A Close Call.

&. Z. Griffith was down town yester-
day for the first time since he was in
jured in a runaway a week ago to- day
His injuries, especially those near his
heart, are very painful but he is inn
proving SO that he is able to q t around
though with some difficulty. The ac-
cident occurred near the schoolhouse.
While Griffith was giving his attention
to team he was leading behind the
buggy, the team he was driving gave
a jump and jerked him out onto the
irons supporting the tongue and from
there he fell to the ground, with one
foot fast, by which he was dragged
along on the ground and bruised by
one of the wheels. He finally extri-
Gated himself and the buggy wheel
ran over him. He was taken home
and the doctor called who decided
that 30 bones were broken, but the
bruises were severe.

80 evenly matched that the game
was all interesting one to watch.

roYs FOR nEFUGEE TOTS
Christmas Tree Party at Colonial
Theater Is Great Success

six hundred refugee children enjoyed
a blissful time at the Colonial Theater
yesterday afternoon and each and every
one took home a beautiful doll or a
handsome toy. The entertainment was
arranged through the combined efforts
of Miss Izetta Jewel, the Doctors
Daughters and the management of the
theater In which the benefit was held.
Generous donations of money for the
affair were received from all parts of
the country. 1t was decided success
from the time that the curtain went
UP on the first skit of the bright vaude-
vile performance until the last proud
possessor of doll trudged up the aisle
and went home happy.
The bright, warm theater with the
catchy music and clever skits amused
the children greatly until the crown
ing climax of the. day came in the rob-
bing of the Christmas tree. A Santa
Claus, guised true to legendary lore
and borrowed for the occasion from
Hale's, was the center of attraction.
With the last curtain call the presents
were distributed to the expectant
youngsters. As each child came up the
aisle some toy was placed in the out
stretched arms. For the girls real
dolls dolls with fair or dark hair, were
to be had, and for the youngsters of
the opposite sex tops, games and other
toys were distributed The supply
held out to the last, and every one
went away happy.
The credit for originating the benefit
lies largely with Miss Izetta Jewel. the
leading lady of the company playing
at the Colonial Theater. Seeing the
sad little faces in the various refugee
camps the tender-hearted lady of the
footlights decided to supply some glad
ness for the children when Christmas
came around. The young ladies of the
Doctors Daughters were greatly inter-
ested in the project and took an active
part In the work. Martin Kurtzig,
manager of the playhouse, was told of
the plan and entered heartily into CO.
operation. He placed the playhouse
with all the attaches at the service of
the workers, and in addition supplied
the Christmas tree. The company of
players also responded to the call and
assisted in the vaudeville performance.
Theatrical people from various parts
of the company contributed to pur-
chase the presents.
Miss Marckley of the company with a
banjo solo set the little feet to beating
time She was followed by Miss Edna
Mcclure, who sang one of the late
songs, which proved familiar to her
young audience. Miss Jewel with a
clever little dialogue won the applause
of her proteges. Reyna Belasco, the
clever Juvenile dancer pleased greatly
with her catchy number and drew calls
time and again. Moving pictures fol-
lowed and then the toys were given
out.
The following young ladies of the
Doctors Daughters assisted in the en-
tertainment: Miss Jean Pollok, Miss
Norwood. Miss E. Everding and Miss
Jeanette Hooper.

popularity when the craze becomes gen.

STEAMER DEPICTED
As DEATH TRAP
Boys Describe Conditions
on the Despatch When
Explosion Killed Youth
OPEN LIGHTS IN USE

John Doherty, George McGue and
Patrick Forestal. three of the boys who
were in the boiler-room of the Cali
fornia and Oregon Coast Steamship
Company's steamer Despatch on De-
cember g. 1905, when the explosion Of
an oil tank resulted In the death Of
1S-year-old Jimmie Mitchell, were wit
nesses yesterday In the $25.0ee damage
suit brought against the steamship
company by j. Mitchell, father of the
boy killed.
The jury in the case was drawn last
Thursday, and the hrst testimony for
the prosecution was that given by the
three lads alleged to have been en-
ployed on the steamer with Mitchell
in violation of the child labor law.
Forrestal, IA years of age, told of being
In the boiler-room of the steamer at
8 o'clock on the fateful afternoon, when
man entered with an unprotected
torch. A moment later, he said, there
was a binding flash which knocked all
the boys to the floor and burned For
restal's hands severely. He said that
as he started to climb the ladder to-
ward the hatch above Mitchell called
tempted to drag the wounded boy aft
er him. He had nearly succeeded in
reaching the opening when Mitchell fell
back, and he returned again for him.
This time he told the younger boy to
hold on to his leg, and again almost
gained the deck when MitcheI's grasp
relaxed and he fell back into the boiler
room to his death.
Doherty and McGue gave practically
the same account OF the disaster as
that given by Forrestal and declared
that the first time they ATTEMPTED to
reach the deck they were kicked back
by some man above, whose identity
they could not establish They also
said that they had asked for safety
lights, but failed to get them, and that
the odor of gas was unmistakable in
the vicinity of the tanks. When the
explosion occurred. they said, they had
finished scaling the boilers and were
cleaning drip pans, which contained
about two inches of oil and water
mixed.
Captain James Guthrie, assistant
boiler Inspector under the local board,
was the only other witness who testi-
fed yesterday He told of having in
spected the boilers the day previous to
the explosion in company with Inspector
Dolan, and said the gas was so strong in
the hold that they refused to work
with the candles given them and
were handed two safety electric lights.
one of which was defective Guthrie
also described the construction of the
vessel and the location of the boilers
and oil tanks.
At o'clock in the afternoon the Jury
visited and inspected the vessel, which
is now lying at the Harrison street
wharf. The case was continued until
January q at 10 a. m

Through the efforts of the Salvation
Army nearly 5000 of the worthy poor
of this city and Oakland will enjoy a

was numbered and filled according to
the size of the family, and each recep-
tacle contained chicken, with addi-
tional meat for the large families,
bread, potatoes. canned goods, cereals.
celery, nuts, candy and oranges, every
thing, In fact. which thoughtful con-
