ley car on the Haight street line ran
away this morning on the steep hill
leading from Cough street to Market
and crashed into another car of the
same line. injuring the motorman so
that he will die, besides injuring a
number Of passengers.
The hill is one of the steepest in the
city and was traversed by the cars
of the old cable system until the super
visors after the fire gave the United
railroads permit to convert the line
into an overhead trolley system.
A rule of the company prohibits
motormen from descending hill until
the track is clear, but the crew of the
second car disregarded this order and
started down the hill while the other
car was on the grade.
When the brakes failed number of
passengers jumped from the cars, both
of which were crowded, and many re-
ceived injuries Of a more or less serious
nature. Motorman Patrick McDowney
of the front car received a fracture

Notes

Exciting times at Los Angeles high
school yesterday furnished an interest
ing respite from studies when athletic
literary and social meetings occupied
large part of the afternoon.
At noon O. monster meeting of all the
students was held in front of the school
and the football eleven, which last year
tied Los Angeles high with Throop and
Polytechnic, was presented with sweat
ers bearing the school initials. Profess
sor Housh announced to the pupils that
the board of education had agreed to
buy a 200-foot square lot of ground be-
side the school for athletic purposes.
and the students responded with cheers
for the board, followed by three more
for Professor Housh.
Lawrence Hill, president of the stu
dent body, made the speech of presenta-
ton to the team, following which Miss
Ford, the secretary, gave the members
their sweaters as they responded to
their names.
Stan Mitchell, the captain, received
his first and made a short speech of ac-
ceptance, as did Vaughn Hutchins, who
followed him. Then came Wallbridge,
Skinner, Waddington, Montgomery,
Siler, Goodnow, Cochran, Walker De-
cius, Farriman, McF'ee, Johnson and
Lull. AS each player stepped forward
he was greeted with three cheers.
Star and Crescent Meets
Later in the afternoon the Star and
Crescent society convened for its semi
annual election of officers. The excit-
ing times that have in days past
marked the first meeting of the term
were absent, recent order of the board
of education having put stop to all
class demonstrations. The senior b
class displayed its colors to the school
for the first time, Nile green and white
having been chosen.
Don Goodwin was elected president
by a unanimous vote. For the other
officers the contest was very close. Miss
Mildred Hunter was elected vice presi-
dent, Aida Banziger secretary and
Ralph Morgan treasurer.
Senior AS Have Spread
By far the greatest affair of the day
was the senior A spread in the high
school lunch house. Almost one hum

Knowledge that state division had
been discussed in Sacramento, even IN

sion in Los Angeles hopeful that the
question will be taken up seriously In

stands apart from Northern California

Gilbert S. Wright, president Of the

'There is not one reason for con-
tinuance of the present state of affairs,
but a million good ones in favor of state
division" said Mr.. Wright. Il always
have been strongly in favor OF this
project. California's present size is TOO
unwieldy. Southern California Is pay
ing assessments to keep up decreasing
valuations in the other end of the state.
1.-THE taxation placed upon this Sec
ton is not proportionate or Just.
Southern California is only one
third of the state in size. The northern
end wags us and never defers to South
ern California save when it is policy.
"The north predominates. The au-
thorities do not understand our sltua-
tion, our conditions and our needs.
Therefore we do not get just represen-
tation.
South Ruled by North
Southern California cannot grow as
1t should with it's base 800 miles north
over the divide, and the controlling
faction in the legislature looking only
to the welfare of Northern California.
Southern California now is used to
bolster up the entire state. This should
not be so. We need all our strength
down here. AS an independent state
our territory would be more compact
and our efforts could be concentrated
upon the upbuilding of all sections. We
would have harmonious government
and interests. We would be governed
by our own representatives

JURY AWARDS.
MORE DAMAGES
GRINDS OUT REGULAR GRIST
OF VERDICTS
Fifth Victim of Redondo Collision Is
Given $1ooo-Many other Sim
liar Cases Set for
Trial

For the fifth time awithin a month
the Los Angeles-Redondo Railway COM
pany was yesterday held guilty OF
negligence in connection with the hor-
rible accident of the Forty-second streeI
switch last August in which several
were killed and more than a score in
jured.
Yesterday c. A. Shirley, one of the
passengers on a Redondo car at the
time of the accident, was awarded $1,000
damages by jury in department. of
the superior court. Shirley was not
badly injured. but the railroad was
held responsible for the damage and he
received the settlement.
On Thursday jury in department
returned a verdict in the case of Charles
Travers, injured in the same wreck,
giving him $4,000 damages, and other
awards of various size have been
handed out from the jury room for a
month or two past.
A brother of the Shirley who received
damages yesterday was killed in the
Redondo accident, and warrant for
the arrest of Conductor Ed Witte was
returned by the grand jury, but the
conductor fed and was never appre-
hended.
Jury Fixes Damages
At present there are about a dozen
cases left in which the Redondo COM
pany is named as defendant. On the
morning of August 1S, last year, two
Redondo cars met in headon collision
on the single track 'at Forty-second
street. At that point the conductors
are ordered to leave a registration TO
the effect that their car has already
passed that stretch Of track.
IN fhaf rOnrninp fhara WAS no signal
given and no registration left. and the
citybound car swung onto the single
track at top speed at just about the
same time that the beachbound car
filed with passengers entered the
stretch from the other end.
The collision strewed the injured
about the tracks, and the claim agents
began to patch up cases as rapidly as
possible and succeeded in preventing
about ten cases from getting to the
courts, making in each case fair
settlement.
AS the negligence of the company's
employees was so apparent many OF the
victims held out for heavy sums which
the railroad refused to pay, leaving 1t
to the jurors to settle.
Suits aggregating over 100000 have
been filed, and In each case the amount
has been considerably decreased in fix
ing the damages.
one peculiar feature OF the case is
that the juries for all the cases thus
far tried have been drawn from the
same panel and practically the same
Jurors have discussed each trial.
Another case where the railroads.
responsibility is causing them losses in
the courts is the suit OF the victims of
the accident at the Goose Neck curve
on October l3.

S Hodson, a New York mining man
who represents some of the strongest
eastern syndicates now operating in
Nevada, has just finished tour of the
Lee district, and upon his report will
depend the purchase of seven groups of

While Mr.. Hodson would not make
public his report upon the properties
in which he is particularly interested,
he spoke very highly of the district as
a whole and of properties on which
mining has been started in particular.
