MRS. BuRDETTE'
ARM IS BROKEN
PATROLMAN KNOCKS HER TO
THE SIDEWALK
Three Fractures Found Near Elbow
When Injured Member Is SUBJ
jected to x-Ray Exami-
nation by Physician

Mrs. Robert r. Burdette. wife of the
well known pastor of the Temple Bap-
tist church, was seriously injured by
being run into by a uniformed member
of the police department on Los An
geles street near Fourth yesterday
noon.
Mrs. Burdette was knocked to the
pavement and when picked up was
nearly unconscious with pain. She was
hurried to her automobile, which was
standing a short distance away, and
was taken to the office of DR.. Norman
Bridge in the Auditorium building,
where she was placed under the X-ray.
The photograph showed that the wo-
mans left arm had been broken in
three places at the elbow and that she
had suffered other injuries.
1t was found necessary to take her
to her home at S91 South Orange Grove,
Pasadena, in her automobile, and she
was accompanied on the trip by DR.
Bridge and her son, Roy Wheeler, who
had been notified of the accident.
Word of the affair was sent to police
headquarters and it is understood the
department will take some steps to
learn how it occurred, and if it is found
the policeman is to blame will punish
him.
CoIIides with Officer
Mrs. Burdette had gone to Los An
geles street to purchase a number Of
wire baskets. She left her automobile
short distance from Fourth street
and walked south She was walking
near the edge of the sidewalk when a
patrolman approached going in the OPP
posite direction.
According to spectators the officer
was walking fast and evidently failed
to notice the woman. He suddenly
brushed into her, knocking her to the
edge of the sidewalk.
With a moan of pain Mrs. Burdette
lay where she had fallen while sympa-
thetic spectators rushed to her aid and
carried her into a nearby store. The
chauffeur of the automobile, who had
witnessed the accident, then telephoned
DR.. Bridge and in a few minutes Mrs.
Burdette had been placed in the car
and hurried to the physicians office.
Mrs. Burdette suffered great pain
while the arm Was being placel under
the X-ray, but nerved herself through
the ordeal until the injured member
was examined and set.
DR.. Bridge then stated the woman
was in a physical condition which
would allow her to stand the trip to
her residence and she was placed in
her automobile. The ride to Pasadena
caused her a great deal of pain, but
after arriving at her home she stated
she felt easier and was confident she
would suffer no serious results from the
inirHy.

Search Men for Arms
Captain Gleason had instructions
from Chief Dinan to board the cars
with a detail of officers as soon as an
appearance was made and search the
operatives for revolvers. He was to
arrest and send to headquarters any of
the strike breakers whom he found
armed.
These instructions were conveyed to
Assistant President Mutually imme-
diately after the arrival of the nom
union men, and after a brief confer
ence Mr.. Mutually gave his word that
none of the carmen would be armed
This promise was rigidly kept and there
was no search by the police.
The start from Oak and Broderick at
o'clock was tame affair compared
with yesterdays experiences. Chief
Dinan, Captains Martin and Gleason,
Police Commissioner Haggerty and
Officer McKevitt led in an automobile.
The crowd of five or six hundred men
and boys collected at the starting point
did nothing more serious than to howl
and jeer as the cars proceeded out Oak.
The first stone was thrown at Nc
Allister and Devisadero streets by
union man. 1t struck John Dawson,
one of the guards, in the mouth and
laid his lip open to the bone. He was
knocked to his knees on the platform.
The sight of blood streaming from the
mans face caught the eyes of the mob
as Dawson staggered to his feet and
they set up a cheer. The cars were
stopped at once and Superintendent
Chapman left hie automobile and went
to the injured mans assistance. He
boarded a car while the crowds hooted
and led Dawson to an inside seat. He
stood there beside the bleeding guard
for ten or fifteen minutes while the
car was under way.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-05-09
Another Man Injured

Second blood was drawn at Hayes
street and Masonic avenue, where three
members Of the Electrical Workers
union, mounted on a supply wagon,
blocked the track and refused to move.
Mounted Officer Budd finally lashed
the mems horse with his quirt and got
the wagon out of the way. The electri-
clans, cursing and promising revenge,
forced their wagon in between one of
the cars and an automobile and kept
pace, meantime reviling the strike
breakers. Budd ordered them off, and
to enforce the order, struck the union
driver several stinging blows in the
face with his quirt.
The man responded with fist blows,
and finally as Budd rode alongside,
struck him in the face with a pair of
heavy pliers. At this half a dozen
policemen came to Budd's assistance.
They clubbed the three union men until
blood flowed freely from gashes in their
heads and dragged them bodily from
| their wagon. They were arrested on a
charge of assault and sent to the park
precinct station.
| When Hayes and Devisadero streets
were reached q mob of large size packed
| the thoroughfare and blocked progress.
| Here the non-union men had trouble in
| taking a switch, and for ten minutes
stones flew from the hands of the
strikers and their friends. Several
stone throwers were collared by officers
and knocked down with fist blows and

carpe nter Throws Hatchet


At this place carpenter working or
a scaffolding threw his hatchet. II
found lodgment in the foremost car
but struck no one. The man was cap
tured by two officers after a short
chase, and was arrested for assault
with a deadly weapon.
At another point on Hayes street q
bartender stepped out of a saloon and
tossed a revolver into a light wagon
driven by H. r. Hoag, proprietor of
the Rapid Press company. Hoag picked
the weapon up, and the police, not ad-
vised of the circumstances. and think
about to shoot, seized him and took
the pistol away. He explained the sit
uation and was released.
Officer Steiner, one of the most active
in forcing back the crowds, broke his
club in beating a striker, and there
after made use of his fists.
One of the last acts of violence that
featured the exciting six-mile run OF
the cars happened Immediately after
passing from Hayes into Devisaderc
street. A striker ran up alongside the
rear car and threw a boxful of red
pepper at the guards. The aim fell
short.
The two cars that ran the gantlet
of the mobs were Nos. 1888 and 1885
H. Ballal was at the controller on the
former and r. A. Strothers operated
the latter.

general offices at Oak and Broderich

will be operated again tomorrow. He
