CAR CRASHES DOWN
FILLMORE HILL.
Fastenings Give Way and
Passengers Narrowly
Escape Serious Harm
THROWN TO CURB

Ffllmore-street hill, between Broad
way and Green street, which the
spleler of "Seeing San Francisco" is
wont to proclaim the steepest grade in
San Francisco climbed by a street-car
line, and which has been fertile in
spectacular accidents, was the scene
yesterday afternoon of wild dash
down the incline by a car of the
United Railroads. The score or more
of passengers who were tossed about,
when the car came to sudden halt
at Green street accounted themselves
fortunate when they picked themselves
up and found their injuries to COM
prise few bruises and a bad jarring
The accident was due to the parting
from the cable of the drag or plow
attached to the car, which was pro-
ceeding in the direction of the bay, and
occurred half a block from the ter
minus of the slot at Green street. The
freed car sped down the grade with
accelerated motion and was brought up
with sharp jerk at Green street when
the drag reached the end of the slot,
which it tore up for a distance of five
feet.
F. c. Dibbern, the motorman, did
much to prevent serious accident
The moment the fastenings of the ca
Bile and drag gave way he set his
brakes hard and then turning to the
passengers prevented many of them
from jumping. He also prepared them
Tor the sudden stop and, acting upon
his advice. none of the passengers in
the front part of the car were thrown
off,
AS soon as the down car gave way
the ascending car at the other end of
the cable, then near the top of the
hill started to back down the hill
toward Green street, and had it r.,t
been for the splendid condition of the
brakes. together with the weight of
the heavy cable, there is no doubt
catastrophe would have occurred.
A few days ago the down car on
this line jumped the track near Green
street and several passengers were
thrown to the ground. Monday the troll
ley wire was broken at the Green
street crossing and lay on the ground
for some time, menace to all who
passed that way

COLLINS TRIES To
HOODWINk COURT.
Judge Hebbard Refuses
to Sign Paper That
Is Innocent on Face.

You always want to put the cart be
fore the horse, Mr.. Collins" said Judge
Hebbard in a testy manner yesterday
to the man OF many wives, who had
prepared another document which was
innocent enough on its face, but which
would have altered the record most sat
isfactorily for Collins had the court
signed it. Il have told you that I will
sign nothing and make no orders until
the transcript is prepared"
Not a bit dismayed by the fact that
Judge Hebbard had to all intents and
purposes turned him down the day be-
fore, the jailed attorney bobbed up
merrily yesterday. 1t was a very little
thing, he said, that he wanted signed.
As a matter of fact, so he told the
court, all he wanted was to have Judge
Hebbard sign a certificate admitting
that he had denied the writ of error
on Federal questions alone.
Il did not deny the writ because Of
Federal grounds" retorted the Judge.
Il told you that 1 denied it because it
had been previously passed upon by the
District Court of Appeals and Judges
Murasky and Trout of the Superior
Court. I will sign no orders for you.
Nothing will be done until the District
Attorney has been given ample notice
Had Collins secured the Judges sig
nature TO the certificate he would have
been able to take TO the Supreme Court
a record that would have contradicted
itself The transcript would have
proved that Judge Hebbard did not de-
eide the writ of habeas corpus on Fed
eral questions. and the certificate would
have made another statement.

FAMILY WARS OVER
PRICE Of COFFIN.
Sister Accuses Brother of
Spending Too Much
for Fathers Funeral

Whether a s215 oak coffin, with an
additional 500 for funeral expenses,
was too great an outlay for the cere-
monies attending the interment of
George Ripper Anderson, is the ques-
tion that has been agitating the fam
lily of the late deceased. George Will
liam Anderson, who acted as admin
istrator, stood for the bill. and his sis
ter, Jessie Goodmurphy, declared that
1t is far too high, extravagant, in fact.
Judge Kerrigan, however, agreed with
the brother and the accounting was ap-
proved.
George Ripper Anderson was for
some time superintendent of the dor
mitory at Stanford University. Accord
ing to his daughters, he frequently dis
cussed with his family the momentous
question of the style in which he was
to be buried. 1t was agreed, so their
account runs, that 500 was more than
enough money to waste on a funeral
Anderson was agreeable to a metallic
coffin, and it was conceded that a 500
bill would cover all costs.
Later Anderson moved to San Fran
cisco to live with his son, and it was
here that he died. His son., who was
Later appointed administrator, took
charge of affairs and used his own
ideas about collins. No metallic coffin
for him. He went to an undertaken
dllQ procured dH OAK CdSkeI dl d cost
of S215, some $35 off the regular price,
the undertaken testified
When it came to settling the account
to make way for partial distribution
OF the estate the sisters objected. If
their brother persisted in having such
an expensive funeral, they thought he
should stand the bill himself. To this
course William Anderson objected, and
in consequence Judge Kerrigan was
given the pleasure of deciding.
Il think that was a reasonable ex-
pense," said the court

Miss Lee was produced and according

newed her offer.

Hayes Valley youth.
Then came the preacher. the two

RUNNING SORES
COVERED LIMBS
Little Girls Obstinate Case of
Eczema = instantaneous Relief
BY Cuticura-LittIe Boys Hands
and Arms Also Were a Mass
Of Torturing Sores = Grateful
Mother Says
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

ain reply to your letter I write you
my experience, and you are privileged
TO use il as you see fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by
very prominent physician for an obsti-
nate case Of eczema, ] resorted TO the
Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence of the trouble.
In July Of this year a little boy In
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours bis hands and arms were a mass
of torturlng sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
anointed them with the Cuticura Oint-
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weekS his
hands and arms healed up; SO we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from doctor, and where
II costs from twenty. TO twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.
