RAILROAD COLLISION
HURTS TWO TRAMPS
Reno Express Crashes Into a
Gravel Train and Several
Bones Are Broken

OAKLAND. April S.-Two tramps
were injured as the result of rail-
road collision near Rodeo shortly after
noon today. The Reno express, east
bound, crashed into the rear of a
gravel train, throwing eight cars off
the track. A small panic ens-. L
among the passengers.
The tramps. who were stealing trans
portation on the work train, were the
only victims. One of them, John Will
liams. had his leg broken. and amputa-
ton was necessary. Ed Reardon, his
companion, had several ribs broken,
and sustained severe bruises. Both
were taken to Providence hospital this
city.
Responsibility for the accident has
not yet been fixed by the Southern
Pacific officials. The workers on the
gravel train, who were dumping ball
last, say that a fiagman was sent to
the rear with a red flag, according to
rules.
Thinking that the accident was one
of much greater seriousness, messages
were sent to Oakland for physicians,
and Drs. o. d. Hamlin, ReinIe, Rice.
Irwin and Smith were rushed to the
scene.
1t was several hours before the
track was cleared.

BEGINS WORK ON
NEW BERKELEY LINES
Southern Pacific Company
Starts Construction of Exten-
sion Railway System
W6EEN.

BERK KELEY, April s.-nitial work
on the new lines of the Southern Pa
cifc company, franchises for which
were granted last November, was
started today when three fat cars of
rails were dumped at Bergman sta
tion and a gang of 80 workmen started
excavation work for the tracks which
will form the extension OF the Shat
tuck avenue line.
Within the next two days more than
400 laborers and engineers will be at
work and the four lines, the construc-
tion of which will involve the sum of
100000, will be completed in is
months. Edward G. Miller, assistant
engineer of construction, is in charge
of the work.
The initial points of construction
where the crews have been distributed
are at Shattuck avenue and Vine
street. California and Rose streets and
,inth and Parker streets. Each of
these points marks three of the four
lines which the Southern Pacific COM
pany will construct here. No work
has yet been started on the Ellsworth
line, a branch of the Adeline- Shattuck
avenue line up Ellsworth to the uni
versity grounds.
The Ninth street line leaves the
Berkeley local trunk line near Golden
Gate through to ocean View forming
a loop with the California street which
joins the trunk line at Adeline street.
The Shattuck avenue line will be ex-
tended from the present terminal at
Vine street north on Henry to North
brae to meet the California line with
which it will form a second loop.
With the system of loops a ten
minute service will be possible. The
corporation has three years to finish
the construction work. The motive
power will be gained from the central
power house at Fruitvale as the
lines under the franchises will be
operated by electricity.

ALAMEDA, April S.-Several of the
manufacturing industries along the
Alameda shore of the estuary west of
Walnut street are without rail facili-
ties and have been endeavoring to have
belt line laid for their accommoda-
tion. Mayor E. X. Taylor favored
extending the Southern Pacific COM
pany's spur freight track in Blanding
avenue westward through and over the
land claimed by the Dow pump engine
company. The latter concern opposed
the extension of this freight line and
wanted another freight line laid in
Clement avenue, a residential thor
Oughfare one block south of Blanding
avenue. General opposition from prop
erty owners quickly followed and
Dow's plan was turned down.

be taken TO commence condemnation
proceedings against the Dow pump en-
gine company. The necessary papers
were prepared by City Attorney NJ. w.
Simpson and arrangements were about
completed to start the suit. Last night
the city council voted to abandon the
condemnation proceedings and TO favor
