NOT 50 SERIOUS
Was the Lake junction Collision Sun
day Night as 1t Seemed on the
Spot-Ail the Injured
Rarouarinn

The results of the street car collis-
sion at the Lake Junction Sunday
night were not as disastrous as it at
first appeared.
Ernest Guetal, of Sycamore street,
who was removed to Aultman hospital
supposed to be seriously injured, had
so far recovered as to leave the hos
pital Monday noon. 1t was at first
thought that he was injured internal
ly. His injuries, however, consisted
of a sprained back and cuts about the
head and arms.
J. X. Myler, of Caldwell, who was
cut about the face and bruised was
able to leave for home Monday morn
ing. When the accident occurred he
was taken to the Courtland. where
he had been stopping.
Motorman e. l.. Follet, who was the
only occupant Of the city car. will
be able to resume his duties in a few
days. Considering the extent to which
the cars were damaged, that more of
the passengers were not injured,
seems remarkable.
1t was discovered today that there
is rule requiring all interurban cars
to stop at the lake junction, to guard
against just such accidents as that of
Sunday night. This point is also pro-
vided with signal light and if the
story of eye witnesses is true, the
light did not show a clear track for
the interurban.
The suburban had been delayed
about a half hour just out of Massil-
lon, and the motorman was conse-
quently trying to gain time, when the
collision occurred. A thorough inves-
tigation is being made by the railroad
company and no opinion will be given
out until complete report is receiv-
ed.
The CA company has been very
fortunate in this city as this is the
first severe accident it has had
for over year.

BREWERY COMBINE
Attacked Under the Valentine Act.

Local parties who are interested in
the Stark-Tuscarawas Brewery COM
pany are watching with interest the
outcome of the fight instituted against
the Columbus brewery combine.
A suit quo warranto was filed in
the circuit court Of Gallia county
against the Hoster Columbus Asso-
citation Breweries company by the
state of Ohio on relation of A, o. Dick
ey, prosecuting attorney. The petit
tion alleges that the Hoster Brewing
company, the C. Born & Son company,
the N. Sch'ee & Son company and the
Columbus Brewing company were all
engaged in competitive trade until the
said companies were organized into
one to create and carry out restric-
tions in the trade of brewing, to es-
tablish the price of their product In
among themselves and their purchas-
ers, all in violation of the Valentine
antitrust act; and to make possible
the arbitrary raising and lowering Of
the price of beer, ale and malt liquors,
ice and similar products throughout
Ohio; aso that meetings are held for
that purpose. It is asserted that all
the powers and franchises exercised
by the Hoster Columbus Associated
Breweries company are unlawful. The
petition prays that the company be
adjudged to have forfeited and sur
rendered its corporate rights and to
be ousted from doing business In
Ohio.
The local company is organized
along similar lines to that of the one
at Columbus ard 1t is feared that In
the event of the court finding adverse.

San Francisco to be Our Safest
CITY.

1t is fortunate that San Francisco was
construction, and the business city that
is to be was largely Of plans yet under
contemplation. The modern steel struc-
lures escaped practically without dam
age by the earthquake, and the con-
struction of the proposed buildings of
similar nature can now be pursued with
added assurance as to their stability.
The experience will make of San Fran
cisco the safest place in the country in
which to reside. A danger realized is a
danger guarded against. Beyond any
other city, the new San Francisco will be
proof against quakes and proof against
fires.
The city will be rebuilt under require
ments of the new laws which will pre-
vent faulty construction and promote ar
tistic and architectural effects The
heights of buildings may be limited to
one and one.h half times the width of the
street, and avenues surely shall be wild
ened.
The city is not only to be beautified, but
enabled to isolate fires and to provide
clearer avenues of intercommunication
AS with Chicago and Baltimore, so the
destructive fire in San Francisco will be
in the end the foundation for finer and
a greater city, which within reasonable
length of time will reach in progress a
point far beyond that occupied before the
earthquake and fire.
The courage, common sense and charity
that this crisis proved are possessed by
the citizens of San Francisco are of far
more value to the city than the material
greatness destroyed H. Hartman in
Sunset Magazine.
