A truck owned by the Independence Barrel company of this city figured in an accident yesterday afternoon when it collided with truck owned by Morris Sopshine of 253 East Wash ington avenue, South Norwa1k, in front of the Pequot monument on the Post Road in Southport.
 Accompanying Jacob Fox, driver of the Bridgeport car were his son, Jacob, Frank Render, and John Reeves. All escaped injury but were badly shaken up.
 After the accident the driver of the other truck, thought to be Morris Sopshine, escaped in the woods. The police could give no reason for this act. He will be brought to trial next Monday in Fairfield town court if apprehended.
 Fox stated that he was driving along the Post Road at about 1 5 miles an hour when Sopshine's car going in the same direction tried to pass him but in doing so hit his car a terrific crash causing it to go down a steep bank. Sopshine's car also plunged over an embankment.

 In Blow-Up At U. M. c. Go.
Houses in V Vicinity t y
 Shaken by Roar of De- tonation Last Night.

With a roar that could be heard for blocks around. a illuminate shed on the U. M. c. Go. property sn Barnun avenue, exploded last night causing consternation in the neigh borhood and necessttating the rush- ing of two squadrons Of police to the scene to keep back the crowd or curiosity seekers Fortunately no one was injured. The snocH Of the high explosive shatter-~ scores or windows in houses and stores In the immediate vicinity.
 Officials of the firm were unable to fix the exact cause for the detonatlon but it is believed that the recent warm spell contracting with the gases issuing from the shed was a contrl- butory cause. Officials of the plant were unable to state what the exact loss by the explosion would be.
 Curious crowds swarmed toward the factory after the explosion when the smoke was seen to rise from that direction and it was necessary for a hurry call to be put in to police headquarters for reserves to control order.
 A squad of men under Sergean John F. McGovern was detached from Police headquarters while another was detailed from the Sec ond precinct under Sergeant John Browne.
 The officers soon had the crowd under control and after. assuring them that there had been no casu- altieS they dispersed.

vestigation for Senate FL
nance Committee, Says New
System is Feasible.

The American Valuation plan of
assessing import duties. as provided
in the pending Fordney tariff bill. Is
possible of administration and the only
feasible means of compiling a tariff
that will afford adequate protection
to the American manufacturer, ac-
cordins to ]. B.. Reynolds. former as
sistant Secretary of the Treasury and
now director of valuation investiga-
tons for the Senate Finance Commit
toe.
There is nothing uncanny. nothing
mysterious and nothing at all of a
tremendously unusual or out-of-the--
way nature about American Valua-
tom Mr.. Reynolds says, To-day,
whom imports are brought into this
country they are assessed on the basis
of the value in foreign countries. The
invoice is presented and on that the
importer puts his value.
Invoices Practically Worthless
''These invoiees-to give them all the
credit that they are entitled TON the
average case are worth a little less,
perhaps. a the paper on which
they are printed. Now, I say, that
after a long experience in handling
invoices. and by that l mean that the
certiication that the consul abroad a
to make amounts to nothing. The in
voices go through on the day before
a ship sails; they go into a consular
Office in any part of the world where
there is a large business between that
country and the United States. o
have a perfect string of people filing
In with invoices to get the invoice off
on the next boat with the automatic
affixing of a stamp. 1t Is a matter OF
a clerk signing the consul's name. And
all that It does is to certify that that
invoice Ia on the right colored paper.
is made out in the right legal form,
and nothing else.
There is a proposition now put up
against that. 1t seems to me 1t is n
very simple one. Instead of putting
the duties, assessing the ad valorem
duties which are duties assessed on
the value of goods, on the foreign or
invoice value. the proposition is to put
these duties on the value of the goods
in the United States.
THE value of the goods in the United
States is not an unknown quantity.
1t can be found. All the books, all
the papers of the manufacturers. the
jobbers and the sellers Of every kind.
are at the disposal of the Government.
Prices are known in this country.
We are dealing with an absolutely
known and certain proposition and
the who idea is simply that where
there is an ad valorem rate of duty
on Foods, we do not try to assess this
on TIE foreign alu which is largely
