Our train was on the Siding at Dunkirk having stoplied to take care of a hot box and cool th« wheels sufficiently to proceed, although we were not scheduled to stop at the station. -The nejct I knew was a terrific crash which at first, In & dazed way, I though was rough handling from the switching crew.

CONGRESS TO END DISPUTE ABOUT BEER

CASE DECIDED TUESDAY TO BE APPEALED AT ONCE

Supreme Court, However, Will LikeIy Not Have Chance to Render Decision Owing to Action S of Congress.

WASHINGTON, July ,2.— Opinions of the courts and rulings of the country's highest legal department regarding the status of 2.75 beer will within a few weeks amount to naught, as congress is taking the reins in its own hands and is expected to speedily enact a law, defining intoxicating liquor as containing more than one-half of one per cent alcohol. The bill is expected to be ready to report when congress convenes July 8, follow-^ ing a holiday recess,

Pending action by congress "ffie department of justice has made it plain that its interpretation of one-half of one per cent would be regarded as the limit and that makers an$ sellers of any other standard would be prosecuted to the liirit. vcf,f
