Nine persons we're more or less seri-
ously injured and forty or fifty Others
shaken up shocked, cut and bruised
in two street car accidents which oc-
Cured last night. The most serious
was a collision between Monrovia car
and a short line Pasadena car at One
onta Junction a little after 10 O'Clock
last night.
The short line car was following
close on the trail of the Monrovia car,
both bound north. At the switch
where the Monrovia car turns off the
conductor dismounted 20 set the tracks
and the Monrovia ar pulled onto the
switch. Believing the car ahead to be
in the clear the motorman on the short
line car turned on full speed and
crashed into the rear of the Monrovia
car, which had not left the main tracks.
AS a result of the collision both cars
were badly damaged and about thirty
people injured chiefly by flying glass.
With the exception of five persons,
all the injured were able to go to their
homes Those with broken bones were
first taken to the Pacific Electric hos
pital at Pasadena and from there sent
to their homes in an ambulance. Mr..
Kenny, the Cincinnati torrist who was
so seriously injured, was taken on to
Monrovia IN q special car, where he
was turned over to the care of friends.

Prisoner Expresses Keen DIsappoint.
ment-Efforts to Be Made to
Have Him Released
on Bail
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 12.-Hopelessly
divided-seven for verdict of guilty
of murder in the first degree and five
for acquittal on the ground of insanity
the jury which has since January %
last been trying H. I Thaw, reported
today, after forty-eight hours and eight
minutes of deliberation, that it could
not possibly agree on a verdict.
The twelve men were promptly dis
charged by Justice Fitzgerald, who da
clared that he, too, believed their task
was hopeless. Thaw was remanded to
the Tombs without bail to await
second trial on tn, charge of having
slain Stanford White.
When this new trial will be M ono
connected will. the case would tonight
express an inion. District Attorney
Jerome declared that there were ma iAS,,
other persons accused of homicidss
awaiting trial, and Thaw would have
TO take his turn with the rest.
No Change of Venue
AS to a possible change of venue.
both the district attorney and counsel
Ior IndW declared they would make
no such move. Thaw's attorneys viii
have conference tomorrow with the
prisoner to decide on their next stem.
They may make an early application
for bail Mr. Jerome said he would
strenuously oppose it. He added the
belief that as seven of the Jurors had
voted for guilty his opposition prob
ably would be successful In that
event Thaw has another long summer
before him in the city prison, for his
case on the crowded criminal calendar
cannot possibly be reached until some
time next fall.
The scenes attending the announce
ment by the jury of it's inability to
agree were robbed of any theatricaIism
by the general idea that after their
long deliberation and the reports of
a wide division of sentiment the Jurors
could make no other report than one
of disagreement.
Thaw Is Silent
Thaw, surrounded by the members
of his family, received the news in alb
solute silence. When it became known
that the jury was ale to make its
report Thaw called his wife to. a seat
by his side and sat with his right arm

cause of your collective stupidity in
again permitting me to evade capture.
If you remember what 1 told you
several days ago you will recall that
1t is impossible for me to aid any per-

up to me to maintain my identity In
Los Angeles to the best of my ability,

police officials in this country as beiE s

you want to get down to the fact that
in my capture you are not to expect
any easy cinch.
1t is also up to me to distribute the
chances for my capture equally over
the entire town. That is why some of
those on my trail have not had better
luck. Some people take hold of this
chase with the idea they can simply
stand on a street corner and pick me
up purely through the medium of a
photograph.
LET ME- TELL YOU SOMETHING -
ON THIS POINT.
YOU HAVEN'T AN AMATEUR OR
PROFESSIONAL DETECTIVE ON

That is why I am able to carry this
game along successfully.
Go After Smooth-Faced Men
I have presented this experiment on
the largest newspapers in this country,
and my services would not be worth 80
cents had 1 not proven to the entire
satisfaction of several of the most
widely known and celebrated officials
in America the remarkable ability
possess in evading capture while ope-
rating in crowds.
That is why / have insisted during
the past few days that you GO AFTER
ME- RIGHT. What 1 mean by GOING
AFTER ME RIGHT is that you take
every smooth-faced man into serious
consideration whom you happen to ell
counter at any of the places where
schedule myself to appear
When you go after me-if you are a
man-just figure to yourself HOW
YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO AVOID

Raffles Grows Careless
So far have been remarkably sue

gatherings. In fact, have never been

that the Santo Domingo will yet prove a

distributed among tens of thousands Of
fortunate owners. The industry can never
die out. 1t thriyes when there is dizziness
and stagnation everywhere else. Gold
and silver and copper and lead are prod
ucts for which there is never-ending
market. The collapse of the Santo Do
mingo Gold and Copper company only
goes to show how wise and honest men
can be deceived by mining proposition.
The eminent New York and Pittsburg
gentlemen behind the Santo Domingo
really believed that they had bonanza.
They not only believed this from the re-
ports that were first brought to them of
the richness of these great placer claims,
but they believed it after they had gone
down to Santo Domingo and looked over
their property They told their friends
that there was $500 O00, 600 Of gold waiting
to be shoveled up. They actually fig
ured out much more-$25O, 900, 900 or $780,
0O0,O00-and believing that this enormous
wealth was lying there in valleys waiting
for them to shovel it up, they felt just-
fled in capitalizing their company at
s64, 100000. The first money they raised
was among themselves and their friends.
The stock was almost too good to sell to
the public generally, but the proposition
was so big that it needed public support.
No group of ordinary capitalists could
handle it. With the first money received
from the sale of stock, machinery was
sent down to Santo Domingo to begin
the task of shoveling up the gold.
Then came the sad awakening. The
sands did not give up their golden treas
ure The $500, 900 became dream.
Ordinarily, according to the customs of a
company promotion, the Santo Domingo
should vanish and the stockholders
should be informed that their money is

burg gentlemen, who had a dream of
shoveling up $500 100000 in Santo Domingo,
feel that 1t is due to them to return out
of their own pockets the money sunk by
stockholders in the venture. The pro-
moters will spend the rest of the year in
endeavoring to discover gold on their
property, and at the end of the year

Folly of Mining Investments.
falling off In the acreage of wildcat
mining advertisements in the Sunday pa
pers means that the public has been
awakened to the folly of putting its
money into enterprises of this description
The gross amount already invested in
mining schemes is very large and losses
are spread all over the length and
breadth OF the country. A great major
ity of those who have gone into wildcat
stocks have not yet learned to certain
, ty that they are "stung," but they be-
come suspicious and have shut down on
further investments until they have more
definite information. New money is not
coming into the game and old sources of
supply are drying up. Hence it is that
full-page advertising langulshes.
The captains of industry in the manu-
facture and sale of worthless mining
stocks are quick to detect the change in
popular feeling where it affects their
pocketbooks, and they are not throwing
away their own money in newspaper
space which does not yield them a profit.
They know when the streams have been
fished dry. All of which will in the end
rebound to the advantage of everybody
engaged in legitimate mining. Owners of
meritorious properties will not suffer.
Temporarily they may rest under the
cloud which the collapse of validating
has created, but they will be comforted
by the knowledge that in the final analy-
sis they will be the gamer.
