Mr. Teewinkle and Mr. Fend rick wera driving south on Winter street, when Mr. Llvesley, accompan ied by his family, vere traveling Jn the same direction. Tho auto driver was exercising care on account of his gas lights on the machine being out, and only the oil lamps along the side of the auto burning, but tho rig ahead was notjiotlced until within a few feet ahead, and too near for Mr. Lives ley to bring his big machine to a halt, and the collision resulted. Tho two men in the buggy were hurled to tho road, and the shock rendered both of them unconscious. They were carried into tho sanlturium, close by, where medical attention was given. Mr. Teewinkle soon recovered, and, after a brief rest, was able to walk about, but Mr. Fendrick as painfully bruised and shocked, and is still' In the hospital. Reports this morning, however are to the effect that no bones are broken, and Mr. Fendrick will probably be about within a short time. Mr. Livesloy is considered to be a capable and careful driver, but, ow ing to his car being so heavy, the im pact with the light buggy, even while traveling at a snail's pace, would nat urally be with great force. Mr. Llvesley said that he did not see the rig in front of him until within a few feet of it, and that, although he applied the brakes Immediately and did everything he c'ould to avoid the collision, the machine could not be stopped in time to prevent the colli sion.

Constantinople, March 21.-rln an swer to the summons of theleadors of the peasants, Issued two days ago a thousand armed peasants assembled in the Karditsa district, in the prov inco of Thessnly today, in prepara tion for an organized movoment against the Turkish and Mohamme dan land owners. The peasants are inflamed because several of their number were killed yesterday in clashes with the Gre clan troops at Nombeglor and Lary isa. The troops just arrived from Athens to protect tho land owners Tho government today admitted that five peasants were killed and many wounded by tho soldiery. It is be lieved, however, that more were killed than was officially given out. The situation is critical through out the province, and it is believed unless stringent measures are en forced immediately that civil war will result. Many Turks who own' property have deserted their interests and are leaving tho country. Several Turkish landlords havo been murdered and their homes sacked by the peasant's, despite the presence or tho soldiers. This, it is said, may result in do clslvo action on the part of the Turk lsh government. Tho Porto has al ready served notice on Greece that she would consider such acts of vio lence as sufficient grounds, for 'an armed Invasion. Tho trouble in Thessaly had its in ception In a.petltlon of the peasants to tho government, In which they asked that tho land owners be dis prisoned of th,oir holdings, and that tho land be divided among the peas ants. MISS PEAR AWSON IS LEFT . HOME DURING NIGHT- FEARS ENTERTAINED THAT SHE WAS DEwANGEl AND HAS DROWNED HERSELF. Pearl Rawson, tho 16-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Raw son, of Englowood, disappeared from her homo this morning somo tlmo be tween midnight and 6 0 clock. She was engaged to bo married to Roy Williamson, an oxcellont young man. the marriage to tako piaco this fall on tho return of Mr. Williamson from Eastern Oregon, for which place he Jeft last Tuesday Intending to work out there during tho summer. Pearl had beon attonding tho tab ernaclo meetings; accompanying htr paronts, and was there Sunday night Sho was' a member of the choir, and took an activo iiart in tho work, iro- Ing forward with a young girl last night. Her parents loft for homo bo- fore the sorvlces closed, and Pearl was to co mo with her neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Moss. She missed them, howover, and when she came home, her father called to her, us she wont up the stairs, asking hor who she came home with, and she replied, two girls living near the East school." That was the last known of hor. She was first missed this morning. Mr. Rawson ia employed at tho prison and does not tako breakfast at home, as he leaves at 5 o'clock. At C o'clock Mrs. Rawsou culled , her daughter, and, getting 110 answer, went to nor room, which was empty. On a table In the room she found an unfinished letter from the girl to hor intended husband, and this had been turned over and on the back was written this npte: "Don't worry about mo, for I am safe, and If I should dio I would not be lost "I love Roy, I wish I could find him . Your Sister and Daughter." Mr. Rawson was at once called called home, and a search for the ..(! n g girl began. An examination hewed site had lowered he reel f from the second-story window, so that n-ei ijucnd tne upper casing or the lower window, ami then jumped o the ground, the Indentations being deep and well defined, and the tracks undoubtedly Hers. These were fol MSSIN lowed around to and onto tho front porclva ul there all trace of tho girl was lost. She took no clothing with her, ox cept such as she wore, except a black skirt, and had neither her hat nor wraps. Chief of Police Gibson is of the opinion thfct tho girl was1 tempor arily deranged, and that she has com mitted fulcido by drowning. This theory is given more color, slnco her little sister recalls that Saturday they wore on tho Willamette bridge to gether and Pearl romarkod, "the water looks good to mo. I wonder If it is over my head?" Tho police and others are searching the banks of tho crok and river, but no trace of the creek and river, but no traco of the she took tho skirt may bo taken as an indication that she did not con template suicide, and it loads to the hope that sho may havo only wan dered away, and that she will be found and returned to her grief stricken parents. To Unlso Kates to Alaska. Seattle, Wash., March 21. Tho ond of tho passenger rate war on Alaskan steamship lines Is in sight. It is generally conceded on tho .wa ter front today that rates will be back at tho old basis by April 15, following tho announcement of tho Pacific' Coast Steamship company yesterday, that tho old rates would be 'restored Aprp 1.
