Few of the details of the accident, In which several of the friends arc be lieved to linye been injured, were avail able to tho family last night. Mrs. Robert Crawford, her mother, left for Hoston nt noon yesterday, after getting word of the nccldcnt. Miss Crawford, who was twenty-five years old. was an employe of the Col lector of Internal Revenue in the Post office Building. Today a letter was received from her nddn-sseil in "Prli.mU. .MK Tiv.Wnl iHiillding." It came not long after her fellow employes had heard the new. ino gins in tiio office cried when they found the note and one of their number rend it aloud to them. Miss Crawford told of th'e successful start of her trip nnd wished her frlejids as hnppy a vacation as she was hnvlng. She chatted hopefully in tho letter about returning when tier two weeks were over, rested and ready for n year's good hard work.

Miss Crawford was well known in this city and par ticularly in Lansdowne. She wns de bited to athletics mid had played on tho girls' baseball teams and hockey teams while attending the Friends' Central School.

TO AID RUSSIA IF CAPTIVES LEAVE Hoover Cables Conditional Re ply to Gorky's Plea for Food and Medicine V WOULD FEED 1,000,000 Vnslllngon, July 2". As head of the American Relief Administration, Herbert Hoovcr.has sent a sympathetic response to the nppcal of Maxim Gorky for aid In behalf of the missions of starving nnd sick men, women nnd chil dren in 8ovict Russia. Air. Hoover agrees to furnish assist ance on conditions that havo been laid down by tho relief administration In its effort to help distressed people in twen-ty-three other foreign countries. America hears nnd Is moved by the voice of Riissin's hungry America w-nnts to send aid Immediately. Food, clothing nnd medicine for 1,000,000 children nud invalids, without regard to race, creed or social status, can be dispatched with a minimum of delay. All that America -asks is n guarantee by the Soviet authorities of simple decency in tho treatment of the relief workers. The Bolshevists, as evidence of good faith, must relmsp Red Cross workers and other American prisoners now held in violntion of established prncticcs of civilized nntloni. Such is Mr. Hoover's reply. He embodied it In n cablegram to Maxim Gorky nt Pctrograd, through whom Russia's appeal came to tho United States. Mr. Hoover's statement of con ditions mnrfc nlrnr flint i.linrltnl.ln America pauses In contemplation of tho outlnw government nt Moscow solely to establish administrative conditions Iden tical with those "readily accepted" in twenty-three countries where the com mission has operated In bchnlf of up- ! ward of 8,000,000 children.

"On Its side," Mr. Hoover added, "the Relief Administration is prepared as usual to make a free and frank un dertaking: "First. That It will, within its re sources, supply nil children nnd invalid alike, without regard to race, creed or social status. "Second. That Its. representatives a'nd nsslstnnts in Russia will engage in no 'political activities. "I desire to repeat," Mr. Hoover stated in conclusion, "thnf these con ditions are In no sense extraordinary, but are Identicnl with those laid down and readily accepted by the twenty three other Governments in whose ter ritories wc hnve operated."

We did that last spring. None of our old goods were left.- Do you realize what this means? It means a complete new stock of the very latest designs. It means much better materials and much finer workmanship than has been going into Furniture for the past rue years. It means vastly greater values because, in addition to superior quality, the prices are far below those paid for goods bought a year or two ago. This, together with our acknowledged $150,000 location and expense saving, is why we are able to guarantee our prices 20 to 30 per cent below every other store or your money back.
