THURSDAY EVENING. OAKLAND TRIBUNE 'APRIL 11, 1912 GOSSIP OF STUDENTS SOCIAL AND PERSONAL BERKELEY AND UNIVERSITY RESIDENTS TOWN IN AND IN THE HAPPENINGS ISLAND OF CITY DAY ALAMEDA ELECTRICITY IN GENERAL MIXUP Alameda Municipal Wire Plays Havoc With Electric Cars. ALAMEDA, April of the 1 most complicated electric power acidents in the history of Alameda was. caused between 5 and 6 o'clock last night by the falling of a limb off a huge eucalyptus tree at Encinal avenue and Morton street. The limb fell across a line of the municipal light plant, severing.

the wire. The broken wire with its heavy load 'of elec- tricity, dropped across the feeder wire of the Southern Pacific, burning the feeder wire in two and instantly tying up 8. half dozen electric trains in different parts of the Alameda loop or en route to and from Alameda pier. Not content with this damage, the city wire next tackled the nearby lines of the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph Company. Immediately several dozen phones, stretching for several blocks on ether side of Morton street and reaching clear across the city north and south, were put out of commission.

Several fires were started by the burned out telephone fuses. Two small fires were started in the Palace Market of Mayor W. Hz' Noy and in numerous other business places In the affected district. None of the fires did any serious damage. Passengers on the stalled trains within the city limits walked or boarded street cars for home.

Those passengers marooned on the marsh several miles from home had to walt for An hour and a half while the repaired the damage and traffic could be resumed. Alameda passengers from San -Francisco, still on the San Francisco side, were carried to Oakland pier sent into Alameda by way of the horseshoe trains which operated as far as Park street station on the north side. A large trainload of Fruitvale and East Oakland commuters were stalled at Lincoln avenue and Webster street on the horseshoe line until the break was repaired. Since the two recent accidents at the mole in which single train cars tore down feeder and trolley wires and tied up all Alameda mole traffic, the railroad has adopted special precautions to insure against such accidents as occurred at the mole and happened again last night. The operation of single car trains has practically been discontinued, as two or more CATS coupled together operate more steadily than the single car, which rocks and vibrates over switch joints and other rough places In the track.

For several days a crew of linemen have been at work at the crossing at Park street and Encinal avenue replacing the former circult breaking arrangement with a new system which is expected to prove accident proof.
