CRUSHES AUTO
AT ORANGE AVE.

George V. Lawrence, local sales
man for the Valley Lumber Company,
was killed, and j. K. Palmer, car
penter and contractor, was seriously
injured, this afternoon about 2
o'clock when the automobile III which
they were riding was StrucA by
Southern Pacific local freight tram
No. 515, at Orange avenue.
Although the train was reported
to have been g0inG at very low
rate OF speed, the car W@s dragged
a distance OF about 100 Teet, ire
length Of six freight cars, while the
vlcllms were thrown to the ground
about midway this distance.
A hasty and superficial examina-
ton made of the bcdy at the hospl-
tai by Coroner f. W. Peterson lndi-
Gated that Mr.. Lawrence met his
death from concussion of the brain.
Aside from the head which was par
TALLY crushed, the body bore few
other injuries which could be regard
ed as serious
DR.. John l.. Parker, who attended
Mr. Palmer, stated that his patient
was not seriously injured and that
there was every chance CT his rapio
recovery. Mr.. Palmer has lived here
for some time and is well known
contractor.
Nh. Lawrence, who was 30 years
of age, relsrided on Hamilton avenue.
He lived for about half an hour after
the accident, passing away at the
hospital Just as physicians who had
been summoned, made their appear

At the hour of going to press, the
stcry of the accident, as told by wit

Messrs. Lawrence and Palmer, with
tie former at the wheel
of a Ford roadster, We're eastbound on
Orange avenue, while the engine was
attached to the rear Of a string OF

Apparently the automobilists did
not observe the train until it was
almost on top of them Accompanied
by a crash that could be heard a
block away, the collision came. The
automobile was practically demoi-

an enthusiastic meeting OF the Cham

Of
VICE IN CITY.
Marshal and Other Officials
of The City Declare That
Charges Are unfOunded
and Unfair.

After stormy session, in which
personalities, politics and other IN
teresting questions cropped out, way
or George Watkins last night failed
to convince the city council and other
municipal officials that El Centro
was vice-ridden and that the police
depar tment had failed in its function
of handling the situation.
While the mayor had called the
heads of various city departments to-
gether for the purpose of outlining a
concerted campaign to rid the city OF
alleged undesirables, the real storm
was precipitated by an interview
which he gave to Tie Press yester-
day in the presence of witnesses.
The result was that the meeting
soon got out of hand. The mayor
evidently sought to sidestep his
charger of earlier in the day, but
was finally forced from cover by
the oues4 IONS rropounded to him.
Then he went the limit and not on y
repeated the charges contained in
TIE Press interview, but made other
startling declarations.
The results of the meeting We're
nil, other than showing that every
one of the cases which the mayor had
insisted were LIQUOR, gaming or social
evil violations had been investigated
by the police, but not sufficient evil
dence was found to convict.
Marshal Tonev insisted on being
heard, although the mayor sought to
secure an adjournment. Mr.. Toney
declared his force to be inadequate
i'm size and said that the mayors par
simonious policy allowed the polio
ing of the city a force just half the
size of that which other cities the
size of Ell Centre consider necessary.
He declared that his record for
arrests and convictions during his IN
cumbency of three months had not
been duplicated by any other marshal.
He expressed himself as willing to
cooperate with the mayor in any
way to rid the city of vice.
Other officials then took the floor
and stated that they were just as
anxious as the mayer to have the city
clean The mayor countered with the
statement that he could make the
complaints immediately and his hand
was called by Recorder Whitelaw.
The mayor then admitted he did not
fave evidence.
The mayor then announced his de-
sire to hire plain-clothes man:
Marshal Tonev stated that he had
made every effort to get a man, but
had failed, while the recorder stated
that juries will but rarely convict in
cases where hired detectives gather
the evidence, believing them stool
PIGEONS and untrustworlhy
The meeting closed with the mayor
standing pat and the remainder OF
his official audience still unconvinced
that the city was vice-ridden
