Ed. Towse spoke of the exhibit at
Omaha, and thought the policy of
something for nothing could always
make a hit. That was the spirit that
prevailed among visitors to expositions.
He suggested miniature sugar mill in
operation,t or anything of that nature
as long as 1t had motion to il. He
thought the cyclorama was now thing
of the past, its snbtitute being moving

be an attraction.

MRS. kLEMME MET N
/. DEATH INSTANT

The following account of the deate
of Mrs. Harry Klemme appears in tIsV
San Francisco Cali of August 10: "
One woman was crushed to deatie
and two men badly injured last nightA
when an automobile, containing az
party of three, plunged over the bridge,
at the Fourteen Mile house ON the
San Mateo road into the stream twenty
feet below. The dead:
Mrs. Annie Klemme, 2103 Howard
street, wife of Honolulu business man.
The injured: @. N. Wolf, a hard
ware merchant of Nineteenth and Mis-
sion streets; Harry Klemme, l5.year.
old son of Mrs. Klemme.
The third of the startling series d.
automobile accidents occurred in tffel
dead CT night. In the machine werP
r. l.. Hughes, Mrs. Klemme, her sonh
Harry, and Wolf, who was at theI'
wheel. They were on their way backj
to San Francisco from San Mateo.
Wolf had let the machine out at
pretty fair rate of speed, and as it
rose to the hin near the bridge a
eucalyptus tree obscured the roadway
and unknowingly Wolf steered the
machine toward the bank. Before he
could throw on the brakes or reverse
it, the machine swerved to the right
| and smashed over the bridge.
AS it did so the four instinctively
| rose to throw themselves to safety.
Mrs. Klemme's shrek of agony cut
through the night and brought to IS,aIssI
feet the guests at the Fourteen L. \
house, known as Uncle Tom G.
In the breathloss pause they hearo
crash of the automobile as it plSzsf
its way into the shallow stream-t
then the hoarse cry of pain
horror.
Every man in the place ran to sstI
rescue. In the dim light of the lyNN
terms they could see the wrecked Etf
tomobile churning up the shalIte.|
water, and as they looked a dripp,sd
form, cut and bleeding, rose from
debris. This was Harry Klemme, NJ4
least injured of the three. ia
His mother aud Wolf were lying nryl
tionless, portions of their bodies PRIV
jecting from under the mass of iroev
! machinery. The work of rescue wal
quick and systematic. While some
pulled at the wreckage others hunted
for physician, and finally rounded mp
DR.. Plymire, who fastened to the spot
in an automobile.
Mrs. Klemme was dead when taken
from under the wreckage. The indi-
cations were that she was killed in
stantly. Wolf was alive, but seriously
injured. Mrs. Klemme IS body was laid
aside in the Uncle Toms cabin, and
Wolf laid in one of the hotel beds.
The scene of the accident is fourteen
miles from San Francisco, on the San
Mateo road. The road is very pop
ular one for automobiles, and there is
| seldom time of the night or day
when they are not passing.
