early today when a city cnrMn which
he was riding with Jehn II. Neesen,
Deputy Chief of the Bureau of High
ways, and Themas W. Morrison, Dep
uty City .Controller, skidded and partly
overturned at Taber read and -Bread
street. x
Mr. Shuster was taken te the Jewish
Hospital, where his cellar bone, broken
in two places wns set. He was then
taken te his home. He probably will
be unable te return te the office for sev
eral days, and must carry his arm in n
sling for some time.
Mr. Shuster's companions, though
shaken up, were uninjured. A fender
of the enr was se badly bent that it
interfered with driving, and Mr. Nee Nee
eon, who lives near the scene of the
accident, took the car te n garage
nearby.
The three officials had been te a con
tractors' banquet nt the Bellevuc Bellevuc
Stratferd, and left, according te Mr.
Neesen. who wns drivine. nt about a
quarter te 2 o'clock this morning. The
accident occurred about 2:20.
Mr. Shuster in Bed
With Mr. Shuster in bed nt home,
and Mr. Neesen nor Mr. Morrison in
their respective offices this morning, the
accident hnd a mysterious aspect which
set tongues wagging nt City Hall, es
pecially as two City Hall empleyes were
''en the carpet" and later dismissed
following a smnshup in which n city car
was Involved New Tear's night.
Mr. Morrison explained At home that
the car had skidded and gene into the
curb. He-said he was net able te under
stand just hew Air. Shuster was injured,
as ne was net thrown out of trie car.
Mr. Neesen explained the nccldent
mere fully when he arrived at the office
early this afternoon. He hnd gene out
immediately upon his return home, he
said te superintend the work of snow
removal. lie is in charge of street
cleaning, and srtew removal is part of
his job.
"Wc had taken a Mr. Fex, an auditor
In the Controller's department, te his
home nt Thirty-third and Walnut
streets, ' said Mr. Neesen, "and then
went out through the Park te take
'Charley' McCarthy, the old German
town Academy football player, te his
home at Baynton street and Church
lane.
After this wc rnn ever Church lane
te Old Yerk rend and down te Taber
reed te swing into Brend htrcct. At
this point there usually is heavy auto
mobile travel, and te avoid possible
danger of collision, I slewed down, np-
pijing tne toetbrakc.
Street Was Slippery
"There was just enough snow en the
ground te make the street slippery. As
I put en the brake the car skidded
badly, going nbeut fifteen or twenty
yards, then turned completely around
and brought up breadside against the
curb. The machine toppled partly ever,
but did net go ever all the way.
"We nil jumped out. Mr. Shuster
did net knew he was hurt until lip tried
te put his hand in his pocket, when he
had a violent pain in his arm. We took
him te the Jewish Hospital."
J-red (J. Jjuniap, Air. iseesen s chief,
knew nothing of the accident this morn
ing. "Mr. Neesen hnsn't been in I
suppese he is out getting after the work
of snow removal," said Mr. Dunlan.
"If this keeps en," he said jokingly
when told tlic car nan been damaged,
"we'll have te get armored cars. Ne,
I shall net make an investigation be
cause the car was used for this purpose.
I feel that city officials have n perfect
right te go te such affairs ns this ban
quet. It promotes geed feeling between
the city's representatives and the con
tractors." MRS. ROSIER INDICTED

President Harding, if necessary."
Magistrate Renshaw attempted te
make n suggestion, but the witness
would net be silenced.
"I knew what I am talking about,"

"Yeu bring peer souls in here and give

Washington, Feb. 15. Congress
waits upon .Harding. Whnt suggestion
has he te make nbeut disposing of the
bonus? The leaders in both houses will
tr.v te fellow the President, but they are
lenders without followers en the fleer.
It is impossible te see hew n majority
of both houses can be get for nny plan
of providing the money. And If one is,
the President, advised by the Secretary
of the Tn usury, will probably be
against it.
Leader MeiuIqII has the happy
thought of paying tha bonus out of the
savings which will be effected this year.
Secretary Mellen sajs great as the sav
ings maj he, there will still be a deficit
when the ncreunts come te be balanced
up. And se familiar, se habitual n fig-

Te pass the bonus te be paid out of
savings, If tinj. would be te force Mr.
Mellen te borrow. This-might menn Mr.
Mcllen's resignation. Anyway, it would
be likely te Invite'Mr. Harding's veto.
The snles tax is no happier. A canvam
of the Heuse Indicates only ninety-seven
votes that can be counted en for that
legislation.
Would Vete Excess Profits Tax
The farmers and the Democrats will
get together nnd convert the sales tax
into an excess profits tnx. And Presi
dent Harding, if u bonus bill should
reach him providing that form of taxn1 taxn1
tlen, would veto it.
Party authority Is broken down. The
theory that thu President speaks for his
party or for the country is net work
ing. Seme say it is Mr. Hnrding'a
fault, that he does net speak in loud
nnd trumpet tones and command obedi
ence. He spoke firmly enough vestcr-
