HINDU KISSED At

Report on Brown Slave Traffic
in India Arouses Fair
Briton's Ire

International complications were
threatened at the California club meet
ing yesterday afternoon. Kisses there
were, and explanations offered and de-
ferred and insistence of the courtesfes
due and a great many other things, in
cluding the possibilities Of numerous
fainting spells"
Taraknath Dass. a Hindu student at
the University of California, was intro
duced by Mrs. W. S. Leake, chairman of
the day. to deliver an address on the
Hindu PHILOSOPHERS.
When he finally diverted himself
from his PHILOSOPHERS he began TO read
statistics of the chocolate brown
equivalent of the white slave trade in
India and gave his hearers to under
stand that the British government was
exacting as to qualifications and as to
the supply equaling the demand
AS the statistics became more pro-
nounced and the British government
more deeply involved. Kisses were heard
from the center of the house. These
emanated from Mrs Jean Sinclair, cor
responding secretary of the club, a
member of the prison visiting commit
tee and an enthusiast in the work of
stamping out the white slave traffic
but Briton by birth. and an ardent
subject of King George.
Taraknath looked undisturbed, but
began to back off The stage
Mrs. James c. Crawford, vice presi-
dent, rose and said that she would like
to make an explanation.
Miss EIeanore Joseph, thinking that
Mrs. Crawford's explanation might fur
ther reprove the frankness of the
speaker, rose also and said, with en-
phasis, that she must insist that the
gentleman be allowed to complete his
sentence. Mrs. Crawford tried to calm
Miss Joseph, but the latter was strong
in her demands.
Finally Mrs. Crawford was permitted
to say that the statistician was a stu
dent and that it was natural that he
should describe conditions in his ma
tive land as they appeared to him.
Taraknath was rescued from the OBJ
scurity of the dressing room, where he
had fed during the discussion, and
asked for the peroration of his com
pound fractured sentence. He tact
fully said he had forgotten what he
was about to say, but that he would

DALo ALTO. Sept. ao.-Filled with
a number of Stanford university

morning, a Peninsula interurban cleo
trio car. in charge of Motorman S. r.
crashed into by Southern Pacific
freight train, which backed across the
crossing at the foot of University ave-
nue. just as the car was clearing the
tracks. While the collision ripped the
electric car into splinters and turned it
on its side. owing to the fact that the
car was moving slowly none of the
passengers was injured. though all
We're tumbled about inside and some
were considerably bruised.
At the time of the accident Conduc-
tor Marcum was standing at the cross
ing. giving Johnson the signal to
cross behind the standing freight
train. The car moved across the tracks
but when directly behind the train the
freight deliberately backed into the
rear platform, lifting the car COM
pletely off the ground.
Bystanders Immediately shouted to
the railroad switching crew and the
movement of the train stopped. Imme-
date attention was given to the panic
stricken passengers, who were strewn
about the side and bottom of the car
amid the broken glass and splintered
woodwork. 1t was at first thought that
some of the women passengers were
seriously hurt, but after recovering
from the shock all were able to leave
the wreckage and scene of the collision.
The point where the accident oc-
CURED is considered highly dangerous.
In the time the interurban system has
been in operation a number of acct
dents of the same nature have been
narrowly syerted., Owing TO the prox-
unity of buildings to the crossing it is
almost impossible for the engineer of
a freight train TO see the tracks The
conductor of the freight was standing
on the ground some distance back
fro mthe crossing when he gave his
