The San Francisco call., 1909-12-28

Clymonds to task for his anita gonistic
attitude:
Among others who spoke were
Thomas E. Hayden, president of the
board of education; Prof z. P. Cub
berley of Stanford and Joseph OCon-
nor. former president of the board OF
education.
The morning session of the council
was called to order by President keyes
and was addressed by Lewis B. Avery,
principal of the san Jose high school;
VIII c. Wood, superintendent of schools
of Alameda county, and c. l. Bieden-
bach. principal of the Mckinley school,
Berkeley.
The speakers were of accord on the
proposition that there was too violent
a break between the studies and
methods of teaching in the elementary
schools and the high schools. They
argued for a system under which high
school studies would be introduced
sooner. In particular did Superinten-
dent Wood assert that the natural line
of division would come about the sixth
grade. and that with the seventh grade
the high school studies and methods
should be introduced.
The sessions of the council were
largely attended.
The Contra Costa county institute
met in the physics laboratory audi
torium at the Mission high school. w.
II Hanlon, county superintendent of
schools, presided The new course of
studies in the schools was discussed
at length and W. IT. Helms. president of
the county board of education. stated
that changes suggested by the teachers
would be made Others who spoke were
c. II Jones. Miss Annie Loucks and
superintendent Hanlon. The next coun-
tv institute will be held in Richmond.
There were ESQ Sonoma county teach
ers present Yesterday when their in
stitute was called to order in the audi
torium of the Mission grammar school.
County Superintendent Dewitt Mont
gomery presided A. c. Barker, city
superintendent of Santa Rosa, delivered
a vigorous address in which he at
tackled the present school library, de-
claring that it contained too many
worthless books. He submitted a list
of books which would do for a library.
Superintendent Montgomery stated that
ne agreed in the main with the views
expressed by Barker.
E. NJ Cox, president of the Califor-
MIA teachers association, addressed the
teachers on educational topics and ad-
vised them TO give their heartiest CO.
operation to the association. At the
conclusion of the institute the mems
teachers club of Sonoma county had
business meeting.

PULLMAN CARS ON
"OWL" ARfD|TCHED
Passengers Badly Jared. but
Escape With Bruises and
Shaking Up
Cars Leave Track and Turn
Over, but Level Ground Pre-
vents Disastrous Wreck

Several San Franeiscans we're bruised
or badly shaken up in the .overturning
of two Pullman cars attached to the
Southern Pacific owl train near
Hally, in the San Joaquin valley, at
SIS o'clock yesterday morning. The
train was northbound and running at
a high speed The fact that the grouud
is level at the point of the accident
prevented serious injury to the many
sleeping passengers.
Among the injured passengers were;
B. III. Dyer OF 623 East Third street
Los Angeles. left eye cut by glass
ID. C. Lane OF Los Angeles. left hip
bruised.
f. G. Kahn of 457 South Broadway
street. Los Angeles, bruises Of back
and stomach
Mrs. Il. A. FizeII of Davis, right arm
bruised, suffering from severe shock
ODD CAUSE OF WRECK
The wreck was caused by the slew
ing of both the forward and rear trucks
of one of the Pullmans. This forced the
car from its course and the speed at
which the train was travelling threw
the disabled car from the tracks. The
two cars following. a Pullman and an
observation car. jumped the track also.
but only the two Pullmans overturned
Among the injured was ii. c. Hack
staff of 671 Howard street, whose right
shoulder was wrenched as he was
thrown out of his berth by the over
turning of the car. E. ]. Fallon, who
resides at 1881 Howard street. was
bruised on the knee, arm and shoulder
and flying glass cut him on the head
and face.
O. F. Coleman of 623 East Third
street, Los Angeles. was probably the
most seriously injured among the pas
sengers. He complained Of severe pains
in the back, and his left leg and right
arm were badly bruised.
NARROWLY ESCAPE DEATH
W. P. Chase of this city. president of
the Portola decorating company, was
one of the passengers in the over
turned cars. He climbed out of win
dow, attired in his night clothes.
There was more than a hundred
passengers on the train. all sleeping
soundly after their Christmas festivi-
ties Chase said yesterday. Owing to
the level stretch of road the cars just
heeled over and we were assisted from
the wrecked coaches without difficulty"
Doctor Crooks, surgeon of the Japa-
nese steamer Tenyo Maru, who was one
of the passengers, declared that had the
accident occurred on an embankment
the loss of life would have been heavy.
Two chair cars, secured at Tracy,
were attached to the train and a start
made after two hours delay. The train
was three hours behind schedule in ar
riving at San Francisco.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The bid for gas stock rose to 75ls during
the call at the meeting today of the stock
exchange. The lowest offering was 75&,
but there was no apparent supply Of the
stock on hand except another offering at
rs. After the call, however. three quota
ton shares of twenty-five shares each
were sold at 1914 At the present time the
shopworn phrase that the buying Is better
than the selling applies to this security.
In the case of the other securities on the
list the demand is not a large one. al
though even slight recessions from cur
rent figures is usually met by buyers.
The active list, however. has dwindled
considerably in recent days so that at the
present time, judging from the daily
transactions, it contains only one or two
securities.
The railway securities formerly were
all on the active list. and PROVIDED the
bulk OF the business done, but for some
time past they have not been in that class
Occasionally there Is Slight trading IN
Them but the level Of the current figures
is somewhat lower than was the case a
few months ago.
There Is no particular reason assigned
for this change. The year of the bust
ness of the street railways is nearly COM
pleted and it is believed that the re-
ports will shoV an increase In the re-
ceipts, not only gross. but also net
The course of the securities on the mar
ket recently might lead to the conclu-
sion that the showing for the year would
not be favorable one. Unlike the bank
and trust company stocks which have
made a practically uniform advance In
the prices quoted and in this way dis
counting the increased earnings which the
annual reports will show there has been
a tendency toward lower levels with the
railway securities. In both instances the
growth in business reflects the influence
Of the increase in the population of the
city.
On the 18th of next month the stock
holders of the Union Trust Company Will
receive q quarterly dividend of IN per
cent, which is at the rate Of per cent
a year.

Lehigh Valley Holdings Sold.

The most interesting item of news to-
day was the announcement that the
Lackawanna had sold its holdings Of
Lehigh Valley, understood to be about
$1,000. 900 par value, to Drexel & Co..
this firm now holding. it is understood.
more Lehigh Valley stock than at any
time in the past.
With the sale of the Lackawanna's in
terest. the last of the Lehigh Valley stock
owned by the railroads, which a few
years ago apparently established COM
munity of interest in this property, has
now been parted with.
Considering the strong footing which
Rock Island interests have recently
canned IN i-ehigh Valley. there may be
some relation between this fact and the
sale of the Lackawanna shares.
Call money ruled and renewed around
sic per cent, and foreign exchange was
steady in the early dealings.

General Market Improves.

When it appeared this morning that the
fireworks were out of the Rock Island
movement the rest of the market exhib-
tied a hardening price movement and an
improving tone which was chiefly fndi-
Gated in the subsistence Of feverish symp-
toms. AS the session progressed prices
became less and less irregular in respect
TO the changes from last nights closing
make advances.
New York Central was throughout an
sggressively strong feature of the rail-
road issues. Pennsylvania, Union "a
cific and other standard stocks were
very firm, and the Wabashes rose with
considerable vigor. The most significant
price movement of the day perhaps
was, however. noted in the Industrial
list. where Anaconda, American Smelt-
ing. Amalgamated Copper, National
Lead and Utah Copper moved strongly
inward.
