HELP FURNISHED VICTIMS Superintendent of Southern Pacific Declares. He Was Not Speeding at Time of Accident Other Car Is Held at Fault. L. R. Fields, superintendent of the Southern Pacific Company, who was in the automobile that was alleged to have crowded the machine driven by John Ruedy down an embankment on the Sandy Road last Tuesday, denies that the car in which he rode was to blame for the accident that cost the life of Ruedy and resulted In serious Injury to Mrs. David E. -Steele. The Ruedy automobile, Mr. Fields says, was at fault. In the Fields automobile were Mr. and Mrs. Fields, their son Arthur. 25 years of age, who was driving, and Frank Howell. The party had visited the home of Mrs. Dressell, an aged woman, formerly In the employ of Mrs. Fields. The account of what happened Is given by Mr. Fields as follows: "We had been at Mrs. Dressell's house 15 or 20 minutes, getting eggs and chickens. We started home be tween 3" and 3:30 P. M., but had gone only a short distance when the acci dent happened. Hon Not Blown, Says Fields. "The automobile was coming up from behind, on the left hand side, and the first that we saw or heard of it was when it was actually alongside. If we had heard them coming or had any Idea' whatever of the presence of an other car we would most certainly have gtven them the road. At the time we were right In the middle, going slowly. and there was no horn blown or any warning at all given by them. The road there Is being improved, in the middle, and I Imagine that the driver must have thought the side, which was covered with ferns, was hard ground.- He drove onto It and the wheel went down, causing the machine to topple over. "we immediately got out to render assistance, my wife looking after the women and we others after the men. Shortly afterward other autos came up. After we bad restored Mr. Ruedy so that he could talk, Mr. Howell and myself, with the assistance of others. helped to get him up to the road, and we put him In one of the automobiles. my son holding him In the seat, while the other party drove the car to the roadhouse. WHaeaaea Are Named. 'Mr. Howell took our machine, and In it drove Mrs. Ruedy and the two children to the olubhouse. "Then he came back with our ma chine and took Mrs. Fields and myself to the Automobile clubhouse. We re mained there about 40 minutes, during which time I talked to Dr. Whiting, told him it was our machine Mr. Ruedy had tried to pass, and made Inquiries as to whether there was anything I could do. ... 'J. H. Burgard, Felix Isherwood and j M. F. Brady were all there and I talked with all of them about the accident, while W, C Bristol, who came up In his machine just after the accident, can testify to the aid we rendered. "I make this statement to exonerate my wife and friends as well as myself. I am not a speeder." .

She Is suffering from severe bruises, oontuslons of the ribs on the left side, and also from shock. Mrs. Ruedy, her two children and D. E. Steele escaped with minor bruises. CHIKP GOES AFTER SPEEDERS S lover Issues Orders He Hopes Will Reduce Automobile Accidents. Stirred by the excessive number of automobile accidents occurring recent ly. Chief of Police Slover issued orders yesterday which, he hopes, will result In greater caution. Basis for the order Is found in tbe oft-repeated ruling of Municipal Judge Taswell that the speed limits formerly flxed by city ordinance are not obso lete. The court arrives at this view by construing the recent statute, which says that the rate of speed "shall be a reasonable speed, up to and not ex ceeding 25 miles an hour." It Is held that the court, under this wording, has discretion' to determine what is a rea sonable speed, and he has done so by fixing tentatively the limits at 10 miles In the fire limits and 15 In the city kt large. In this view, says the court, even four miles an hour might be held to be an unreasonable speed under some cir cumstances. Policemen and automobile drivers have held to the notion that the new statute legalizes speed up to 25 miles an hour in every case, and for this reason few speeders have been ar rested. To some extent the lack of regula tion has grown out of the lax enforce ment of the registration requirements. but within the past few weeks the police have been forcing the registra tion of automobiles that formerly went about the city without number!. v.vn Mr. Edison nronounces the recent achievements of wireless wonderful.
