F|REMEN HURT
IN COLLISION
CAR HITS WAGON, HURLING
MEN TO GROUND,
Witnesses State Fault of Accident
Lies With Motorman, Who Was
Running Coach at High
Speed

In a collision between Maple avenue
car No. 403 and the hose cart of engine
company No. at the corner of Maple
avenue and East Twenty-fourth street
yesterday noon two firemen We're in
jured, two others hurled to the ground
and one of the horses of the team
badly bruised. The injured are NJ. M.
Richards, driver, and Charles Grose.
Richards sustained a crushed leg and
severe bruises about the body and
Grose was also bruised about the body.
others on the wagon were Capt. C. S.
jenkins and Hoseman Harry Hicks.
In response to still alarm at Thirty
fifth and Central avenues the hose cart
dashed out Of the station at 1915
o'clock. AS the wagon turned the cor
ner to proceed south the proximity of
the tracks to the engine house made it
necessary for the driver to cross them.
In doing so southbound car No. 403
which, it is said by the firemen and res
idents in that vicinity, was travelling
at a high speed, crashed into the hose
cart, throwing the men from their
seats and knocking down the horse on
the left side of the tongue.
Uses Brake Intellectually
Driver Richards was thrown under
the wheels of the hose cart. Capt. Jen-
kins, who was also thrown from the
wagon, seeing that the wheels would
pass over the driver, grasped the brake
and stopped the progress of the cart,
but not in time to prevent the wheel
from partially crushing Richards leg.
The injured men were Immediately re-
moved to the receiving hospital, where
they were treated by Police Surgeon
Quint. Later they were taken to the
California hospital, and are still under
the care of DR.. Quint.
In the collision the forward right
hand steps of the coach were torn off.
The car continued on down the street
about seventy-five feet before it was
brought to a stop.
In the opinion of several witnesses
and the firemen the accident was due
wholly to the rapid speeding of the car.
If a warning bell were sounded by the
motorman 1t was not heard by any of
the firemen, 1t is asserted. The car was
in charge Of Motorman q. w. Gavin
and Conductor ]. w. Myers.

UNION PACIFIC MAKES GAINS

The Union Pacific makes a highly
satisfactory showing. Last year the
Union Paciflc's holdings in other stocks
represented an earning capacity of
about %,OO0,0OO. OF this $3,000,0OO was
paid into the Union Pacific income ac-
count. The Hill stocks have since been
nearly all sold. The Union Pacific has
a surplus estimated at about $100, 000,-
000- What use has been made of this
money, how the sale of the Hill stocks
will affect the "other income" account
of the Union Pacific, and how much
will be earned this year on its increased
common stock, are interesting ques-
tions.
The gross earnings of the company to
May 1 were $6,719,000 ahead Of the same
period last year; net, $2643,146 ahead.
Assuming that May and June will show
but nominal Increases, the earnings this
fiscal year should be in round figures:

Operating expenses ......... 36,250,000

WOMEN WANT TO
SEE PRISONER
WILL ARRAIGN MRS. SCHECK
TO-DAY
Police Unable to Get Any Statement
From stsekpoe Concerning
Murder or His Past
History

All day yesterday people called at
the central police station and asked
where Mrs. Arilla Scheck and Ernest
q. Stackpole were being tried. The
case has attracted widespread attention
and many who went to the station were
women. Very few seemed to care as to
what fate should befall Stackpole, but
all were anxious to see Mrs. Scheck
Some waited near the station all day,
hoping that she might be taken to the
court room and that they might get a
glimpse of her.
Acting Chief of Police Flamuner said
that nothing new has been developed in
the case. He made a firm statement
that Mrs. Scheck is telling the truth
when she says that she was an accom-
plice in killing her husband. The
veracity of the statement that she has
made to the detectives has been tested
In many ways.
The story that she told when first ar
rested concerning the burglars entering
the house and shooting at her husband
was never believed by Captain Flam-
mer. 1T appeared coarse to me-" he
said yesterday.
Believes in Confession
"She told it clumsiiy. When she con-
fessed she talked fluently. There was
not hitch whatever in her statements.
She has repeated the same story
number of different times. Facts con-
cerning her life that she has told to us
have all been verified by other people.
There is no doubt that her confession
is true and that she and Stackpole are
responsible for Scheck's death.
I'VE have not been able to get any
thing out of Stackpole. He simply will
not answer any questions He appears
to be degenerate. We cannot find out
anything concerning his past record.
for he will not tell us. A great deal of
correspondence has been necessary to
find out what his past is, and all of our
letters have not as yet been answered"
Mr.. Flammer says the arrangement
will take place today, but probably not
until this afternoon. because officials
desire to have the case entirely worked
up so that there will be no hitch when
the prisoners are brought into court.
Tragedy May XIII Father
Deputy District Attorney F'redericks
spent much time yesterday questioning
witnesses and preparing questions to
be asked at the arraignment. More
witnesses were subpoenaed yesterday
and some new evidence was gathered
but this was not disclosed TO the public
because the officials say that it might
hurt the case.
Mrs. Scheck bears some evidences Of
remorse. She has not given way to
Mysteries and acts as though she is re-
lieved since she has made clean breast
of the whole affair. She says that she
is anxious for trial, for she does not
like the suspense. For a time after
she confessed she did not seem to care
what became of her. but now that her
husband is buried she seems to give
thoughts to the future.
Len ]. Scheck, the aged father of the
murdered man, acts as though some
one had struck him heavy blow. He
is able to do nothing but brood and
call for his son. 1t is feared that his
sons death may kill him.
