BIC AUTO TRUCK

Panic-Stricken Diners Flee to
Rear of Place When
Crash Comes.

large. heavy motor truck was
Camfield and Washington streets
shortly before noon today, knocking the
truck to the sidewalk, where it crashed
into plate glass window of the Palm
Cafe, 272 Washington street, and de-
moished half of the cafe entrance.
The cafe was crowded with diners,
who rushed panic-stricken to the rear
of the establishment. thinking the
heavy vehicle would force it's way into
the place. No one was hurt.
The auto-truck, belonging to Ludwig
Baumann & Co, of 49-51 Market street
turned into Washington street from
Camfeld street The latter street is
little more than an alleyway, and the
driver had to take a long swing to
turn. In doing so he was forced to
drive onto the north bound trolley
tracks, where the vehicle was struck
by the car.
so great was the force of the col
lision that the big truck was tossed
aside, the driver losing control of the
steering gear as 1t plunged upon the
sidewalk into the cafe entrance.
Austin Adams, of 2 Court street. the
driver, narrowely escaped being cut by
the flying glass. He did not leave the
truck until It came to a standstill.
The Kinney car, No. 799, was only
slightly damaged, and the few passen-
gers aboard suffered nothing more than
a shock although the women passen-
gers were thoroughly frightened The
left side of the truck was smashed OPP
posite the drivers seat, lamp broken
and the steering gear rendered useless.

ORDER TELEPHONE
COMPAN To GIVE
HERALD SERVICE
Utility Board Decides Ten
Months Fight in Favor OF
''VOice-Given Newspaper"

The ten-onths- dispute between
the New York Telephone Company
and the New Jersey Telephone Herald
Company, of Newark, was settled to-
day by the Public Utility Commission,
sitting in the Circuit Court rooms in
Jersey City, in favor of the Telephone
Herald Company.
The board declared that the stipula-
ton of today should take the place of
the order of August Is. According TO
the new stipulation the Telephone
Herald Company is to be permitted to
lease the telephone company's wires
like any other clients at the usual
charges. They are to be permitted to
transmit news and music, but are
barred from, conducting any personal
business over these wires. The Herald
Company must pay for all extra serV-
ices. rights of ways and other services
out of the ordinary
This ruling means that the Telephone
Herald Company will be prepared to
furnish it's unusual service to its clients
in Newark in about a month. The
company has offices in the Essex build
ing. 1t is believed that a month will
be necessary to organize the staff and
get things in working order.

Keen Rivalry to Be the First to
Start Account With
Government.

Promptly at 8 o'clock today the doors
of the new postal savings bank on the
second floor of the postofflce buildins
were thrown open, and the first to
enter and make his deposit was
"Frenchy," the little STAR newsboy.
Behind the little window was the new
clerk, Miss S. j. Higgins who had re
ceived her instructions from Inspector
w. c. Brigham, of the Philadelphia
division of the postal savings depart
ment.

utes to take care of each depositor
There were more questions to answer
than if one were registering under the
Geran law detailed account of the

sole means of identification.

disposing Of the genealogical questions

answered with proud emphasis, Sell

Louis Waimon, of 242 West Kinney
street, and hls age as 16. He said he
had been selling the STAR for several
years
Standing next to "Frenchy' was
young man who arrived early at the
bank in the fond hope of being the first
depositor. He was Herman Sperllng, of
1873 Orange street, standard bearer Of
the Sperling Social Club, but he didn't
beat Frenchy to the first position. for
the newsboy was up at sunrise, and
no consideration would induce
Frenchy to give up his place.
I'D a been here last night" said
Sperling, had ! known I wasn't goin
