MOTORMAN HELD
. FOR
MUST ANSWER FOR JACOB
SONS DEATH
coroner's Jury Finds Car That Caused
the Accident Was Running at
High Rate of
Speed

f. o. Crowley, motorman No. SS2 OF the
Los Angeles Railway company, who was
in charge of car No. 544 of the West
Eleventh street line which ran down and
| injured Arthur Jacobson and his father,
Lorenz jacobson, at Eleventh and Ava
rado streets last Tuesday night, from
| which injuries Arthur jacobson died early
yesterday morning, is prisoner In the
city jail on warrant issued by the cor
oner charging him with being responsible
for the young mans death.
! According to the finding Of the coroners
jury the car was running at excessive
speed and was beyond control at the time
| of the accident, and the motorman either
did not or could not stop his car in time
| to prevent the accident.
| Whether the accident was due to the
| carelessness of the motorman or to
fault in the mechanical working of the
car brakes the jury does not say. 1t was
one or the other which caused the death
| of the Jacobson boy, and Coroner Lanter-
| criminal courts must finally place the
blame.
How the Accident Occurred
| The accident occurred at about o'clock
last Tuesday night The Jacobsons, father
and son, were returning to their nome,
ride. They were driving south on Alva-
RADIO street, had reached the intersection
| of Eleventh street and were proceeding
| slowly across the tracks of the street car
company when Crowleys car came along
at a high rate of speed. 1t is said that
there was no sounding of bells or whistles
| and that the car on the down grade
crashed into the buggy without any
warning.
! Young Jacobson and his father were
| thrown from their vehicle. The horse at
| tached to the buggy was so badly injured
that 1t was KILLED by Foster patrolman.
| The injured people were taken to their
home and medical attention given them.
Later both were removed to the Clara
Barton hospital and there, yesterday
morning, young Jacobson passed away.
The autopsy showed that he had received
internal injuries and that no possible
! treatment could have saved his life.
From testimony adduced at the inquest
| the jury found that the car which struck
the buggy in which the dead boy and his
| father were riding was being run at an
excessive rate of speed, and for this rea-
son alone the jury decided to hold the
motorman to the criminal court
Crowley will be in police court this
morning to answer to charge of man.

AS a result of conferences held dur
ing the week it is practically decided
that an annex to the city hall will be
buift on the garden spot adjoining the
municipal building on Broadway. This
will need the ratification of the city
counciiffrst however.
Mayor Harper favored a new site on
North Main street if property owners
are still willing to donate ground to the
city, but he regards the time just now
as not quite ripe, hence favorssthe tenn
porary arrangement to utilize the open
area adjoining the present municipal
The rents which the city will save by
using this building will pay the estimated
cost of it's construction in three years.
Probably $4,000 will cover the expense.
At present dozen outside offices in
other buildings are rented to house mu-
nicipal officers and all OF these VIII be
concentrated in the annex; Besides,
crowded now that immediate, additional
space must be provided for them, too.
One element at the. city hall favors
the mansard roof and adding a new story
to the hall. This, however, it is thought,
will interfere with the sale of the build
ing which is contemplated soon, and the
great weight. would be big factor, and
Dossibly a new elevator service would
have to be installed.
The two-story annex could be built OF
artificial stone, which could easily be
torn down and used again elsewhere;
and the work could be done in few
weeks, whereas the other project would
require months.
