'COAST SEEKING
REPRESENTATION
An Increase of Membership
for Interstate Body Is
Advocated in Resolution

The Manufacturers and Producers
Association of California adopted reso-
lutions yesterday favoring the increase
of members in the Interstate Commerce
Commission from five to seven, and
giving representation to the Pacific
Coast and to the Northwest on the
commission, each to have one member.
This action was prompted by the opin-
ion of business men and manufacturers
on this coast that, considering the lack
of knowledge on the part of Eastern
people regarding the peculiar conditions
that exist on the Pacific slope and also
the fact that the commission as now
constituted represents only the coun-
try east of the Missouri River, there is
danger that the ruling that was won
in the fight with the st. Louis jobbers
in behalf of Pacific Coast interests may
be overturned on possible subsequent
hearing. Should this take place great
damage would be caused to the busi-
ness of this coast.
The manufacturers and producers
also resolved, in view of the fact that
the Pacific Coast is not represented on
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
that it would not be beneficial to the
commercial interests of the coast to
give the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion additional power to make arbi-
trary transportation rates. 1t was de-
clared that the present interstate COM
merce law is proper one If measures
are taken to expedite the hearing of
cases on appeal which involves the es-
tablishment of court of transporta-
ton, the decisions of which should be
final except in cases where the consti-
tutionality of the DEGREES was ques-
toned.
A resolution was adopted favoring
the recession of the Yosemite and the
Mariposa Big Tree Grove to the United
States.

-, Alice O'Day, the young woman who
was painfully injured in an automobile
accident on April 1, 1904, brought suit
Yesterday for $4,000 damages against
!Ieorge Whittell Jr., whose guest she
was at the time of the accident. Miss
ODay says that at the time Whittell
was acting as his own chauffeur and
became reckless in his management of
the auto.
=. In the vehicle besides Miss O'Day
were Miss Lois Henry, Billy Otis, the
boxer, and a professional chauffeur.
The. party left Oakland bound for Hay
wards and the accident occurred about
8 o'clock in the evening. While on the
San Leandro road, opposite Hawley
avenue, near the Moss tract, buggy
suddenly loomed in front of the swiftly
moving machine. Before Whittell had
. a chance to avert collision the crash
came. Whittell, however, gave turn
TO- the wheel lever as the vehicles col
lided and over went the automobile.
Miss Henry, Otis and the chauffeur
/: were thrown out, while Whittell and
. Miss O'Day were caught under the
, overturned machine. The Misses Neill.
two. elderly women who were in
:. the buggy were hurled into the road,
:. one sustaining fracture of the collar
bone and a dislocation of the shoulder,
the other receiving internal injuries.
Miss O'Day was taken out senseless,
with her head and body badly gashed
and. bruised. Upon regaining con-
sciousness she complained of internal
injuries. In her complaint she alleges
that some bones were broken; that she
was in bed thirteen weeks, and that
she has become a cripple for life.
The occupants of the buggy were
treated at San Leandro, while the
members of Whittells party were
driven to Fruitvale. where their inju-
ries were attended. Later the party
came to the city and Miss ODay went
under the care of DR.. S. G.. Boyd. In
August of last year Dr. Victor G. vecki
brought suit against Whittells father
and DR.. Boyd for $4,000 for services rem
dered to Miss O'Day. DR.. Vecki al
legged that he had been employed by
DR. Boyd, acting as the elder Whit
tells agent, to perform an operation
upon the young woman. This action is
still in litigation.
