5 BADLY HURT IN
WRECK IN CAPE

G.. & n. Motor at Crossing
lnjuring Passengers

Five passengers we're seriously in
jurcd yesterday morning when Frisco
switch engine No. 3Gfl crashed into
the G. G. n y, motor at a crossing
in tn" south part of the city.
The tender of the engine struck
the front end of the motor car
with force sufficient to throw the
passengers from their seats and dis
lodge some heavy fixtures which fell
down among them
Engineer Ralph Burge was at the
throttle and Rem White had charge
Of the switching crew. The Frisco
employees attach all blame to the
motor car for not stopping at the
crossing.
Tom Gill was conductor of the
motor car and he states that he
saw nothing of the engine until it
was almost upon him and that in
spite of his efforts he was unable to
stop his car in time to avoid the
collision.
The following is list of the injured
Mrs. Frank Nogt Of this city, cut
about head and face; Mrs. Henry
Koch and son, bruised about head
and body; Mrs. Elizabeth McEndrcc
of this city, rib broken and internal
injuries; Miss Dcna Mcunckc Of
limo, shoulder wrcnchcd; Tom Gill;
arm and shoulder cut and bruised
The passengers were taken to the
{. G. n y. station and DIR. Roscn-
thai, the company surgeon was called.
Shortly after lis arrival Dr. II. L..
Cunningham, Il Frisco physician ar
rived On the scene, and it was agreed
between the two physicians that the
patients were Frisco charges and
should receive treatment from its
physicians. They were taken from
tie c. c. Il y. station in the city

DOG PRISONERS
BUSY in CAPE
Two Valuable Pets Found
Dead in Yard Yesterday
Others Killed

Two Valuable dogs were found dead
in Cape Girardcuu yesterday morning
as the result of u campaign being
made by poiSoncrs. Two others
died less than week ago, and all
in the same part of the city.
John Neal, Frisco freight agent,
who lives at S2l Williams street,
yesterday morning found his thorough
bred collie, which was the largest
specimen in the city, dead in the
back yard. 1t symptoms were con
elusive proof that it died of poison.
He reported the matter to the police
Mrs. Theodore Barley, who lives
at Good Hope and Pacific within II
few blocks of the Neal csidcncC, was
dumfoundcd when she opcnd the
door leading to the back porch,
The dog, which was bloodcd pointer
was dead, and the position in which
its body lay indicated that it had
died in great agony.
Both of these dogs were all right
Sunday evening, and the owners of
both are positive that either thieves
or people who dislike dogs poisoned
them.
Less than block from the Barley
residence a sausage, believed to
contain poison, was found. In it
was milk colored substance, which
is believed to have caused the death
Of the two pets,
A dog owned by Louis Franck,
who died several days ago, was found
II few days before Mr.. Fraack 5
death The dog which was thor
.oughbrcd, was valued highly by the
Franck family. A veterinary surgeon
was hastily summoned, and he gave
the dog an emergency treatment which
saved its life,
4 dog owned by ucighbors Of the
Francks was found dead in the rear
yard last week
The police have been asked to
make an investigator. Two theories
have been advanced by the owners #
dead pets One is that men, who
plan to rob these residences, have
killed the dogs in order to make
their work safe. Another is that the
poison was administered by people
who have hatred for CANNES.

Lawmakers Listen to Several
Hours of Speeches Then
Postpone Vote
TO DECIDE QUESTION
WEEK FROM MONDAY
Many Make Talks For and
Against Sunday Moving
Pictures

Mayor Rage and the City Council
last night listened to the Sunday
picture question discussed pro and
con, and when the speechmakers for
both sides concluded, postponed ac-
ton until the next regular meeting
which will be held one week from
next Monday night.
Six members of the body were
opposed to votngr on the matter
without giving it further thought.
1t is hardly likely Mayor Rage will
permit any discussions on the sub
iect at the next meeting, although
he did not make such an announce
ment. But as heset aside last night
for the purpose of listening to both
sides, it was stated by a member of
the council last night, that the coun-
cilmen would cast their votes with
out listening to further discussion.
Before hearing the discussions
last night, Mayor Rage requested
that both sides refrain from +he use
of expressions that would tend to
create feelings of bitterness be-
ween them, and that the argument
be carried on in business like man
ner.
After the cier; had finished a
long list of names of parties who
had signed the petition, opposing
the opening Of shows on Sunday,
the discussion was opened by Judge
II. T.. Alexander. He made "a
short talk in support Of the Sunday
opening, and presented to the Coun-
ell a resolution asking that a GER
tain section Of the ordinance relating
to picture shows be revoked.
Rev. Iven Lee Holt followed Judge
Alexander with a few remarks oppos
ing the proposed change in the ordi-
nance His statements were to the
effect that his interest was in be-
half of his fellow man and that his
opposition was not due to any fear
of temptations being placed in the
way of his own children, so much as
his feeling of solicitudc for other
peoples children.
He also stated that he, as well as
others opposing Sunday picture
shows, were not in favor of Sunday
chatuaquas and that when he put
up his ten dollars as a guarantee
to the chatauqua company he had
no idea that they intended t ogive
Sunday entertainment.
He said that he considered it his
duty to help remove harmful ten
denotes from his fellow men and re-
CARELESS of the accusation that he
was trying to attend to other pee
pies business, he proposed to keep
the good work up.
The talks made by Mrs. Martin
and Professor Dearmont were> of
the same trend as that of Rev.
Holt.
Attorneys Thos. F. Lane and T..
B. Oliver questioned the legality of
Sunday shows under the state laws
governing the Sunday operation of
business houses and the employ mont
of labor.
DR.. J. C. Vorbeck taIke dbriefly
in support of the Sunday oprring,
and the argument was closed by At
torney Edward Drum wha made an
able appeal to the board in behalf
of his elects who seek to have tho
ordinances revoked.

ArmgarGt, which was carried BY 4
Vote Of 6 to 2, the mate was defer
red for further actor until tho

DEFENDS COLOMBIA
S25,0OO,OOO AWARD
Bryan UphoIds Treaty, Assert
ing Loss of Panama Exceeds
Amount Allowed.

Declaring that the actual loss to
Colombia In the Panama canal separa-
ton matter was considerably more than
s5,ooo.ooo, Secretary OF State Bryan
has come out in defense OF the treaty
he negotiated with Colombia. which is
now being held up b. the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations
In the statement, the Secretary of
State makes a public plea in behalf of
the ratification OF the treaty.
Explaining Colombias interest in the
canal, Secretary Bryan says
Colombia feels that she has been az
grieved. and whatever may be said as
TO whether or not this feeling is tusti-
fed, no one will deny that she has
sustained great financial loss in the sep
aration Of Panama from her. Before
the separation took place this Govern
ment offered Colombia $4,000 900 for the
canal route and $3.50. 100 a year for 100
years. This annuity might be capital
lied at about S.500,O00, so that this Gov
ernments estimate OF the loss suffered
by Columbia could not be less than
about 81 10000. But that estimate was
made upon the supposition that CO.
lombia would retain the state or de-
partment of Panama
The retention of Panama would have
given TO Colombia not only the value
Of Panama. but the incidental bene-
fits to be derived from proximity to
the canal. We cannot deny, therefore,
that the actual loss to Colombia was
considerably more than s25. 10000.
