PASSENGERS HURT
WHEN CARS CRASH
Four Persons Slightly Injured in
Accident on East First
Street
WOMEN THROWN INTO PANIC
Many Have Narrow Escape in a
Collision That Is Not
Explained
WOMEN THROWN INTO PANIC

As the result of a collision of an
eastbound East First street electric
car with a Temple street car at the
switch on East First between Los
Angeles and San Pedro streets last
night, four persons were injured and
the Vestibules of both cars shattered.
The most seriously injured was
Peter Spehar. an aqueduct laborer
living at the Plaza hotel, who suffered
a deep three-inch cut Of the fore
head. He was treated at the receiV-
ing hospital.
Lillian Hamilton, 9531a South Fig
ueroa street, suffered from shock, and
one foot was severely wrenched. A.
b. Neal of Riverside was cut by fly
ing glass and e. A. Ritcher, superin-
tendent of the LlewellYn Iron works,
living at f243 West Sixth street, suf-
fered a severe laceration of the right
hand from broken glass.
All the injured, with the exception
Of Spehar. were treated at a drug
store near the scene of the accident
and were able to go to their homes.
The accident occurred at the terminal
of the Temple street car line, where
the cars switch to make the return
trip west. The car, in charge of Con-
ductor H. T. Best and Motorman A.
f. James, had crossed the switch and
fender preparing to start back, when
the East First street car in charge of
Conductor l.. G. Morton and Motorman
II. Stevenson bore down upon him.
Conductor Best jumped just in time
to prevent himself being crushed be-
tween the cars. The East First street
car struck the standing Temple street
car with an awful crash. There were
no passengers on the latter car, but
the East First street car was crowded
and the passengers were tossed in all
directions.
Great confusion reigned for several
minutes, and it was thought at first
that score had been injured. Inves-
tigaton showed that most of the con
fusion came from the women paSsen-
gers who were seized with attacks OF
hystera.
Spehar was standing in the front
vestibule of the East First street car
and was hurled against the other car
his head striking the iron coupling.
The others injured were cut by fly
ing glass; except Miss Hamilton, whose
foot was caught between two seats.
No explanation of the accident was
given by the car crews, but Spehar
stated the East First street car was
going at a fast rate and the Temple
street car crew was not to blame for
the collision.

Mr. Hubbard deplored the fact that there

that time will come when some city or
some municipality, realizing the potency
that lies in the stage for good or bad sug-

Match Race Between Vanderbilt
Winner and Champ Arranged.
De Palma Seeks Chance

The terrific. speed looked for in the
match race between Barney Oldheld
and Ralph de Palma will not be lost
by the motordrome crowds, although
De Palma is out of it through inability
to get his 190-horsepower Fiat in shape
to make showing against the "Blit-
zen" Benz. Instead, George Robertson.
the Vanderbilt cup winner. will have
a chance to pit his special Simplex
against the Benz.
Oldfield will not be disappointed in
the chance for championship race,
for Robertson's reckless. daredevil,
whirlwind driving will be shown at its
best and to retain his title Oldfeld Will
be compelled to let the monster Benz
out as he has not yet driven on the
motordrome track. Robertson, who has
been keen for the opportunity, says he
will drive to the limit of his cars
power While not up to horsepower
with the Benz the Simplex has an ad-
vantage in lightness, which means
less tire trouble.
The Oldfeld- Robertson match will be
run in two heats, Saturday and Sun
day afternoons. and the third heat, il
necessary, will be driven Sunday.
Each heat will be five miles, and the
dope is that the five miles will be
made in better time than 3 minutes II
seconds.
Ralph de Palma is still on deck.
Though his big 1870 Fiat is so thorough
ly disabled as not to race Oldfield in
his big Lightning Benz yet De
Palma will not disappoint the Los
Angeles public, which has been count
ing so much on this match race. So
confident is De Palma that he can beat
Oldheld and his big car with car of
but half it's horsepower that he is
willing to post $1,000 forfeit to bring
the contest about.
Todays program at the motOrdrome
is full of sharp, snappy racing, which
will give the crowds excitement from
beginning to end. The big drivers
come together. while the handicap
races will offer chances for the small
cars to show clever racing.
