TWO PASTORS IN
RUNAWAY CRASH
ONE MINISTER Is PR0BABL Y
FATALLY INJURED
One of the Victims Has Arm Broken
and Is Much Bruised-Buggy
Upsets on a Steep
Hill
GBy Associated Press.l ]

SAN LUIS OBISPO. March 21.--Rev
G. L. March of Paso Robes was seri-
ously, probably fatally, injured and
Rev. George Willitt of this city suf-
fered a broken arm and numerous cuts
and bruises yesterday when the team
behind which they were riding took
fright at a passing automobile and
started up steep bank, upsetting the
buggy and hurting it's occupants to the
ground.
c. w. Ayers of jamestown, Tuo-
lumne county, who was at the wheel
OF the auto, stopped his machine and
ran to the assistance OF the two cler-
gymen, leaving his wife in the car.
In his haste he failed to lock the
brakes and the automobile started
again and ran down the road un-
guided until it crashed into tree ano
came to halt.
Marchs injuries consist of numer-
GUS severe contusions and several
fractured bones. His condition was
pronounced critical today. He has moi
regained consciousness.
The clergymen were returning tc
this city from San Miguel when they
encountered Ayers automobile at a
point where the road is flanked by high
banks.
The frightened horses swerved and
made a frantic effort to climb one OF
these banks, overturning the buggy on
March and Willitt, who were unable to
jump to safety.

SACRAMENTO, March 21.-District
primary matters continue to be the
chief topic of conversation about the
capitol, and the outcome of tomorrows y
vote is looked forward to with great
interest.
]. Louis Martin, the senate sergeant
alarms, having sought in vain the SER
vices of two of the three physicians
named by Lieutenant Governor Porter,
to inquire into the condition of Senator
Black at Palo Alto, finally started with
DR.. Montgomery. Little or nothing is
expected of the visit, however, 1t being
believed that Blacks physicians state
ment that the senator is too weak to
travel, direct rimary or no direct pri-
mary, will be considered conclusive by
the medical profession.
The action of the people of Palo Alto
in publicly rallying to Blacks defense
strengthens the impression that the
next vote will be the old story of 20
to 10. with no opportunity either for
tie vote nor enough to concur in as
sembly amendments.
The senate is very weary, physically
and mentally, and little has been done
today, although hope of changing the
one necesg vote has not yet been
abandoned by Wright and the district
plan men.
A remarkable tour of the Sacramento
valley was made by majority of the
members of both houses OF the legisla-
ture, their wives, sweethearts, and a
score of correspondents today The OBJ
ject of the excursion was TO Impress
upon the legislature she need OF the
control of the flood waters of the Sac
ramento river and it's tributaries be-
ing undertaken by state legislation.
About 400 persons made the trip.
