The latter car then ttruek Mount Tabor car No. 656 at .Morrison street. All three cars plied up at the Morrison-street intersection. The platforms were crumpled to bits and shattered glass lay all over the pavement. The rear trucks of car No. 639, which served as a buffer between the other two, were picked up bodily by the front platform of i.he runaway car and the entire end was lifted high in the air. Two I -cap to Safety, The runaway, that caused all the trouble, started to coast when the crew. Conductor Sam Kamsey and Motorman J. C. Allen, left it temporarily at the end of the line. It is thought the air brakes may have leaked, although Mo torman Allen said last night he might not have applied the brakes when he stepped off as tightly as he should, al though he believed he had them on full force. The only passengers injured were those on the middle car, southbound .Sunnyside No. 659. This was crushed at both ends and was- th9 most badly wrecked of all.

A. Wholln, a passenger, attemptei to reach the rear platform and set the brakes, but he was un succesiif ul. I Miss Ellery attributed her escape from death to the act of Mrs. 'Wolbers, who. after the first shock, pulled her to the floor of the car and wreckage Horn the smashed vestibules passed over them. They were able to crawl out of the mass of splinters and glass unaided. Middle Car Saves Buildings. H. Hanno was pulled from the wreck age by Dave Soluman, who was stand ing in a cigar store at Morrison and Ehveiuii streets. Mr. Soloman heard the crash at Taylor street and ran out into the, street in time to see the cars coming and was an eye .witness to the manner in which the middle car cat apulted into the Mount Tabor car, de molishing one end and almost over turning it. Ha regarded it as fortu nate that the car was standing there to stop the other two. Other wise, he believed the cars would have smashed through the buildings on the north side of Morrison street. Car Bumped Twice. Hattie K. Kllery. who was- severely bruised, is a daughter of D. Ellery, 487 Terrace Heights. She was bruised about the head, and the left side of her face was slightly cut.

"Whun the cars crashed it sounded like a cannon shot, and I was just about recovered when I lonked up and saw the other runaway car coming down just about 100 feet .away. I started to turn, but saw the front end of the roof qf the car com ing down on us. "A young man who was standing bv me whom I did not know really saved ns both. Ho threw himself down on his kpees and then pulled me to the floor, too, so that when the second crash came we were thrown into the middle of the car and the greater part of the wreckage came over us. 1 don't know how 1 ever crawled out through all the glass and stuff that was piled on me. Everyone was so quick to help us and 1 don't think I am hurt much. It was the quickness and presence of mind of Henry Wolber that saved me." "We were already, to pull out," said Conductor A. K. Uooil. of Mount Tabor car R, which was standing on the fiding at Morrison and Eleventh streets, "when we saw the curs coming down the hill and as we couldn't get the car away in time lo prevent the collision, we jumped off and took out a couple Of passenger?." "I intended tp get off the car at Taylor street." said Mr. Wolbers, in telling his experiences, "and rang the bell to stop the car and started to ihe Tn" crash at the front end when the runaway hit us threw me down 1 thought to jump eff, but by then the inr was going too fast. J saw the other car ahead, and. realizing we were Ebout to strike it. I pulled Mis Kllery rtr ih seat md turned her back to the frcnt. My idea was to get her away trom the rear of the car before the run away hit us agaiq." l'ire Alarm l Sounded. Excitement was high in the vicinity of the wreck and someone pulled a fire alarm box.

OKUMA GIVES PRAISE United States Is Credited for Japan's Progress. FURTHER SUPPORT DESIRED Feudalism of Last Century Is Re called by Premier In Explain ing; Historical Significance of Mikado's Coronation. KIOTO, Nov. 10. "You ask me," said Premier Count Okuma to the corre spondent of the Associated Press, "you ask nie to explain the historical sig nificance of this coronation. First let me Bay that, although the actual cere monies of today differ in form from the inauguration of a President of the United States and the crowning of a European King or Emperor, the mean ing is the same that the Emperor of Japan by ascending the throne be comes the father of his people, whom he will protect and cherish. "It is now 60 years since the United States first knocked at the door of Japan, which slowly opened on its hinges creaking with the rust of cen turies, and Great Britain, Russia, France. Italy, Austria and ' Prussia, with outstretched hands, eagerly em braced us into the comity of nations. "How it chanced that a country given over to feudalism a system of government in which there was not even a shadow of liberty should be come in the short space of 60 years the seat of civilization and progress in the Orient and the object of marvel of the whole world. Is one of the most interesting problems for future his torians. Other Nation Get Credit. "But there are two plain facts which enabled Japan to attain the position which it is her good fortune to hold tor day. One o them is the unceasing ef fort made, in the early stages or our intercourse with tha Weetern powers, alike by the Government and the peo ple of the United States, to lead us in the path of civilization. The other is the illustrious virtues and the wise rue of the great Emperor Xeiji, who as cended the throne of Japan 12 years after the advent of Commodore Perry, and who, by a thorough knowledge of the talent of his advisers and of the temper of his people, brought this coun try from the position of a feudal state to that of a flrst-class power. "Whilst the loyal subjects of the great monarch were eagerly waiting for the time when they would be able to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his glorious reign, a great national catastrophe suddenly fell on the na tion and we were plunged into pro found grief by the demise of him whom we so much loved and revered. As soon as the one year's national mourn ing was over, the w'-ole nation had again to lament the loss of the Dowager-Empress who assisted her august husband in shaping the destinies of the empire. American Support la Aakrd. "Three years have thus elapsed since the present Emperor acceded to the imperial authority and therefore, al though Japan is taking part in the great turmoil, which is threatening to overturn Western civilization from its very foundation, the formal ceremonies of coronation were held today with the archaic solemnity handed down to us from time immemorial, which will reveal once more to the civilized world the Japan at whose door the United states knocked with such kind hands in the n.iddle of the past century. "We hava striven hard, and wo will ro on striving, to walk in the path of justice and peace. In our efforts In that direction, 1 hope and trust that we will get not only support but also the co-operation of the United States, the country whtcn first introduced us Into the comity of nations. "Hijs Majesty, the present Emperor, has the bright promise of being a ruler worthy of his illustrleus prede cessor. WiLh courage, diligence and wisdom be has succeeded in quieting the political disturbance which unfor tunately marked the commencement of his reign. His loyal subjects look with Joy upon this day when he ascended the throne as our father and protec tor." Army Vtiut Mules Run Away. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Nov. 18 (Spe cial.)

Barin, local aeroplane enthusiast, in the Ore gon Naval Militia, comes the proba bility that in a few months an aviation branch of the United States Navy will be located in this city. Mr. Barin will take the examinations for a certificate from, the Aero Club of America as soon as his machine is re paired, it having suffered damages In a recent flight.

As soon as Mr. Barin has success fully passed his examinations, say local Guard officials, an aviation section of the Oregon Naval Militia will be formed and Mr. Barin will no doubt be the first commissioned officer of such an or ganization. Trip to Vancouver Gretna Green Is "Fashionable." Clarke County Trnra Dislikes Kepu tatlon Attracting Aliens, bat I)e IlKhts In Happy Marrlases. VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 10 (Spe cial.) A new fashion, style or custom has been fully established in the Pacific Northwest among unmar ried men and women, and that is mak ing a trip to Vancouver to be married. There is a constant stream of bridal parties to Vancouver. While it is true that the Oregon law causes some to came here to evade its provisions, it is equally true that many would come here to be married just for a little, inexpensive honeymoon trip. A couple were coming down Main street yesterday from the Courthouse and they had just been married. When asked why they came to Vancouver, the newly made husband said: "Well, it js the fashion to come to Vancouver to be married, and we simply wanted to be in style." Vancouver is in another state to those who live in Oregon, and the idea of going into another state appeals to them. . Residents of Vancouver do not enjoy the reputation it has as an easy place for aliens to marry white women, but they are powerless to do anything and have tried to have the law changed.
