A street car collision In which a conductor
and . passengers were injured and the
cars badly damaged occurred last even

Hickory street and Shirley avenue. At
that point the tracks converge to a single 1

and the two cars came together Just at
the switch. The closed car had cleared
the switch snd Just at that moment the
brakes of the summer car proved refrac
tory and the cars collided with tremendous
force. The Impact nearly tore the entire
bed and top from the summer car and
crushed In all the windows of the closed
car. The summer .car waa derailed and
tumbled partly over and the passengers
were practically Imprisoned by the wreck.
Conductor Hsrry Steight wss at the far

WITHNELL READY TO GO ON
Deellaes to Tie I'p City Work tor
Persoaal Political Par
poses.
Building Inspector Withnell, who ex.
officio I. one of the three members of the
Board of Public Works, announced yes
terday that he would make no effort to
Interfere with the .appointment of employes
made by the late board and confirmed by
the council While Comptroller Lobeck, the
second democratic member of the board,
refused to talk,, It is understood that he hag
receded . from the reported plan either to
block public work or control tha patronage.
' Inspector Withnell said: "I am not dis
posed to complicate matters by insisting
upon a new list of employes, and I am not
willing to tie up the work of the depart
ment In the effort to have them confirmed
by the council. So far as the legal phase,
of the question are concerned, I know noth
ing about them. I have looked over the
list of employe, appointed and eon firmed
and find that the men are capable and
efficient, and that a number of them are
democrats.
"Further than this, I wish It understood
that I desire to work In harmony with
Mayor Moore, and the whole administra
tion, and to act In such a way as to best
serve the city. As to the assistant building
Inspector, 1 would, like to have a man of
my own selection, as I will be held respon
sible for his performance."
This positive statement haa cleared away
tha clouds that were threatening to spill
a storm over the public works department,
as Withnell with City Engineer Rosewater
will constitute a majority of the board,
thereby defeating any disturbing po'.lcy
which Comptroller Lobeck might Inaugu
rata.
The Board of Public Work, had a quiet
and brief session yesterday. Comptrol
ler 'Lobeck 'suggested that the May pay
roll, amounting to $3,358, be referred to the
city attorney for an opinion as to whether
payment should be made, as the man had
worked without councllmanlo confirmation

Right at the outset let there be regis
tered a protest agalnat the taste of the
authoress In choosing London as the. seen,
of her very successful play. Incident, such
a. the one on which It. action are based
are not uncommon In any clime; people
quite a. .mart a. any she presents might
be found on this side; men as wesk as
Arnold Wlnnlfrlth have been found by
other authors In New Tork (note the In
stance of Nick Van Alstyne and hi. singu
larly suggestive prototype, both In name
and Character. Dick Van Buren); and more
potent than any other reason, Mr. Good
win would not have been forced to parade
his unquestionable Americanism, aa the
utterance, of an Englishman. Otherwise
the play well merits the attention thst ha.
been given it. It is an old theme, but Is
handled with much tact and In a manner
decidedly original. Other authors have
found It ronvenlegt to remove by death or
some other means equally as effective the
main offender before relieving his scape
goat of the charge, but Mis. Ryley boldly
sends the offended wife and the offending
husband out to face their wrecked honey
moon and to mak an endeavor by patience
to patch up their love again. This might
not have been possible If the disclosures
had come after a few years of wedded
bliss. In other ways the theme Is handled
with equal daring and with an adroitness
that Is quite an acceptable substitute for
the efforts commonly made to excuse or
Justify the conduct of one or the other of
the guilty ones. In this Instance the man
simply admits that h. is tired of his play
thing and the girl accepts the condition
as a matter of course and goes out Into
the world to look up a situation. The
dialogue sparkles In spots, with no ap
pearance of an effort at epigrams and no
approach to homilies on any topic. It Is
mildly satirical at times, but not enough
to give any flavor of acerbity to Its smooth
flow of all but unrestrained humor. In a
word. It Is quite what might happen In
real life.
Mr. Goodwin takes the part of a brother
who temporarily allows himself to become
the victim of a mistake to shield his sis
ter's hspplness, snd who promptly rebels
when his own happiness comes Into the
play. His main departure from the Good
win we have known In other plays Is In the
fact that he Is quieter, mora subdued. In
his methods. He doesn't make any noise.
Isn't boisterous at any time, and still gives
to the quiet ending of the acts a strength
that Is really Impressive. And he absolutely
refuse, to be serious, even when the action
of the play would not suffer by an exhibi
tion of sobriety of conduct.
Miss Tlllbury. who Is supporting Mr.
Goodwin on hi. present tour. Is decidedly
clever. Her part Is a small one, but out
of It she makes a good deal and show.
evidence of ability that would easily take
care of a much more exacting role than
her present one. Miss Dean Is a charming
Ingenue, and acquits herself with credit. If
anything Is to be said of Miss Irwin's pres
entation of the part of ' the girl who Is
toyed with and cast aside, it must be that
she accept, the fate with a stolidity that
seem, hardly natural. Fred Tlden gives
to the part of a ead a degree too much ot
caddlshness. A little show of spirit at
time, would relieve the situation, and prob
ably mora nearly realise what the authoress
had In mind. Other members of the cast
have been selected with care, and the com
pany as a whole Is well qualified to sup
port the star. The staging Is adequate,
artistic And beautiful In ensemble and de
tail, too.
The Boyd theater wss very well filled
last night with a fashionable audience and
one that generously expressed Its apprecia
tion of the play and the players. "The
Altar of Friendship" will be gltien at a mat
inee and evening performance today.

Have you dandruff? Then you have
contagious parasite disease, unpleasant, un
healthy and one that will eventually lead
to baldness. To cure It you- must destroy
the parasite that eats at the root of the
hair. The only preparation for destroying
these germs Is Newbro's Herplclde. Charles
Klein of Laramie, Wyo., says: "Herplclde
allayed the Itching, cured the dandruff
and atopped my hair's falling out; and It
I. bringing a new crop of hair." Herplclde
I. free from grease or dangeroua druga,
and makes hair gloasy and soft ss silk.
One bottle will convince you of Its merits.

SMALL GRAIN LOOKS WELL
Bo Says Seaator Issstead of the Coaa
try la tbe Vlelalty of
Fallertea.
"The rains have given corn a serious set
back, but have helped amall grain," aald
Senator Umatead of Fullerton, who Is In
the city on business. "Som. corn will hav.
to be replanted, but unles. the rains con
tinue ss bad as they have been .1 don't
look for much replanting. A great deal of
corn that otherwise would have been planted
ta not yet in the ground because of thla un
usual wet season snd that already In Is, of
course, retarded. However, the old saying
Is that a late spring brings a late fall, ao
we are not worrying yet over the con
ditions. Small grain looks well and if we
start In to worrying over the corn we
might juat as well rejoice over the small
grsla."
