FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT.
Wife of Former Representative Harri-
son of New York Killed.

NEW YORK, November 25-Mrs. Francis
Burton Harrison, wife OF the candidate for
lieutenant governor of New York at the
last election. was killed in an automobile
accident today In Long Island City, L. !.
Mrs. q. T. Scott of San Francisco, who
was with Mrs. Harrison, received internal
injuries. Mrs. Harrison was formerly Miss
Mary Crocker Mr.. e. T. Scott Of San
Francisco and a chauffeur were also injured,
Mr.. Scott suffering fractured rib.
Charles B. Croker of New Haven, Conn,
was also injured.
Mrs Harrison was a daughter of the late
Charles T. Croker of San Francisco. The
accident was due to a break In the steer
ing gear while the automobile was travel
ing at a rapid speed. The chauffeur could
not control the machine, which, after zig
tagging from side to side Of the street,
made sharp turn, which upset 1t on the
pavement. Mrs. Harrison was pinned IN
der the heavy car. while the other members
of the party were thrown clear of the ma
chine. Mrs. Harrison lived until taken
from under the machine and carried to the
hospital.
Mr. and Mrs. Scott were able to leave
the hospital after short time and came
to their hotel In this city. The party were
bound down Long Island on a pleasure trip
when the accident occurred. Apparently
the only cause for the accident was the
difficulty with the steering gear.

ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Chicago's Right to Fix Gas Prices Is
Questioned.

CHICAGO, November 23.-The right OF
the city to fix the price of gas is attacked
In the answer of the Peoples Gas Company
in the Mills" suit filed yesterday In the
federal court. The answer declares the ACT
of the last legislature purporting TO give
the city this right Is unconstitutional
Mr. Mills sued a stockholder OF the
Peoples company and secured temporary
Injunction TO restrain the city from enforc-
ing the 75-cent ordinance of 1900. He made
both the gas company and the city defend
ants The city defended the suit on the
ground that 1t was collusive. and, losing IN
the United States circuit court, is now
taking testimony for an appeal
The company's answer sets out that pc
fore the ordinance Of 1900 was passed the
city had no authority to fix the price OF
gas; that the bill passed at the last session
of the legislature purporting to give such
authority Is void because II embraces more
than one subject, and when 1t was submit
ted to the electors for adoption the elect
ors were required to vote upon two propo-
sftions without having the right and priv
ilege to vote upon either separately. The
act purports to grant the city power and
authority to sell surplus electricity and to
fix rates and charges on gas. The REFER
endum clause required vote OF yes or no.

Senator Delivers Views.

Senator Dolliyer is one OF the senators
who does not agree with the provisions of
the bill placed before the committee yester-
day afternoon by Senator Foraker.
THE trouble with the proposition to have
these questions settled by the courts is that
II is a proposition that has been cast aside, ''
said Mr.. Dolliyer. There Is not a single
Misunderstanding country that takes that
method to settle such questions.
I'm England that method was in vogue,
but 1t was given up for a special COM
mission and a special commission looks
after such matters everywhere Prior to
1881 the House of Representatives passed
bill to have these matters settled by me

senate and the result was the formation OF
the Interstate commerce commission. There
are many reasons why q special cona1nis-

THE EASTERN CHAMPIONSHIP
"PENNsYo-coLUMBIA CONTEST.

NEW YORK. November 25.-Whether
there should be an undisputed eastern foot
ball championship this year depended large
ly on the outcome of the Pennsylvania-Co-
lumbia game today There are still two
undefeated eastern elevens, Pennsylvania
and Yale. and they are not scheduled to
meet each other. Foot ball critics conceded
that IL Pennsylvania won today. Yale, even
with victory over Harvard. could not
claim a clear title to the championship, be-
cause this is Pennsylvania second sue

Columbia was furthermore conceded to be
the last hard game In Pennsylyania's road

although the Quakers must still meet Cor

Columbia today. in spite OF season

General Discussion Of Foraker Bill-Mr.
Dolliver Takes Issue With
Ohio Senator.
MR.. ELKINS EXPLAINS

The committee on Interstate commerce of
the Senate attempted to take another step
In the direction upon an agreement upon a
railroad rate bill today, but the lack OF
more general attendance on the session of
the committee resulted In but little being
done Senators never like to be called to
the Capitol on business on Saturday. Such
sessions are always unpopular. but 1t was
thought yesterday that meeting could be
held today, in order that Senator Cullom,
who had expressed desire to question
Senator Foraker about the provisions of his
bill, might have an opportunity to do SO.
Senator Cullom has not been well dur
ing the pest several days, having had an
proved SO troublesome that he has re-
manned away from the Capitol ever since.
1t was thought he would be on hand to-
meeting OF the committee That inter-
fered with the program that had been ar
ranged. In addition to that Senator MIL
lard, who was on hand at II o'clock,
had an engagement with the President
at noon, and he had to leave the Capitol
to meet 1T.
not on hand. Those who aid show up were
Senator Elkins. chairman; Senator For
aker, Senator DolIiyer. Senator TiiIman
and Senator Newiands.
Exchange Of Views.
The meeting was not called to order until
about noon. and then only half an hour was
spent In Conversation" as one senator de-
scribed it. The chief feature of Senator
Feraker's bill that was discussed related to
the provision OF the bill that questions reiat-
ing to the railroad determinations should
be settled In the courts instead OF by q spe-
cial commission. The courts were declared
n q the hOdfQS for gifnh
litigation, because, II was argued, the cases
might eventually have to be decided there
any way.
Ga the other hand 1t was declared that
special commission was the kind of body
that would have the expert knowledge to
deal with cases OF that kind.
Senator Elkins Explains.
Senator Eikins was called upon to explain
how it happened that ne had surrendered
TO the President horse, foot and dragoon,"
according to New York newspaper. This
publication went on to say that the chair
man Of tho committee had gone over soul
and body to the President, and had told
the President that he would support any
kind Of a bill that he might send to the
Senate.
Mr. Eikins declared that he knew nothing
of his ignominious surrender TO the Presi-
dent that had been heralded abroad. lie
went On to say that ne had not seen the
President for three weeks. and that he had
not said anything In the committee that
could be given such q construction.
The senator had to take the good-aa-
tured jibes Of his friends on the COMMITTEES,
both republicans and democrats. He de-
ciared, however, that he had entertained
his own views upon raiiroad-rate legisla-
ton and he had no doubt that the COM
mittse would eventually get together On
some bill that would be generally approved
