Some Are Shaken Up, but

The owl Express" of the New York

the Grand Central Station Mt 7.O5 yes-
terday morning, was partly thrown from
the rails in the cut at 55th street and
Park avenue. and II was several hours be-

hurt though the electric motor and the
baggage car fell from Track dis

and the front wheels OF the first sleeper
left the track baggage car caught
fire from 81 cult before the power
was cut on as almost entirely de-

The train left Boston at ! n. m. 1t was
composed entirely OF sleepers, and there
were more than two hundred passengers
either half dressed or asleep when the
accident occurred. When the train stopped
and the passengers saw smoke arising
from the burning baggage car there was
a near-panic. Many Of the passengers
dressed hurriedly and endeavored to leave
the train They were cautioned not TO do
so. however. until the flremen came and
let down ladders Then a few OF the
passengers assembled to the street where
they remained until the excitement was
over.
Just what caused the accident none Of
the officials OF the railroad would say yes

left the track motor crews are not per-

JOKER UPSETS CANAL BILL
Admits Foreign Built Ships to
CoastWise Trade.

Washington, Aug. After a most de-
termned fight had been MADE 70 pre-
vent foreign built ships from entering the
American coastwise trade through amend
ment 10 the Panama Canal bill. the dis
covery was made tonight that such pre-
vention has been blocked by what ap-
pears to be juggling with the text o. the
bill after It had been voted upon In the
Senate
John Sharp WiiHams's amendment. IN
tended 10 admit foreign built ships 10
American registry, II engaged only in the
foreign service, as voted upon, read:
That all legal prohibitions upon the
American registration Of foreign built
ships for foreign trade are hereby re-
pealed. provided the ships are exclusively
Of American ownership"
The words "for foreign trade" were
vital in this amendment. which was
adopted August S.
As enrolled End printed Tor the use IL
the conferces, this amendment st,Lstl-
tutes for tina words FOR foreign trade
the words built 10 engage only IN for
eign trade"
Lawyers. representing shipblldlug COM
panies, to-day pointed out that under the
general navigation laws any ship holding
American registry can surrender q Tor
American enrolment and then engage IN
the coastwse trade. They emphasize the
fact that the words built 10 engage" re-
lates only to their original construction
and not the ultimate business ia which
they may be engaged. There is nothing
in the language Of the amendment as II
now appears that they shall engage only
in the foreign trade, as Mr.. Williams aud
other Senators intended.
The people who would be benefited by
this change Of wording arc foreign ship
owners and others who. Ike the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, under other
provisions of the bill, have been kept out
Of the. cOastwise trade. and II railroad
owned out Of the canal entirely.

DEMOCRATS IN TEMPER
Angry at President, They Block
Adjournment Plans.
DUE TO COMMERCE COURT
House Leaders Determined Ia
Hold Congress Together to
Defeat Taft's Wishes.
DUE TO COMMERCE COURT
From The Tribune Bureau. !

| Washington. Aug. 1.-THE obstinacy ~
House members who insist that the an
preparation bills shall carry executive
riders effectively blocked to-day the
plans for an early adjournment Of Con.
gress. The House leaders now say ed.
| tournment is impossible Saturday, Of
even within the next two weeks. and that
the session may drag along into Septeur
| Der.
Tho shift in plans is ascribed by TIA
Democrats to the determination Of th3
President 10 veto the legislative, exsol.
tive and judicial appropriation bill which
carries riders aboishing the Commerop
Court and providing a seven-year tenure
| for civil service employees.
Chairman Fitzgerald OF the Appropria.
ton Committee went to the White HOUSE
to-day, lost his temper and returned
! breathing defiance. He announced thar
resolution would be prepared extending
1919 appropriations for two additional
weeks, from August Is TO August 81. Th6
! House, he asserted, would not back dowf
on its proposition to abolish the CONF
merce Court.
| on his return to the House Mr. Fitz.
gerald declared all early adjounment
plans were off. and IN this view Repre-
sentative Underwood and other Demo-
cratic leaders practically concur. tbs

Fitzgerald. Burle on. Johnson and other

Until to-day these members considered
the scheme OF Indirectly abolishlng tie

discovered that this would not workt
that the court would still be IN existence,
that shippers would have the right 70 ap.
peal TO 1t. and that the Judges and en-.
ployes OF the court would have the righ.
, to enter suit IN the Court OF Claims tc-
their salaries, so long as the statue
creating the Commerce Court remained
unrepealed.
II is probable the House Will Yield 70
the President on the seven-year tenure
provision, but Mr.. Fitzgerald and Ma
Johnson emphatlcally assert the Hous.
will never yield on the Commerce Cout
clause.
Some OF the leaders who are anxious
TO get back to their districts. TO loos

Mr.. Underwood TO consent 10 a conti1a'

TAFT FIRM ABOUT VETO
Will Protect Civil Service and
Commerce Court.
Fro1n Thc Tribune Rureau. ]

Washington, Aug. 12.,The President
stood firmly to-day on his determination
10 veto the legislative. executive and ju-
diclal appropriation bill because OF the
two Objectionable features-the seven-year
tenure clause affecting government en-
ployes and the provision abolishing the
Commerce Court. Chairman Fitzgerald
Of the House Appropriations Committee
urged him TO approve the measure, de-
claring that Congress was strongly OPP
posed to the Commerce Court, and would
either pass the appropriation bill over
his head or pass special legislation abol-
ishing the court, If he vetoed the meas
ure, or simply let it die by not appropriate
ing any money for Its continuance. Mr..
Fitzgerald also argued that a veto Of this
measure meant a prolonged session Of
Congress.
ed 10 sign Objectionable measures because
Of the prospect OF a long drawn out ses-
sion. or of the possibility that they may
be passed over his veto. He made his
position clear In his conference with Mr..
Fitzgerald to-day.
II was lntlmated, following the confer
ence. that If the President would recede
from his position on the Commerce Court
provision Congress would compromise to
the extent Of passing the legislative bill,
when It is returned with the Presidents
dlsapproval, minus the seven-year tenure
clause But there Is little doubt that the
President will be party to any such com
promise. lie takes the position that this
is hasty legislation. that the Commerce
Court has not had fair trial, and that
he will not sign any bin legislating II out
Of existence.
The President has not begun work on
the legislative veto message, but hopes
TO do so tomorrow. His message vetoing
the metal bill will be submitted to the
Cabinet at Its meeting tomorrow MORN
Ing The legislative veto message will also
come UP for discussion at to-morrow's
meeting.

u. S. DOING A BIG THING
London Newspaper Recognizes
Value of Canal, but

London, Aug. 13.--"The Daily Chroni-
Gle" commenting editorially to-day on
the Panama Canal bill as passed re-
Gently by the American Senate. agrees
that if the term "coastwise shipping
were more strictly limited preference
to such shipping. though in conflict
with the text Of the Hay-Pauncefotc
treaty, would be practically unobjec
tionable. After expressing the hope
that it will not be necessary to carry
the matter to the Hague tribunal, the
newspaper says:
The United States is doing great
thing for the world in constructing the
Panama Canal. It would be a pity for
its credit to be furnished by any sem
blance OF sharp practice or verbal eva
sion of its promises"
The Times" in a special article. dis
cussing the effect of the Panama bill
on British shipping, says that If the
measure in its present shape becomes
law 1t will prove little short of dis
astrous TO the British ship owner. on
the other hand, however it will give a
tremendous impetus of the American
shlpbuiding industry.
With the best brains and energy de-
voted to shipbuiltiing, the article says.
the United States will turn out vessels
on wholesale scale, and. aided by
freedom from canal dues, there is lit
tie to prevent Americans from enter
ing successfully all trades in which the
British ship owner now is the principal
carrier, while the latter. handicapped
by those dues. will compete in vain.
