KNOCKED HIGH IN THE AIR
Edmund Davem Struck by a iuth
Street Motor Car, ..,.a-
Fender Did Not Work, but the Man
Had a Miraculous Escape
From Death.

A nearly fatal accident occurred at the
corner OF Ninth street and Louisiana ave
nue. about 4: 10 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
As Ninth street electric car No CAME
bowling along, southbound, Edmund Davem,
fifty-two years of age, who appeared to be
under the influence of liquor, attempted 10
cross the tracks.
Policeman sullivan, of the First precinct.
who stood on an opposite corner. and sew
eral citizens gave shout of warning,
which was not needed by the man. He
reached the center OF the southhound track
when the electric car.struck him with full
force. Davem was thrown into the air by
the force of the collision, and instead of
falling into the netting OF the fender, he
struck upon the track, face downward.
The car rolled him over aud over, while the
spectators gave vent to cries of horror.
Policeman sullivan rushed to the rescue
just as the motorman succeeded in stopping
the electric car. which was without a
trailer. The man was partly under the
fender when he was extricated by the
patrolman, and was bleeding freely from
bad cash on his forehead.
The First precinct patrol wagon responded
to a hurry call on a gallop and the injured
man was quickly removed to the Emergency
Hospital. There the wound was stitched,
and it was also learned that Davem was
suffering from many bruises from being
rolled over the rough cobble stones.
To the police, the wounded man gave his
name as Edmund Davem. At the hospital
it was entered on the Emergency blotter
as Edmund Diver.e He gave his age as
fifty-two years, said he was a native of
Ireland and a soldier by occupation. His
escape from death was rega rded as miracu
Ions. After treatment the injured man
was taken to his home, No. 1888 NJ street,

Will TEST PHILLIPS ORDER
Transfer Question May Result in
Some Interesting Developments.
Belt Line Blames the Metropolitan
and President Newbold Is On
His Way Here.

The abrcgation of transfers between
the Metropolitan Railway and the Belt Line
at Louisiana avenue, Fifth street. and
Eleventh street went into effect yester-
day, fact or which some people who
do not read The Times were only made
aware when they were refused transfers
by the Metropolitan Railroad at the points
ma med.
A notice that such would be the case yes
teruay has been conspicuousIy posted in
the cars of the Belt Lire halfway, In
which notice the Metropolitan is credited
with having withdrawn from Its agree
nient with the BELT Line, leaving the
burden of the numerous complaints TO be
borne by the Metropolitan Railway.
There Is Just now no learning what the
Belt liue people propose 10 uO about 1T,
but the impression mas gotten out that they
VIII test Mr.. Phillips right to arbitrarily
take such action in the courts.
IL was ledrued last night that President
Newbold, of the lexington and Soldiers
Home Railway, which controls the BELT
line, VIII arrive in the city this afternoon,
and it is understood that his coming is
largely on account OF this action or the
Metropolitan railway. What course is to
be pursued by the Belt line is OF course only
speculative, but there is Que of the directors
VINO says that the position assumed by
The Times Is the correct one, and that
there is simply no escape for the Metro
politan railway from the consequences of
its acts through Mr.. Phillips but to restore
the status or to pay the penalty.
Mr.. Hamilton K. Gray, who is now in
charge OF the business nf -the Belt line here.
since the transfer of Manager Schoepf 10
baltimore, said last night that his official
position is misunderss uod.v, He Is not the
manager of the company, nor has he any
right to speak for IL ON a matter of thiS
kind, but his attitude toward the Metrn-
politan can be Ie1rIed from the phrase
olugy of the notice he has had posted in
