ten miles west of this city.

press messenger on No. SO, was seri-
ously injured, and was taken to the
DeSota sanitarium as soon as he
reached this city ON the special sent
to the scene of the wreck.
The rest were more or less slight
ly bruised and shaken up, but none
seriously injured.
The collision was caused by an
open switch. 1t is reported by the rail-
way officials, trainmen and passen-
gers that an unidentified negro was
seen at the switch a few minutes be-
fore the crash. He is believed to
have turned the switch. He fled to
the woods and has not been seen
since, although a search was made for
him.

20 miles per hour when the crash
came. The fireman and engineer of
the locomotive on No. 81 saw the dan
ger when No. 3S took the switch and
saved themselves by jumping. The
engine crew of No. 80 were unable to
jump. as the accident occurred, with
out warning. Engineer Tom Campbell
reversed his engine, but not in time
to avoid the wreck. s,s,af4 ..s.,s
Assistance Rushed to Scene.

up and sent to the scene of the
wreck. The injured were loaded in

about 11:90 o'clock. Most of them
were sent to their homes. The others
who were more seriously hurt were
taken to the hospitals, where their
injuries were dressed.

SAYS CHAIRMAN SIMMONS, OF
THE SENATE COMMITTEE,
AFTER CONFERENCE.
NO CHANGE ON SUGAR
Finance Committee Sends Schedules
to Senate Practically Without
Amendments to the Original House
Provisions.

Washington, June 3.-Chairman
Simmons, of the sehpte finance com
mittee, after a conference with Pres
ident Wilson today, said that he be-
lieved when the tariff bill is ready for
consideration by the Democratic eau
Gus next week, cattle, wheat, meats
and flour very probably will be on
the free list.
1t had been reported that the SUBJ
committee in charge of the agricul-
tural schedule had determined to put
nominal duty on meats and flour
in order to equalize them with the
free cattle and wheat, but Mr.. Sim
mons declared after his talk with the
president that he expected both the
raw material and the finished product
to be free. He declined to say wheth-
er the change had been made at the
instance of the president or senators.
He. said that the bill would be consid-
cred by the senate caucus all next
week, and he reported out of COM
mittee the following week.
Simmons Hurries to Capitol.
Immediately after his conference
with the president, Chairman Sim
mons hurried to the capitol, where
the subcommittee, considering the
agricultural schedule, was waiting.
Il am going into the meeting to
move to put wheat on the free list"
.oi1 M nny,- Iotf I'm
what the committee will do with it.
Practically without change, the
wool and sugar schedules, as they
passed the house, are expected to be
senate financ committee by the SEN
ators who have had them under con-
sideration more than month. f
President Wants Change
Later it was learned that it was the
president who had decided upon the
free listing of raw materials as well
as finished products as the best
means of equalization. 1t was said
that while the sub-committee's recon-
mendations that the finished products
be made dutiable and the raw mate
ria}s free, was reversed at the White
House, it was only after many sena-
tors had expressed, through Chairman
Simmons, their acquiescence. The de-
cision was left to the president.
The prevailing impression was that
the committee would vote to meet the
views of President Wilson and free
lams indicated he was in accord with
that view.

TRUST GETS ATTENTION
AT CABINET MEETING

Washington, June 3.-Practically
the entire time Of President Wilson
and the cabinet at the regular semi
weekly meeting today was given over
to a. discussion of the recent dissolu-
tion of the so-called tobacco trust.
Atty.-Gen. McReynolds has for some
time been conducting preliminary OBJ
servations to determine if the decree
of dissolution had been observed in
its spirit and if in fact, "a tobacco
trust" still existed. 1t was regarded
as significant by some familiar with
the case that the attorney generals
attention to the situation had pro-
gressed far enough to be outlined to
the president and the cabinet.

A NEW DISTRICT >.
!. MAY Be. SECURED | ] !
EDWARDS WILL SHORTLY INTRO
DUcE BILL TO CREATE THIRD
JUDICIAL DISTRICT.

Brunswick attorneys and others are
much interested in the fight being
made by Savannah lawyers for a new
United States court district, with that
that city as headquarters.
. The committee of the Savannah bar
which recently went to Washington
to confer with the members of the
Georgia delegation in congress, have
put their views in the shape of bill.
1t provides that the third district
judge shall live in Savannah and hold
court in the eastern division of the
southern circuit In urging it's adop-
tion they say an additional district
judge in Georgia is absolutely neces-
States court is to be properly and
promptly dispatched
They show there are five divisions
in the northern district and five in
the southern, making ten places
where court must be held by two
judges.
Admiralty practice in Savannah is
greatly impeded and interfered with
because the district Judge lives in Ma
con 200 miles away. By reason of being
the largest naval stores port and sec
ond largest cotton port in the world,
Savannah has much admiralty bust
ness. ro5r r-'
While stating that it would be pre-.
ferable to divide the state into three
judicial districts, the committee
maintains that this is now imprac.
ticable. .

DEMAND CAUSE FOR
THE PRESENT HIGH
PRICE OF BEEF
THE SUPPLY, 1T is STATED, DE-
CLINES AND CONSERVATION is
NOW THE PLEA OF THE Gov
ERNMENT.

Washington, June 3.-The demand
for beef far exceeds the supply and
high prices are the result, says bull
letin issued today by the department
Of agriculture. The shortage in meat
producing sanimals, too, is steadily be-
coming greater.
In the past six years there has been
a decline of more than 80 per cent
in the number of beef cattle in the
United States, according to the de-
partment, and during the first three
months of this year there has been
an approximate decrease of Is per
cent in the number of meat animals
killed under government supervision
when compared with the same period
OF 1912. The department estimates
the number of beef cattle in the Unit
ed States on Jan 1, 1907, at $780,
600, and at the beginning of the pres
ent year at 36,030,O00.
Prices paid for cattle, sheep, lambs
and hogs last year were much higher
than the preceding year.
THE year 1922 says the depart
ment, was year of high prices for
all classes of food animals" With
the diminished production in the
home market the department declares
there is no longer surplus for ex-
port.
THE time has come" it says,
when We must conserve our meat
