DELEGATES HURT
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
ELECTRIC CAR CRUSHES BIG
MACHINE
w. c. T. U. Party In Deadly Perll-One
Woman Seriously Injured When
inexperienced Chauffeur
Stops on Track

Three delegates to the w. C. T. u.
convention narrowly escaped death in
a collision between a street car and
an automobile driven by an inexperi-
enced chauffeur at the intersection Of
Adams and Hoover streets yesterday
afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The women and the chauffeur abso-
li;iely refused to give their names and
the whole affair is wrapped in mys-
terry as only one man was found who
would give an account of the affair.
William NJ. Walker, son of DIR. Hugh
X. Walker, pastor of Emmanuel Pres
byterian church of Los Angeles, was on
the University car at the time of the
accident and described it in the follow
ing manner:
Il was on the University car, bound
south on Hoover street. When it ar
rived at the intersection of Hoover
with West Adams l noticed an auto
mobile being driven in weird and un-
canly manner, tacking from side to
side on Adams street. The driver of
the car did not appear to have control
of ~ and it was yawing from side to
side in a most alarming fashion. When
the chauffeur reached the car tracks
he looked to the north for a car and
seeing none proceeded to cross the
tracks. Then, as he turned and saw
the southbound University car, he stop
ped the machine in the middle of the
tracks and the car struck 1t with a
terrific crash and sent the wrecked
auto thirty feet against the curb.
Woman Seriously Injured
1.-THE occupants, three women and
ihe chauffeur, We're thrown out on the
ground with terrible force. But only
une of the women seemed to be seri-
ously injured.
"The car men took all three of the
women to the nearest physician, DR..
]. E. Cowles, at the corner of Adams
and Hoover streets, and he treated
them"
The statement of DR.. Cowles is as fol-
lows:
"Of the three women who were
brought to my residence yesterday af-
ternoon, only one was seriously hurt.
The injured woman suffered broken
arm, and her hips were crushed and
she was severely bruised about the
body
1.-THE others were merely shaken up
and bruised. All of the women abso-
lutely refused to give their names, aud
the only clue to their identity was
their statement that they were dele
gates to the w. G. T. u. convention.
The woman who was most severely in
jured is likely to recover and the 9TH
ers were not hurt to speak Of"
AS far as can be ascertained the
blame for the accident is due to the
carelessness and ineXperience of the
chauffeur.
Every precaution was taken by MEM
bers of the party to conceal their iden-
tity. The number of the machine was
removed almost Immediately after the
accident. Those who saw the affair
say no blame is attached to the motor
man of the University car which struck
the machine.
The automobile was completely
wrecked, the front wheels were crushed
and the tonneau was shattered and the
engine 10 valuable as scrapiron only.

DISCUSSES CAUSES OF
DESERTI0NS FROM ARMY
GEN. AINSWoRTH TELLS WHY so
MANY OCCUR
Says There Is Little Hope That Cam
teen viii Be Restored or Pay
Raised-Declares There Must Be
Change in Public Sentiment
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Major
General F. c. Ainsworth, the military
secretary, in his annual report devotes
much attention to desertions from the
army. Those who know how the can
teen came to be banished, he states,
are not hopeful OF it's restoration; there
is no likelihood Of any such increase
In the soldiers pay as will offset the
greater inducement offered in civil pur-
suits; the comforts and even luxurtes
that are furnished to enlisted men In
our service are even now criticised Dy
some as being not only extravagant but
injurious in their effect on men whose
real business 1t Is to march and fight,
encumbered with few comforts and no
luxuries; and the discipline and in
struction to which the soldier is now
subjected is not likely to be relaxed
in future.
"Our people have little real interest
in the army in time of peace and from
the earliest day of the republic have
been accustomed to look upon it as
more or less unnecessary institution.
Enlistment in the army in time OF
peace Is not uncommonly regarded as
evidence of worthlessness on the part
of the recruit.
"It is safe to predict that desertions
from the army will continue to be ex-
cessive until there shall have been a
radical change Of public sentiment to-
ward the army, and until the deserter
shall come to be regarded as the Grim
inal that he is, to be ostracised and
hunted down as relentlessly as any
other transgressor of the laws. There
are some who believe that the change
will never come until our people shall
have learned, through national disas-
ter and humiliation, that the effective
maintenance of an army of professional
soldiers is absolutely essential to the
preservation of the national honor and
life, and that the trained and disci-
plined troops of modern enemy can
not be withstood by hastily organized
armies of unframed or half trained ci-
Villains"
The desertions in the regular army
during the fiscal year were 6533.

WARsHIP A TOTAL LOSS
No Hope of saIving Hulk and Arms of
Sunken Spanish Cruiser Car
dinaI Cisneros
By Associated Press.

BY Associated HTesS'
FERROL, Spain. Oct. 29.-The naval
Office has given up hope for salving
the hulk and arms of the Spanish
cruiser Cardinal Cisneros, which sank
yesterday near Muros. The vessel is
lying in a bad position in eighty feet
of water.
At the time of the accident, Cardinal
Cisneros, owing to fog, was proceed
ing slowly and taking soundings. The
vessel struck an uncharted rock with
terrific violence. An enormous rent was
made in her bows through which the
water rushed in great volume. The
ship began to sink rapidly. The crew
was called to quarters and observed
perfect discipline. They launched eight
boats, but these were not sufficient to
take off the entire complement of $40
men. The remainder were rescued
under difficult conditions by a steam
trawler and several fishing smacks that
stood by. The ship disappeared in less
than forty minutes.

CLAIM RAILROADS TRIED
TO PACK CONVENTION
INTERSTATE COMMERCE LEAGUE
MAKES CHARGES
Judge Cowan of Fort Worth Declares
Evidence Has Been Secured to
Show That They Tried to Prevent
Endorsement of the President
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-"Evidence tend
ing to prove that efforts were made by
railroad interests to pack the recent
convention of the Interstate Commerce
Law league will be taken to Washing
ton by the notification committee, and
placed before the proper authorities
when they go to the capital to see
President Roosevelt with a copy of the
resolutions adopted by the convention
in Steinway hall"
This statement was made tonight by
Judge Cowan of Fort Worth, Texas,
who was delegate to the convention.
According to Judge Cowan, the execu-
tive committee of the league for sew
eral weeks before the date of the con-
vention had detectives busy gathering
evidence showing that the railroads
were attempting to influence delegates
with the purpose of defeating the OBJ
ject Of the convention in indorsing
President Roosevelts position on the
railroad rate question.
"One of the charges against our con-
vention by the railroad people," said
Judge Cowan tonight sis that our
meeting was held for political purposes
This is manifestly ridiculous as more
than half the delegates in SteinWay
hall were Democrats from southern
states. This movement Is broader
than any political party, and those
connected with the movement include
representatives of every party and
every line of business in the country.
We will organize Immediately in every
state and when congress takes up
President Roosevelt's message on gov
e1nmental rate regulation this winter
we will send one of the largest and
most influential and representative lob
bies to Washington ever seen in the
capital"

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. %
While the city passed quietly with
out bloodshed in the Russian capital
and while the city is outwardly calm,
today's developments all indicate that
crisis is imminent. Although the
streets are filled with troops and re-
Inducements are now pouring in from
Finland, the government seems utterly
powerless to cope with the situation
and many calm observers seem seri-
ously to believe that the present re-
gime is tottering to its fall.
Differences have developed between
Count Witte and Gen. Trepoff and while
the precious moments pass the en-
peror. surrounded by the imperial fam
lily, remains shut up at Peterhof, SEEM
ingly still hesitating as to what course
to pursue.
Grave doubts are expressed as to
whether the imperial guard can now
be relied upon. Early this morning
the fourteenth equipage of sailors OF
the guard, who have been shut up like
prisoners in barracks on the Moska
canal, demolished the windows and fur
niture and in the afternoon a detach-
ment consisting of four officials OF the
guard went to the lawyers assembly
and told the barristers that many OF
the officers and a large part Of the
troops were disgusted with the govern
ment and were ready to enlist in the
movement for freedom. They asked
for aid toward effecting organization
and said they had discussed among
themselves the question of resigning
but decided to show that persons in
uniform could help to achieve liberties.
Even the Cossack patrols in keeping
idlers moving in the streets today
seemed careful to use their whips and
simply drove the crowds along before
their advancing horses.
A meeting of the municipal council
was held this afternoon at which dep
utation of thirty members of the
strikers committee appeared. In an
impassioned speech the leader Of the
deputation presented the following de-
mands of the workmen and affiliated
organizations:
Demands Of Strikers
First. a constitution and political
liberty.
Second, that the city furnish food to
the workmen.
Third, that the city refuse further
supplies to the troops and the police.
Fourth, that the troops be removed
from the water works or otherwise
