Auto a Complete Wreck

The fast-moving trolley car, when the two came together, completely demol- ished the automobile The occupants were thrown through the air. Mrs. Slocum struck on her head. It was immediately seen that her condition was serious, and she was placed aboard a trolley car, to be hurried to a hospital. After having gone some distance in the car, she was transferred to an automobile, and the driver hurried with all possible speed to tie Georgetown University hospital When the hospital was reached the sur geons pronounced Mrs. Slocum dead.
 Maj.-Gen. Bell also appeared to be in a serious condition. A passing automo- bile was hailed and the general was placed in it and hurried to the post hos pital at Fort Myer. At the hospital the surgeons made an examination of the generals wounds, and it was found he was suffering from confusion of the chest and slight scalp wound. The post surgeon, Maj. J. H. Allen, said at
 first that no bones were broken, and that as far as had been ascertained in a hurried examination, there were no in- ternal injuries. A late examination, how ever, disclosed that one of the generals ribs was broken. After his wounds were dressed the general was removed in an automobile to his home near the hos pital. At last reports he was reasonably comfortable.

"Father. and the Boysv

William H. Crane and a well-nigh fault less cast appeared last night at the Jeff ferson for the first of 8 o-performance engagement of Father and the Boys the popular comedy by George Ade. which was so well received last season. Mr. Crane appeared to his usual perfec- tion and his efforts were thoroughly ap- preciated, as evidenced by the applause.
 The star was given ample support. Percy Brooke. Louis Massen. Sidney Blair, Forrest Orr and Scott Daley were excellent in their respective roles. Miss Margaret Dale was wholly pleasing as Bessie Brayton, while Miss Vivian Mar tim Miss Ella Payne. Miss Adele Clarke and others did excellent work.
 The play was very well received. and kept the audience in continual chuckle. Another performance will be given to- night.

General Wood Shocked

New York, March 23.--Major General Wood, in command of the department of the east and who was slated to succeed General Bell as chief of stan of the army on April E. was deeply shocked today when informed of the accident at Wash fngton.
 It Is probable that General Wood in the event of General Bell being incapaci- tated. will come to Washington imme- diately and assume administration of the army.
 Major Slocum, whose wife was killed. is a brother of Maj. stephen l.. H. Slo- cum, United States military attache at St Petersburg, and a nephew of Mrs Russell Sage Their father. Mrs. Sage brother, is administrator of the Russell Sage estate.
 Mrs. Herbert Slocum went to Wash ington only few days ago to visit Gen. eral Bell and his family" said General Wood today. "She took her two little sons with her She was a Miss Brandreth of the New York family. The entire army will regret her death. She was one of the finest and most lovable women I ever knew, and she enjoyed the ee- teem of all. I will send Major Slocum to Washington immediately"

Chauffeur Is Unhurt

Chauffeur Ward was unhurt. Together with the motorman and conductor of the trolley car, Ward was arrested.
 According to Ward, General Bell ordered him to turn Into Garfield street. Little time was available for making the turn, and the chauffeur steered his machine across the tracks without glancing back to see if any car was approaching. When the machine was about two-thirds across the first track a southbound suburban car struck it.
 The automobile was hurled about five feet against a trolley pole and then turned over General Bell was thrown out. Ward was pinned under the front of the car, but managed to extricate himself Mrs Slocum was crushed under the body of the car
 Bleeding about the hands and head Gen. eral Bell directed the passengers on the car: and others in lifting the automobile from the injured woman.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Pensacola People Know How
To Cave If

Many Pensacola people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are respon
sible for a vast amount of suffering
and ill health, but there is no need to
suffer or remain in danger when all
diseases and aches and pains due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and per-
manently cured by the use of Doan, s
Kidney Pills. Here is a Pensacola
citizens recommendation.
]. T. Carter, 132 IL Intendencia
street, Pensacola, Fla, says: Be
ing on my feet the greater part of the
time, l believe was the cause of my
kidney trouble. There was always a
dull pain in my back and limbs, often
so severe as to keep me awake at
night. My kidneys were disordered,
as was shown by the unnatural ap-
pearance of the kidney secretions and
whenever l caught cold, | was worse.
II finally procured a box of Doan 8
Kidney Pills from the Crystal Phar-
macy and after taking Few doses
noticed a decided change for the bet
ter | continued their use for short
time and all signs of my trouble dis
appeared. / am grateful to Doan's

INCREASE IN
RIVER TRAFFIC
NEW STEAMER, "GENEVA," WHICH
Is BEING BUILT HERE, WILL
GIVE PENSACOLA WHOLE
sALERS MORE TERRITORY TO
SUPPLY.

Operated by the Geneva Transporta-
ton Company, the new steamer,
Geneva" now being finished at Bay
len wharf, will ply between Freeport,
Fla, and Geneva, Ala, connecting at
Freeport with the steamer Capt. Fritz,
which now makes two trips per week
to Pensacola for merchandise for the
ChoctaWhatchie bay country. The
steamer is to be ready by the middle
of February and will be placed in the
new river service Immediately.
The Geneva" is 1856 feet long, and
is to be fitted with a stern paddle
wheel. 1t is only "A feet in depth,
making it peculiarly fitted for the
river service. The through freight
will be handled from Pensacola to
Freeport aboard the steamer Capt.
Fritz, and thence to Geneva by the
new boat, thus giving a new territory
to Pensacola wholesalers, although
some business is now done in that
part of Alabama by local houses.
Capt. Rogers, who now operates the
Capt. Fritz personally, is the owner of
the new boat, and the originator of the
new service. It's success is assured,
for the project has been looked over
Soi C1uily tuC Aciu 10 Inviting lol
such service. In the past steamers
have been operated on the river named
between Geneva and Caryville, making
connections at the latter place with
the railroad line, and thus delivering
to Caryville many thousand bales of
cotton during the year. AS the two
boats of Capt. Rogers are to be op-
Grated together, the chances-are that
Pensacola will get the cotton that has
been left at Caryv1lle for further ship
ment via the P. & A. railroad. All
this has been worked out before the
hull of the Geneva was started. The
hull as stated previous in The Jour-
nal, was built at Freeport and was
towed here to be completed. The
house is being built rapidly now, ana
the crank shaft for the wheel was
| finished at a local machine shop yes
terday, for early delivery.

1. Evidence that a passenger was
injured by the sudden starting of an
electric car, while alighting with
others who were frightened by flashes
of electricity, and that such flashes
were caused by the carlessness or in
experience of the motorman, makes a
question for the jury.
2. When it is in evidence that the
notorman was new at the business
and may have used the brake improD
erly, whereby the injury was caused
the railway company has not made it
appear that it used even ordinary
care and caution.
3. An instruction that the burden
of proof is upon the plaintiff to show
that the cause of the accident was
due to the negligence of defendant
and if you are not satisfied by a pre-.
ponderance of evidence that the plain
tiffs injury was the result of the de
PENDANT or it's employees, you will find
for the defendant is properly re
fused when the plaintiff was injured
by the operation of an electric car
