ROADSTER SMASHES INTO WHITE STAGE A collision between an Oldsmobile roadster and a White Bus stage on No. Los Angeles-st about 6:30 last VIENNA DEATH RATE BECOMES APPALLING Condition of Children Even More Harrowing, Declares Authority on City's Desperate Plight. Five years of famine have resulted in greatly increased mortality and morbidity in Vienna which before the war was counted as one of the healthiest cities in Europe. Figures prepared by Dr. Gustave Bohn, head of the Vienna Henthill Department, show that in 1013 the death rate was 15.3 per thousand. In 1918 the rate was 22.5 per thousand, an increase of more than 47 per cent. Professor Hans Spel of the University of Vienna says that "even more terrible than the mortality statistics are those referring to the condition of children and their mothers. Owing to under-nourishment few mothers can nurse their babies, and the milk shortage affects not only infants, but all children in spite of all that has been done to help. At Professor Clemens Pirquet's clinic in the university some 54,849 children were examined in 1918. Only 4,637 of these or about one-thirteenth were passed as skin good, fat good; 23,609 were pale and thin, or very pale and very thin. "The health of these children shows most disquieting features. Skin disease, rachitis and Barlow's disease are rife." "The chief medical officer of Vienna asks, 'What is going to happen to these under-fed children, in whose bodies the germ of tuberculosis is latent, when they reach the twenties, at which time it becomes active?'" To combat these conditions the American Relief Administrator of which Herbert Hoover is chairman fed last official Probe Gas Inferno (Continued from Page One.) Huntington Park hospital, the interior of the car was a mass of flames, which shot in thru the windows. "I was one of the last persons out of the coach," she said. "I don't know how I got out, tho I believe I shoved my foot thru the glass. We could not open the dinky little windows, so we had to break them or get burned to death." Miss Ribison then assisted her chum thru the window she had just shattered, before leaving the car herself. F. J. Wielefs, a Banning undertaker, was sitting in the smoking compartment with four other men. Wielefs was accompanying the remains of Richard Cole, whose funeral was to be conducted today. The body of Cole was in a casket in the baggage compartment. Wielefs who is an elderly man, also escaped thru one of the small circular windows. He fell to the ground and sprained his back. He ran to the baggage compartment and sought the baggageman, and the two men dragged the casket to safety. "I know Richard Cole as my own son," he said tearfully, as he stood guard over the body as it lay in a plowed field. "I had known him all my life. His family had asked me to take charge of the remains and that I have done. I would have given my life gladly to save it from that burning car." Wielefs refused medical treatment. He preferred to remain at the casket of his dead friend. Mrs. N. Rocho, who with her husband and two babies was in the coach, succeeded in rescuing the children. Mr. and Mrs. Roeho received painful burns and lacerations on their hands, but the two babies were unscathed. She had lifted them thru the window and dropped them to the ground before doing so herself. It is this confidence of the trade that the local association is after. All business, more than ever before, is being built on and firmly secured by the individual reputation of each business house. ROADSTER SMASHES INTO WHITE STAGE A collision between an Oldsmobile roadster and a White Bus stage on No. Los Angeles-st about 6:30 last night resulted in damage to both cars but no loss of life. The Oldsmobile, driven by Manford Gardner, contractor of Orange, was running on the wrong side of the street coming south and the stage was going north. Not knowing what Gardner was going to do, the stage driver turned to the middle of the road to let the roadster pass on the wrong side when the roadster smashed into the rear end of the stage. A wheel was torn off one side of the Oldsmobile. Gardner stated he was leaning out of the car looking at his skid chains, and drove over too far. KATHLEEN CLIFFORD ROBBED OF $50,000 LOS ANGELES, Jan. 20—Passkey burglars who entered the home of Kathleen Clifford, stage and screen star, in Hollywood, at an early hour today secured diamonds, furs, jewels, and imported liquor valued at nearly $50,000. It was at first reported that the loss was only about one-half that figure, but investigation by the police and the victim of the robbers disclosed much additional loss. EASTERN BUILDER MAKES HOME HERE Harry Hampton, recently in Cincinnati, has arrived in Anaheim and plans to enter the contracting business here.

JAPANESE PROPOSE $281,000,000 BUDGET TOKIO, Jan. 20—A wall of protest went up from Japan with the announcement that the national budget will call for 562,000,000 yen, nominally $281,000,000. Half the amount was for the army and navy. ANTI-SINN FEIN RAIDS To combat these conditions the American Relief Administrator of which Herbert Hoover is chairman fed last winter in the city of Vienna some 300,000 of the deattitute and under-nourished children, supplying them with a substantial meal of American food, served in a number of large kitchens opened for that purpose. The conditions in Vienna are more or less typical of those in Poland and other countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Last year the Relief Administration was able to reach some 3,500,000 under-nourished children and this winter the program calls for the feeding of a like number, but eight of the great charitable organizations of America have united under the name of the European Relief Council, of which Mr. Hoover is the chairman. The child feeding task will be carried on not only by the American Relief Administration but by the American Red Cross, the American Friends' Service Committee (Quinkers), the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, the Knights of Columbus, the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. An appeal for $33,000,000 has been made and the organizations named have joined in raising the sum. LAUGHTER OF CHILD SCARCE IN POLAND "In all the time I was in Poland, I scarcely once saw a child laugh," declared Dr Harry Plotz, discoverer of the typhus bacillus, in a report to the European Relief Council on medical conditions among the Jewish population of Poland, based on his recent investigations there for the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. "The most deplorable sight of all the miseries in Poland is the condition of the children." Dr. Plotz said. "Infant mortality is exceedingly high because of under-nourishment and the high percentage of contagious diseases. In large part mothers must resort to artificial feeding as they are unable to nurse their children. In many cities I saw underfed children, suffering with diseases, wandering about the streets with no place to go, begging for bread." Tuberculosis has become prevalent among the Jewish children, largely due to the overcrowded conditions in which they are forced to live. Their lack of nourishing food and warm clothing, according to Dr. Plotz. Typhus, which killed thousands of last winter in the most endangered reefs. Wiefels refused medical treatment. He preferred to remain at the casket of his dead friend. Mrs. N. Rocho, who with her husband and two babies was in the coach, succeeded in rescuing the children. Mr. and Mrs. Rocho received painful burns and lacerations on their hands, but the two babies were unscathed. She had lifted them thru the window and dropped them to the ground before doing so herself. Wiefels gave a vivid story of the tragic collision and its blazing aftermath. "I was in the smoking compartment," he said. "I was suddenly tarred from my seat by a terrific bump. The car swayed to one side and then tottered back to its normal position. The flames spread rapidly and I scrambled toward a window and broke it. While I was half way thru it, another man leaped on top of me and tried to shove me aside. For a few minutes both of us were wedged in the opening. I suddenly wrenched myself thru and fell to the ground. I must have sprained my back in the fall, tho I was not burned." CARE FOR INJURED The injured were taken to the home of J. T. V. Steele, a near-by rancher. There they awaited the coming of the ambulances, which transported them to the Huntington Park Hospital, where Dr.J.H.Turner administered first-aid treatment. Bad phone service—practically all the phones in that district had been put out of commission by the recent rains—hampered the rescue work. Assistance could not be obtained and for more than an hour the injured were cared for by the hospitable ranchers and the unhurt passengers. The scene of the collision was one of indescribable confusion. Hundreds of motorists jammed the boulevard and intersecting roads. At the boulevard crossing all that remained was a mass of twisted steel and a pile of scaffold tin cans, the remains of the truck. The rails for many rods had been twisted by the excessive heat and lay red hot on the road bed. The train coach was still on the tracks a short distance away, tho all that remained was a huge smouldering metal frame. Walter Pratt, the driver of the JAPANESE PROPOSE $281,000,000 BUDGET TOKIO, Jan. 20—A wall of protest went up from Japan with the announcement that the national budget will call for 562,000,000 yen, nominally $281,000,000. Half the amount was for the army and navy.

Pratt, with his cargo of gasoline, left the refinery of the Gilmore Petroleum Co. about 5 o'clock. Each night he had made the trip with similar cargoes. This consignment of gasoline was billed to the British Imperial Oil Co. in Australia and was to be shipped from Los Angeles Harbor. Twice bereaved within a fortnight, Willis Faust, whose wife was burneted to death in the wreck, last night gave his version of the accident. He explained that the death of his fater, Willis Faust, Sr., at Santa Ana, two weeks ago, caused him to take a short layoff. He was to return to work Saturday. "When the motor coach and the gasoline truck collided the former glided past the machine and stopped with the rear platform almost opposite the wrecked auto truck. Almost as soon as the crash occurred a blinding flash of gasoline bathed our coach inside and out. It was the explosion of the truckload of gasoline. "We were all badly shaken up and many of us cut by glass, but we leapt from our seats and started for the front and rear doors. I grabbed my wife and started for the baggage compartment of the car, at the front end, thinking that we could get out the side door, but just as I went to open the door to the forward end of the car the 180-gallon tank of gasoline stored in the coach blew up and escape was cut off. "Turning around and rushing toward the rear platform of the coach. I discovered that we could not escape in that way, because the car was all ablaze, so I opened a window on the side opposite the fiercest fire, and crawling halfway out, feet first. I seized my wife and undertook to drag her out with me, but something happened—I don't know what—and I landed on the ground on my head, awakening in the hospital. My poor wife was burned to death." Engineer Faust says he and Mrs. Faust were riding in a seat at about the center of the car when the wreck occurred. He has been running on that line for about three seemingly a vehicle of some sort trying to go across the tracks every time a train reaches the crossing. Mr. Faust is 47 years old. He has been working for the Southern Pacific 30 years. Lelia May Faust, the wreck victim, was 41 years of age. She was born in Washington, D.C., where they were married June 29, 1910. They had no children. Besides the widower, she leaves a mother, Mrs. Laura A. Nelson, who resided with them in Anahelm, and a sister, Mrs. Ethel M. Petchlynn, in San Francisco.
