Chairman Underwood of the ways and
means committee. contends the United
States is entirely within its rights In the
provisions of the bill against which for
eign nations have protested. The clause
which would grant ii ) per cent. TIA! iff
preference on goods imported in Ameri-
can vessels and which has caused pro-
tests from a number of nations, Under
wood says, is to encourage the building
of American ships and he believes it
violates no treaty.
The French protest is against the pro-
vision that foreign manufacturers and
exporters shall submit their books to
United States agents when demanded.
This clause, Underwood declares, does
not mean that the United States is going
to try to learn the secrets of foreign
manufacturers as it will be used only In
cases where there is reason to suspect
that goods have been undervalued.

Mixed Signals Cause
Head-On Smash.

Quincy, Mass, April pa number
of italian workmen and two paSsen-
gers were badly cut and bruised, to-
day. in a headon collision between an
inbound working train and an out
bound passenger train on the Quincy
brancil of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad near the Brain
tree line.
1t was said that the accident was
due to a misunderstanding OF signals
and q heavy fog. The engine crews cs-
capped by jumping after turning on the
emergency brakes. Both locomotives
were badly shattered, but none of the
ears left the rails.
John Walker, tower signal man at
the Braintree station, said later that as
the work train approached the tower
he called out to the engineer to take
n spur track near the station and so
allow the passenger train to pass.
Through the MISUNDERSTANDING of sig
nails The engineer drew his train to-
ward a second spur track 800 feet be-
vond the station and met the passen-
ger train when within 200 feet of the
switch.
There were about 800 persons on the
two trains.
