IN AUTO CRASH
Ice Cream Truck Demolished
in Collision on Girard

DRIVER'S LEG BROKEN
One man was killed and another seri
ously Injured at noon today Thcn an auto
mobile truck, tho property of the Breycr Ice
Cream Company, Ninth and Cumberland
streets, crashed through a stone fence rail
on the Girard avenue bridge and dropped to
tho East River drive, forty feet below. The
tv, o-ton bulk of lco cream and lco In the
machine was scattered about the drlo for
some distance. The cream burst from "the
cans and the many colors blended with the
green bushes along the road
The dead man Is Reginald Worthlngton,
twenty-one years old, of 909 West Arizona
street, whose chest was crushed by the fall.
He died In the Lankenau Hospital an hour
after being admitted. The Injured man,
James Mollhone, 924 West Cumberland
street, who was driver of the car, suffered
a broken right leg and severe contusions
and lacerations of the body. His condition
Is serious.
The cause ot the accident as given by
Sergeant Koch, of the Park Guards, Is
that the machine, which was going west
on the bridge, tried to avoid another auto
mobile going In the same direction, and
after the Breyer machine had passed the
other, it seemed, he said, that the two
men had an argument and the steering
wheel was detached, therefore causing the
accident.
The machine was wrecked and the traffic
on the drive was held up for more than
half an hour until the wreckage could be
cleared.

k WASHINGTON, July 7
The drys won another Mctory In the
prohibition fight this afternoon when tho
Senate refuted to modify the Cummins
amendment prohibiting the withdrawal
from bond and the Importation of distilled
spirits by a oe of 45 to 38. The Senate
rejected the Reed amendment authorizing
the President to permit the withdrawal of
liquor In bond It the public Interests re
quired A few wets allied themseUes with the
drys and voted against the amendment
partly because they feared ltwould com
plicate the Issue nnd partly .because .they
did not wish Congress to dodge the re
sponsibility and "pass the buck" to the
President.
The vote came as. a cjfrrlax to an hour
and a half of the sharpest debate the
Senate has heard for weeks.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the Fi
nance Committee, uho has charge of the
SI, 670,000,000 revenue bill, made strone
plea for sidetracking. the whole prohibition
Issue during the war, although he said he
faored the prohibition of use of foods In

"I have been through many prohibition
fights," he said, "and I know that nothing
could stir up so much dissension In this
country while' we are at war.
"It Is unwise from every standpoint;
from the standpoint of patriotism and the
standpoint of the conduct of the war.

will be sent to the relief of the capital as
was the case In the Boxer uprising.
Already small detachments of American

but the railway congestion Is so great that

LONDON. July 7.
The largest number of German airplanes
that have cer raided London dropped
bombs over the city today. Twenty ma
chines were seen The damage and cas
ualties from their bomb have not yet been
announced, but judging from the general
alacrity with which Londoners sought their
cellars, the losses will probably be reduced
oer previous ones
Apparently profiting bv their poor aim
In previous raids, due to the great height
nl which the boro were released, today's
German nlr pirates flew ery low. They
were plainly seen from the street. This
was In direct contrast to the great raid
of June 13, when the sixteen German raid
ers fiew nt such a great height that they
were virtually Invisible
The curiosity of Londoners, heretofore
responsible for many deaths because of a
rUFh to the streets to gape nt the Invaders,
has now worn off It was noticeable that
as soon ns the sound of the nntl-alrcraft
guns was heard most nf the populace hur
ried to their cellars. The peppering of the
guns firing at the Germans gave ample
warning of tho raid
Lord French, commander-In-ohlef of home
defense forces, made the preliminary an
nouncement early today, but without giving
details
Previous to this announcement of the
London raid Lord French had Issued a
statement saving
"At 9.30 this morning hostile aircraft In
considerable numbers and In tno parties
nave Deen signieu on me isle of Thanet and
the east coast of Kssex "
The raid on London occurred at 10:30.
"The enemy aircraft approached London
from the northeast and proceeded north and
west," Lord French stated "They crossed
Lonuon rrom the northwest to the south
cast, dropping bombs at various places"
This Is the first raid over London Itself
since tho big one of June 13 On that date
sixteen German airplanes killed 157 per
sons and Injured 432 the lartyst casualtj
list of anv such -raid since the start ot the
war. There have been other raids since that
time over nssex and other coast counties,
but none of the aerial visitors reached Lon

FACES REICHSTAG TODAY
AMSTERDAM. July 7.
German Imperial Chancellor von Beth-mann-Hollweg
Is to announce Germany's
adherence to the principle of "no annexa
tions and no Indemnities" In a speech he Is
expected to deliver at the Reichstag meeting
today.y according to reports received here
Germany, it was indicated, looks to the
speech as affording immediate opportunity
for opening of peace negotiations
The Chancellor. It was Indicated, has long
supported the "no annexations, no Indemni
ties" principle, but because of opposition of
other governmental forces has made no an
nouncement of this stand. The fact that all
opportunity of a separate- peace with Russia
seems now to have failed has Impelled the
German Government to decide on new peaco
announcements.
The term "peace without annexations and
without indemnities" was first agitated In
connection with the German efforts to call
a "Socialist peace conference" at Stock
holm. It was coined, apparently, by Philip
Schetrfpmnnn nnri otht nrn.(1A.....Ki

Russia was strenuously directed to have
the Russians approve Buch a slogan, the
German propaganda system even going so
far as to distort the Russian principle
of "no forcible annexations, no punitive
Indemnities" Into the shorter lorm.
"No annexations and no Indemnities"
would mean In effect restoration of tho
status quo ante In Kurope. Restoration of
the former situation In Kurope, as PresI
dent Wilson has pointed out In his Memo
rial Day speech, would merely rtiean that
Germany, through her alliances with Aus

menace the world peace through her Mittel

Thirteen Prisoners Youndj
Women Accused of Denounce

Denunciations of the Stars and Stripes,
the United States Government and th
draft, heard by a police spy concealed be
neath a stalmay, early today brought
about the arrest of forty-nlne persons. In
cluding thlrty-slx men and thirteen womYn,
at a Socialists' meeting at 1535 South
Seventh street Magistrate Baker held
the prisoners In the sum of $1000 each or a
total of $19,000, pending Investigation ..by
the Philadelphia Bureau of Investigation
of the United States Department of Jus
tlcc.
Police action was precipitated when the
Socialists discovered Policeman Joseph Lv
Miller, of the Third and Dickinson streets
station, hiding under a stairway. Swing-
ing chairs and uttering cries of rage, the
Socialists rushed toward the policeman.
Drawing his revolver. Miller held the mob
at bay until the arrival of details from
threo police districts Only four of the
forty-nine persons nrrested were natural
ized, and one of them, Samuel Orchow, ot
2011 South Eleventh street, was arrested
reveral weeks ago by secret service men
for circulating Inflammatory literature, ac
cording to tho police
Sneering remarks were made concerning
the flag, and several wild-looking radicals
shrieked above the tumult. "The draft ta
a game of graft and politics."
Policeman Miller, who understands bpth
Russian and Yiddish, concealed himself late
last night In a place close to the. hall,
where tho words of all speakers could reach
him He says that soon after he arrived
a general discussion topi: 'place In which
many of the persons present denounced the
Government "
FURIOUS AT DISCOVERT
The meeting fairly boiled over with fury
when one of the Socialists discovered Mil
ler's hiding place "Throw him out. of the
window," somtbody yelled, and then things
happened. Vomen grasped hatpins and
men chairs and surged toward the police
man. Miller placed his back' against a -wall
near the stairway and drew his revolver,
menacing the mob with It at every angle.
"I'll perforate the first man who moves,"
he announced coolly.
Then he yelled 'down the stairway to
a passer-by. and told him to notify th
police Inside of fifteen minutes three
wagonloads of cops rolled up from the fol
lowing stations Third and Dickinson,
Fourth street and Snyder avenue, and Fif

point of revo.v'ers the policemen drove
the prisoners down the Btalrway Into th
