The Merriam Park car was thrown
sideways, though the front trucks did
not leave the tracks. The rear end of
the car leveled gas lamppost to the
ground and landed against telephone
pole. The front of the car and the rear
of the dummy were smashed, though
only one window of the car was broken.
Conductor E. M. Anderson said that
there were five passengers on the car,
and that none of them was injured to
the extent of requiring the aid of
physician. He escaped injury, though
he was shaken up.
Michael Hayes, the switchman sta

said he could not understand how the
car had left the track. He narrowly
escaped being struck by the car when
it passed him.
The accident tied up traffic on the

nearly two hours before the Merriam

Merriam Park car and dummy were

The accident, in which no one was

When the hind wheels left the track
the motorman, Peter Baker, did not
know that anything was wrong and he
continued down Selby avenue to meet
the dummy which was waiting for him
at the top of the hill on the opposite
side of Summit avenue.
The car gained considerable speed,
the motorman having relied upon the
air brakes to check his car. The rear

have decided to abandon for the pres
ent consideration of the question of
mixing Canadian wheat with American
product in operating under the draw
back regulations now ready for the

WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.-At the re-
quest of Secretary Shaw, representa-
tives of leading flour interests of the
United States were at the treasury de-
partment today in conference over the
subject of the regulations under con-
temptation to allow drawbacks on ex-s
ported -four made in part from import
ed wheat. During the conference the
secretary questioned the millers pres
ent on several matters of detail in con-
nection with the milling of wheat, the
condition of export trade and the nee
essity for the action asked for.

atives of the Sheffield King Milling
company and Pillsbury- -Washburn
Milling company, of Minneapolis.
At the conclusion of the conference,
the following statement made by Sec
Tetary Shaw was given out;
There are three distinct PROPOSE
tions covering the manufacture of -four
for the export trade from imported
wheat:
..First-For many years mills have
been permitted to manufacture flour
in bond. Under the law applicable to
such cases no duty is paid, but the. i'm
ported wheat is taken to the bonded
mill, there converted into flour and by
products under government supervision
and the entire product of the imported
wheat is exported. Nothing goes into
consumption and no duty is paid. Bran
will not stand expectation, so this plan
is not desirable.
'Second-The law also authorizes the
manufacture of flour from imported
wheat in ordinary mills and a draw
back equal to the duty on the wheat,
less l per cent, is allowed when the
entire product of the wheat is export
ed. Under this provision, which has
been in operation for a number of
years and against which there has been
10 complaint, the mills import the
wheat, pay the duty, convert it and
export the flour and the by-products
