HIGH HEELS CAUSE
OF WOMAN'S FALL
French Footgear Blamed for
Car Accident and Damage
Suit Is Dismissed
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

lSpeeIdt Dispatch 10 The Gail
OAKLAND. May 1.-THE wearing of
French heels may be ranked as con-
tributory negligence if the owner falls
and is injured in aIighting from a
streetcar. This startling doctrine, of
deep interest to the fashionable world,
and the. shoe manufacturers, was pro-
nounced in department of the Ala
media superior court today. It, came
when the suit of Mrs. Anna Peterson
for $500 damages against the Oakland
traction company was dismissed by
Judge F. V. Wood. She said she had
been thrown to the pavement in ahght-
ing from Twelfth street car at Broad
way and had been injured so that she
suffered pain for several weeks
BY process of elimination. possible
causes of the trouble were narrowed
down. The car was proved to have
been at standstilI, there were no
particularly slippery places on the
pavement and no one ran against Mrs
Peterson. There was nothing left but
to examine into the subject of Mrs
Peterson's, footing and then her foot
gear to trace the accident to its source.
A direct question from an attorney
for the scompany all but upset Mrs.
Peterson and Judge Wood What kind
of shoes did you have on. Mrs. Peter
SOM was the question. and is II not
a fact that the heels were very high?''
Mrs. Peterson. gasping at the au-
dacity of the question. stammered that
they were not so. very high. but ad-
mitted that they elevated her heels
close to three inches and might readily
have caught on the iron binding of the
side step.
There was nothing for il but to de-
eide that Mrs. Peterson had no case
against the company 1t was shown
that Mrs. Peterson had overcome Ter
feminine instinct to get on facing in
the wrong direction. So the heels were
held responsible because nothing else
was left to blame the accident upon.

COUNTIES WILL PROMOTE
PRACTICE OF FORESTRY
Good Results Expected From
Operation of New Law

When Governor Giliett signed the
bill providing for the creation of coun-
ty boards OF forestry another step
was taken by California in its effort
to promote the practice of forestry
within the state.
This bill authorizes the county SUI
pervisors TO appoint board of for
estry. whose secretary shall be a.
trained forester. Such forester shall
have power to enforce fhe provisions
of said act and all lawful orders of
the forestry board. and in addition is
vested with the powers of a peace
officer to make arrests for violation
of the law.
This law was the direct result OF the
work accomplished by, Riverside coun-
ty. which has for some time main
tained paid forester to look after the
setting out and caring for trees within
the county
The results obtained in that county
were so satisfactory that it was
thought desirable TO extend the scone
of the work to other localities

CAUGHT IN YUMA
Private Charles Ackers, Said to
Be Prominent Railwayman's
Son, Arrested in Arizona

Private Charles Ackers, or Acker-
man. said to be the son of a pronli-
nent railroad official in the south,
whose sensational desertion from his
post as a private in the signal corps
of the United states army, stationed at
the Presidio. caused furore from one
end of the country to the other, was
arrested yesterday at Fort Yuma. Ariz.
The telegram announcing his appre-
hension was extremely brief. giving
no details except that he was in the
hands of the civil authorities and ask
His capture was brought about by
the efforts of the Southern Pacific. Fol-
lowing the publicity given his deser-
ton every agent in the employ of the
southern Pacific was wired to look out
for him. Apart from this, the army
authorities took unusual measures to
head him off, intending to show that
no outside influences, however strong,
could interfere with military laws.
Just what will be done with Ackers
is not known Powerful interests are
said to be working on his behalf in
Washington, and there is a presenti-
ment in army circles that the political
chiefs of the capitol viii endeavor to
stif1e the case and allow Ackers to go
free. Such a movement will. be Wig
orously combated. Ackers, as far as
the army is concerned. is nothing but
a deserting private. There is no feel
ing against him personally. The bat
tie is for the maintenance of army

The Award Popular

One of the most pleasing features of
the selection Of Miss Phillips is that
she is as popular on the campus and
in the clubs as she is studious. She
is member of the English club. which
controls the dramatics of the univer-
sity, the Newman club, the Catholic or
ganization, and the f'rytsnean society,
the honor society of the college wom-
Ell. Despite her club and social life she
found time to study and win the fame
of being the most brilliant scholar of
her class.
Miss Phillips is "A years old and was
born in Hanford, where she has lived
all her life. She was educated in the
primary and grsmmrr schools of her

Playing for Time

The government is playing for time;

the spirit of the meeting as expressed

During the debate in the chamber,
Sembal and Willm. socialists. defended
the strikers, affirming their right to
organize syndicate as the only way
of redressing their grievances and
charging the government with failure
to keep its promises at the conclusion
of the previous strike. especially with
regard 70 the retirement of NJ Simyan,
under-secretary of posts and tele-
graphs.
NJ Deschanel considered the crisis
very grave. He laid the responsibility
for. the present situation largely on

sidered the remedy would be the in
