The German PoIicyheider..

Berlin, June 23.-Over sixty policy holders of the Equitable Life Assur- ance Society held a meeting here to- day under the auspices of the German Fire Insurance Protective League to discuss the measures to be adopted in their interest in view of recent events in connection with the Equitable. Coun- cillor of Justice D. Gruendler. the Equitable's representative in Germany read a cable message from Chairman Morton assuring the German policy holders that the assets of the company were intact and that their interests were not endangered and all abuses of the Society would soon be removed. Dr. Gruendier offered to cable to New York to State Superintendent Hem dricks at the Society's expense for con firmation of Mir. Morton's message. The meeting voted to ask the league to ean- tinue to represent the interests of the policyholders and to cooperate with them
 The meeting showed there was but slight apprehension on the part of the poiicyholders regarding the solvency of the Society, but several members whose policies have just expired complained of the disappointing results of the settle ment. The naturalization plans now in progress in the United States were en- dorsed.

 DEVELOP PMENT Peace Negotiations Ap- pear Lagging. QUESTION OF ARMISTICE But Little Headway Made in
 This Direction. President Talks With Secretary Hay and Minister Takahlra-The Ill., ness of Count Lamsdorff is
 Reported.
QUESTION OF ARMIsTIcE

Washington, June 23.-Mr. Takahira, the Japanese Minister, called at the White House tonight where he was re- ceived by the President and remain ed for three-quarters of an hour. The minister would have nothing to say about his conference or the situation at this time beyond remarking that some matters must be settled first. When asked about an armistice, the fact that the minister could give no assurances regarding an armistice prior to the convening of the Washington conference tends to confirm the belief in official circles here that little head way has been made by the President in this direction.
 Up to a late hour this afternoon the Russian reply, to the Presidents sug- gestion regarding an armistice had not been received and until this reply is received the result of this phase of the negotiations cannot be known.
 President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay had a brief talk today about the status of the peace negotiations which are proceedings between Russia and Japan. The only important develop ment in the situation which has aris- en since President Roosevelt left Washington Tuesday night is the re- ported illness of Count Lamsdorff, the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs.
 Secretary Hay talked to the Presi- dent about the situation just before the formal assembling of the cabinet to- day About the result of their discuss sion, it was not disclosed at the White House. The subject of the peace ne- gotiations was not considered at the cabinet meeting.

victim of Collision.

Poughkeepsie. N. Y, June 2s.-Miss Lillian Moore, of this city. whose skull was fractured when two cars filled with excursionists crashed together at Fishkill landing early today, died sev- eral hours after the accident without regaining consciousness. None of the twenty others who were injured in the crash Is thought to be fatally hurt. Both cars were crowded with Pough~ keepsie people. members of an excur- sion party conducted by the Knights of Temperance of St. Paul's Church. The brakes of one of the cars was out of order, and the motorman attempted to let the car down the hill by using the reverse current. He had covered only a short distance when the trolley pole slipped from the wire. the current was interrupted. and the car coasted into another one ahead.

MIR. LOOMS FUTURE WHAT WILL THE ADMINISTRATION
 DO WITH HIMf Believed That Policy Demands His Retirement, But He Will Be Handed an Easy Berth as
 Compensation.
Advertiser Bureau,
 1925 c. St., N. w., Washington. June 2s

WaSninBLons June 70. Now that he has summarily dismiss l cd Mir. Bowen from the diplomatic service, the question Is what is the President going to do with Francis B. Loomis, the man with the fresh coat Of whitewash and stiff Presidential boost.
 Undoubtedly the echo of the Bowen- Loomis decision is a jeer and a sheer, hence Loomis will probably seek a new field of diplomatic activity. He might remain in his present position. but it is not thought that he can stand the gan of public opinion. Something must be done to relieve Loomis of his embarrassment. That he is to be sue ceeded by Lloyd Griscom, now Amer lean Minister to Japan, as Assistant Secretary of State, is believed to be the program, but wat disposition is to be made of Loomis?
 He is the white elephant of the Roosevelt administration. The Presl- dent unquestionably would like to keep him close at home, but policy di- rects otherwise and in the conduct of public affairs policy counts for much. Prior to the embroglio with Minister Bowen, Loomis stood a chance to be made Minister to Japan. succeeding Mir. Griscom, but since Secretary of War Taft characterized Loomis's con- duct as Minister to Venezuela as "in- discreet" the propriety of assigning him to a post of grave responsibility has intervened.
 MT Loomis is about to start on A foreign tour, to be absent several months. and the impression here Is that his official connection with the Department of State will never be re- sumed. The President. however, will see to it that he is given comfortable berth at the expense of the govern ment.
 No better evidence of the serious ness in which the Bowen -Loomis case is viewed by the administration Is pos sible than the expense to which the administration has gone in exploiting the decision against Bowen and in fa- vor of Loomis. Today the Department of State issued several thousand copies of an official statement detailing the entire Bowen-Loomis controversy, the purpose of which was to show that Loomis is a good little boy whose de- pertinent while Minister to Venezuela was above reproach.
 TO issue these phamphlets cost the government at least $1,200. but Looms had to be vindicated at any cost. He Is the man who is said to have engt- neered the Panama revolution at the cost of S1.00O,000 ready money to the United States. R. H. Watkins.

A SERIOUS SITUATION
CABINET DISCUSSES IMMIGRATION
 OF CHINESE.
Secretary Hay Says There is Less Trouble Over the Law Than in Its Administration Im-
 pOrtant Session.

Washington. June 23-Chinese in- migration to this country and the ex- ecution of the Chinese exclusion laws constituted the principal topic of dis cussion at today's meeting of the cab inet. It was the last meeting of the cabinet to be held before President Roosevelt shall leave Washington for the summer. As a result many de- partmental matters which have been pending were taken up and of some matters final disposition was made.
 The situation which has arisen out Of the enforcement of the Chinese ex nlusion law is regarded both by the President and members of his cabinet as serious As Secretary Hay puts it, there seems to be more trouble over the administration of the law than in the law itself In fact he expressed the belief that too much time was spent in developing evidence against Chinese who presumably were entitled to enter the country.
 The President made 1t clear at the meeting today that he was determined the Chinese should have fair treatment under the law whenever they applied for admission to this country at any port. He believed this was not only in the interest of American manufao- turers and business. but no more than iust to the Chinese. While no definite decision was reached today 1t was the generally expressed decision that the American diplomatic and trade rela- tions with this country has always maintained with China should be con tinued if possible. To this end Sec retary Hay will take action on behalf of this country The report that the commercial guilds of China have en- tered into a hard and fast agreement to boycott American made goods has had a disturbing effect on American producers interested in the Chinese trade. It will be the effort of this government to endeavor to correct any misapprehension that may exist in China as to the too harsh enforcement of the Chinese exclusion laws.
 Secretary Metcalf of the Department of Commerce and Labor. who has d. rect supervision of the immigration bureau. does not believe that unneces- sary harshness is used in the enforce ment of the law. He pointed out at the cabinet meeting today that the United States trade with China in cot ton goods alone for the ten months of the present fiscal year had aggregated S21.OOO. 900 as against S3,000. 900 for the previous fiscal year. He hoped this trade would not be disturbed through any misunderstanding and ex- pressed, the belief 1t would not be.
 All Khe members of the cabinet were present at the meeting. It was the last cabinet meeting, probably, which Secretary Morton will attend. as he expects formally to sever his connec- tIon with the administration on the sOth inst

ONE MORE SURPRISE
JOHN w. HILL IS ARRESTED FOR
 SECOND TIME.
Street RumOrs Say That Detention of the Former Filtration Chief Will be Followed by Other
 Sensations.

Philadelphia, Jne 23-For the second time this week John W. Hill, former chief of the Bureau of Filtration. was arrested today on a charge of forgery and falsifying certain books and papers to defraud the city of Philadelphia. After hearing he was held in s20,000 bail for trial.
 His arrest today was a great sur prise. coming so close on his statement of innocence of forgery and falsifica- tion of records on which charges he was held in $8,000 bond on Wednesday. The principal witness against Mir. Hill was S. G. Garrett a former employe of the filtration bureau. Evidence was produced tending to show that esti- mates of the work done by Daniel J. McNiichol, contractor. were padded. and that the city was defrauded out of about $40,000. Counsel for the defence claimed that the evidence produced did not prove Mir. Hill guilty of the offenses charged.
 There were many rumors afioat today that as a result of the arrest of Mir. municipal affairs would be arrested. but up to late tonight nothing had been developed.
 The former filtration chief was taken to the city hall and arraigned for a hearing before Magistrate Eisenbrown. As the hearing was aDout 10 begin, Mir Magil. counsel for Hill. addressed the court and said
 No Ordinary Criminal.
 'T understand that the prosecution proposes to press for an immediate hearing under this afidavit. I would ask that you allow us reasonable time in which to prepare so that we may be able to answer charge. the very nature we do not know and no inti- nation of which is in the affidavit. Mir Hill Is no ordinary criminal. To press for a hearing at this time par takes of persecution. I appeal for the continuance"
 In reply Lawyer Gordon. for the prosecution, said: T agree with MT. Maglll as to his saying that his client is not an ordinary criminal. He Is an extraordinary one-extraordinary in the manner in which he has continued to perpetrate his crimes. He deserves all of the superIatives that can be applied to him. This charge Is the same as the former one. except that 1t deals with another instance. At the last hearing he was charged with for gery under contracts No. 1T and 19. ag- gregating $30,000. I wish now to show Independently a series of forgeries amounting to $40. 900 that were brought directly home to Chief Hill and to show it by entirely new witnesses"
 The magistrate ordered the hearing to proceed.

STORM FATALITIES.
Two Killed, Several Hurt and Much
 Prnnerfy DamAged.

Two Killed, Several Hurt and Much
 Property Damaged.
 New York. June 23.-Two men have been killed by lightning, eight persons were seriously hurt and considerable property damage has resulted from a severe storm which has swept New York and the surrounding country. Following hours of great heat and hu- midity the storm broke with intense violence and more than one-half inch of rain fell in thirteen minutes. The electrical display continued intermit- tingly over wide territory for hours. Those who lost their lives were: Michel Burns, a Monteclaire, N. J.. plumber. and Arthur Bolton of Newark. N J., a coachman. Scores of others were more or less injured from the ef- fleets of the lightning and from fire and panic resulting from the storm.
 Many buildings were wholly or in part demolished. two school houses were struck by lightning, telephone and electric light wires were disabled and panics occurred in many buildings hit by lightning.
 While the storm swept every section of the city proper, the damage was greatest in New Jersey and in the su- burbs along the south shore of Long Island, Coney Island. Rockaway Beach and sections of Brooklyn suffered se- verely.
 Among the peculiar freaks of light ming was a dynamite explosion in liar lem. A bolt of the fluid plowed its way down the side of a new apartment house to the ground where 1t exploded a dynamite cartridge which excavators had left undischarged in the rocks. Serious damage was caused to several other buildings close by.
 Confusion and widest alarm were created among 500 000 pleasure seekers at Coney Island, where the storm burst with violent fury. The police station was struck by lightning while several cottages and amusement halls were set on fire. Similar scenes were witnessed at Rockaway Beach.
 In this city the electric conduits of the surface lines were flooded in lower Broadway and traffic was seriously de- layed. Flashes of blue flame shot out from beneath the cars for hours, until the workmen had pumped out nearly all the water that collected.

DISCOVERY BY GAINES
SUPREME COURT OF LAND IS WITH
 OUT A BIBLE.
Tennessee Congressman Wanted to Use ScripturaI Reference Against
 Tobacco Trust, and Was
 Completely Dumb bfouned.
Advertiser Bureau,
 1923 G. St. N. W,


 Washington, June 23. That the highest. tribunal in the land, the United States Supreme Court. is without a Bible in It's official library has just been discovered by Congress- man John Wesley Gaines, of the Sixth Tennessee district.
 Believing that he could prop an argu- ment against the great tobacco trust upon a pious declaration in Deuterono- my or one of the other books of the Old Testament, MT. Gaines, who hap pened to be pursuing hls Investigation in the clerks room of the Supreme Court, asked for a Bible.
 T am sorry to say that we have no Bible in the library was the sur prising reply.
 Forgetting for the moment that he was a Congressman, MT. Gaines raised his hands in horror and gave utterance to words that Sam Jones might have employed with effect in excoriating a case hardened sinner. But his indig- nant ejaculations were in vain. There was no book of God at hand and the scripturally inclined Congressman was reduced to the extremity of backing up the acuracy of his Bible quotation with mild wager that he could make good If some one would produce the sacred book.
