When He Lest Life
n. n. Allen, n. senior student nt
Prinratnn University, whose home Is
in Wichita Falls. Kan., was killed
early this, morning In an automobile
acclden'. near the New jersey univer
sity tern, en the way home from the
Penn-Oerncll football Reme.
A second youth, a Cernell student
who was driving Allen's big touring
car, was found unconscious near the
wreck of tlie machine and taken te the
Princeton Hospital.
The college authorities have net
learned his name.
Allen was dead when the machine
we found, en the Itldge read, between
ingsten and Monmouth Junction, about
four miles from Princeton.
The Cernell student, revived nt the
Princeton Hospital, said that he had
been, driving and had put en the brakes
when he thought he saw an object in
front of the car. The emergency brake
locked, the car, a very heavy and ex
pensive one. skidded and overturned.
Allen was asleep in the rear scut nt
the moment of the accident and ap
parently had no time or warning te
Mve himself. The heavy car, turning
iver wi.h terrific force, imprisoned both
ids. The side of the ear, according
te report at Princeton, struck Allen
across the neck, breaking his spinal col
umn and killing him Instantly.
The driver of the car, imprisoned
likewise, lay unconscious for severnl
hours. The authorities believe the ac
cident must have occurred ut 2 o'clock.
It wns (1 o'clock this morning when
motorist driving along the lonely read
saw the overturned machine, get help,
and lifted it up, disclosing the two in
jured men.
Beth bejs were rushed te the Prince
ton Hospital. The surgeons there said
that Allen had been dead several hours,
and probably had net survived many
moments after the big car crushed him.
The driver of the machine wns restored
te consciousness but held at the hos
pital. He is net thought te be seriously
burt.
The Princeton authorities say thev
think i no Iiiijh lest their way driving
back in 1'ilnceten. At all events the
Cernell man. who was at the wheel,
hail never been ever the rnnd before.
They were several miles off tliir right
reml ;it the time of the accident.
Alan's family were net Hied by wire

bers-clect who assembled, Jlsuvewed all
third-party intentions. The meeting,
he declared, was for the purpose of
agreeing, if possible, upon u Icgitdativ

any who attended, every one being left
free te fellow his own Individual judg
ment when thc program was presented,
en thc fleer of the two house;.

the same effect.
Ne attempt was made te frame Icgls-'
lutien today, but committees were ap x,
pointed en shipping transportation and
rural credits. These committees will

Resolutions Adopted
Thc conference udepted the following
resolutiens: v
"Resolved, that the pregrewivt
minded Senators and Representative T
all parties agree te meet from time te
time and co-operate whole-heartedly in
order te accomplish the fundamental
purpose upon which we nre nil united,
namely :
Te drive special privilege out of
control of Government and restore it
te the people.
Te this, end we will oppose un
ceasingly special interest legislation,
and in order te prepare scientifically
te meet the critical situation that
confronts the Natien, we propose te

of members of the Senate und Heuse,
en-operating with men of affairs and
experts, te prepare nnd submit te this
group for consideration from time t
time during this and the next Con
gress practical and constructive plana ,j
for dealing with the following great ;
subjects; Agriculture, labor, rail
roads, shipping, natural resources,
credits, taxation, amendments te the
Constitution looking te the abolish
ment of the electoral college and the
curlier meeting of newly elected
Congresses.
"In order te restore nnd perpetuate
the control of the people ever their
Government, we propose the Institution
of a nntlen-wide campaign in the vnri-
I Oils Stntea fnt rliriwif illen firlmnt-a '
for all elective efhees, including the
presidency, nnd for effective Federal
und Stute corrupt practices ants."
Moderate Elements Present
The presence of Senators Capper,
Berah and McNury ut the conference
Indicated that thc meeting embraced tbt '
mere moderate elements of the progres
sive group und gave assurance that te
purposes of these who met were prac
tical and that no very rudlcnl program
would come out of the sub-committees.
Senater Ilernh maintained his habit
ual detachment. He arrived ut the

thusiastic. He spent u few minutes
behind the closed doers, during which
be declared that he was with the move
ment if it contemplated a legislativa
