He Is Thrown Out-Seri-
ously Injured


d. w. Davidson, a driver for the Amer
lean Bakeries-Candy company, was seri-
ously injured yesterday morning about
8 O'Clock when the wagon he was driving
was struck by a Tidewater car at Six
tieth street and Second avenue Accord
ing to accounts of the accident the in
jured man was driving in the middle of
the car tracks. The car was about seven
minutes late, having been delayed at the
East Lake substation, and the motorman
evidently thinking the driver would get
out of the way, blew shrill blast of his
whistle and maintained his speed. The
car was about 30 feet from the wagon
when the motorman threw on the emer-
gency air brake and reversed his car,
giving the passengers a violent shak-
ing-up.
The wagon was completely demolished
and was thrown with such force against
"a telephone pole that the pole was
broken about eight feet from the top.
The driver was thrown perhaps 80 feet.
He was unconscious when picked up by
Warner K Smileys ambulance and had
not recovered consciousness when the
ambulance reached st. Vincent's hospital.
He was $ut over both eyes, the back of
his head was badly bruised and 1t is be-
lieved he Is injured internally. 1t was
said last night at the hospital that he
had regainet his senses and was resting
easily. 1t is believed he will recover.

WADUCT MEETING
AGAIN POSTPONED
Patience of Commissioners
Said to Be About
Exhausted

Following receipt of telegram from
railway company officials, Commissioner
Weatherly announced yesterday that the
conference over the First avenue VIA
duct had been again postponed. The corr
ference was to have been held today, and
1t has been postponed until March 4.
Although Mr.. Weatherly nor any of the
other commissioners would say nothing in
regard to this feature of the case, it is
generally believed that the patience OF
the commissioners in this matter has
about reached the end. This conference
has been postponed several times by the
railway officials and the viaduct PROPOSE
ton itself has been pending from one
"postponement'' to another for the past
several years.
The commissioners are silent, but city
hall rumors are that they will not be so
much longer as regards this proposition.

DAVIES DISCUSSES
MONOPOLY ISSUE
Bureau of Corporations to
Take Up Trusts, Their Eff
ficiency and Reforms

Washington, February ao.-Does the
monopolistic system contain in itself the
seeds of its own decay?
That question Commissioner Joseph e.
Davies of the bureau of corporations de-
clared. in his annual report made pub
lie today, a federal investigation now un-
der way hopes to answer
In a review of working programme for
the bureau Commissioner Davies points
out that aside from an economic study of
the trust question, retail price mainten-
ance is one of the questions to be taken
up. Trusts, their efficiency and reforms,
however, are to comprise the principal
work for the coming year. The need of
some federal body for the purpose OF
investigation and publicity In trust af-
fairs, whether it be the bureau of cor
porations as now organized or COM
mission as proposed in tho pending ad-
ministration bills in Congress, Commits
soner Davies emphasized.
In his report he discussed the monopoly
question at length, saying in part:
''Tht question is whether the trust form
OF organization is really efficient. If it
be found tina. smaller competitive units in
industry can produce commodities more
chez ply, or even as cheaply, as monopo-
listlc units, and that they have other and
greater advantages than those claimed
for the nonopolistic or trust system, then
the problem is finally settled In favor of
the competitive system and the chief ar
gun ent for the regulation of monopoly is
destroyed. This is scientific question
of fact, and 1t Is the plan of the bureau
to investigate this question.
while from governmental point of
view there are various aspects of the
trust question which are of great impor-
tance. sue has the relation of trusts to
popular government and their effect on
the social and economic conditions of
labor, there are two aspects of it which
are peculiarly within the domain of the
bureau, namely, the effect upon the cost
OF production and distribution and the
effect upon the price to the consumer.
1T is contended by some that with the
increase in the size or industrial enter
prisas there goes a reduction in the cost
OF extraction, manufacture and distribu-
ton, and that such reduction in cost is
accom- panied by lower prices to the con-
sumer and does not involve reduction In
wages or an impairment of the conditions
of labor"

particularly anxious to trade any
good players for Ford. Farrell said
Ford was not worth the $500 a year
the New York club was paying him
and that he had several rows with

Ford did not want to do his share
of the pitching.
