Il Waterman on Jackman 'sThriller,
a Coney Island roller coaster, was
forced to stare approaching death
i'll the face early today when a ear
came hurtling down upon him.
From his psoition, high up on the
trestled track, Lewis was thrown
to the street, dying instantly.
The aged watchman had climbed
up on the structure to make sure
sparks from nearby fire did
not ignite it. 1t was after mid
night and he felt confident the
coaster was closed for the night.
Perched at a, perilous height on the
sleider structure, unable to get off
the narrow track, he heard the hum

people, as helpless to avert the di-
saster as was Lewis. For second
Lewis watched the ear as it whir-
red down one of the breath-ta taking

the sum of $1,000 to put in shape

spirit of cooperation with the Yuma
Chamber OF Commerce, which last
week sent a delegation to this city
which advised a meeting of valley
business men that the sum Of $500
had been raised by the TUNA Cham
ber, to assist in putting the road in
good condition, also that two trucks
with drivers, and sprinkler, would
be placed in operation on the road.
At present this particular stretch
of road is full of chuck holes and
humps. and the work of smoothing it
out will be started Immediately. Dis
tribution of the money appropriate
ed by the supervisors, will be un-
der the supervision of c. F.. Stew

TO ASK $75O,OOO
FOR ADDITIONS TO
NAVAL HOSPITAL

SAN DIEGO, July 3.-Congress
will be asked to appropriate $3.50
600 next year for the construction
of additional buildings at the Bal
boa park naval hospital, according
to announcement of Rear Admiral
T.. II. Stitt, chief of the bureau of
medicine and surgery.
Admiral Stitt, one of the greatest
authorities on bacteriology and
tropical diseases, has just completed
comprehensive inspection Of the
i3olboa park hospital and the dis
pensaries at the naval air station
and naval training station.
Citing the fact that there are
only 22O0 beds in the three naval
hospitals on the Pacific coast com
pared with 5000 on the AtlantIc
seaboard, Admiral Stitt declared
that plans are being drawn up to
remedy this situation.
These plans include the expendi.
ture of $750,000 for additional
wards at San Diego, 100000 for a
fireproof administration building to
replace the wooden structure at the
Mare Island naval hospital, and the
enlargement of the hospital at the
BEemerton navy yard from 200
bed to lC00-bed institution.
