at the rate Of 20 miles an hour when
the locomotive struck a defective switch
at the siding at Honda. The locOmO-
tive turned somersault into the sand
The forward coaches were crushed to
debris and took fire. The flames were
soon eXtinguished by uniniured per
sons from the two rear coaches. As
Honda is isolated it was not till late
yesterday that definite information
could be collected.
The wreck occurred at 2:35 o'clock
Saturday afternoons The statement
that the train was making high speed
when it struck the defective track is
borne out by the fact that it covered
the 81 miles of crooked track from
Santa Barbara to Honda in 100 min

The locomotive in leaving the rails
tore up the track. The baggage car
half buried itself in the sand on the
right side Of the locomotive. 1t was

He got up and ran mile. seeking help.
before he discovered his arm was
broken and that he was severely burned.
Rajah temple occupied the last car
on the train and the dining car was
thus filled almost entirely with Reading
people when the wreck occurred An
instant after the smash those who
were not incapactated jumped from
the train to render aid, but they were
unable to do much beside extinguish
the fire, and they had to wait hours
before relief arrived.
1t was some time after the wreck
occurred before word OF it reached
the outside world. AS soon as one of
the uninjured tranmen could make his
way to the station word of the wreck
was flashed to San Luis Obspo. I'm
medately special trains were arranged.
Physicians and nurses were quickly
on the way to the wreck.
At O'Clock relief special left
Santa Barbara and made the 81 miles
to Honda in 80 minutes. Simultane-
ously another special left San Luis
Obispo equipped with nurses and doc
tors. 1t arrived shortly before the one
that left this city. Already what work
of rescue was possible had been done
by those who had escaped the disaster.

THEY ACCEPT THE NEW " LAW Doctors Elect the County
 Physician. ALSO COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER Attorney Generals Decision Makes
 Change Necessary. Drs. Lay and Andrews are Chosen Over other Candidates--Board of . Health Makes Precedent
 for State.
.Lso COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER

Following the States law in regard to the organization of the Board Of Health Of each county. as interpreted by the Attorney-General. the Board of Health of Montgomery County. dis regarding the election of pr. Steiner by the Board of Revenue to be County Physician. yesterday elected Dr. Harry T. Lay to that position, and chose pr. Glenn Andrews to be County Health Oh1cer.
 Dr. Gaston GreiI. recently reelected City Health Officer. was retained. all though under a recent ruling 1t was held that Dr. Greil should be elected by the County Board of Health. But the Board at its meeting last night, by specific vote, expressed the belief that Dr. Greil should hold the place.
 The meeting last night was fraught with egreat interest. There were al. most forty members<of of the Montgom- cry County Medical Association pres- ent. Of peculiar interest to them, of course. was the election of officers, These were chosen:
 pr. H. B. Wilkinson, President Dr. w. c. Thigpen, Vice-President; -Dr. P. s. Mertins. Secretary; Dr. Shirley Bragg, Treasurer; Dr. J. l.. Gaston, Censor for five years.
 But it was really over the election of the medical ofiicers of the County that tnG Nc&l HdPpGuSos III. w. ADs Westcott. 1t is understood, opposed pr. Andrews for the office of County Health Ohicer. and Dr. c. T. Pollard, formerly the County Physician. opposed pr. Harry T. Lay for the office of County Physician. It took many ballots to decide that pr. Andrews and Dr. Lay were the successful candidates.
 There was much speculation last night about the probable attitude of pr. Steiner. He was elected to be County Physician under the old law. by the provisions of which the Board of Revenue of the county elected; and there was expressed last night the thought that Dr. Steiner. to test the Jaw might take the affair into the courts. -k
 There was nothing of a material na- ture, however. to confirm the suspicion, and Dr. Steiner's opinion in the matter is not known.
