenty OF
whom were killed outright.

AUTHORITIES THINK SUCCESS

DESTROYING THE sTEGoYA
Medical Experts Believe Present Out
break of Yellow Fever viii Show
the Ability of Science to
Control 1t
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS. July 27-All the
forces engaged in the battle against the
yellow fever scourge today Joined in
expressing belief that, while the situa-
tion has been and is serious enough,
success has already been achieved in
the application of the methods applied.
The hope is held out that for the first
time in the history of the country what
threatened to be a malignant epidemic
of yellow fever will be stamped out
before frost comes and that New Or
leans will be spared the horrors of pre-
vious epidemics.
1t is the opinion of DR.. ]. H. White,
in charge of the Marine hospital forces,
and of the state and local health Of
ficials that. if destruction of the ste
goya checks the spread of the disease
and enables the gradual eradication of
the cases in hand and those which may
be expected to appear for some time to
come in the infected sections the pres
ent visitation of the plague will have
been blessing in disguise, since it will
have demonstrated the ability of
science to control a most viruent out
break.
With the cases reported today the
aggregate since July 1S runs close to
200. The fever first appeared in the
section round the French market and
there large proportion of the fatal
tiles have occurred. The italians there
are notoriously prone to avoid physi-
clans and the fever got a foothold in
the district before it became known to
the authorities.
No precautions were taken to destroy
the mosquitoes and the scourge spread
with such rapidity that the Italians
who could get away fed. some by rail
to surrounding towns and some by
luggers into settlements along the
coast. The result is the appearance of
cases OF fever in various parts of the
city, but principally below Canal street
in neighborhoods tenanted by the poor
er classes.
Almost every instance of new foci
outside of the French market district
is that OF an Italian who escaped
therefrom or of some one of a different
nationality whose business was in the
section. AS far as the health authori-
ties were able to discover today. no
case has thus far developed outside Of
any OF the foully infected districts and
with very few exceptions the deaths
have been among the Italians.
A great cleaning up has begun. Every
ward has been thoroughly organized.
with precinct organizations radiating
from the major body.
Every avenue of egress from the
city has been closed by the rigid quar-
antine, and uninfected sections Of the
city are discouraging any further in
vasion by Italians.
It is next to impossible to get into
Mississippi. Alabama. Texas or Louis
lana towns without detention. Quar-
antines are being made constantly
more rigid since the board OF health
began TO make public the number OF
cases and deaths.

Feathers of the wings of fowls of

in the afternoon" said Burns in telling
of the accident at the receiving hospital
last night, land were going west on
Ninth street busily engaged in CONVEX
sation, as had not seen my sister for
seventeen years. Just as we were about
to cross Ceres avenue an automobile
occupied by two men and running at a
high rate of speed turned from TIE
cross street into Ninth street, going
east. They were going so fast that
they could not make the turn short
enough to avoid striking the rear wheel
of the buggy in which I was driving
with my sister and her friend.
Hurled From Buggy
''The horse jumped to the left as the
automobile whizzed around the corner
and the force of the shock when we
were struck from the rear threw Miss
Tobn and myself forward.
1.-THE horse became more frightened
and dashed into an approaching Long
Beach car going east, striking the front
of the buggy against the fender of the
car. Miss Tobin and I were hurled to
the ground but my sister stayed in the
buggy as the horse ran madly down the
street. When I got up the automobile
was racing down the street with un-
slackened speed"
When the injured persons told their
story to the police there was much in
dignation expressed on the part of the
officers and it is said that a strict in
vestigation into last nights accident
will be made by the local police de-
partment.
In discussing the accident one of the
officials remarked that the automobile
