AUTO And WHEEL
COLLIDE HEAD-ON
J. w. AGREE. RIDER OF WHEEL
RECEIVES BADLY CUT
HEAD.

In a head-on collision between the
Ford automobile of l.. S. Dubois and
a bicycle ridden by j. w. AGREE, an
insurance collector, on Broadway be-
tween Sixth and Seventh streets,
about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
Mr.. AGREE plunged headlong into the
glass windshield of the car, shat
tering it and cutting his head while
the bicycle was demolished. At S.
II. Winstead's drug store, Seventh
street and Broadway, AGREE was
patched up.
The machine. occupied by Mrs.
Dubois and driven by WIN Mitchell,
colored, was going west on the right
hand side of the street at a moderate
speed. Mr.. AGREE, an attache of the
Prudential Insurance company, was
going east on the left hand side OF
the street, coming directly in front
of the auto. At the middle of the
block Mitchell steered the machine
toward the curbing to avoid running
down Mr.. AGREE, who turned directly
into it. The force of the collision
pitched AGREE through the glass
front of the auto, cutting him over
the left eye, and behind the left
ear. The bicycle was wrecked.
When the auto was brought to a
standstill, Mrs. Dubois got out and
accompanied Mr.. AGREE to the drug
store, where.it was found he was not
seriously injured and able to walk.
Mr.. AGREE claims he did not see the
auto and says no signal was given by
the chauffeur. Mitchell claims he was
on the right-hand side of the street.
and seeing that AGREE was not max
ing an effort to get out of the path,
he turned towards the curbing.

President Confers With Friends
About Forthcoming Message and
Many Other Important Questions
White Slave Traffic as Re.
lated to immigration. In.
terstate Commerce. New
Mexican Governorship.

Wash ,ngton, Nov. 25.-President
Taft devoted yesterday afternoon to
conference covering the amendment
of the interstate commerce laws,
Legislation for the suppression of the
white slave" traffic, appointment OF
successor to the late Judge Bethea
OF the federal court of Chicago, and
the appointment of a governor for
New Mexico.
1t was said that the president is
practically ready now to dictate a
portion OF his message to congress,
covering the interstate la wamend-
ments. There were present at this
conference, Attorney General Wicker
sham, Chairman Knapp, Commits
lsioner Lane, District Attorney Sins.
of Illinois, chairman of the house
committee on foreign commerce.
With the latter two the president
also took up the "white slave" ques-
ton. Mann is to introduce a bill on
this subject at the coming session of
congress. He believes the govern
ment can prevent the traffic through
its power of control of interstate and
foreign commerce. Mann believes the
government is the only authority
Strong enough TO cope with this evil
His bill provides heavy penalty for
the enticement of woman or a girl
from one place to another for i'm
moral purposes and thereby cause her
to go as a passenger over any trans
portation line engaged in interstate
or foreign commerce.
investigations in Chicago and else
where" said Mann, have disclosed
the startling extent of the traffic in
girls. both within the United States
and from France and other countries.
Most of the American girls are en-
ticed from country homes The po-
lice power exercised by state and
municipal governments is inadequate
to prevent this. particularly when
girls are enticed from one state to
another or from a foreign country.
Sims, himself, has been recon-
mended for the federal bench to sue
coed Judge Bethea, but no decision
on this vacancy has been announced.
Taft's views on amendments to the
interstate commerce law is generally
known since his Des Moines speech
September 90. The conference was
for the purpose of working out the
details of the amendments. II is pro-
posed to establish an interstate COM
merce court of Ave members to con-
slider appeals from rates fixed by the
commission. The president also recon-
mends legislation to prevent one in
terstate railroad from owning stock
in a competing line and the compet-
ing road thus owning stock to dispose
of their holdings. Legislation pre-
venting the over issue of stocks and
bonds and watering stocks will be
one of the strongest recommendations
Taft will make. The presidents prop
osltion being that no stocks or bonds
beissued except by permission of the
interstate commerce commission.

Rosebery Discusses Georges
Budget Before the British
Peers.
Better Let the Nation Taste
SITUATION Is MOST DELICATE

London, Nov. 25.--Lord Roseberry
former Liberal prime minister, in
one of his finest speeches warned the
house of lords that they are running
grave risks If they rejected the bud
get
81 am disassociated from any party
and speak from a sense OF the awful
gravity of the s,tIation. This is the
greatest political m2:nent in the life
time of anybody born since 1892"
Previous 10 TINS year, Roseberry
said the lords had practical control
of the house of commons, but since
then IL was not possible. that the com
mons should enact a budget which
the house OF lords should reject. He
considered that the only possible cir
cumstances justifying the lords in ex-
ercising such domain power would be
the direct authority of the nation it.
SELF. Such circumstances might arise
II budget were presented which low
cred the country's defenses to a point
which the nation considered dan
gerous.
The peers were playing for too
heavy a stake and risking the very
existence of the house of lords
The winning policy. continued the
speaker, would be TO pass the budget
give the country six months expert
ence of its intolerable impositions,
loss of capital and employment. They
would then achieve an election vic
tory that would surprise themselves.
Roseberry added: '"The house of
lords has lived on menaces ever since
can remember and is still thriving.
But the menaces now are used by
men bent on having a single cham
Der. Their efforts are revolutionary
In essence, II not in fact"
Roseberry. who has long advocated
the reform of the house of lords, de-
clared that no final adjustment of
the differences between the house
will ever be obtained without some
form of referendum. Denouncing the
budget strongly Roseberry said that
tilt put uldAiHl uuIHtu INTO tHt toun-
try by bitter experience, was that
there should be no legislation with
out representation.
Disregard for that MAXIM" he
said lost us the United States. and
we are not likely to offend against
II again. He contended that the
budget taxes the lords freely without
their having vote in the matter. He
warned the country that the pressure
of great ornaments was eating out
the heart and hurrying Europe to-
wards bankruptcy.
II is impossible to judge the effect
OF Roseborry's warning, but it is
known that a considerable number of
Unionist peers doubt the expediency
of rejecting the budget and many
will not vote.
The commons will adjourn tomor-
row until Wednesday when Premier
Asquith will explain the policy of the
government in view of the anticipat-
ed rejection of the budget.

More Then $50 Bodies We're
Found Which the Rescuers
Could Not Bring TO the
Surface.

Cherry. ILL.,. Nov. 25.-The st.
Paul mine was sealed early this
morning. The fire was gaining such
Roadway that il was thought best to
cut on all air in the shaft. The
mine will probably remain sealed
several weeks.
After more than $50 bodies were
discovered In the st. Paul mine, ef-
forts to carry them to the surface
were temporarily abandoned while
battle begun to check the fire
which again started in the main
shaft.
II the efforts to control the fire
are not successful. early tomorrow
the mine will probably again be
sealed and remain so for weeks, IL
not months.
Today the flames from the fire in
the second vein. $40 feet below the
surface. had swept so feet up the
main shaft. Then the fire was
forced back. Manager Taylor de-
clared that the destruction of the
main shaft is at all times imminent
and with IL the only possibility of
removing the bodies. That no men
survive in the mine now is conceded
even by the most optimistic miners.
The only part of the mine unex-
plored, and in which living men may
possibly be found. is the east work
ing of the second vein at the en-
trance of which the fire is burning
fercely. Twice rescuing parties ven
mred past the fire area, were tenn
porarily cut of by the flames and
rescued with difficulty. No further
attempt to venture into ii will be
made until the fire is extinguished.
That no living man is confined be-
hind the fire, or in any other portion
OF the mine. was the stated conyic-
ton OF all experts here.
Trying to Escape Gases.
IL Is believed the fairs were re-
versed too aoon to permit the men to-
make provisions for safety. No bar
ricade was erected against gases.
