CHILD RUN DOWN BY
SWITCH ENGINE AS
DEATH CAR PASSES
LOCOMOTIVE TEARS BABE
FROM MOTHERS ARMS
Tiny Girl, FrightfuIIy Mangled, Taken
to Crocker Street Hospital with
Victims of Automobile
Wreck

While the Pacific Electric car was
carrying it's freight of dead and in
jured into Los Angeles from Latin
station, about 6:15 last night, the
wheels of a Southern Pacific switch
engine almost crushed out the life of a
tiny girl, Bertha Schlocher, three
years old, Of 1866 East Twenty-fourth
street, on the siding in the rear of
the American Olive company, at Long
Beach avenue and East Adams street.
The accident to the little one must
have happened almost at the ttmo
when the death car on the electric
line was rushing past.
The right arm and right leg of the
baby girl were so badly crushed by
the locomotive that both had to be
amputated at the Crocker street hos
pital, where the child still was fight
ing for life at o'clock this morning
with a chance.
Maurice Schlocher, the father of the
baby was employed at the plant of
the American Olive company and was
there at work. 1t was Thanksgiving
day and the mother and little one,
about six o'clock, went to the plant
of the company to meet him and take
him back home to the Thanksgiving
feast that was awaiting them.
Mother and Daughter Together
The easiest way into the plant was
along Alameda street and the spur
track that ran from the Southern Pa
cific's line to the factory.
Mother and daughter wandered along
the railroad track with no thought of
danger until suddenly the mother
heard the sound of the switch engine.
and she grabbed the baby's hand to
drag her out of danger.
1t was too late. The little one had
not heard the engine. The mother
caught the hand just as the engine
struck her baby and the childs hand
was torn loose. The little one turned
her head one side just in time to miss
the heavy wheels, but both right arm
and right leg were ground into a
shapeless mass before the locomotive
could be stopped.
The father left his work with light
heart to meet mother and babe, only
to find the little one hopelessly Grip
pied for life and perhaps fatally in
jured. AS soon as possible the MANNED
child was hurried to the Crocker street
hospital, where it is said that she has
a chance for recovery, but her right
arm and right leg are gone forever.

steamer also brought several Amer
leans to operate the guns.
In an interview today General Cha
MORO, revolutionary leader, said that
Grace and Cannon, the Americans,
were captured by General Toledo near
Greytown. Zelaya ordered them shot.
Toledo refused to obey the order, but
had them placed in the front ranks,
where they were open to General Cha
morro's attack. They were uninjured
and subsequently sent to a dungeon in
Ell Castillo fort. General Chamorro
says he knows nothing further regard
ing Grace and Cannon.
Chamorro declares the blockade OF
Greytown is effective by sea and by
land and he is confident that the
troops of General Zelaya will soon
give in. He will leave tonight for
Greytown with 800 recruits and a party
of sharpshooters.
Conditions here are quiet.

BRITISH EMBASSY AT
WASHINGTON PUZZLED
BY VISIT OF CRUISER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The visit
of the British cruiser Scylla to Blue
fields, Nicaragua, and the call OF
its commander Bertram s. Theslger'
on Senior Estrada, provisional presi-
dent, is not understood at the British
embassy.
Inquiry there tonight met the state
ment that no advices of the warshlp
call had been received and 1t was con-
iectured that the vessel put in mere
iy to discover whether British inter-
ests were in jeopardy.
1t was denied, however, that the
personal visit of Commander Thesiger
roieht have been to ascertain exactly
the proportions the revolution has at
tanned.
It was pointed out that if Great
Britain intended to recognize the pei
ligerency of the Estrada party 1t
would have acted under the interna-
tional law, which provides that such
recognition be public and formal.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-26

The car was going at a high rate of
speed when MOtorman Turnmilliger,
through the dim glass at the front of
the car, saw the automobile drive onto
the railroad track. He sounded his
gong and blew the whistle frantically.
The engine of the auto apparently went
dead and the occupants seemed so
frightened that they remained in their
seats. The motorman, when he saw
the danger of the autoists, threw on
the air brakes, reversed the power and
made every effort to check the speed
of the car Owing to the drizzling rain
the tracks were slippery and the car,
with it's momentum scarcely checked,
crashed into the automobile.
Just as the fender of the car was
within several feet of the motor car,
John Jacobs threw his brother Peter
out of the car, then he and his sweet
heart, Josephine Solon, locked them
selves in each others arms and leaped
from the auto. They struck the ground
several feet from the tracks and rolled
away from the automobile when the
crash came.
The others, being so crowded in the
small touring car were unable to get
out and were hurled high in the air
when the auto was literally lifted

CRUISER LOADED WITH
AMMUNITION is READY
TO GO TO NICARAGUA

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 25.-With its
hold stored with provisions and am
munition, the United states cruiser
Prairie lies at the Philadelphia navy
ward today ready to sail for Panama or
Nicaragua.
Four hundred marines who are to be
carried by the cruiser to Caribbean wa
ters, are awaiting the signal to start.
Several weeks ago orders were re-
ceived at the yard from the navy de-
partment at Washington to have the
Prairie ready to transport marines to
the Isthmus of Panama in December.
After the Nicaraguan incident, in
which two Americans were shot, orders
were received from Washington to ad-
vance the sailing time, and the cruiser
probably will leave on Saturday.
Meanwhile preparations are being
made at the navy yard for a review of

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Grnee and
Cannon, the two Americans executed by
order of President Zelaya of Nicaragua
last week, held commissions in the In
surgent army. according to private ad-
vices received tonight from Bluehelds,
where the revolutionists' government is
located. The dispatch stated that the
state department Of the United states
had been notified to this effect.
The state department has been anx-
ious to clear up the point whether the
two men had been commissioned or were
merely acting in their individual ca
paclty, for in the former event they
would have been entitled to treatment

Two of the occupants were thrown
beneath the front of the car and the
elder Jacobs was dead alongside the

man brought the car to a standstill.
Mrs. Jacobs and her 6-weeks-old
baby daughter were buried quite

and sustained a concussion of the

The passengers on the car were con-

in picking up the dead and attend

were greatly affected by the sight of
