Samuel Springer. a driver for Moulton
4 Co., at Thrty-third street and Lexing-

brougham to the Lambs Club at 10 West
Thirty-eixth street at 3 o'clock last evening
TO pick up q fare. He had hardly drawn
UP at the clubhouse when an automobile
went putting by. The bays. which were
already restive, got frightened. whirled
around. throwing Springer from his seat
and dashed east through Thirty-sixth
street.
At Fifth avenue the horses met another
automobile. They just grazed the machine
avenue they nearly bumped into a north
bound trolley car, and at Second avenue
they knocked down woman. She got
several bad bruises and went to Bellevue
Hospital to have them attended to, She
declined to tell her name.
Policemen Kahlen and Colder were not
far behind when the runaways dashed on
street. At the end Of the pier the horses
ran the brougham against the top Of pile
and the collision broke the traces and left
the brougham badly wrecked on the pier.
The horses plunged into the water with q
big splash
The police say that one OF the East Forty
second street ferryboats was passing at
the time and that this kicked up a swell
in which the runaways were probably
drowned. At any rate, Kahlen and Colder
who put out At once with a rowboat, were
unable to find the horses.

WHAT'S BRONX LIQUOR TAX,
TIVE Sections sf New law Set saloon Men
Guessing.


Some Of the liquor dealers in The Bronx
are wondering what their excise tax will
be under the new law. Those In this judicial
district have been paying $500; those In
the second district. $3.50.
The new law inserts the words 'or bor-
ough' after the word city in the folio wing
clauses:
IF the same lsaloonl be In a city or bor-
ough having by the last State census .
population Of I, SOC. 900 or more, the sum OF
81 200; II In Q city or borough having by said
census q population OF less than l 500 600
but more than 800, ,0oo 1e7s; II in . city or
borough having Q population Of less than
5O0. 900, but more than $1,000, $3.50.
n this last clause applies TO The Bronx. the
liquor tax, the saloon men say, seems to be
reduced there, not increased.
But later In the act 10 this. which Is all
new law:
The excise taxes assessed under this act
In cities containing population Of ], 500 600
or more, which are or shall be formed
by the consolidation OF territory situate
In one or more counties, shall be assessed

Stevens l'nihcation Plan Should Pass At
Once. Regent McKeiwsy says.
St. Clair MoKelway Of the State Board
OF Regents was asked by . Sun reporter
last night 10 dispatches from Albany that
he favored Senator Elon r. Browns
amended unification bill were true. Mr..
McKelway said they were not. He went
on to say:
Il have written to the Senator that I
cannot stand for his bill and am In favor
OF the plan Of Senator Stevens bills, intro
duoed last Friday. They met then what
were understood to be the views Of Senator
Lewis, chairman OF the Senate Committee
on Education. and Of Assemblyman Landon,
chairman Of the like committee In the
Assembly.
Il hope the two committees will favorably
report them on Tuesday. II they do not,
I hope a motion will be made and carried
to discharge the committees from their
further consideration and that then they
will be passed. Further delay at this stage
will signify a purpose to pass no bill for
unification. That would plunge the subject
into politics. II would be an inhammatory
subject there hurtful to politics and TO
educational intert sts.
The r egents have conceded the pro-
gressive reduction OF the Regents to eleven;
the exchange OF the life tenure Of Reg ents
thereaf ter elected for a fourteen years
term; the etention OF the Department Of
Public instruction. with salary to Mr..
Skinner and his deputies to the end OF his
term. That should be the limit Of conces-
sion by the Regents. -.
.Mr. Brown would force the retention Of
Mr.. Skinner to the end OF his term; at once
elect eleven moro Regents to serve with
the eighteen now in Office, making the
number, with the three ex -ofiicio members,
thirty-two, and would the n let death reduce
the life Regents to eleven, as tho ultimate
number. a Regent TO be elected each year
thereafter for an eleven-year term. He
would put the high schools as we'll as the

dent, despite the liability OF such a plan to

Today the St Francis levee gave way

Ark, the first about forty-two miles from
Memphis and the second about thirty-five
miles. Both crevasses are reported to
be serious, the one at Shawnee being the
worst of the three. The two breaks to-

water in the territory of Arkansas which
was flooded by the break at Trice's and in
addition they are flooding a vast stretch
of country which has thus far been free

WABASH IEJUECTION SUIT.

st. Louis, Mo, March 20.-Argumcnts
in the Wabash injunction suit were con-

/ He gave no intimation of how much time
he might require to prepare his opinion
! but the attorneys declared, after the ad-
/ iournment of court, that they would look
| for decision in about a week or ten
1 days
| Judge Priest, who made the final argu-
mcnt for tho company alluded to the re-
ported statement of J. r. Courtney Of the

arbitrate. but would not let the railroad
select any of the arbitrator. Judge

who was seated behind F. N. Judscn,
chief counsel for the defendants leaned
quickly forward and spoke a few words
to the attorney, who at once interrupted
Judge Priests argument,
care you willing to settle this thing
in that manner?" Mr.. Judson asked.
Il am here to answer the argument
made by the gentleman" said Judge
Priest. 81 have no authority to speak
either for Mr. Ramsay or the Wabash
road upon such question
Instantly Mr.. Judson was on his feet,
saying:
II wish to say, speaking both for the
trainmen and the fremen. that We are
willing to accept arbitration of a trib-
unal provided for under the acts of Con-
grcss."
"The gcntIomans afterthought is bet
ter than bis forothought," retorted Judge
Priest, and he resumed his argument
In summing up the evidence, Mr. Jud
son declared that the sole jurisdiction pos
sessed by the court was through violations
Of the Inter State Commerce law. These
violations must be illegal in the means
used to attain an end, or illegal in the
end sought, and there had been nothing
shown, he declared, to indicate that
either the end sought or the means used
to attain it were against the law and
therefore, the entire case fell to the
ground and he therefore, prayed the dis
solution of the injunction.
Judge Priests argument was devoted
to summary of the evidence he claim
ing that there was such ample proof of
q conspiracy as to Justify Judge Adams
in the continuance of the injunction.

were going at a fair speed, considering
the fog. and that there was not time
after the warning whistle which follow
