Pinned Under Machine

The river is % feet deep at this
point, and pinned as they were under
the automobile. there was absolutely
no chance of the women saving them
selves. The whole affair did not last
"a minute, but in that brief time four
lives were lost.
All the dead are we'll known not
alone in Woodland but throughout the
surrounding country. Miss Julia Dun
gan of San Francisco was visiting her
relatives in Woodland.
The endeavors to recover the bodies
will not cease until they are located.
The entire countryside is now gath
cred at the river banks at the scene
of the accident, the women aiding the
men. Scores of men are diving again
and again into the waters Many OF
them are completely fatigued but no
sooner does one cease for a breathing
spell than another takes his place. 1t
is thought that all four bodies will be
found under the automobile.
The road running along the Sacra-
mento river has long been considered
an extremely, dangerous one for. auto
mobiles. In many spots it is absolutely
without safeguard. the road running to
the edge Of the embanxment. At night
it is extremely difficult to Judge the
exact distances, and scores of mishaps

late tonight men and women, aided
by the fitful CLEANS of lanterns, were
moving up and down the river seek

them could be found. Neither could
the automobile be located.
The road at Knights landing runs
parallel with the Sacramento river
and is not very wide ont. There
is, however, sufficient space in which
an automobile can turn and this fact
makes the accident the stranger. The
presumption is that Armstrong lost abb
solute control of the machine and re-
versed at the wrong moment.
The people walking along the main
street of knights landing had not the
slightest inkling of the impending dis
aster until they heard the screams of
the women. There they saw, in the
semidarkness, the four standing up,
wild with fright and horror. with Arm

That was the last sight of them. The

handsome gowns are worn. Rea Car

ing d woman of charming appearance,
and her work was decidedly clever.
Particularly pleasing was her work in
the opening act in her scenes with her

Talked Il Hours
SPEECH BY "THEOCRATIC" CAM
pIpATE FOR GOVERNOR.
BIG STUNT ON BOSTON COMMON
Speaker Will Be Remembered as Man
Who Sued the Good Government As
sociation for s76,ooo,ooo for sIander.

Boston, Oct. 3.-Boston Common, for
many years the scene of the efforts
of exponents of many and varied
creeds and beliefs, probably never saw
more extraordinary feat than today,
when for twelve hours. with but one
intermission of 20 minutes for lunch,
Judge Henry P/ Dewey, who has an
noqnced himself as the "theocratic"
candidate for governor, talked contin-
uously upon the "esta blished religion
of the state
Judge Dewey attracted much atten-
tion on the bench of the municipal
court some years ago by original in
terpretations of the law; four years
ago he ran for mayor of Boston and
caused comment by appearing upon
the platfor mattired in evening dress;
then later he sued the Good Govern
ment association for $4,000, 900 for
alleged SANDER regarding his inten-
tions during the campaign but lost
the verdict
At six o'clock this morning Judge
Dewey took his stand upon the slope
at the west of the soldiers monument.
His audience consisted of his brother
and one newspaper man. Shortly aft
er policeman arrived. The audience
was small up to S.45. when the speak
er took a 25-minute recess and had
a lunch at nearby hotel. Returning
to the Common at 9.10 Judge Dewey
again took up his argument, with
larger audience, and talked without d
break until six p. m. The audience
gradually increased until some 800 to
500 people were present.
The speaker declared that the peo-
pie of the country, especially the law
yers and judiciary. had departed from
the right spirit of the constitution and
bill of rights of Massachusetts, which
distinctly acknowledged a supreme be-
ing. He said: "The recognized laws
of God, theocratic. unwriten laws the
eternal verities," were being ignored
in the practice of the day.
