CHECKS RUNAWAY
Horses Drawing. Belvedere But
Become Frightened and
Dash Wildly Down Grade.
DRIVER DROPS REINS
HEROINE SEIZES THEM
Nerved to Action and Given Strength
by the Danger of Her Young Son,
Mrs. G. H. Adams Stopa Team
Just on Verge of Precipice.
(Joornil Special Service.!
San Francisco, Oct. 9 - The horses
drawing the bus at Belvedere became
uncontrollable yesterday morning and
dashed down th steep path to the
ferry, threatening Instant death to 10
passenger huddled helplessly within.
They were saved from disaster by the
cool head and strong arm of Mrs. O.
H. Adams, who was a passenger on the
bus. Seeing that the driver hed loet
control of the frensled animals, she
reached over and taking the reins
brought them to a stop at the most
dangerous curve In the road.
The Belvedere bus runs between the
hill and the ferry and takes passengers
every morning to meet the t:IO o'clock
boat. Yesterday morning the bus was
loaded to Its full capacity and aire.
Adams was foroed to take a seat nest
vuw wiw otiv wua awviapanyina ner
small sen to the city with hie two bull
pupe to have a photograph taken.
The read leading from Belvedere to
the .ferry le extremely winding and dan
gerous, at places skirting the edge of
the bluff which overhangs the bay. The
horses, which were large and strong
for hill work, became frightened and
started to run. The driver braced him
self, bat the horses took the bits and
started down the steep hill. Inside the
bus the passengers were pale with
fright. Women blocked the front seat
and the men oould not get at the horses.
It wes Impossible to leap from the rear,
and to passengers fancied they saw the
wheels of the bus whisked over a steep
precipice in utter helplessness. At eny
moment a ellp would have dashed them
to certain death.
The driver struggled manfully, butt
the horses were too much for him and
he slowly weakened. Mrs. Adams, who
occupied the front seet, witnessed the
struggles of the driver with beating
heart. The feet thet her eon was
within nerved her arm. Ae the horses
neared the bend of the road where the
cliffs sheered off the arms of the
driver slowly weakened and the horsee
leaped forward. The bus seemed
doomed. Mrs. Adsms leaned Over,
grasped the relne and threw her full
force egalnjit ths lines. She le a power
ful women and the thought of the Im
pending catastrophe lent her strength.
With an almost superhuman effort she
drew the powerful horses back on their
haunches and the bus slowly came to a
etop just at the turn of the road. The
men quickly leaped from the vehicle
and secured the horses and Mrs. Adaae
collapsed after the severe etrsln. Shs
was greeted at the ferry with cheers.

BRYAN LESS RADICAL
THAN THE PRESIDENT
(Journal Special Berries.)
Topeke, Kan., Oct. W, J. Bryan
Is making a whirlwind campaign of
Kansas. In his speech at Fort Scott
yesterday he eeld:
"President Roosevelt has done a good
deal to convince the public that there le
something good in the Democratic plat
forms. He had the courage to take up
some of the reforms the Democrats ed
vooeted before hie party bad advocated
them."
On the subject of government owner
ship of the railroads, Mr. Bryan said
that several years ago the Democrats
and Populists were ridiculed for sug
gesting such a thing, and that he had
been denounced as dangerous because
he had mentioned it as a means of re
lief from the oppression of the rail
roads. "But now we find President Roose
velt dsrlng to hold as a club over the
railroads that Idea In terms more .rad
ical than I suggested."

" FROM MAKER TO PLAYER"
t Tuesday Afternoon.
An Announcement of
Much Importance to Believers
in the Schubert Piano
This Celebrated Piano to Be Sold by
the Reed-French Co. ( Sixth and Burn side )
Byorder of the Schubert people, prices on the three care now
here will be made extraordinarily attractive. . ... An average
of i per cent off usual prlose; this absorbs every vestige of
retail profit. The terms for payment are also made easy $7 to
910 a month.
Arrangements hsve just been made between the Schubert Piano Company and
Reed-French's Eastern office which call for the sale of three cars of Schubert Pianos
now held in the Portland freight depots.
This arrangement was brought about by reason of a change of agency for the
Schubert Piano in this territory.
In doing this work for the Schubert Piano Company, we do it with the under
standing that our plan of selling pianos will be observed -this plan is an open book
to everybody we won't sell -pianos any other way. Our plan is to the factory cost
add the freight and to these two items add a reasonable wareroom expense; this is
oar formula it means a hundred dollars or more saved every time a piano goes out.
The day of fancy prices on pianos is gone.
SCHUBERT PIANOS retail all over the world from four to five hundred and fifty
dollars, according to style and finish, and in a retail way they are worth every cent of it
Why No Prices Are Ouoted For the purpose of this sale we guarantee to save you
not Ifss than a hundred dollars and up to one hundred and sixty dollars on the retail
price of a Schubert Piano. We would gladly quote prices right here, but it would
hardly be fair to the future agent of the Schubert Piano in Portland.
How Yoa May Pay Any time this month you may pay us just enough to show
you mean business, and 'after that set aside a small monthly payment. We do not
want our terms to prevent you having a good piano. - -a

Think Executive Board Hasn't Right
to Dictate' Much Regarding Fire
Eacapes and Extinguishers and
Like Matters in Schoolhouses.
The city executive board the Irre
sistible force eeeme to have met an
Immovable body In the bos rd of educa
tion and the old problem may be solved.
It's all over the fire risks In the pub
lic schools.
Following a resolution adopted by
the executive board, the fire chief, fire
marshal and building inspector made an
Investigation of the public schools. The
theatres have also been Inspected and
the churches will have their turn.
In their report Messrs.. Campbell, Rob
erts snd Spencer suggested a number
of changes In moat of the schools. The
report was transmitted to the board .of
education by the auditor and read at the
meeting last evening.
Up went the hands of the directors
In horror at the presumption of the
executive board!
For each school there were such sug
gestions as removing old pelnt cans and
other rubbish from ths vicinity of the
furnaces, placing fire extinguishers In
the halls and providing better outlets
to the fire escapes. After reeding a
few of, the suggestions. H. S. Allen, the
clerk, stopped and smiled. A hush fell
upon the meeting.
Finally J. V. Beech, chairman, broke
the Ice. v
"A good deal of that la tomfoolery.
I think perhaps they are exercising more
authority than they have any right
well, to exercise."
I. N. Flelsehner had a copy of the
report. "Here's stand pipes." he cried,
looking at one Item. "And extinguish
ers. Why, those fellows will order one
make of extinguisher one week and an
other make the next week. Not much
use of extinguishers, anyhow, for I
asked one principal If he knew how to
operate them and he aald he had never
read the directions. Another prlnclpel
said he didn't know an extinguisher wae
In the building."
That Tire Bscape Blatter.
The unkind fire officials bad called
attention to the fact that the fire es
cape placed on the Shaver school did
not connect with a doorway, but that
the pupils In case of fire would be
forced to climb out of a window.
It took the executive board about
four months to get this escape on the
Shaver school, and only the threat of
closing the school ee the Marquam
theatre had been closed foroedthe di
rectors to teke action at last.
This and several other tteme, each as
only one exit from the aeeembly hall of
the Holman school, seemed to reflect
upon T. 3. Jones, architect of the beard,
and he proceeded te make Indignant ex
planations. Mr. Beach said that the matter oould
be held over until It was learned how
much authority the executive board can..
exercise over the board of education.
"Well, we're given 0 days to do all
theee things; I guess they won't arrest
us for awhile," soliloquised Mr. Flelseh
ner. Unfortunately for eny further die
cussIob, Mr. Wittenberg waa not there.
Ae but three members were present,
little buslnese waa transacted. Thomas
Hlslop appeared for the East Side Im
provement association with ths request
that East Washington street be widened
so that a better approach could be made
to the new high school. It wee sug
gested thet the property owners would
cooperats with the directors In doing
this.
