DRIVER FAILS TO SEE TRAIN; ONE MAN KILLED

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, May 25.-As the result of a
collision between a heavy touring car and the
engine of the Santa Fe Limited, just before 7
o'clock tonight, WALTER
FOSTER, of Minneapolis, a guest of
the Alexandria, is dead;
MISS GENEVIEVE HART, of Los Angeles,
his companion on the ride, is unconscious and
seriously injured, and
CARL WOLD, the chauffeur, is in a
Pasadena hospital with a broken arm and other
severe injuries. The accident occurred at
Lamanda Park, four miles east of Pasadena.
FOSTER and his companion had visited Monrovia at
6:50 p. m. reached the Santa Fe crossing. The
approaching train was not seen by the chauffeur
because of intervening trees and house. When
almost on the track WOLD saw the train, and
apparently became confused. He turned the
automobile almost directly toward the engine,
which was running at about 40 miles an hour. As
the machine struck all three were thrown out and
the big machine was ground to fragments. FOSTER
died shortly after 11 o'clock tonight at a
Pasadena hospital, where the three injured
persons were taken.
