STREET CAR RUNS
DOWN LITTLE GIRL
Myrtle Corey Probably Fatally
Hurt at Mission and
Seventh

While obediently Fastening on an err
rand for her mother yesterday after
noon, bright little Myrtle Corey, aged
10, was run down by an outbound Mis-
sion street car in Mission street near
Seventh sustaining injuries that at
least will make her a lifelong cripple
and may cause her death.
The child had been dispatched on an
errand from her home at 655C Natoma
street at o'clock, which necessitated
her crossing Mission street at Seventh.
A car had stopped at the corner. The
little girl. following common practice
among older pedestrians, attempted to
hurry across the track, when the car
was started by Motorman John B. Va
lergo. who declared to the police when
he was afterward arrested for battery
that he did not see the girl in front of
his car. The first intimation that he
had run down the child came to Vaiergo
when a lookeron shouted at him to
stop the car. He did so Immediately
and with willing assistants extricated
little Myrtle from her precarious posi-
tion. Chief Shaughnessy of the fire de-
partment was passing in his buggy and
conveyed the child to the central emer-
gency hospital, where an amputation of
Little hope for the girls recovery was
entertained by the hospital physicians.
Later in the evening she was removed
to the Lane hospital.
Mrs. G.. w. Corey. the mother, did not

evening when she returned from a down
town trip. She is prostrated. G.. w.

LLOYD ACkERMAN
AND ROOS BATTLE
Lawyers Derogatory Remark
About Merchant Results in
Fisticrffs on Street

With crowd of onlookers pressing
around them and shouting all kinds of
advice. Robert Roos and Lloyd S. Acker-
man, prominent young lawyer, came
together in an impromptu affair in Fill
more street yesterday morning. Roos
won, fact that was practically ac-
knowledged by Ackerman's father, who
dragged his son away after he had been
struck several times, and hustled him
aboard a westbound Sutter street car.
A bitter enmity. growing out of re-
marks made by Ackerman derogatory
of Roos. was the cause of yesterdays
fight. Roos encountered Ackerman and
his father at the corner of Fillmore
and Sutter streets. He addressed
Alderman in an aggressive manner.
Alderman made pass at Roos, but the
latter countered and sent Ackerman
staggering into the street. Before
Ackerman could recover Roos had fol-
lowed up his advantage with several
more blows. Then Ackerman senior in
terfered and hurried his son aboard
car.
fThat fellow had been talking about
me in the clubs and around town. was
the explanation given by Roos of the
affair. Il had been waiting for a

SWEET WINE MEN
WIN THEIR FIGHT
Given Renewed Assurances That
the Internal Revenue Regu-
lations VIII Be Amended
Rival interests in California
Clash Over the Proposed
Change in Rules

Further information reached the
manufacturers of sweet wine yesterday
which verified the earlier reports from
Washington that the internal revenue
regulations would be so modified as
10 allow of the use of California sweet
wines as medicinal components. The
movement to secure this concession was
headed by p. G. Rossi. president of the
Italian Swiss colony, and Percy T. Nor
gan. president of the California wine
association. Some opposition has been
manifested by the dry wine interests,
but it is stated that the Washington
authorities have given positive assur-
ance that the request of the sweet wine
men will be granted.
A telegram was sent to William r.
Wheeler. assistant secretary of COM
merce and labor, but the Manufacturers
and Producers association yesterday in
which the statement was refuted that
1t was the intention to use improp-
erly made wines in the manufacture Of
medicine. The message of the associa-
ton closed with the following state
ment:
"Alf that the growers ask is that the
use of domestic sweet wines made un-
der the law shall be as unrestricted as
the use of foreign sweet wines which
are allowed entry into this country
under the pure food laws
After a conference held by the manu-
facturers of dry wine 10 oppose the
change proposed by the sweet wine
men, a telegram was sent to President
Roosevelt asking him to take no action
until the dry wine men had been given
an opportunity to present their side
of the case. The telegram was sent by
A. Chalk. president OF the French
American wine company.

BOLL[S GIVES HIS
OPINION OF WRECK
Makes Statement Regarding
Towboat Captains in Cutting
Adrift Star of Bengal
Seaman Crick Declares Bark
Was in Hopeless Position
When Hawser Was Cut

Common sense would tell master
who had seen rocks on the starboard
side of his steamer that such terri
tory was dangerous, and that il ship
was left by herself, as the Star OF
Bengal was, she would go ashore. The
officers of the Kayak must have known
that when they left the ship. knowing
that the big vessel had no anchorage.
The evidence in this hearing tends to
bring about this conclusion-"- State
ment of Captain Belles, United States
steamboat inspector, at the hearing
into the Star of Bengal wreck. which
was concluded yesterday.
For the first time since the inquiry
into the wreck OF the bark Star Of
Bengal was begun, several weeks ago,
Captain Bolles yesterday intimated his
personal opinion OF the tactics dis
played by the tug masters in charge
of the towing OF the big vessel. He
expressed that opinion during the eX-
animation of John Crick. seaman
aboard the tug Kayak, one of the ves-
sells which cut loose from the Star Of
Bengal when the latter craft was in
desperate straits. Criek had pre-
viously made the statement that he
knew when the tug let go of the haw-
ser attached to the Star of Bengal that
the bark. not being able to anchor,
would drift upon the Jagged rocks
abounding in that vicinity of the Alas
kan coast. Captain j, +. Moser had
interposed an explanation OF Crick's
statement, when Captain Bolles made
his blunt declaration, which caused a
slight stir among the listeners in the
room.
In the main Crick's testimony was a
reiteration of the statements made last
week by First Mate Wielke of the tug
Kayak. In contradiction of Vielke's
testimony, Crick declared that the bark
displayed signals of distress before the
hawser was cut. Regarding the rock
which was discovered astern of the
tugs, Crick stated that he was the
first man to report that obstacle to the
captain, and that 10 minutes after he had
done so the master of the tug ordered
the hawser cut. Crick entertained the
opinion that If the tugs Kayak and
Hattie Gage had turned around before
the danger point had been approached
the Star of Bengal could have been
hauled into safe water with ease.
What did you think happened to the
Bengal when you couldn't see the yes
sci after cutting loose?" was asked by
Captain Bulger.
Well, they must have had a pretty
tough proposition" declared Crick.
SHE was in very dangerous posi-
tion. / knew that when we let go the
vessel would go ashore without fail"
With the examination OF John Rus
SELL fireman aboard the Kayak, the
local end of the inquiry was completed
yesterday afternoon. A representative
of the local steamboat inspection dis
trict will leave tomorrow for Juneau,
Alaska, where he will deliver the
transcript of testimony to the steam
boat inspectors in charge of that dis
trict. The hearing will be concluded
there and judgment rendered.
