CONDUCTOR IS
SERIOUSLY HURT
CAUGHT BETWEEN C0UPLERS
OF ELECTRIC
Injuries to Paul s. Adams of the
Redondo Lone May Result in
Death-Motorma Held
BIameless

Paul S. Adams, a conductor on Re-
dondo Electric railway car, is prob
ably fatally injured as result OF q
collision between two cars early yes
terday morning at the corner of Forty
eighth street and the extension OF
Grand avenue. Faulty air brakes and
the carelessness of motorman are the
causes for the accident.
H. C. Kipp and Adams we're in charge
of car that was detailed to bring a
freight car into the city. The latter
was standing on a curved Sidetrack.
Conductor Adams ran ahead of his car
to make the coupling, but he noticed
that the ordinary coupling iron would
not be long enough to make the con-
nection. He signaled his motorman to
stop the car. Kipp applied the brakes
and brought the car to a full stop.
Adams paid no more attention to the
car at the time and turned his atten-
tion to the freighter. Casually glanc-
ing around he saw that the other car
was almost upon him and was so close
that he did not have sufficient time to
leap out of the way.
Caught Between Cars
He was caught between the two cars
and badly crushed Kipp heard Adams
yell and reversed the power immediate
ly, relieving MIN. He fell TO the ground.
Car q was the first passenger to come
along bound for Los Angeles and the
injured man was put on board and
taken to the receiving hospital.
Doctors Cook and Friedman attended
Adams, and they say the injured man
is in a critical condition and may not
live. He is conscious and to all out
side appearances he does not seem to
be badly hurt, but he is suffering from
serious internal injuries.
The only explanation that Kipp can
offer is that his air brakes failed to
hold and the car began to move so
slowly that he did not notice it. Adams
does not blame his motorman for the
accident, although he does think that
it was queer that the man did not
notice his perdicament sooner.
Adams has been in the employ Of
the company for nearly a year and has
borne a good reputation for being
careful employe. He is a single man
and has been living at Redondo. Kipp
is known to be a good man at the for
ward end. The company will hold all
investigation over the accident to de-
termine the cause of it.

THEY BECAME WEARISoME
New Ordinance Will Be Drafted Prob

All Houses Except in the Excep-

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Sept. 1S.-The city
council this afternoon adopted reso-
luton of much Importance and at the
same time indicated that the ordnance

It will be next to impossible to change

There has been a lot OF complaint

Maryland's old bungalows were solo
recently all of those disposed OF Were
moved away and caused considerable
trouble.
The climax was capped when some
negroes recently secured permission TO
move a small house to another part OF
town. In the first place the council
did not know that the permit was asked
for by negroes and when the house was
about TO be moved luOSS VIII WOnAo

came in with a strong protest.
Late this afternoon a resident asked
permission to move a dwelling. NO
sooner was the request made than
Councilman Crandall moved to lay over
for one week all applications for such
permission pending the introduction OF
the new ordinance. This motion pre-
vailed.
BY a vote of six to one the council
decided to allow the use of the city
court room by the Pasadena justices
of the peace. The justices always used
this room UP to a few months ago,
when former City Attorney Fitzgerald
ruled that the city had no right to
allow the use OF this room for other
than city purposes. City Attorney
Wood does not hold with this opinion.
and hereafter the room may be used
by the justices.
A strong protest was received from
the Home Telephone company against
being required to put its wires UNDER
ground on North Fair Oaks avenue. w.
M. Eason, representing the company,
stated to the council that 1t had cost
a lot of money to recently restring the
wires, while to put them underground
would cost an additional $4,000. The
case went over for one week.

TOLD MILLIONAIRE STORIES
And Now Wants His Pay. BrOkaw
Estate Being Sued for
Peculiar Service.

A dispatch from Bloomington, H.,
says Capt. Lewis Ijams is suing the
estate of the late Abraham Brokaw,
who died two years ago leaving ST.
1000, for $4,000, Ijams render
ed unique services to BrOkaw in the
last four years of his life, which he
specifies as follows: Companion and
escort, reader and story teller, in
ventor of cheap entertainments, de-
flector of 'designing females, pro-
tector of Brokaw from his own fool
ishness.
Brokaw went to Bloomington a
poor boy, in the '40s, and while en-
gagged at his trade of ploughmaker
and wheelwright he invested every
dollar he could spare in land at from
81 to $3.50 an acre. He also loaned
money on mortgages and foreclosed
on thousands of acres and added
them to his holdings.
Capt. Ijams was of great service to
Brokaw in protecting him from wo-
men who wanted to marry the aged
millionaire. They were of all kinds
and conditions and from all parts of
the country. In some instances force
had to be used to get rid of them
Some tried fattery and bribery to
secure an audience with the old man,
but all in vain. Ijams' duty was
made harder by the fact that Bro
kaw made love to several women and

THE linen handkerchief, physi-

IN Letter TO GRIGGS.
Best Way to Support the President Is
to Elect Democrats in Place
of Republicans.

BRYAN to Chairman Griggs, of the

been made public and is as follows:
Hon. ]. M. Griggs-Dear Mr..
Griggs: 1 am very sorry that it is
impossible to go to Cynthiana, KY
but as | wired you all my time Is
taken until election. l wish you
wOu]d convey my regrets to our
demo cratic candidate for congress
in that district, and say to him that
/ am very anxious for his success.
The indications are that we shall
nave the next congress, and then our
democratic house can send to the
xanate remedial measures and join
issues with the republicans if they
refuse to adopt them. The republic
can leaders are so under control of
xredatory wealth that they will not
support the president when he at
tempts to follow democratic advice
and secure some reform. The presi-
dent does not go far enough or fast
enough in the direction of reform,
but his political associates are all the
time throwing obstacles in his way.
1.-The best way to support the pres
ident is to elect democrats in the
place of republicans, for the records
show that the democrats have stood
