HEALED At LAST

OAKLAND. Jan. lit took Joaquin
Pacheco of East Oakland two years to
recover from the shock to his af-

said that he was sure his present

TRAIN RUNS into
TUNNEL CAVE-|N

MARTINEZ, Jan. 17.-With a roar
that could be heard plainly in this
city and for miles around. the Santa
Fe tunnel at Franklin, three miles
from here, caved in this morning at
9 o'clock while train No. Z was trying
to pass through That the lives of the
seventy or eighty passengers and the
trainmen were not blotted out was due
entirely to the foresight of the engineer
who was running his train at an un-
usually slow rate of speed The cave
in occurred in the center of the tunnel.
which is one mile in length and one of
the largest in the State. and the wreck
age caught fire Immediately from
broken lanterns. The train ran, head
on. into the tons of debris. which com
pletely choked the passage way, but
was able to back out quickly. just es-
Gaping a crash of timbers and earth
that would have held it in the smoke
filled tunnel.
So quickly was the trainload of HUI
man freight backed from the tunnel
that the passengers had no idea of
the peril they had been in until the
conductor informed them that the train
would have to be run over the Southern
Pacific lines and it would be days be-
fore the tracks were cleared.
Miss Mia Mason, official court ste-~
nographer for Superior Judge Wells.
was on board en- route TO this city, and
did not reach here until late this
afternoon. She tells a graphic story
of the accident and the panic that
almost ensued when the passengers
learned of the impending danger The
first intimation of danger we had" she
said, was when the train came to an
abrupt stop in the very center of the
tunnel, with a jar that threw us for
ward in our seats. 1t was so dark
ahead that no one could define the
cause of the stop until the engine
backed us out into daylight, half
mile or more behind. Then the con-
ductor passed through the train and
explained the situation. Even then,
when all were safe. several women
were on the verge of Mysteries at the
thought of the danger they had been
in and it required the combined eff
forts of the crew and their fellow pas
sengers to persuade them not to leave
the train.
1--WE could smell the smoke of the
burning timbers when in the tunnel
fire until later. The forward part Of
the engine was a mass of clay mud
when we emerged from the mouth Of
the tunnel, but no one knew of this
until after we had left Pinole, on the
return trip to Richmond, where the
train was switched onto the Southern
Pacific tracks"
A wrecking crew from the Point
Richmond yards was dispatched to the
scene of the accident but can make
no headway until the fire burns itself
out. 1t is not thought that the debris
will be cleaned out and traffic re-
stored for at least a week, owing to
tho difficulties in getting at the i'm
mediate scene of the cave-in.

VENABLE TRIUMPHs
OVER KNAPP

VALLEJO, Jan 17.-Information has
lust reached here from Washington
that Lieutenant Commander John J.
Knapp, Z. S n. who achieved unsavory
notoriety while the executive officer Of
the transport Solace a year ago by
heaping indignities on the head of the
vile of a warrant officer in the navy.
has been turned down by the Navy
Department in his request for court
martial for Paymaster George r. Nena-
BILE.
Venable and Knapp left this station
on the refrigerator ship Celtic and
made the trip around the Horn to-
gether. The men were bitter enemies
and IL is said there was a constant
clash over naval regulations. Finally
Knapp charged VenAble with issuing
beef TO the crew Of the ship which
was unit for consumption and de-
nanded an explanation Nenable re-
fused to recognize the authority Of
Knapp TO order him about and would
have nothing TO DO with the investiga-
ton which Knapp attempted to hold
Knapp then secured a recommended tion
from the Bureau OF Navigation oficials
that Nenable be court-martialed, but
this the department itself has refused
TO concur IN.
Knapp was grilled severely in the
local and san Francisco press a year
ago because he refused 10 allow the

SANTA CLARA WILL
BE A TERMINAL
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SAN JOSE. Jan. 17.-Santa Clara is
20 be a terminal point of the Southern
Pacific Railroad at the expiration of
the legal time for so declaring, which is
twenty-five days. Santa Clara will be
on a par. so far as railroad rates are
concerned, with San Francisco. San
Jose, Redwood City. and other import
ant shipping points.
The creating Of Santa Clara as
terminal point shows the tendency of
the valley toward greater and steady
development The largely increased
shipping from this point has merited
the change and there has been an enor-
nous increase in railroad traffic. The
advantages gained are great as New
York is made much easier to reach by
the shippers from this point The Gre
alton of the new terminal at Santa
Clara makes five on the west side Of
the peninsula. and what was once the
old mission of Santa Clara is now ele-
waited TO the same railroad status as the
pueblo of San Jose.
The output of the Pacific Manufac-
turing Company at Santa Clara has in
a great measure forwarded the change
and other shippers from that point
have contributed their share toward
the gaining Of what is deemed a most
important step.

WARD MUST FIGHT
FOR PRESIDENT
Health Board in Deadlock
Over Choice of Chairman,
Showing Friction Exists
HARVEY A CANDIDATE

The Health Board held yesterday its
first meeting of this year. but failed
to effect reorganization by the cleo
tion of president TO succeed DR.. ].
W. Ward. The failure to elect a presi-
dent for the ensuing year demonstrates
that there is a deadlock on the board
which may, or may not be broken at
its next meeting.
Ward has served in the capacity
named for the last three years and
some of the members of the board
think that it is time for him to step
down and out. from the honorary posi-
ton and serve in the ranks once again.
DR., w. H. Harvey, one of the oldest
members of the board. has an idea that
he would shine as it's executive head
having had acquired considerable ex
perience in that regard from observing
the manner in which Ward handled the
business. 1t is understood that Simon
would not be averse to being president
of the board for the advertisement that
is in it, DR.. j. V. Hughes, another
member. is drawing salary as. provi-
sional warden of the County Hospital
and has not the time nor the fncliha-
tion to bother about the presidency,
which carries no salary.
About the only vote that Ward was
assured of at yesterdays meeting was
that of DR.. Sidney Worth, who belongs
to the same medical school and owes
his original appointment to Wards in
fiuence. There was a rumor recently
that Worth contemplated resigning be-
cause he did not like to be allied with
an administration that is having con-
siderable trouble with the Grand Jury.
He would like, however. to see his
friend continue as president and will
probably remain on the board to assist
him in his fight for reelection.
1t takes three votes to elect a presi-
dent and Harvey might secure that of
Hughes as well as his own. This would
leave Ward with two and the deciding
vote would be cast by Simon. The lat
ter has aspirations for the presidency
himself
Ward would like to get the presi-
dency unanimously, and it is possible
that the Mayor will take hand in the
fight and insist on his reelection. In
all likelihood the matter will be ar
ranged quietly before the next meet
ing, with the chances in favor of Ward.
Simon. who has been reappointed,
presented his credentials at the meet
ing and was again seated as a Health
Commissioner for term of four years.
