PASSENGER NARROWLY ES- CAPES DECAPITATION C INSANE WOMAN SINGS WEIRDLY "All exterior walls of a reinforced concrete building shall be constructed of either brick, stone or concrete. Where brick, stone or concrete Is used for walls for the exterior or In- terior of buildings whether bearing or curtain walls, whether the same be reinforced with steel bars or not, the thickness of such walls shall be the same as that provided for masonry walls In ordinance 12800 for buildings of classes A, B and C, respectively." The major part of the ordinance Is satisfactory to all and It Is admitted that nn ordinance Is greatly needed, but section 182, relating to concrete ex« terlor walls, Is the stickler with the concrete men, who assert that Its pass- age meant the death of concrete con- struction In Los Angeles. The section reads ns follows: It was the Intention of 'he council to have passed the ordinance at Its regular session last Monday. This frame-up is alleged by the concrete contractors to have been made by the brick men. The chamber of commerce Interfered with the plans and asked delay until a special committee of that organisation could make an Investlga* tlon. * The reinforced concrete ordinance will be the subject of discussion at a special meeting of the council today. Advocates of this material for build* Ing construction, as veil as the brick n^cn with their attorneys are expected to be In attendance In full force. Building Ordinance Will Decide Fata of Provision of At Special Meeting Today Council \u25a0 While C. .C. Jackson, a laborer em- ployed by the Los Angeles Railway company, whjj rooms at 609 East Bec- ond street, was working In a trench at Ninth and Grand avenue yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock, a runaway horae tumbled headlong Into the ex- cavation, the huge body falling with tremendous force upon Jackson. He was pressed flatly upon the ground by the great weight of the horse and remained motionless for nearly an hour until the animal could be removed from the ditch by ropes, i Jackson was taken to the Sinters' hospital, where It was found that he had sustained severe Internal Injuries and his ribs had been broken. His condition Is said to be so serious as to cause grave doubts of his complete re- covery. Who the owner of the runaway horse Is could not be learned yesterday, but the mad race of the animal Is believed to have started from .in front of the postofflce at Seventh and Grand, .where It was left by a man who entered the office.- When the driver, returned to his vehicle and was about to Jump on the seat the horse became fright- ened from some source and dashed away, leaving the owner behind. cry—Owner of Runaway Animal Unknown Internal Injuries Resulting Cause Grave Doubts of Ultimate Recov. v RESIDENCE IS UNABLE TO TELL HER HEARD AROUND THE CORRIDORS BY THE KAVESDROPPEK Cannot Speak English, but Is De. . dared by Interpreters to Be Highly Educated and Refined Wildly singing some ancient hymn of her own native Russia and pound- Ing on the desk befdre her aB though playing an accompaniment to her song, a woman, who gave her name^as Fan- nie Sax, yesterday faoed the Insanity commission in. Judge Glbbs' depart- ment two of the superior court and was committed to the insane asylum,, \u25a0 The woman's case is a peculiar one. She ia dark and pretty and shows ev- ery mark of refinement and education, but thud far the police. have. been un- able, to learn anything other home or her relatives and- a thorough search of the city will be made during'the next few days to try and locate her people. Mrs. Sax was discovered huddled up In the corner of an alley onEast Fifth street by Patrolman Sh'ands, several |days ago. . She was well dressed, but that her garments were still hanging to her was a wonder, for. she had at- tempted to tear them from her body. At the time she was chanting the same weird hymn which she sang yesterday. At times the little \u25a0 chant dropped to the minor chords and the woman would rock forward and backward only to be- come violent a few moments , later, when she would shriek out tha snatches of song as though yelling a war cry. \ The officer took 'the woman to the city jail and later she was sent to the county hospital, where she continued to rave. Several women testified yester- day In court that they had seen Mrs. Sax several times, but that she had always been very particular, > and they could never learn from her even where she lived. ' , . Through the efforts of an Interpreter It was learned that the woman had come to America from her home In Biolostok, Russia, several months ago. Further than some .wild statement that her relatives mistreated her and that somewhere In the city she had several trunks of belongrings, no Information could be obtained. The woman raved first in the German language' and then InRussian and Yiddish and, according to the statements of interpreters, her language proved her to be a highly ed- ucated woman. , . . As no Information could be obtained and as Mrs. Sax was violent and fought the officers when they tried to remonstrate with- her, the physicians ordered 'her sent to the state hospital, but every effort will . be made to find her relatives and tell them of her plight.

The hotel property originally . \u25a0belonged to Mrs. J Theresa Oelrichs, and she planned to build the finest hotel In' the land.

When the property came Into our hands, we determined to go right on with her plans and now since the fire we are still carrying out those same ideas. Since then we decided to add another story and this is being done. . -"The hotel is being erected at a cost of ' four and one-half million dollars, and when complete there will be six hundred rooms. We are paying out $40,000 a week for labor and It seems impossible to get enough mechanics. The-rebulldV.T of the city Is a herculean task ande.«.ry San Franciscan Is be- ginning to realize it.

\u25a0 While C..C. Jackson, a laborer em-ployed by the Los Angeles Railway

company, whjjrooms at 609 East Bec-ond street, was working In a trenchat Ninth and Grand avenue yesterdayafternoon about 4 o'clock, a runawayhorae tumbled headlong Into the ex-cavation, the huge body falling withtremendous force upon Jackson. Hewas pressed flatly upon the groundby the great weight of the horse andremained motionless fornearly an houruntil the animal could be removedfrom the ditch by ropes, i

Jackson was taken to the Sinters'hospital, where It was found that hehad sustained severe Internal Injuriesand his ribs had been broken. Hiscondition Is said to be so serious as tocause grave doubts of his complete re-covery.

Who the owner of the runaway horseIs could not be learned yesterday, butthe mad race of the animal Is believedto have started from .in front of thepostofflce at Seventh and Grand, .whereIt was left by a man who entered theoffice.- When the driver, returned tohis vehicle and was about to Jumpon the seat the horse became fright-ened from some source and dashedaway, leaving the owner behind.

Wildly singing some ancient hymn

a woman, who gave her name^as Fan-nie Sax, yesterday faoed the Insanitycommission in. Judge Glbbs' depart-

ment two of the superior court and

was committed to the insane asylum,,\u25a0 The woman's case is a peculiar one.

She ia dark and pretty and shows ev-ery mark of refinement and education,but thud far the police.have.been un-able, to learn anything other home orher relatives and- a thorough searchof the city willbe made during 'thenext few days to try and locate herpeople. •

Mrs. Sax was discovered huddled upIn the corner of an alley onEast Fifthstreet by Patrolman Sh'ands, several|days ago. . She was welldressed, butthat her garments were still hanging

to her was a wonder, for.she had at-tempted to tear them from her body.

At the time she was chanting the sameweird hymn which she sang yesterday.At times the •little \u25a0 chant dropped to

the minor chords and the woman wouldrock forward and backward only to be-come violent a few moments , later,

when she would shriek out tha snatchesof song as though yellinga war cry.\ The officer took 'the woman to thecity jailand later she was sent to thecounty hospital, where she continuedto rave. Several women testified yester-day Incourt that they had seen Mrs.Sax several times, but that she hadalways been very particular, >and theycould never learn from her even whereshe lived.

' , . •

Through the efforts of an InterpreterIt was learned that the woman hadcome to America •from her home InBiolostok, Russia, several months ago.Further than some .wild statement thather relatives mistreated her and thatsomewhere In the city she had severaltrunks of belongrings, no Informationcould be obtained. The woman ravedfirst in the German language' and thenInRussian and Yiddish and, accordingto the statements of interpreters, herlanguage proved her to be a highly ed-ucated woman. , . .

As no Information could be obtainedand as Mrs. Sax was violent andfought the officers when they tried toremonstrate with- her, the physiciansordered 'her sent to the state hospital,

but every effort will.be made to findher relatives and tell them ofher plight.

When asked concerning the building

of the Fairmont hotel and other con-struction work in San Francisco, Mr.Law said:

• "We are rushing everything as rap-IdlyJas possible and 'by the middle ofJanuary we hope to open the first 160rooms' of the hotel. The hotel propertyoriginally. \u25a0belonged to Mrs. J TheresaOelrichs, and she planned to build thefinest hotel In' the land.

When the property came Intoour hands, we determined to go righton with her plans and now since thefire we are still carrying out• thosesame ideas. Since then we decided toadd another story and this is beingdone. .-"The hotel is being erected at a cost

of'

four and one-half million dollars,and when complete there will be sixhundred rooms. We are paying out$40,000 a week for labor and It seemsimpossible to get enough mechanics.The-rebulldV.T of the city Is a herculeantask ande.«.ry San Franciscan Is be-

ginning to realize it. We are all san-guine, however, and It willbe rebuilt.
