SEEK TO RELIEVE
TRAFFIC TIEUP
Representatives of Trunk Lines
Confer on Freight Conges-
ton in New York

New York, Nov. 30.-The presidents
or their representatives. of all the
trunk line railroads running into New
York City met to-day at the Pennsyl-
vanla Terminal, Jersey City, to con-
slider ways and means for relieving
freight congestion which has become
acute during the last few weeks.
The meeting follows the action of
the Pennsylvania and Baltimore &
Ohio yesterday in declaring embargos
on certain forms of export freight and
the conference lent strength to the
report that the railroads will cooper
ate on uniform embargo rules.
The Lackawanna began an embargo
yesterday on various forms of freight
coming into New Jersey terminals.
This affects the shipment of grain
from Buffalo and other Lake points,
as the Lackawanna regulates the grain
movement by restraining the number
of cars at Buffalo.
Although In many cases railroad
men have been loath to discuss present
freight conditions, 1t is known that be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 freight cars
are now at or near New York term
inals waiting to be unloaded. Every
freight terminal in this district has
been running under top speed for sew.
eral weeks. But the number of load.
ed freight cars in yards has increased
so rapidly that three of the trunk
line roads were forced to declare EN-.
bargos and all of the other line.

termined action at once.

terstate' Commerce Commission in az
effort to obtain permission, it wal
stated, for the member railroads tt
extend the privilege of charging de
murrage upon grain while it is lef

The present congestion which is sal;
to be the worst in years, has beer
largely caused railroad men claim, b,

The women were prominent mem
bers Of the Christian Science church.
II IS believed that too hard study of
mental healing, coupled. with worry
over an injured knee with which Mrs.
Kittfidge was suffering, led to the
breakdown.
Dr. Leonard Wood, 5345 Dor
chester according to the police
story, was called to attend the sisters
last Saturday.
He found the women very nervous
and excitable. Mrs Kittridge suffer
ed extreme pain from her knee.
DR.. Wood quieted the women by
talking to them and then called over
two trained nurses. He left orders
for hot pack on the dislocated knee
and, thinking the case a minor one,
went home. E:
About II p. m. he was called on
the phone by the nurses and told that
there was trouble in the Kittridge
pace When he reached the address
the women were running about in the
street partially dressed because the
nurses had insisted upon applying
the hot pack, although the sisters de-
clared it was against the rules of a
Christian Scientist to be treated with
medicine.
Wood went into the house. Miss
Stephens cried: You are Error; 1

HITCH IN BIC LOAN
War Munitions Purchase Proves
Bone of Contention.
Visitors Demand Freedom to
Buy What They Please.

New York, Sept. 1S.-The two par
ties to the negotiations looking to the
creation of a mammoth credit loan
here to Great Britain and France met
in secret again today in an effort to
adjust their differences over this ques-
ton:
Shall the big credit provide funds
for the payment of munitions of war
as well as wheat, cotton and other
commodities, or shall separate and
distinct method be adopted in settling
the bill for rifles, shrapnel, war auto
mobiles, aeroplanes and other items
coming under the meaning of the word
munitions?
The Anglo-French financial com
mission. which is conducting negotia-
tionS in behalf of Great Britain and
France, is said to want the credit to
take care of munitions
The American bankerS-or what
appears to be majority of thcm-ap-
parently do not. In their camps, how
ever, there is marked division of
opinion.
Upon the following things both par
ties are said to have reached an agree
ment:
The life of the loan, which is to be
five years, or ten years, as may be
deemed advisable later.
The form of the bonds, which are
to be first lien (first mortgage) bonds
on Great Britain and France, Jointly,
The collateral, it having been
agreed that there shall be no collat-

Mrs. Marie Wilbur of 1881 West

when the racing car crashed through

She was standing about two yards
back from the wire at point where
the car came through. In the jam
she was pushed back to a motorcycle
and was caught between it and the
onrushing machine. Mrs. Wilburn
was not struck squarely by the Ajax,
but her foot was caught in the ma
chine and was badly crushed. In ad-
dition to that she sustained severe
bruises.

badly bruised all over her body.
Both Mrs. Sipes and Mrs. Wilburn
were carried to the Wilbur home, To-

oner, attended to their injuries.
Mrs. Sipes and Mrs. Wilburn were
resting fairly we'll at the Wilburn
home today.
Albert Scott, who was directly in
front of the plunging automobile
when it went through the fence, was
the most seriously injured of any, yet
he was a plucky youngster. Although
almost senseless with pain he was able
to whisper to the firemen who car
ried rim to the emergency hospital his
name and ask for his mother. Albert
Patten, general manager of the To-
peka Street Railway company, took
Mrs. Scott to the st. Francis hospital,
where her son was taken.
Excitement Over Scene.
The accident happened so quickly
that thousands of the people in the
stands and packed around the track
did not realize what had happened.
When the realization did come several
women tainted in the grand stand and

All excitement was over in about
thirty minutes, however, and the peo-
pie settled back to witress the re-
