swerved in making a turn at 18th
and Pennsylvania avenue, near the
bridge. and crashed into a tree on the

were thrown Oft the truck, three of
whom receiving light bruises and skin
abrasions. They were Lieut. c. A.

Chrisman received the most serious

treated. None of the other men re-
ceived treatment An ambulance
from Casualty Hospital responded,
but arrived after Chrisman had been
taken home in Fire Chief Watson's
machine. The truck was not badly
damaged.
Two theories are advanced by the
police and witnesses OF the accident
One Is that the driver lost control
when the fire truck hit the tracks of
the street car line. which caused him
to swerve into the tree. The other
theory is that street car failed to
stop in time. which caused the driver
of the truck to turn sharply to the
left to avoid collision. Both theories
are being investigated by the police
and fire department. The motorman
on the street car was j. w. Graham.
