CLARK SPEAKS ID
 THE ENDEAVORERS

Atlantic City, N. J., July 10-With the big audience swayed to the tune of Dixie, Speaker Champ Clark, was introduced to a record throng on the million dollar pier tonight as the principal speaker be- fore the Christian Endeavor convention. His speech was striking throughout.
 There is no room in the United States for a pessimst or an dler," he declared at the outset. Amy man who misses two general elections should be dsfranchis- ed Our forefathers did not fight so we could sit at home. They wanted us to have our own say at election. If 1 had one prayer that was sure to be answered, it would be that every citizen should &C., quire sufficient education to read his own ballot and cast 1t as an American citizen should.
 "Hoodlums run nine-tenths of our elec- tions and the hoodlum who goes out ana votes is a better man than the citizen who fails to cast his ballot. It is the duty of every Christian citizen to take a hand in politics. These fine haired cit izens who say they are too busy to en- ter politics are bad citizens.

AN ELEVATOR FALLS IN TIE bROWN-MARX Only Two Persons Slightly Hurt Although Car Had
 Twelve Passengers

Elevator No. at the Brown-Marx
 building, containing 12 people, fell from
 about the sixth floor yesterday evening
 at o'clock and as if by a miracle only
 two persons were slightly injured
 \ Miss Craden had her ankle sprained
 and was taken to Solomon's infirmary,
 but was able to leave in few minutes.
 The negro elevator boy named Londros, was slightly hurt and was taken to hospital by pr. J. C. Anthony but was
 back for work later in the evening" The accident seems to have been caus- ed by the snapping of one of the cables
 and the safety clutch with which the elevator is equipped failed to work. The car fell to the ground floor at terrific speed and when it struck the safety springs at the pit of the shaft, it re- bounded almost to the second floor. All of the occupants of the car were badly | frightened and others in the building thought the accident was sure to prove
 fatal z
 | Doctors were summoned immediately
 and it was found that all of the pas sengers were uninjured with the eXcep-
 ton of Miss Craden and the elevator boy.
 | An examination of the elevator last night showed that only one of the two
 cables supporting the elevator Was broken. Glass and mirrors in the car were shattered but. it was otherwise ap- 1 parently undamaged.
 Eugene l.. Brown, manager of the building, and Harry G. Woodward, the
 owner, were both out of the city yes | terday and no statement could be secur- ed from them.
