GREAT EASTERN
BADLY DAMAGED
ON LAST MONDAY
Flames Burst From The Battery
Box And Spread Rapidly
To Interior

The perils of modern passenger
transportation were shown on Monday
last when the "Great Eastern" one of
the Norfolk to N. York buses was gut
ted with flames, which originated in
the battery box, and spread rapidly
into the interior of the vehicle.
= Quick work by the driver and the
porter of the coach, who aroused most
of the passengers who were sleeping,
and carried several others to safety,
probably prevented loss of life.
When the flames burst from the
battery box Hugh Kitchens, driver,
made a desperate but futile attempt
to extinguish the blaze, then Joined
Earl Hunter, Negro porter, in arous-
ing the occupants Of the bus.
The interior of the vehicle was re-
duced to a charred mass by the rap
idly-spreading fire, and personal eff
fects and some of the baggage was
destroyed.
Another bus which arrived on the
scene soon after the fire, took the pas
sengers to Philadelphia.
The burned bus belonged to what
is generally known here as the "Short
Line" and distinguished by its red
color, it's luxurious interior apart
ment, and, at night, by it's brilliantly
lighted appearance. It furnished a
quick and most comfortable passage
between it's two termini.

Expresses Belief Tax Pro- gram Will Be Enacted
 at This Session

WASHINGTON, July IT. = Con- fronted by the AAA setback in the courts and Congressional criticism of his foreign trade and tax pro grams, President Roosevelt gave as- surance today he had no intention of taking a backward step. He expressed belief that the farm ad- ministration would continue to function at least until a Supreme Court ruling on the legaOty of the processing taxes; that his tax pro gram should be enacted before Congress adjourns and that trade agreements recently negotiated with Russia and Brazil would result in increased employment in this coun- try.
 The Senate investigators today heard the testimony of R. F. Her ron, bond salesman, that the Asso- ciated Gas and Electric Company had sent several hundred anti utility bills to members of Con- gress signed by names taken from the city directory of Warren, Pa.
 The House Labor Committee ap- proved the bill to establish the 30- hour week, the present child labor amendment and the plan for in dustries sending products in inter state commerce.
