FRIGHTENED BY AUTo-A tean


 and freight wagon belonging to the Pioneer Transfer company, resenting the forced attentions and impOlite fla miliarity of an automobile about o'clock yesterday afternoon, formed the central figure in a short, but eX- citing and somewhat disastrous run away. The team was standing at the freight house of the Southern Pacific lines near the M. & P. depot, when the automobile was backed up to within two feet of the horses before it was suddenly reversed and went on its way. The horses naturally ltbe- came frightened and ran, but only proceeded as far as First avenue when the outfit collided with a tele- phone pole. The telephone pole was broken, the wagon tongue was broken, and the harness was broken, though fortunately the horses were uninjured. The transfer company will see that the telephone pole is replaced and the other repairs made, after which a bill for the cost will be rendered to the owner of the automobile.
 A SLASHER SENTENcED-Night before last, Telesforo Hombres was proceeding along the streets kicking doors and crowding people off the side walk when Constable Murphy took him into custody and started to jail with him. On the way he met a friend and stopped to talk. His attention was momentarily diverted from his prison CT, and when he turned the latter had his arm raised and had a long knife in his hand. You can take other folks to jail" he said, but you can't take me" At the first movement of the officer, Hombres struck, and the knife cTt through the upper part of the constable's cOat-sleeve The off cer seized the arm of-Hombres and tried to persuade him to drop the knife. He would not be persuaded, and then the officer dropped him. using his gun for a club. He took him to jail after he recovered without further resistance. The act of Hombres was a felony, but on his appearance in court yesterday morning, Justice John-- stone imagined from the look of his face that he had already received pret- ty severe punishment. and so let him off with 150 days in the county jail.

Among the condolences received from

The accident was due to the snap

General Roques reports that there was
no fire or explosion.
The experts agree that such a mis-

There is a general realization Of the
necessity Of legislation on this subject.
Speaker Cannon believes that a mere eX-
tension Of the present law, with perhaps
a few amendments in details will suf-
flee. President Taft looks with favor
upon the proposition to create a great
central bank, and there are all sorts Of
Intermediate schemes. Probably that
which commands the greatest support will
be based upon the recommendations of
the monetary commission which has been
at work for more than a year gather
ing the material for the construction of
the actual legislation.
Tt is fully understood by Senator AID
