A West Side e

Perhaps this may strike the eye of
some city people. You're feeling just
a little run down, you're signing for a
trip to the sea. Why not rent ready
furnished apartments in the new West
Side for a couple of weeks and do your
own housekeeping at a very small cost.
1t will be better than paying the doctor
or costly hotel bills. Two sleeping
rooms, dining room and kitchen, bath,
toilet, front and back porch, southern
exposure. Rent, too weeks SIS. Ask
John N. Reeve about it at depo korner.

wildwood Athletic Association

The Wildwood Athletic Association
which was recently organized is be-
coming quite an interesting thing.
The old meadow pavilion has been
secured and they will take possession
as soon as it has been repaired. The
boys deserve the support of the COM

no doubt be a benefit to all its members.
1t is proposed to convert one room of
the building into a basket ball hall,
M into a gymnasium and the other
two into reading rooms. AT a recent

buttons so that they could get a start.

dent who has charge of the collection.

tains the Interstate Commerce Commission

This stand has led TO some Of the trouble

proposition, as the ocean rates vary just
as does the price OF grain or any other
commodity. They are subject entirely TO
the law OF supply and demand.
An effort has been made by the railroads

GRIPLESS BRAKES CAUSE
SMASH ON KEARNY STREET
Intervention of Sand Wagon, Which Is
Demolished, Prevents Collision
Between Electric Cars

The intervention of a sand wagon
prevented collision yesterday be-
tween two crowded electric cars on
Kearny street, near Pacific. The sand
wagon was demolished and the driver
slightly injured. A passenger on
one of the cars was also hurt.
Both cars We're southbound. One
was standing at Pacific street. The
following car came down the hill, it's
speed unimpeded by the gripless
brakes that motorman and conductor
set in vain. Just as everybody was
preparing for crash and subsequent
tragedy, the sand wagon interviewed.
BY the time the car got through the
sand wagon its headway had been
checked.
The wagon was demolished, but Dan
Casey, the driver, who lives at 1888
Twenty-sixth street. escaped with
confusion of the right knee. The in-
jured passenger was Albert Martin of
7S2 Fourteenth street, who suffered a
confusion of the right thigh. The in
juries of Casey and Martin were treat
ed at the Harbor Hospital.
