WOMAN KILLED
IN AUTO WRECK
Machine Plunges From Bridge
Inflicting Death to One
and Injury to Two

One woman was crushed to death and
two men, badly injured last night when
an automobile, containing a party of
three, plunged over the bridge at the
Fourteen Mile house on the San Mateo
road into the stream 20 feet below. The
dead:
MRS. ANNIE KLEMAI., 2103 Howard
street. wife of Honolulu businessman.
The injured: c. N. Wolf. a hardware
merchant of Nineteenth and Mission
streets; Harry K1emm, 15 year old son
OF Mrs. Klemm.
The third of the startling series of
automobile accidents occurred in the
dead of night. In the machine were
r. L. Hughes, Mrs. Klemm, her son,
Harry, and Wolfe. who was at the
wheel. They were on their way back
to San Francisco from San Mateo
Wolf had let the machine out at a
pretty fair rate of speed, and as 1T rose
to the hill near the bridge a eucalyptus
tree obscured the roadway and un-
knowingly Wolfe steered the machine
toward the bank. Before he coula
machine swerved to the right and
smashed over the bridge.
AS it did so the four instinctively
rose to throw themselves to safety.
Mrs. Klemm's shrek of agony cut
through the night and brought to their
feet the guests at the Fourteen Mile
house, known as Uncle Toms cab
in. In the breathless pause they heard
the crash of the automobile as it
plowed its way into the shallow
stream-and then the hoarse cry of pain
and horror.
Every man in the place ran to the
rescue. In the dim light of the Ian
terms they could see the wrecked auto
mobile churning up the shallow water
and as they looked dripping form, cut
and bleeding, rose from the debris. This
was Harry klemm, the least injured
of the three.
His mother and Wolf were lying mo-
tionless, portions of their bodies pro-
jecting from under the mass of iron
machinery. The work of rescue was
quick and systematic. While some
pulled at the wreckage others hunted
for physician, and finally rounded up
DIR. Plymire, who hastened to the spot
in an automobile.
from under the wreckage. The indica-
tions were that she was killed in
stantly. Wolf was alive, but seriously
injured. Mrs. Klemm's body was laid
aside in the Uncle Toms cabin, and
Wolf laid in one of the hotel beds.
The. scene of the accident is IA miles
from San Francisco, on the San Mateo
road The road Is very popular one
for automobiles, and there is seldom a
time of the night or day when they are
not passing.
Mrs. Klemm was the wife of a Homo
lulu businessman. Her body will be
brought to San Francisco as early as
possible this morning. Wolf was taken
to his home In Howard street.

"WEALTH TOO DIFFUSE FOR
SOCIALISM," SAYS ELIOT
President of Harvard Gives His
Views for First Time in
Answer to Criticism =
spEcIAL DIsPATCH no THE CALL

BOSTON. Aug. s.-President Eliot of
Harvard, in an interview here, gives
his views on socialism. He says:
Socialism has not chance in this
country because wealth is too diffuse.
If a man has 500 all his own he loses
all idea of sharing it with anybody
else. American people are opportun-
lists; they will adopt institutions, So
cialistic or not, if they are practical,
but they will not follow an idea be-
yond the stage where it becomes in
efficient.
Human society is based on self inter
est-shaded and concealed, perhaps.
To have socialistic society, where every
one thought first of the rest of the
world, you would have to change not
society, but humanity. When anyone
says that the college is becoming the
recruiting ground. for socialism he is
wrong
This is the first time that President
Eliots ideas on this subject have ever
been given out for publication, and
this is his answer to the recent article
on American trouble makers"

he hadn't time, or he had too much to
do taking care of the front and that he
had no time to put on "store clothes.n
However. yesterday. upon the invita-

captain decided to start forth. He

The August Atlantic.

The August number of the Atlantic Monthly, the first issue to appear under the imprint of the Atlantic Monthly company is full of fresh and inviting material. Charles D. Stewart, the well known author of "The Fugitive Black smith, writes '"The Story of Bully" a stirring and full-blooded tribute to one of mans most useful servants, the OK. The description of the tug of war in which Bully conquered his rival is as fine a piece of descriptive writing as has appeared for many months.
 The summer season is appropriately recognized by a delightful paper on Newport: the City of Luxury" by Jon athan T. Lincoln. MT. Lincoln Is a shrewd and discriminating observer of the annual summer pageant at this fa- nous watering place. It is a far cry from Newport to "the bleachers," but Rollin Lynde Hartt describes "Our Ma tional Game" in one of his wise and witty papers Besides the seashore and the ball field. this issue pays it's tribute to the automobile in a paper, "The Ro- nance of Motoring by Henry Copley Greene, and to the woods in Mrs. Fanny Hardy Eckstorm's "Thoreau's Maine Woods"
 The more definitely literary features of the number are a striking paper by Charles Miner Thompson on Honest Literary Criticism, 'The Ibsen liar vest" by Archibald Henderson, and a review by Professor W. M. Sloane of the recently published Life of George Ban croft, the historian.
 Three short stories of unusual quality add to the freshness and interest of the number ". J. Hopkins, widely known as the author of "The Clammer" stories. contributes "The Kings Son of Palem- ban,, Lucy Pratt prints one of her inim- itable stories of negro life and character, ''In Goose Alley" and Mary Glasscock repeats her earlier Atlantic successes with an unusual story entitled "The Se- nor's Vigil"
 A touch of foreign travel interest is added by the annual letter from France by Stoddard Dewey. and brilliant des- criptive article by Mary A. Chamberlain on Life in an Indian Compound" Lucy S. Conant contributes striking essay on "Voices" which, with the verse and an unusually sprlghtly Contributor s Club, completes an issue of exceptionally varied attractiveness.
