PASSENGER KILLED

Fell Under Wheels When EX-
press Broke in Two.

Syracuse, N. Y, Nov. 29.-John ].
Flach, of Denver, Colo, was instantly
killed in an unusual railroad accident
on the New York Central railroad be-
tween Buffalo and Rochester. He was
a passenger aboard the fast Lake
Shore limited, and as he was crossing
the vestibule between a Pullman
sleeper and the dining car the train
broke in two. and he was thrown to
his death under the trucks.
The rear part of the train stopped
suddenly under application of the air
brakes. William Wickes, the conduc-
tor, rushed forward to ascertain the
trouble and on the vestibule he no
ticed a felt hat He looked down and
discovered the body of Mr.. Flach dou-
bled up under the trucks.
Mr.. Flach was returning to Syra-
cuse to visit his mother and sisters
and brothers, whom he had not seen
in nine years.
According to railroad officials in this
city, this accident was the first OF its
kind in railroad history in which there
has been a loss of life.

by Republicans such as Senator Cum
minis, of Iowa. who insists that the
party failed to conform to it's platform
pledges of 1908 when it placed the
Payne tariff act before the president
for approval One of Mr.. Mann's bills
provides for a change in the wood
pulp print paper schedule of the new
tariff law; another exempts Canadian
products from the application of the
maximum tariff, and a third provides
for postponing the date upon which
the maximum tariff shall become ef-
fective.
Fear Trade War With Canada.
Representative Mann announced
that he was prompted to introduce the
bills because of a fear that if the
tariff law was enforced in it's present
form a disastrous trade war with Can
ada would result This fear is said to
be shared with some administration
leaders. Whether the Mann bills will
have the support of the administration
has not been disclosed. Nor is it
known what attitude Speaker Cannon
will assume toward the measures. In
addition to the significance attached to
the purpose of Mr.. Mann's move to
revise the tariff by reason of the fact
that he is one of the chief lieutenants
of Speaker Cannon. Mr.. Mann has
been a frequent caller at the White
Hopse lately, and it is understood that
he acquainted the president with his
determination to introduce bills for a
partial revision of the tariff.
The administration. it is known, is
very much concerned over the present
trade relations of this country with
Canada, and is apprehensive that com.
mercial warfare with Canada would be
more hurtful in its influence upon
American trade than would be the
minimum rates to Canadian products.
as well as to the products of other
countries, while certain senators and
representatives contend that through
the instrumentality of the maximum
and minimum tariff they reviewed the
rates upward instead of downward.

She had seen a red tongue of flame

Washington, Nov. 29.-Stand-pat Re
rublicans do not like the clamOr from
various quarters for another revision
of the tariff by the present congress.
They are very much provoked over
the situation and are particularly in
censed with Representatives James R.
Mann, of Illinois, who has announced
a purpose to introduce a series of bills
in the house that is expected to open
up the tariff for serious discussion at
the coming session. Mr.. Mann's promi-

something to be reckOned with.
Representative Serene E. Payne, of
New York, chairman of the committee
on ways and means. who has just
come to town, poOh-pOohs the idea
that the house may be induced this
winter to revise the tariff in whole as
demanded by Republican insurgents

Representative Mann.

Washington that the Mann bills, re-
