Deep Canyon. , San Francisco, May 11. One man was dead, three persons were suffering from what were believed to be fatal injuries and nearly a score were nurs ing less serious hurts today as a result of a series of automobile accidents Sun day in the bay region. A list of the graver mishaps follows: . C. M. Hanson, chief engineer at Crockett for the California and Haw aiian Sugar company, was killed when his car went over an embankment on a Contra Costa county road botween Sol by and Tormey. His two daughters escaped with severe bruises. Ralph Feig, a San t'rancisco drug gist, was probably fatally hurt in an accident due to the skidding of his automobile eight milos north of San Jose. His mother was badly injured bIho, but several others who were in tho car were practically uninjured. President Samuel Taylor, of the San Francisco Electric Supply company, and Miss Catherine Hanley were perhaps iiy injured when the brake on Tay lor's automobile broke and it backed over an embankment on the Snaky road in Contra Coata county. Mrs. Taylor and. Mrs. Ida M. Wilson were slightly hurt. The 12 passengers on an auto stage of the San Rafael and Bolinns lines were badly shaken and shocked, though none was seriously injured, whon the vehicle jumped over a canyon wall on Liberty grado, eight miles west of San Rafael. But for the fact that it struck a tree it would have fallen to tho bot tom of the canyon, MANY RESPONDING TO CALL TO ARMS If Minimum Number is Secured, They Will Report and Take Steps to Organize.

GOMPERS WINS IN U.S. SUPREME COURT Highest Tribunal Sets Aside Conviction of Labor VeaOer; In Lower Court on Contempt Charges. Washington, May 11. The United States supreme court set aside today the conviction of Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, la bor leaders, of contempt of court in the Bucks Stove & Range company rase. The court decided that the statute of limitations barred prosecution. The decision was read by Justice Holmes. He said the law provides a person must be tried within a limited time. Justices Vandevantor and Pit ney dissented. Commenting on the supreme court's decision, Gompers said: "I am sorry the supreme court did not take cognizance of the principles involved. If it had it would have obviated the necessity of some legis lation we now are seeking." CANDIDATE SHOULD READ LAWS HE WOULD AMEND Secretary of State Olcott received a letter from a candidate for the legis lature this morning written in a hum orous way asking that the secretary place on the candidate's ballot a slo gan which he overlooked. The face tious one wanted to emblazen on his ballot that all might read and dodge, the words: "Big cut in taxes, 2-cent carfifrc, and better wages." lie will probably not consider himself so hu morous when he gets the secretary's letter telling him he is everlastingly too late. It is plain that if he cannot interpret a statute so as to find th? time in which he can file his boosting matter, that he is hardly properly equipped for making laws for others.

With President Wilson as chief mourner, more than 1, 000,000 peoplo turned out here today to do honor to the 17 bluejackets and marines who fell at the capture of Veru Cruz. ' In all the streets through which pass ed the rumbling caissons on which the coffins rested, dense crowds wore banked on either side. Heads craned from every window. AU were bared as the flng-draped caskets rolled by. L'p Broadway the procession moved to the city hall. There it pansed while Mayor Mitchel, plainly docply affoct ed. mude a short speech and laid a giant wreath of orchids and bay loaves on one of the caissons. "The tribute of tho City of Now York," it was in scribed. "The poople of Now York," said the mayor, in part, "pay solemn re spect today to those hero dead. To their Btricken families their loss is ir reparable. Nothing we can say,, noth ing wo can do, can mitigate their sor row. "The highost tribute we can pay at this hour to the Vera Cruz dead is a renewed pledge ol loyalty to the na tion." Ftesldent Wilson Appears, President Wilson's appenranee In the procession was a surprise, as it was expected ho would apear only at the navy yard corcmonios. As the blue jackets and marines standing at ease at tho Bnttcry sprang to attention, his automobile appeared. A detachment from the First Artil lery, New York National Guard, was in waiting with the draped caissons, but it wis tho bluejackets who lnshod tho coffins upon them for tho march. Four "jnckies" stood nt attention as each coffin was brought ashore and placed in line on the pier. All were ashore and tho yacht May flower's launch was just landing Sec retary of the Navy Daniels as the President; arrived. He and the secrej tnry exchanged greetings and wont in side the dock building. A long wait ensued during which the coffins were being placed upon the caissons and the jackies and marines Btood at ease. At last the battleship Wyoming's band struck up "Tho Star Spangled Banner," tho troops sprang to atten tion, the president emerged from tho dock building and the procossion start ed up Broadway. It moved slowly through tho packed street. Fifty mounted policcmon rode ahoad. Then came two naval officors, with a trumpeter betwen thorn, and af ter them tho Wyoming'n flags. Fol lowing were tho bluojnekets and ma rines, and then the Wyoming's and Montana's massed bands playing "Old Hundrod." Caissons Bear Coffins. After the bands rolled the 17 cais sons with a coffin on each. Abend of each caisson rode a mounted police man, at each Side of each one march ed four bluejackets, and behind each a dismounted artilleryman walked. President Wilson's carriage follow ed the culssons, with groups of secrot service agents on foot behind and at each side of it. After it came the carriages of. Secretary Daniels and a score of othor notables. As far as the eye eould reach ahead I the canyon of Broadway was packed. AU hnts were raised and tne bells or Old Trinity and St. Paul's churches were tolled as the eortego passed. Tho navy yard ceremonies were as impressive as the march. Secretary Duniels was the first to speak, ad dressing himself to President Wilson. "Of the nineteen," two of the wounded at Vera Crua after tho Mon tana's departure "who answered tho last roll call with a cheerful 'aye, aye, sir,' " ho said, "thirtoon wore 22 years o'r under. The oldest was 30 and the youngest 19. They gave not only all they were, but all they hoped to be. The first to make the noblest con tribution a man may give was George Poinsett. He was in his 19th year." Nation Honors Heroes. "I know the feelings of all who stand about me, and of the whole na tion nt this hour," said President Wil son. "They are feelings which are not expressable in terms of oratory. "For myself, I have a singular mix ture of feelings. The uppermost feel ing is one of profound grief that these lads had to go to their death. Next to this is a feeling of pride, and, if I may say so, a touch of envy for those who were permitted to do their duty so quietly and so nobly. "Have you thought of itf litre is a rostor of the navy. Suddenly there swing 19 stars ol'f the list gone into the firmament of memory, where they will always shine and always be re membered because the owners of those names performed the duty laid not on 1 upon them, but upon us. "Duty is not an uncommon thing. Men are performing it in ordinary walks of life nil around us all the time and making great sacrifices to perform it. "What gives men like these" and the president made a gesture toward tho flag-covered coffins "their pecu liar distinction is not merely that they did their duty, but that their duty had nothing to do with them or their own personal and peculiar interests. Oave Lives for Others. "Thoy did not give their lives for themselves. They gave their lives for us, because we called upon them, as a nation, to perform an unexpected du ty. "That 1b the way in which men be come distinguished, and that is the on ly way by serving some one beside themselves. And what greater thing eonld you serve than a nation such as this we lovo and are proud off "Are you sorry for theso lads sorry for the way in which thoy will be re membered t Does it not quicken your pulse to think of the list , ot tbemf , I hope to God none of you may join , such a list, but If you do you will join an immortnl company. "So, wliili wo are profoundly sor rcwful, while thcre goes from our hearts a very deep, affectionate sym pathy for the friends and relatives of these lads, who for the rest of their lives shall mourn them, Though with a touch of pride, we know why we do not go away from this occasion down cast but with heuds lifted and with eyes on our country's future, in abso lute confidence as to how it will be worked out. "W have gone to Mexico to serve mankind if we can find a way. We don't want to fight the Mexicans. We want to serve them if we can. A War of Service. "A war of aggression is not a war in which it is a proud thing to die, but a war of service is one in which it is a proud thing to die. "Notice that these men were of our blood. 1 meun the American blood, which is not drawn from one country, one stock and one language, but free men everywhere have sent their " sout and brothers and daughters to this country to make the great compound ration consisting of all the sturdy ele ments, all the best elements on the glebe. "These wero not Irishmen or Ger mans or Frenchmen or Hebrews. They wore not when they went to Vera Cruz. They were Americnns, every one of them, and with no difference in their Americanism because of the stock from which they came. "Thorcfore they were of our blood, and they proved it by Bhowing that they were of our spirit that no mat ter what their derivation, no matter what people they came from, they thought and wished and did the things that were American, and the flag un der which thpy served was the flng un der which the blood of all mankind is united to make a free nation."
