Bracey and Mrs. Sarah Bracey injured. As a result of a collision yesterday noon between a private car, driven by 'H. O. Bracey, and a jitney, operated by George E. Bennett, at the intersec tion of Broadway and Glisan streets, .Mrs. S. R. Bracey. 64. lies at her home. 207 East Sixth street. North, with a fractured collarbone and a badly bruised - leg. The private car was a total wreck. Iwhile the jitney was damaged badly. - That the jitney was racing with an other jitney at the time of the acci dent was affirmed last night by M. A. Smith, of the county tax department, .who was one of the passengers in the jitney. Mr. Smith said that the two Jitneys had been racing for some time and that the driver of the machine in which he was riding said to the pas sengers, in referring to the other Jitney driver: "I'm going to show him up." Just before the collision occurred. He said that the jitney was traveling at high speed. The seven passengers in the jitney in some miraculous manner escaped seri ous injury. According to H. O. Tracey. who was driving the private car con taining his mother, he was headed north on Broadway with the intention ef crossing the Broadway bridge and was compelled to turn at Glisan street to avoid hitting a machine traveling west. In doing this he encountered the jitney, traveling south on Broad way, the impact sending his machine SO .feet and causing Mrs. Bracey to be thrown from the machine, from which she received painful injuries. Jitney Said to Be Speeding:. Just previous to the accident, Li. Thompson, special officer of the Port land Automobile Club, said that he was trying to run down the jitney, which, he says, was traveling at a peed close to 40 miles and hour. His efforts were in vain, but he arrived at the scene of the accident in time to file a complaint against Bennett for reckless driving. Bennett was ar rested and later released on his own recognizance. Motorcycle Officer Shaffer was within one block when the smashup took place and says fhat the Jitney was traveling. at a greater speed than is allowed over the Intersection of Broad way and Glisan streets. 'I was taking my mother home at the time of the accident and was traveling at a low speed when I neared the intersection of Broadway and Gli san street." said H. O. Bracey yester daly. in discussing the collision. "I noticed an automobile traveling west on Glisan street at a terrific speed and in order to avoid hitting him I turned west only to be struck by the Jitney traveling south on Broadway. Water Fountain Demolished. "The car that struck me was going at least 40 miles an hour. I could not have been going at any great apeed. Making a sudden turn there and to be struck and sent 60 feet clearly shows that the other car was traveling at a fast speed. That no one was killed is a wonder to me." After striking the private car the Jitney crashed into a telephone pole, but not until it had demolished a Ben ion water fountain, located directly in front of the pole. The following passengers who were riding in the jitney when the accident occurred: M. A. Smith, county tax department: Frank Powers. S00 Min nesota street: A. Basler, 637 Maiden avenue; Charles Morrison, tfl Mis souri avenue; I.. D. Ledwidgo, 126 Second street: Carl Sharer. 331 East Twelfth street, and A. K. Thuler. 810 Sixty-second avente. southeast.

FIGHTERS READY ALWAYS Electric Alarms, Horses, Motorcy cles and Otlier Equipment to Be Parts of Department to Guard 1,000,000 Acres. fitp.kvr fir Murch 18. (Special.) i nw vstm of forest fire prevention, patterned after modern city fire de partment, is to be used in tne Wnrst this season by Clyde R. Seitz. supervisor, who has out lined it. It will be placed in opera tion aoout jiay i. vatip motorcvcles i k ... i . K nn.tanMT OrCDlLred ana iiuraca, " li . . . packs ready for a moment's departure and equipped witn ruiiuun days, and also sman iarto vu.u,a, shovels and sacks form part of the new fire department that will cover an area of 1.000.000 acres of timber In Eastern Lane County. The system is made possible by the completion of the network of trails and telephone wires, which have been under construction for four years. Five fire stations will be estab lished, so arranged that virtually any point in the forest wiil be accessible in two or three hours, according to Mr. Seitx. These stations will be located as follows: No. 1. at Paradise Station, covering the head of the McKenzie; No 2, in Big Fall Creek; No. 3. cover ing Box Creek Canyon and Waldo Lake; No. 4. on Salt Creek and Haael Dell; No. S. covering the Kigdon ranch and the summit lakes. The men at the ranger station will be termed forest firemen and will be distinguished from the guards. At each station there will be approximate ly three guards and two forest fire men. The big difference between the new svstem and the old one is that the guards this year will be kept close to the ranger station instead of scattered out over the forest. The real fighting forces, however, will be the trail and phone con struction crews. Each crew is a force of eight men with a superintend ent. Wherever they go in the forest they will be within hearing distance of a large electric gong. They also will be equipped with emergency packs, ready to throw on the horses at a mo ment's notice. It is probable that three of these construction crews will be kept within the forest all Summer. The detecting will be done by ten lookouts, each connected with the telephone svstem, and each so arranged . - r. tn Iha fnmt Will be under the eye of a lookout at all times of the day ana nieni. One motorcycle will be used on the McKenzie highway by a road patrol- ABILITY TO DO MORE IS PREDICTED FOR MERGER Nathan Strauss Declares That Overlapping of Efforts Will Be Eliminated and That Business Men Will Be Able to Devote More Time to Support TALKS OS CONSOLIDATION, NO. 24 NATHAN STRAUSS, of the firm of Fleischner, Mayer & Co., who has Just returned from a business trip to New York City, when consulted as to his opinion of the consolidation" movement for the New Portland Cham ber of Commerce, said: "Having been absent from Portland for about six weeks. I am not entirely familiar with all the details of the consolidation plans, but from what I have learned of it since my return Wednesday. I am heartily in favor of ll- ... "Since taking up my residence in Portland more than two years ago I have considered that we have too many so-called clubs or commercial organ izations, each one in its own way en deavoring to do good work, but over lapping one another in their various activities. Through the lack of neces sary financial support they were un able to accomplish results which could be brought about by well directed con certed effort. "Most business men are willing and anxious to devote a portion of their time to matters that will benefit the city. But as the time they can spare for this work necessarily is limited, it will be a great relief to be released from working on the numerous com mittees in the various organizations, and to be able to devote what time and energy they can spart from their bui. ness in some united and well-directed work. "As an evidence of my faith in con solidation I would refer to the forma tion during the past year of the Ore gon Industrial League, composed of representatives of all of Portland's various clubs and commercial organ mart. whose sole duty Is to cover that road. Mr. Seitz announced today, that the $10,000 apportionment, of the 870,000 appropriation for the construction of this highway will not become avail able until the middle of the Summer. Construction on an extensive plan, which was expected to begin early this Spring, must wait until August, be cause of the confusion arising from the transfer of the work to the of fice of public roads, which will have charge of this construction. LIBEL SUIT- THREATENED Prosecuting Attorney Resents Trend of Ashland Editorial. MEDFORD. Or., March 18. (Special.) An editorial in the Ashland Tidings criticising Prosecuting Attorney Kelly for his management of the Loris Mar tin trial has caused quite a sensation in local legal circles and the Prosecut ing Attorney has threatened to bring the editor of the Ashjand paper before the grand Jury, maintaining the article is libelous. The Ashland editor takes Editor George Putnam, of the Medford Mail Tribune, to task for blaming the judge, the defendant's attorney and the jury for the acquittal of Martin when the real fault lay with the Prosecuting Attornery. The Martin trial has caused a bitter controversy in Southern Oregon. Edi tor Greer is inclined to regard the threat of libel action as a Joke and de clares the editorial in question was in no sense malicious, but merely a criti cism of a contemporary editor based upon the facts of the case.
