sister, Miss Marie Jorgenson, and Miss
Mary Jensen. They We're pitched clear
OF the automobile and not seriously in
jured. The young women are em-

horsepower Thomas flyer. from the
Piedmont garage, and with Mowry as
the chauffeur started out to take his
sister and her companion for ride.
The party stopped at several places
along the boulevard and at o'clock
left Hunters inn to return to Oakland.

oiately. began to race.
