MOTHER AND
TWINS HURT
IN ACCIDENT
Pico Cars Collide and
Injure Four
People
Wounds Are Serious but
Will Not Prove
Fatal
Woman Who Was Injured Recently
Became Noted by Bringing
Second Set of Triplets
Into the World

Four persons were seriously injured
md a number slightly so in rear-end
collision between Pico Heights car No.
34S and car No. 353 on the same line at
Grand avenue and West Pico street at
10:45 yesterday morning. ->...-
The injured were Mrs. C.. v. N. Will
son of 1926 East Forty-ninth street; her
twin daughters, aged years, and an
unidentified man.
Mrs. Wilson suffered a number of
severe bruises about her right leg and
body, and her ankle was injured in such
q manner that the woman will probably
be confined to her bed for some time.
Her two daughters also received
number of severe bruises and cuts put
it is not thought any of the injuries re-
ceived by them will prove serious.
The unidentified man who was in
jured was taken to the residence of j. j.
Hunt, 1346 South Olive street, where he
was attended by DIR. Hutchinson, ply
sician of the railroad company. After
his injuries were dressed the man left
the place. He refused to give his name,
but said he was an Odd Fellow and had
formerly lived at the home of that order
In Alhambra.
DR. Paul Bresee, the physician who
was called to attend~Mrs. Wilson, sale
last night that he did not think the IN
juries sustained by the woman woul1
prove fatal, but they would in all prob
ability keep her confined to bed for some
time. The two daughters of Mrs VIII
son were overcome by the shock, but 1t
is thought they will be all right in a
day or so./
Mrs. Wilson became famous in Los
Angeles about two years ago when she
gave birth to a second set of triplets.
There were two boys and girl in this
set, and one of the boys is still living,
his brother and sister having died
shortly after birth. Before coming to
Los Angeles Mrs. Wilson gave birth 10
two boys and a girl, but the three chit
dren died.
When seen last night at her home and
asked about the accident, Mrs. Wilson
said:
my two little girls and myself were
going to church. We were on car NO.
asa on the Pico street line. When our
car arrived at Grand avenue we stopped
to allow a Redondo car to pass. AS we
did so car No. 34S came up from the rear
at a speed and crashed into the back
part of our car. The fender of the sec
ond car was torn off and windows were
smashed in both cars. / was pitched to
the aisle of the car by the shock and
both my little girls were also hurled to
the floor.
1.-THE man who was injured was taken
to the home Of Mr.. Hunt and soon aft
erward Mr.. Hunt returned and assisted
my daughters and myself to our home.
IA number of other passengers were
slightly cut and injured in the acci-
dent, but all of them were able to pro-
ceed to their homes"

train for the west. We were on the
way to California.
I'VE were in a strange land among
people whose language we could not
understand. I had been nervous from
the time we left home. Last night I
went to sleep In my seat and I had a
terrible dream. dreamed that a man
with a white handkerchief over his face
had me by the throat and was trying
to rob me.
"I fought with all my strength. Fin
ally I managed to throw my assailant
off, The robber turned to run. I had
revolver in my pocket and seized
it and began to shoot.
"All of this was in my sleep. The
report of the weapon awakened me
and found myself on my feet with the
pistol in my hand shooting right and
left. God knows I did not mean tc
kill anyone. 1t was all a terrible
dream" so
Carl v. Kopp. the tailor who was
killed by the italian, was asleep in his
seat with a white handkerchief over his
face. Bello is in the jail here. He sits
rocking back and forth with his face in
his hands, muttering in Italian.

EIGHT WORKMEN
KILLED IN WRECK
PASSENGER TRAIN RUNS DOWN
LABORERS
Several Die and Thirty-fiVe Are lr1-
Iured in Disaster Near Hartford.
One Man Pinioned for
Over an Hour
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
HARTFORD, Conn, June 23.-Eight
workmen were killed and thirty-Tive
injured when a passenger train on the
Highland division of the New York,
New Haven e. Hartford railroad
crashed into the rear of a work train
that was backing into the city from
New Britain tonight at the Sigourney
street crossing. OF the injured, two
probably will die.
In one instance it took an hour and
a half to rescue a workman who was
pinned between the trucks. His head
was hanging down backward and he
suffered severely, but the srescuers en-
couraged him while doctors reached
between the framework which held him
a prisoner and treated the wounds on
his face and head.
There are three unofficial versions OF
the cause of the wreck. One is that
the passenger train from New Britain
went out on a wrong track. The sec
ond is that the work train had the
right of way until o'clock and should
have had clear track that the pas
senger train was ahead of time at that
time. The third is that the work train
opened switch and failed to close it,

OUTLAW
VISITS PREMIER
Albert, Leader of Wine Growers, for
Whom the Police Have Been
Searching, Walks Into
Paris
By Associated Press.

by ASSOCldleu fISSS'
PARIS, June 23.-The most interest
ing event today in connection with the
winegrowers' revolt was the visit of
Marcelin Albert, the leader of the dis
turbing element in the south of France,
to Premier Clemenceau. This morning
the man for whom the police and
troops vainly have been securing the
country for a fortnight appeared with
out warning at the ministry of the in
terror. He wore the simple garb of
a southern peasant. The cotton shirt,
the silk handkerchief around his neck
and the carpet bag in his hand aroused
the suspicion of the corps of detectives,
now constantly guarding the premier.
But when he had established his iden-
tity Albert was admitted to the pres
ence of Clemenceau, with whom he had
fifteen minutes talk.
A Semi-official account of the inter-
view says the premier used extremely
strong language, virtually reproaching
his visitor with the responsibility of all
that has happened in the south-the re-
fusal to pay taxes, the strike, the resig-
nation of the municipal officials and
the bloodshed that has occurred, every
thing in fact.
M. Albert is reported as having been
overcoms with contrition, bursting into
tears and asking the premier how he
could make atonement, to which M.
Clemenceau replied:
"Give yourself up to the law and use
your influence with your countrymen to
return to lawful ways"
Subsequently Albert declined to re-
veal anything that had occurred during
his conference with the premier, declar-
ing that he had given his word to M.
Clemenceau not to do so. He said, how
ever, that he was leaving Immediately
for the south, where he intended Ito do
his duty" This leads to the presump-
ton that an understanding between
himself and the premier was reached.
1t is believed that M. Albert pleaded
the cause of M. Ferroul, the ex-mayor
of Narbonne and his comrades on the
Argelliers committee, who are under ar
rest, but on this point M. Clemen-
ceau remains obdurate. He again auth
orized the statement that the govern
ment could not interfere with the courts.

The Cigarette smokers of Charleston

This law has been passed in other

one, especially in that the temptation
is not before the rising generation.

Der and be in Seattle on September
g. and inspect the Bremerton yard
with reference to the warship cruise
facilities, leaving there for Washing
ton on the night of the 5th or morn
ing of the 9Th. He will make in
vestigations of the matter of anchor
age for the battleships.
Before the feet sails the state de-
partment will advise South American
countries, through diplomatic chan
nels. as it is contrary to international
etiquette for one country to send war
ships to the ports of friendly nations
without first giving notice of the in
tended visit
effect that democrats will introduce
resolution in congress on the first
day of the next session, calling upon
President Roosevelt and the navy de-
partment to assign reasons for send
ing the feet to the Pacific coast, and
asking for information as to the ne
cessity for such a movement.
Eastern newspapers are demanding
to know the cause which prompts the
preside to order the fleet to the Pa
cific.
The New York World charges that
the president is playing politics; that
he is sending the fleet to the Pacific
coast to tickle the people of Cali
fornia and Washington on the eve of
a national campaign.
Tie New York Sun, in double
loaded editorial, declares the fleet will
never make the trip. 1t says.
There is a higher power in this
country than President Roosevelt"
and insists that if the feet is ever
permitted to start on the long voyage
1t will be recalled.
