o'clock last night while en- route to
Washington, four persons were'f in
jured and several others received
slight bruises and contusions: None
were seriously injured. Three out of
the four persons treated at the Alex
andria Hospital by DR.. S. B.. Moore
left the hospital last night and the
fourth man, w. H. Martin, of Char

were about twelve persons IN the
bus at the time Of the accident.
The bus, in charge of Horace
Cook, was proceeding to Washington
when, according to reports, big
wagon came up and it is alleged it
was without lights. Rather
than strike the wagon Cook
it is stated hugged close to the end
of the road. The bus swerved and
went over small incline causing it
to strike telegraph police and over
turn. The machine went down an
embankment about two or three feet
There was a scramble on the part
of the passengers to extricate them
selves. Aid soon was at hand among
those assisting in the rescue work
being passengers on another bus of
the company which was coming to
Alexandria. The injured were placed
in machines which were passing and
taken to the Alexandria Hospital.
Many of the passengers resumed
their journey to Washington on other
busses Of the company.
The bus was somewhat damaged,
all of the glass in the windows
being shattered. The damaged bus
several hours afterward was brought
to this city to undergo repairs.
Bus No. 26 Of the same company
went down a small embankment at
Braddock, north of this city, at
about the same time last night. The
bus was en- route to this city, No

Every variety of thought is given

of thought is carefully noted. A num-

western nations will destroy each

the ills of mankind, and now it is
bending its energy on the means for
destruction of the races. The great

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

tFrom our Special Correspondent? !.
Washington, Dec. 3.-The bellef is
voiced in both Chinese and japanese
circles that the good offices OF the
heads of the American and BRITISH
delegations will result in settle,
ment, satisfactory to both China and
Japan. of the Shantung problem.
The Chinese are grateful that the
negotiations will be conducted un-
der the auspices of the United States
and Great Britain, while the Japa-
nese are confident that the moral eff
feet of Anglo-American interest in
the solution will cause China to ac-
cept a reasonable arrangement.
It is understood that the japanese
sympathize with the Chinese on ac-
count of the hostility among the
student classes of China to any set
Element with Japan. Failure Of di-
rect negotiations in the past has
been attributed to the clamor of the
Chinese students. 1t is said that ia
pan is willing to return the whole
territory of Kiao-Chow to China, in
sisting that the Kiao-Chow- Tsinaufu
Railway, formerly an entirely Ger
man enterprise. shall be joint Chi
nese and Japanese enterprise.

Federal Road Supervision

Favorable report has just been Or
dered by a Senate committee on a
bill to create federal highway com.
mission that will establish an inter.
state system of public roads The pur.
pose is to establish a commission BY
presidential appointment, each mem.
ber to receive a salary of $4,000 a
year. this rate being provided to en-.
able the government to secure the
services Of men Of high capacity. The
plan is to continue the annual appro-
priation Of 500. 1000, 900 to aid the states
in building roads on the condition that
the sums allocated to the states must
be expended on interstate roads.
Obviously it is necessary, if this
country is ever to develop q system of
roads that will permit safe, comfort.
able travel from state to state and over
long distances. for the government at
least to supervise and coordinate the
road work of the states themselves.
At present some Of the states are much
more progressive than others in the
way Of highway building and main.
tenance, Some are spending large
sums annually and incidentally get.
ting returns on their investment
through increased travel within their
boundaries. Others are making bu,
