Charley Webb, aged about sixty-fiye
was knocked down by anlautomobile OF
the Wiliamsport pike on Tuesday af
ternoon. Mr. Webb was badly bruis
ed up but his injuries are not serious
Mrs. Adkins is in bed as the result OF
her injuries.
They were struck by the automobile
of DR.. G.. NJ. Allison on the hill Just
beyond the farm of T. H. Williams on
the Williamsport pike Mr.. Webb and
Mrs Adkins were in buggy coming
up the hill to Columbia and DR.. AL
lison was going down the hill. At that
point the road is very narrow. When
near the buggy DIR. Allison's brake re-
fused to work and he could not con.
troll the speed of his machine. In the
meantime suspecting danger Mr.. Webb
had jumped from the buggy and was
standing with his hands on the lines
OF the horse.
The automobile came at fair rate
down the hill and the front wheel
struck Mr.. Webb side lick, knocking
him down and throwing him in front
of the horse. When the auto struck
the buggy Mrs. Adkins was leaning
over to take up the lines. The Jar
OF the impact threw her from the
buggy to the side Of the road and quite
painfully injured her.
DIR. Allison stopped the car as soon
as possible and rushed back to ex-
tend all possible aid to the injured.
He stated that he made every effort
to stop the car or to veer it from the
path of danger, but that the brakes
refused to work. He expressed the
deepest regret at the occurrence.
Mr.. Webb and Mrs. Adkins were re-
turning from Jones Valley. in Hick-
man county. Mrs. Adkins has been
there on visit and Mr. Webb, who
is an ex-Confederate soldier, was
bringing her back to her home at Co
lumbia where she resides with her SON.

DR.. Allison stated this morning that I
nothing had ever occurred in his life
that he regretted more. However"
said the Doctor, ut was simply una
voidable. The brakes would not work,
and l could not stop the machine. 1t
was impossible to veer the car from
the buggy without throwing it into
a deep cut. l believe that did every
thing possible to avoid the accident
and just as soon as it occurred I rush
I'd back to the scene and offered what
ever assistance / could render"

PRESIDENT TAFT has appointed
Charles D. Norton, assistant secretary
of the treasury, to be his secretary III
place of Fred W. Carpenter, removed,
but appointed TO be minister to Morocco.
Interest in the appointment is caused
chiefly by the fact that again the presl-
dent has permitted those about him to
choose for him, and the selection OF
Mr. Norton is not due to the president,
but to his advisers in the cabinet and
the Senate. Mr.. Norton is close to
Messrs. Aldrich, Hitchcock, Ballinger
and the uthxs who have exercised SO
powerful an influence in shaping the
policies Of the administration. The
cause of Mr.. Carpenters removal it is
reported in Washington is that he was
too toplofty in his manner to senators
and representatives.

6lST. CONGRESS
SENATE.

When the railroad bill was taken up
today, Senator Adrich was in his seat
ready to assume leadership and hasten
a final vote on the measure. He I'M
mediately began series OF conferences
with all factions, trying TO iron out dif-
ferences and arrange a harmonious ter
mination of the long struggle.
The Sutherland amendment pro-
viding that the Interstate Commerce
Commission must decide within year
whether discriminatory rate for a
short haul is permissible was further
discussed.
A resolution offered by Senator Bur-
ton, relating to the recent increase OF
freight rates was adopted. 1t in
structs the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to send report to the Senate
giving information as to the advance
of rates and furnish one hundred ex-
amples of how the leading commodities
are effected
Senator La Toilette requested that
his resolution expressing the sense OF
the Senate that the attorney general
should obtain an injunction restrain
ing the increase of rates should lie
on the table until tomorrow. He gave
notice that he will then submit some
remarks on the subject.
After great deal of short range dis
cussion Mr.. Sutherland modified his
amendment by accepting the suggestion
of Senator Paynter, that the Interstate
Commerce Commission may extend the
period beyond one year if unable to
reach decision within that time.
The Sutherland amendment was
adopted 81 to q.
An amendment offered by Senator
Bcyeridge permitting telephone com
panies to have franks. was accepted and
adopted.

mittee of whole, adopted into the sun

able the secretary of agriculture to

grinding several species Of cheap north
crn woods into puld for the manufsc-
turc of pulp paper
Representative Mann declared that 1t
was in his opinion possible to utilize
jack pine, paper leaf birch and other
woods for this purpose and that the dis
covery of such method would end the
dependency OF this country upon Can
ada for her pulp wood, and solve the
critical print paper situation which to-
day faces the newspapers of the United
States.

The Railroad Bill.

Washington, June 3.-There are
differences enough between the Senate
and House railroad bills to afford a fine
fighting field for the conference com
mittee that will be charged with the
duty Of finding compromise. Every
conflicting point will have the backing
of Il majority in either the Senate or
House and conference which comedies
the elimination of a provision will be
assured tanning when they return
and confess to their colleagues. Threats
are plentiful enough, as aggressive
statemen declare that if the sections
they fought for are removed from the
bill the conference report shall never
be adopted. Such threats arc often
made and rarely fulfilled but they
generally prcsage Il season of thunder
and lightning. When Senator Aldrich
and Representative Mann clash in the
conference committee the ensuing
sceneSwill be calculated to thrill the on
lockers, who will be the only other
members of the committee.
Barring some eleventh hour amend
ments that will be dropped by the con-
ference committee without much dispute
each of the champions will be strongly
devoted to the product Of his branch OF
the legislative mill. Both the Senate
and House have voted to place tcle-
graph and telephone companies under
the jurisdiction Of the Interstate Com
mercc Commission and have adopted
sections dealing with the practice OF
railroads in charging higher rates for a
shorter than for longer haul.
