South Chicago and Ham
mond People Aboard
Street Car Collapse
When Danger is
Ger.

The lives of fifty passengers, Sixty
third street bound, were imperiled this
morning at O'Clock when a Hammond
car bound for Sixty-third street ran
through the gates at Seventieth street
and the Illinois Central tracks, Park
side, because of the mOtOrman losing
control of his car.
1t was a dramatic moment for the
onlookers, a majority of whom were
standing on the Illinois Central plat
form, waiting for the suburban train
bound for the city.
Car No. 323. propelled by Motorman
H. Foss, Hammond, approached the
railroad crossing at unlimited
speed and while he made the momen-
tary stop, at least enough to allow
the conductor, Walter Bielef1eld, 26S
Plummer street, Hammond, to signal
him to stop, he could not stop the car
and had to ignore the gates and the
fast approaching Illinois Central SUI
burban train, and, failing to control the
power, smashed through the former.
The conductor realizing the situation,
ran for what at that moment seemed
to be his life The passengers had
hardly time to realize their hazardous
position, but after the car had crossed
the crossing there was a general de-
nouncing of the motorman's tactics.
Gafeman Does Duty.
The gateman, Michael Formosa, who
lives at 7725 Greenwood avenue, Grand
Crossing, did his duty and lowered the
gates in what appeared more than suf-
ficient time, and if he had not it is
more than probable that the train,
which was approaching at terrific
speed, would have hit the car. The
motorman declares that he couldn't
help the accident and the fault for it
has not been fixed
The majority of the passengers were
from the East Side and among them
were many who have aided the East
Siders in their attempt to get better
street car service, and this mrning's in
cident gave them further reason ir
which to carry on their cause for bet
ter transportation.
Some of Those Aboard.
Among those aboard the car were
William Behn, 1889 Ewing avenue; ]
F. Rowe, 10634 Avenue o; w. Rick
ards, 9To7 Ewing avenue; w. l. Doran
63T Seventy third street; Albert Car
son, s739 Ewing avenue; P. ]. Glea
son, 1920 Ewing avenue. There wer'
several Hammond people aboard.
The street car company has begu,
an investigation of the affair.

WIRE MYST|F|ES POLICE
Who Knows E. E. Ritter and
Of the "Store He
Robbed"

A telegram was received at the local
police station which is proving some
thing of mystery to the police. 1t is
from Springfield Ill, and reads:
"E. E. Ritter a suicide here. What
store did he rob and when? What SEN
tence did he receive? Was he released,
and when?"
The police do not remember that any
man by the name of z. E. Ritter was
arrested here for robbing a store and
was afterwards sent to Jail The tele-
gram would indicate that a man had
suicided who ws identified as z. E.
Ritter, and that on his person there
was something to indicate that he had
robeed a store here and had been SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for it.
Chief OF Police Rimabch intends to
write to the chief of police at Spring
field. and find out about the particulars
of the case. There are a number of
people in this city by the name of Rit-
ter. but none of hem have a police
record.
