About 2o'clock this afternoon,
Frisco switch engine ran down a
team being driven by Gordon abbey,
14-year-old boy, at the Frisco de-
pot here, killing one Of the horses,
damaging the wagon extensively
and bruising the driver up consid-
erably.
Frisco employees stated this after
noon that the boy had been to the
gin, north of the Frisco tracks, with
a load Of cotton and was driving

stated, he apparently did not see
the flagman at the crossing, nor the
approaching engine, which was com

The lad was rushed to local hos

injuries and stated that they were
not of a serious nature.

SEES THREE WAYS
TO BOOM TRADE
c. E. Mitchell, Banker, Says
U. S. Must Have New Deal
With Other Nations.
BY the Associated Press,

ny the AS6Oc10teQ ffeBs.
NEW YORK, October 12.-Three
remedies for restoration Of interna-
! tional trade, without which, he de-
clared, it was futile to hope for the
fullest prosperityin in the United States.
| were brought back from Europe by c.
E. Mitchell, president of the National
City Bank, passenger on the
Olympic. He had been abroad study
ing financial, business and political
conditions.
Certain basic requirements for this
are clear" he said. THE way they
must be found is to establish, first, q
new understanding and comfy be-
tween nations that will limit military
expenditure and open international
trade gates; second, a readjustment of
debts between nations that will in
volve q feasible as well as positive
plan of payment and a very strict en-
forcement Of governmental economies
and balancing of budgets; and third,
a removal, or at least lowering. of
the trade barriers with which nations
are now so generally attempting to
protect themselves. to the inevitable
ultimate collapse of international
commerce"
The banker said he was coming
home impressed as never before with
the fact that the United States oc-
cupies the key position in the carry
ing out of these necessary accomplish
ments.
James Spear, New York banker,
also returned after three months
spent in touring Europe.
Speaking of the European financial
outlook. Mr.. Spear said the repara-
tions payments imposed on "impov-
erished and beaten countries" are be-
yond their capacity to meet.
1T is rather curious to hear
F'renchmen claim that they can not
even pay US the interest on what they
owe us, when at the same time they
declare Germany is able to pay about
ten times the amount Of the principal
of their debt" he added. Mr.. Spear
said he thought the. problem of
stabilizing foreign currencies, espe-
cially the German mark. and collect
ing what foreign nations owe it, was
the most important Question for the
United States to approach.
