INTEREST IN
HALF HOLIDAY
IS GROWING
MERCHANTS IN FAVOR Of IT
Plan Will Likely Be Put Into
Effect Soon

Interest among the merchants Of
the city in the granting of a half hol-
iday each week about mid-week seems
to be very ssrong. The petition that
is being circulated is gaining in sig
natures very fast.
The petition states that the custom
Of giving employees a half-holiday
each week would be put in force from
July "a to August "a. This is in the
way of trial of the plan. If it meets
with success and approval, it will be
put in force next summer for a longer
time.
Secretary G. S. Gardner, OF the
Board of Trade, has interested himself
in the matter and is aiding in circulat-
ing the petition. He expressed the
belief yesterday that the plan will be
put into effect by the merchants this
summer and that it will become a per-
manent usage in mercantile circles
here.

WAS CAUSED BY
YOUTHS PLAYING
THEY give TRAIN SIGNAL
Which Sent Pacific Electric
Trains Together

Los Angeles, July 14.-To med
dlesome youths who played with the
train whistle is attributed the loss o.
twelve lives and the injury of some
200 persons here last night when two
Pacific electric trains collided, tele-
scoping two cars and wrecking an
other at Vineyard station, near the
city limits.
Three trains loaded with excursion
lists to the beach at Venice, Is miles
from Los Angeles, had stopped at a

mained at a standstill.

the last car of the center train, jumy-
ed to the track with his light to flas
the approaching train. Some youths
passengers say, pulled the whistle in
jest. This, it was said by railroad
men, was interpreted by the motor
man of the oncoming train as the
signal to go ahead.
With a crash of breaking glass,
splintering timbers and the cries OF
passengers, the motor car of the last
tratu drove into the rear of the CEN
ter train The motorman of the NOV
ing train had given full speed. A
curve had prevented his seeing the
standing cars.
The rear of the stationary train
was filled to capacity with crowded
passengers. The seats were shuffled
as a deck of cards by the impact,
Those who stood were crashed into
each other into the far end of the car,
The lights went out
Arthur Hill, sailor from the tor
pedo boat Paul Jones, carried out
eight bodies, including woman grip
ping and infants body in her arms.
Few of the Christian Endeavorites
were on the trains. The headquar-
ters of the Toronto delegation of 12J
announced that none of the Canadian
visitors were in the wreck Practi-
cally all of those killed and injured
were residents of Los Angeles.

j. NJ. Crouch went this morning to
arrest ]. w. Brown on thee barge Of
violating the prohibition law they were
met with a fusilade of buckshot from
a doublebarreled shotgun in the hands
of Brown, who resisted arrest. The
buckshot went wild, however, and be-
fore Brown could get his gun into
action again he had been pumped in
the abdomen and winged by the police
men, neither of whom was hurt.
Brown was resting we'll tonight in
spite of the wound in the abdomen
and shoulder. 1t was the opinion Of
physicians, expressed at a late hours
tonight that Brown would recover,
unless complications set in. His cou-
dition had grown no worse during
the day after he had been shot, AMI
the opinion of the physicians is that
the wounds are not necessarily fatal.
Each of the policemen shot Brown.
according to the reports current hera-
tonight, having used their pistols to
good effect after Brown had shot will
at them and had failed to stop them.
The cause of the trouble is given az
the effort to prosecute Brown for vio-
lation of the prohibition law. For
some time efforts have been made tn
make out clear charges against him.
as it had been recognized here that he
was selling whiskey. When the first
efforts were made to make out charges
against Brown, he is said to have op-
emily made threats against the life Of
Mayor FRANK McNulty. Brown is re-
ported to have said that he wouI1
shoot McNulty on sight Then Mayor
McNulty had a warrant for his ar
rest made out, and the chief of police
and a policeman went out to arrest
Brown, who resisted them in the man
ner stated, having been armed anil
ready for the officers of the law. The
wounded man is not related to Chief
of Police Brown, though both men
bear the same name.
Mayor McNulty is a brother of Mr..
R. E. McNulty, of Americus.

TELEPHONE POST

F, R, BprSOn Had Narrow ES-
cape from Death

SnIintered remains Of large tele>
Dbone post, which was cut down ana
demolished by a speedy two-passen-
GER roadster with E. r. Berson, "f
Camilla. at the wheel yesterday morn
ing early, are the mute reminders of
what came very near being a serious
accident that happened eight mil IS
out on the Andersonville road at the
Calvin Carter place.
Mr.. Berson, who is a life insurance
agent, was making a speedy run down
from Macon to his home when he sud
denly saw ahead OF him the sharp turn
at the Carter place. On the outside
curve of the road was the telephone
post Just close enough to the roadto
make dangerous accident possible
Mr. Berson tried to take the curve at
high speed The front wheels of the
machine got safely by the post, bat
then the car struck full on its side
against the pole, demolishing it and
throwing the driver high into the air.
1t was almost by a miracle that M
Berson escaped death. If the front of
the ca. lad struck the post Mr. Ber-
son would undoubtedly have been kill
ed The fact that the car struck side
ways saved him from the terrific i'm
pact that reduced the telephone post
literally to kindling and demolished
the car The fact that the front pact
of the car did not strike the post saved
Mr. Berson from being severely cut
by the glass windshield, which was
by the impact thrown in such a man.
ner as just to miss his head. AS It
was, he was rather poinfully bruised
and scratched by the collision. Those
who saw the place where the accident
occurred, said that if Mr.. Berson haG
gone straight ahead, instead of trying
the curve, he would have escaped de-
molishing his car, as only a cotton
patch lay in that direction.
Within short time or the acc
ueht the battered car was towed into
'he city by DR.. J. R. Scully, who hap
pened to pass and who gave aid to the
oadly shaken up driver. Although the
Oody Of the car was badly smashed, the
other parts were left in fairly good
condition, so that the machine can
again be gotten into running shape
Mr. Berson continued his trip to Ca
mlIla on the train.
