Senator Willis, who formally enters

Bandits again have attacked motor

Rosenthal, an American citizen. the
authorities say that no foreigners

by an explosive bullet necessitated the

The attack occurred when about 10
bandits attempted to hold up the au,
tomobile in which DR.. de Ia Vega and
Cordoba were riding, along the high.
way midway between Mexico City and

The bandits demanded that the
chauffeur stop the car, but instead

who gave the decision upholding the

TROLLEY ESCAPES
PLUNGE into RIVER
Car on Highway Bridge
Jumps Rails, Crashing
Against Heavy Girder.

The lives Of a. score Of passengers
on a west-bound car of the Washing
ton Virginia Railway Co. were endan-
gered shortly after 8 O'Clock today
when the heavy car, moving slowly
across the Highway Bridge, split a
rail midway of the span, jumped the
tracks and brought up with a crash
against one Of the main bridge Orders,
ripping a six-foot hole in the top OF
the car and shaking up the passen.
gers. One of the smaller girders of
the bridge was buckled from the Inn
pact as the heavy car struck the main
girder and ricochetted against it.
Had the car not struck the pom
derous main girder, according to
statements made by some Of the pas
sengers, it might have jumped the
four.inch curb between the roadway
and the sidewalk, crashed through the
fragile guard rail and been precipi-
tated with It's human freight into the
Potomac River, IS feet below. John
w. Rich general superintendent of
the railway, denied that this could
have happened, claiming the car was
under complete control and could
have been stopped before 1t reached
the edge Of the bridge.
Traffic Tied Up Both Ways.
Traffic across the bridge was tied
UP both ways for more than a half
hour and scores Of passengers on
other cars bound for Washington
walked into the city through Potomac
Park to board other cars downtown.
Automobile traffic was unable to
move because the car lay almost
across the bridge, it's nose against
the girder on the south side and Its
rear end across the north tracks OF
the span. None Of the passengers
was hurt, although all those in the
car were shaken up. Shortly after
10 o'clock the car was back on the
rails moving toward the Ballston
shops Of the railway company for re
pair, while traffic again moved across
the bridge.
John A. Goodwin of Ballston, mo-
torman Of the car, is one of those who
believed Providence and the bridge
girder alone saved the car and its
passengers from crashing into the
river. Goodwin said in the presence
of scores Of people that he prayed
the car might strike the girder when
it left the rails. The passengers re-
NAMED in their seats and made no
outcry as the car left the rails and
threatened to plunge into the river.
No Auto Traffic at Time.
Many who saw the position of the
car declared it was fortunate that al
the time the car left the rails there
| was no automobile traffic or another
car coming east into Washington.
The accident was caused, according
| to Mr.. Rich, by broken rail, the
north or outside rail on the west
bound track. 1t was plainly broken
showing transverse fissure
inches long. From this point the
| tracks of the runaway car dug deeply
| into the asphalt paving across the
| bridge to the girder. Mr.. Rich sale
the cars move across the bridge at &
| speed of not more than miles
an hour and frequently less. Motor
man Goodwin said his car was moving
slowly when the rail broke. The cal
was bound for West Falls Church an(
