MAIL TRUCK MEN
NOT EXEMPT FRlOM
ANTISPEED LAW
Government Employes to Be
Prosecuted Under Pro
posed Ordinance
COUNCILS TO ACT TODAY
Drivers of Urtcd Stntes mail trucks will
pot be exempted from tho pr6vislons of the
.ordinance regulating automoblto tradlo
which has been drafted by Mayor Smith
and city offlclals for Introduction to Coun
cils this afternoon. Tho fact that they
operate Government ehlcics ylll not nffect
their liability to punishment for violation
of municipal regulations. Tho frequency of
fatalities to victims of mall trucks during
the past few days has stirred the city
authorities to make rigid Investigation of
the manner In which these vehicles are
driven through much-traveled streets. The
result has been to show that tho excuse of
the drivers, that closo schedules have to bo
Maintained, Is not warranted by the postal
regulations, and In the matter of tho parcel
post there Is no occasion whatever for ex-
cessivo speed.
Tho number of persons killed by mall
automobiles Is declarod by the authorities
to be out of all proportion to the number of
luch vehicles, and to bo duo. In great part,
to the recklessness of tho drivers, who pre
iume upon their Government service a3
license to disregard local speed require
ments. Soveral drivers aro now under
arrest'as a consequenco of theso fatal acci
dents, and District Attorney Itotan Is deter
mined that they bo held to tho same liabil
ity as would be tho case with privately
employed chauffeurs. While the Government
cannot be sued for damages In a civil action
without Its assent, Its employes enjoy no im
munity from prosecution for their Indi
vidual criminal nets.
Out of tho situation that has been created
In the killing of SI persons by automobiles
this year, these threo things probably will
happen:
Pedestrians will bo forbidden to
cross the street except at the regular
crossings. To cross in tho middle of a
1 block will be a misdemeanor and pun
ishable; the Havana Idea of punishing
any one who thU3 gets hurt by a street
car or motor vohlclo may bo Invoked.
Councils will pass an ordinance mak
ing more stringent tho rules as to speed
limit, parking privileges, etc. Tho
(peed limit may come down to eight
miles, the parking privileges to 30
,. minutes.
)' The Legislature will bo asked to
provide power whereby the city may
require a chauffeur's examination, and
also power to speedily revoke a license
for recklessness.
L - This was agreed on last night when
Battle Mayor conferred with Director Wll
Jfkton and Flnanco Committee Chairman
p&t Gaffney.
j&t An ordinance embodying these various
J points will be Introduced In Councils this
'I afternoon. The Mayor will personally make
'the appeal to Harrisburg for extended
power. He, too, Is In favor of curbing tho
pedestrians as well as the chauffeurs; he
realize! it Is not a one-sided proposition by
any means.
P. B. Frazler, superintendent of malls in
this city, took occasion at this tragedy to
auswer the storm of criticism that has been
hurled at his department because ot the
recklessness of mail chauffeurs.

Evenlna Ltdaer Staff Correspondent
ST. LOUIS, Juno 15. Pennsylvania
have "taken tho bull by the horns" and aro
endeavoring to havo tho Democratic Na
tlonal Convention adjourn Friday morning
William A. Glasgow, Jr., of Philadelphia,
has been elected chairman of tho Hulei
Committee, which has almost arbitrary
power when it comes to ruling about ad.
Journment, nnd Glasgow Is working hand
in glove with A. Mitchell Palmer on tho
problem. Palmer, vtho Is tho Pennsylvania
member of the Resolutions Committee,
which is drafting the Democratic platform,
put up a strong fight In tho meeting of the
Resolutions Commltteo last night to force
a night session tonight.
Palmer and other Wilson leaders wnnt
to have tho platform adopted at about
8 o'clock tonight, Wilson nominated a llt
tlo later, and tho vlco presidential tight set
tled shortly after midnight. Tho other busi
ness of the convention would forco a con
tinuous session until about 8 or 9 o'clock
tomorrow morning, when final adjournment
could bo taken.
STONE OPPOSES PLAN.
Senator William J. Stone, chairman of
tho Resolutions Committee, is fighting
Palmer and Glasgow on the adjournment
question. Tho St. Louis hotels want the
convention to hold over until Saturday,
and Senator Stono is trying in every way
to bring this nbout. It Is a foregone con
clusion, however, that tho platform will
be adopted as it Is reported from commlt
teo and that Wilson nnd Marshall will bo
quickly nominated. Palmer and Glasgdw
aro figuring on the possibility of the con
vention's not having a quorum when It
might meet on Saturday, and aro striving
to avert such a calamity.
The fight over adjournment Is the first
outcropping of internal dissension that has
appeared during tho convention. Tho
Pennsylvanlans will probably win, how
ever, as nearly a majority of tho dele
gates havo made reservations to leave St.
Louts tomorrow afternoon.
Senator Stone has one strong argument
In the unit rule, which has been adopted
by most of the delegations. Under tho unit
rule of voting only the State chairmen
need remain on the Job and vote their del
egates In blocks.
MUST HAVE DEMONSTRATION.
The possibility of a demonstration In
favor of Wilson and Marshall, however,
nearly offsets this advantage. With most
of the delegates absent and St, Loulsans
filling their seats In tho convention on
Saturday the cheer leaders of the conven
tion would have no assurance that a pro
longed demonstration In favor of Wilson
would occur.
Palmer today discussed the situation
frankly.
"Senator Stone has called a meeting of
the Resolutions Committee for 8 o'clock to
night," he said. "That would make ad
journment tomorrow morning Impossible.
Tho StvLouls hotels are trying In every
way possible to have the convention last
until Saturday. Tho platform Is pretty
well shaped up, and can be reported at
about 8 o'clock tonight If the Resolutions
Committee holds Its meeting this after
noon, as I suggested last .night. That
would bring the nomination of'Wllson about
at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, the nomi
nation qf the Vice President a few hours
later, and with other business that will be
before the convention, adjournment could
be taken at 8 or 9 o'clock tomorrow morn

MOTORTRUCK ASSOCIATION MEN
HAVE DAY OF FUN AT OUTING
Members Forget Business of Making Money and Enjoy
Life in Country, With Many Attractions
on Program
Whatever tho members of tho Motortruck
Association of Philadelphia aro doing today.
It's an even bet that thcy'ro proud of what
they did .yestcrdny. They found that thoy
could still get away from business and
prosperity nnd go out nnd enjoy Ufa In tho
country ns If nothing mattered but fun.
Tho 1G0 of them went oer to Camden
and thero drove for tho plko which took
them down to what Is happily known ns
Kugler's Roost at Mohican on tho Delaware
Oor thoro men forgot they over mado any
monoy, nnd Just let themselves loose and
enjoy themsehes.
Theyycertalnly had n grand time.
".Ad" Convtay proved be was tho superior
all-around athlete. Ho attributed It to his
oxpcrlcnco selling Garford trucks. Leo
Kastman. who mnnagc3 the Packard
Jiranch, turned out to bo tho Connlo Mack
of tho bunch, and II. P. Schnde, of tho
Bearings Company of Philadelphia, showed
as great batting nblllty ns "Cy" Morgan.
From tho time tho first heat of the potato
raco started until George Grnhnm rang tho
bell on tho sixth nnd Inst round of the
prizefight thero was not a minute that tho
whole bunch were not enjoying themselves.
Formality was kicked out tho back door
as soon nt the men donned white ovcrnIK
Tho only regret attached to tho wholo
affair was that "Ted" Jackson, the Aladdnn
of tho New York and Philadelphia branches
of the Packard shops, nrrlved In town too
lato to enjoy but the tag-end of tho outing
Fred Browning beat Leo Hastman In a
specially arranged race, and then the Pack
ard man turned around and piloted his ball
team to n 14-13 victory over that captained
by George Graham. Then, to continue tho
triangle, Ginhnm was tho centre ot attraction-
at the dinner tnblo in his capacity ns
master of ceremonies,
Tho Commltteo on Entertainment, who ar
ranged tho wholo bill, was presided ovor
by It. E Chamberlain, of the Garford Truck
Company. It was lie who planned tho fnt
men's race. In which Doollttlo, of the Plcrco
Arrow, broke tho tape first; it was ho who
finished second In tho same race, beating
out Rider, of tho Glbney Tiro Company, for
third It was Chamberlain who indirectly
furnished tho biggest laugh of the outing
with the pig, tho next biggest lnugh with
the Jockey race, and tho ono after that
with tho wheelbarrow raco Roth and
Smith finished first In tho Jockey raco, with
Duvall and Rogers second, while O'Neill
and Dlank beat out Doollttlo and Brndburn
In tho barrow race. In which spills were
Just frequent enough to add a thrill to
the contest.
"Let a potato fall from your basket and
you're disqualified," warned Judge Bonnl
well at the beginning of the potato race.
Which was not sufficient to stop "Bill"
Weber, Braelburn. of the Goodrich force,
nnd Kreps, of Kelly-Springfield, from finish
ing in win, place and show order, "Ad"
Conway won the second heat of the raco,
but Juggling of the potatoes was a now Job
to him and he didn't finish In the money In
the final heat.
Eastman, Doollttle, Chamberlain, Con
way, Schade were not the only ones to
placo the outing In a class that outdis
tanced previous similar occasions by quite
some centimeters. W. II Metcalf, of the
Ilaupt Wire Wheels Company, was con
siderably In the foreground
When "Muggsy" Tnylor stepped Into the
space between the tables at the conclusion
of tho dinner nnd said. "Gentlemen, this Is
So-nndSo (I will lorgct these fighters'
names) nnd this Is Ko and-So. They both
will fight," tho crowd cheered Of course,
tho fight was not especially appealing. As
Mister Robert Maxwell would say they
wero n couple of guys who confined their
actions to thoughts. Let 'cm off easy,
bojs, they did tho best they could Neither
tho gentleman In tho pea-green tights nor
tho gentleman In tho emerald green tights
received nny consldcrnblo ndvnntngo over
tho other.
Gcorgo Graham was n clever toastmastcr.
His presentations to "Ad" Conway nnd the
other nthletes were received with npplauso,
heightened when "Fied" Browning gouged
from him n boxful ot mysterious appliances
What they wero tho diners know not;
"Fred" said ho was well acquainted with
their usage.
Knowing which, tho members of tho asso
'elation motored homo satisfied.
