Eighteen Passengers Escape
Injury at F and Eighth
Streets Northeast.

A large shade tree at the northwest
corner Of sth and F streets northeast
probably saved several persons from
injury about $3.50 this morning when
it stopped Capital Traction car
which had jumped the track and was
headed for the corner building at 72s
F street, used as a residence and
store. The tree was uprooted, but the
car stopped six feet short Of the build
ing after crossing the sidewalk and
making a spectacular entry into the
side yard. None Of it's eighteen pas
sengers was hurt.
T.. +. Garner, motorman, and A. T.
NARROW, conductor. were in charge OF
r street Intersection from the south.
There is a sharp incline at this point.
and, according to the crew, something
went wrong with the air brakes when
they started down the hill.
The hand brake was used and the
motor thrown into reverse, but the car
mad gained considerable momentum
by the time it reached F street. The
switch was thrown into F street and
the car was going too fast to make
the turn.
1t, accordingly. took a diagonal
course across the street; struck the
shade tree. which stood on Sth street,
few feet north of +, and pulled up
abruptly alongside the corner build
ing, which is owned by Samuel Ceas.
The motorman gamely stuck to his
post. Many of the passengers were
children on the way to school, and
they made hurried exodus from the
windows when the car stopped. A
wrecking crew pulled the car back
onto the tracks. The vehicle was badly
damaged.

GARY WOULD SELL STEEL
TO FOREIGNERS ON CREDIT
Also Thinks Americans Should
Pay Cash Abroad to Bring
About Rehabilitation. -

NEW YORK. February 17.-Citing
as an example the readiness Of the
United States Steel Corporation at
one time to extend credit up to $780,
100000. Ebert H. Gary. chairman Of
its board Of directors, urges granting
OF credits to foreign buyers who are
unable to make immediate payments
for their purchases. He urged this
procedure as an aid to restoration
and rehabilitation of foreign COM
merce. At the same time. he stated,
the credit situation could be relieved
materially through cash payments by
American buyers for purchases
The United States Steel Corpora
ton, Mr.. Gary said, has followed this
principle chiefly in transactions with
Canada, Mexico, Japan. China, South
America, and South Africa.
|. Competition. by French and German
steel makers Is little feared, Mr.. Gary
said, there being no possibility Of it
until rehabflftation In both OF those
countries IL complete and their own
needs are met
only the low wages ordinarily
paid to European labor made it pos
sible for foreign manufacturers to
compete in our market" he added.
III they should revert to the low
wage standards a tariff will be neces-
sary to protect American industry
and insure fair competition"

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
 IT ITS death in Boston, at the age Of II1I 82, rescues from comparative ob- = = security for a day, the name of pr. Thcmas Benjamin Doolittle, who origi- mated the telephone switchboard and was among the earliest telephone engineers.
 Doctor Doolittie belonged to a large company of contemporaries who might be termed obscure celebrities; men fa- nous among men devoted to scientific research and invention, but hardly known outside of their own sphere of en- deavor. He possessed a medal from the Franklin institute of Philadelphia for having originated the process of prodnc- ing hand-drawn copper wire. and he is credited with having originated the first car fare registering device. He was a highly practical man whose. life con- ferred definite benefits upon his genera tion and future generations. He lived longer than most men. and was less widely known than the author of best seller.
 : Even the great Lord Kelvin. who lived as long as Dr. Doolittle, was an obscure celebrity. He made so many valuable contributions to physical science and it applications that to enumerate them would be to make a long list of wide- ly known devices of whose origin little is known popularly. The list would in clude the present form of the mariners compass employed wherever ships are navigated. Lord Kelvins personal serv- ices contributed largely to the success of laying the first Atlantic cable. The list of honors bestowed upon him by scientific societies and governments would be about as long as the list of achievements with which his career is associated by scientific men. When his golden Jubilee, as professor of natural philosophy in the University of Glasgow, was celebrated, and 2,0o0 or 30O0 scien- lists. representing all civilized countries. gathered in Scotland to honor him. his name and his position in the scientific world were discovered to innumerable newspaper readers.
 Robert Louis Stevenson declared that too much credit was given to persons who merely write about what others do, and too little credit given to persons who do things. That is not true of 2 military hero. statesman or an actor.
