Oakland Streetca1
Wrecks Chariot
on Crossing

OAKLAND Jan. 24-WhiIe attempt
ing to cross the street in front of a
rapidly moving electric car this morn
ing at Twelfth and Market streets Pc
ter Newhouse, a chauffeur employed by
Attorney W. H. Chickering of San
Francisco. misjudged the speed of the
car, which crashed into his automobile,
in which was Miss Martha Chicksring,
the youngest daughter of the attor-
ney. who resides at $40 sixteenth
street Miss Chickering narrowly es-
capped death, being throwa TO the
ground and painfully bruised. New
house had his left leg broken and his
head was cut deeply by flying glass
from the car
The accident occurred at 1880
o'clock. The auto was struck by car
No. 3O9 westbound, in charge of Mo-
torman ". Tomkins and Conductor
Sawyer. The automobile was being
driven south on Market street, and
Newhouse apparently did not see the
approaching car until he was close to
the crossing Instead of stopping his
machine. NewhOuse tried TO cross the
tracks ahead of the car, but the auto
mobile failed TO cross in time, and the
the drivers seat completely wreck
ing il.
MOtOrman TOmkins. when he saw that
the chauffeur intended to cross in front
OF the car, set the brakes and then re-
versed the motor, but the wheels failed
to hold on the slippery track, and a
few moments later the car struck the
auto. The big machine was forced
sidewise by the impact and the wheels
on the side farthest from the car were
crushed, causing the machine to sink
TO the ground. The shock threw Miss
Chickering out Of the machine, but she
escaped with nothing worse than a
number of bad bruises.
Forgetting her own injuries, the
young woman ran to the Office of DR.. F.
F. Jackson at Il71 Market street to
summon the physician to attend the
injured chauffeur. Before DR.. Jackson
left his Office, however, Newhouse had
been taken from the wrecked machine
and carried to the Office by the carmen
and witnesses of the accident. After
his injuries had been dressed by DR..
Jackson he was removed to Providence
Hospital
The automobile, a four-cylinder tour
ing car, was so badly damaged that IL
was necessary to haul It TO shop on
a truck.
One side OF the front end Of the cleo
trio car was crushed in, and Motorman
Tomkins was slightly cut by broken
glass from the windows. His injuries.
however, were slight. Miss Chickering
exonerated the mOtorman from all
blame for the accident declaring that
as far as she was able TO judge, he nad
used every means in his power to bring
the ear to a stop.

CHAINGANG CLEANS
OAKLAND OF VAGRANTs
Chief of Police Wilson Comments
FavOrabIy on Effect of Recently
Adopted System

OAKLAND, Jan. 24.-In response to
an inquiry from the members of the
Police Commission. regarding the ef-
feet Of the organization of the chain
gang in Oakland, in which convicted
prisoners are put at work on the
streets and on city property, Chief of
Police Wilson said today:
In my opinion the organization Of the chain
gang has done more to drive chronic yagrants
and other undesirable characters from the city
than anything else that could have been devism
Since the organization of the chaingang thbfe
have been fewer arrests for vagrancy and other
petty crimes, and the prisoners who have been
put TO work In the open air have been kept in
more healthy condition than would have been
possible had they been confined in the city
prison.

Heart
LikeaCock

The pulsation of the heart
marks the passage of the blood
through the veins, just as the
ticking of a clock indicates the,
flight of moments of time.
Palpitation, futtering or irreg-
ular action reveals the fact that
the heart is running down
and unless strengthened, is
liable to stop at any time un-
der some weakening influence
such as excitement, over-work,
or intense mental or physical
strain. To regulate the heart

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Selling for Foreign Account the Most
 Pronounced Influence.

New York, Oct, 3.-There was some activity in the stock market to-day, and the depression was less passive than in the torpid market of yester- day. The general movement, never theless, was rather apathetic and the sentiment which prompted it was not we'll grounded enough to carry opera tions to any great length, or to main- tain the market position based on 1t. The most pronounced influence on the days market was the large selling for foreign account, not only on orders from London, but also, it was said, from Amsterdam and European points. This had bad effect on local sentiment, as it was supposed to pre- sage some unfavorable developments at the points where it originated. Pri- vate cable intimated, however, that anxiety over the relations of this coun- try and Japan prompted the selling. When the source of this anxiety was sought it appeared that London dis patches published in New York and cabled back to foreign points, together with Journalistic criticism of the Pa cific cruise of the American warships published here in connection with the dispatches, was the ground for the anxieties professed abroad, and not any first-hand information thereof threatening developments in the mat ter. When this roundabout course of the war scare had been traced it's in- fluence subslded in the stock market and opened the way to subsequent re- covery in prices.
 Continued tension in the money market was a restraint on any de- mand for stocks. The rate for call loans did not go so high as yesterday and showed tendency to relax from the early high level This was partly | due to the policy of the National City bank in offering $50,000 lots at per cent without regard to the prevailing rate. Time money rates were higher. The rise in money rates had some ef- feet in easing the tone of foreign ex- change, in spite of the large selling of stock for foreign account. The l fact that customs receipts of the gov- ernment for September showed fall- ing off in September compared with September of last year arouses an ex- pectation that the foreign trade state- ment to be compiled later will show some check to the recent rapid rate of expansion of value of merchandise imports. Grain and cotton experts meantime continue to make large sup plies of exchange.
 The progress of the local traction inquiry gave rise to some misgivings
 of an effect on the minds of investors similar to that of the insurance inves- tigation several years ago. There was a substantial recovery, however, from the early declines, which left the days net changes mixed.
