Peerless Leader" Learns That lie Is
Once More Candidate for President
CRASHES INTOPOLE;
DRIVER SAVES LIVES.
IN GOING TO FIRE, DRIVER OF
HOOK AND LADDER WAGON
SENDS TEAM INTO POLE TO
SAVE THE LIVES OF A WOMAN
AND CHILDREN.

In order to avoid running over a
woman and four small children, Driver
Neal Gabriel OF the fire department
drove his team into a trolley pole at
the corner Of Northern Pacific avenue
and Fourth street when going to a
fire at rs Front street. shortly after 1
o'clock today.
The hook and ladder wagon, which
Gabriel was driving, was going east
on Northern Pacific avenue at a good
rate of speed, following the hose wagon
at about a blocks distance. The hose
wagon turned south at Fourth street
and soon after II passed a woman
wheeling a baby in a peraInbulator,
followed by three other small children,
who started to cross Fourth street on
the south side OF N p. avenue. She
did not see the hook and ladder wagon
coming, and before she reached the
crossing she was warned not to cross
by some men on the other side Of the
street, but she evidently did not hear
them.
About the time that she reached the
middle Of the street the wagon was
close upon her and had already started
to make the turn, and only the pres
ence Of mind OF Driver Gabriel saved
her life. When he saw the danger he
quickly swung the horses to the left,
hoping to drive up on the sidewalk on
the south side Of the street However
the momentum was too great and the
team was carried into the pole at the
corner which carried the guy wire
holding the trolley wire OF the street
railway. The horses were thrown on
either side OF the pole and the wagon
crashed into u with terrific force.
Driver Gabrie' wss thrown from his
seat and through the air. but grabbed
the trolley pole which the wagon had
struck, which action undoubtedly saw
ed him from serious injury
AS soon as the contact came the
well trained horses stood perfectly
still and aside from a few slight
bruises they were not injured. The
pole of the wagon was broken into
several pieces and the foot board was
badly broken UP. The trolley pole was
almost torn from the ground by the
force OF the impact and it is a won
der that some az those on the wagon
were not injured.
Those who saw the accident say
that the driver did the only thing that
was to be done, for If he had contin
ued and made the turn. the woman
and the children would have been
killed.
The fire was at the residence of Mrs.
Jensen. at rs Front street, where an
outbuilding had taken fre. The hose
wagon arrived and extinguished the
blaze before any damage to amount
to anything had been done.
While no one was injured in the
wreck Of the hook and ladder wagon.
the accident should be a lesson to
people to keep off the streets when
the department is answering an alarm.

HICKSON POST
OFFICE ROBBED

Hickson, NJ D., Aug. 12.-Robbers
broke into the postofice here last
night or early this morning and $40
in small change was taken from the
cash drawer. The perpetrators made
their escape without being detected
or without leaving clue TO their iden-
tity The postmaster is julius A.
BIGGER and the office is in a store
owned by him.
None of the stamps were taken al
though they were easy Of access and
the goods In the store were left un-
molested and because Of these faces
it is thought that the robbery was
committed by local artists who did
not wish anything in their possession
which might lead to their detection.
The building was entered through a
back window and once inside 1t was
an easy matter for the burglars to
open the money drawer.

SUPERVISORS TO
End PRINTING STEAL
Advertising Contracts of City TO
Be Let With Reputable
Papers as Bidders

Bids for the city advertising during
the year beginning in April will be
received by the board of supervisors to-
morrow between 2 and 3 o'clock. and
there is reason to hope that the award
that follows will make an end OF one
OF the mean little steals left over from
the days of the Ruef- -Schmitz ring
The current city printing contract is
held by the Evening Post, which got
1t last April from the notorious Doodle
board through a process OF perjury
and defiance Of the law. The charter
requires that the city's official 1adver-
tising shall be done in San Fran
cisco daily newspaper having not less
than 5000 circulation, which is more
than the Post now has or had a year
ago-several thousand. more, But when
the Post pulled down the contract last
year it's circulation nlanager was
supervisor. and a Doodle supervisor at
that. II was easier than it ever had
been in the preceding years of graft
for the Post TO get this contract in
the face OF competitive bids put in by
real newspapers with real circulations.
because those other bidders not only
lacked the Posts connection with the
Doodle industry, but were fighting
Ruef. Schmitz and all the other plum
derers.
This year things are; different. There
is in Office a board of supervisors that
is spending the peoples money hon
estly and wisely and with due regard
for the law. This board will not toll
crate any disreputabfe job whereby
$4,000 or $4,000 of public money will
be paid for advertising in a news
psper with a circulation so far below
the low charter limit that its publicity
Is without value
The award OF the city contract to
the Post last year and the years be-
fore was merely the subsidlzing of a
sheet that could be and often was used
by Ruef and Schmitz and their asso-
ciates for the purpose OF cireularizing
