DEATH AND INJURY
IN ACCIDENTS DUE
TOICE ON STREETS

one man is dead and hundreds were in
iured TODAY in accidents on the ice-cov-
cred streets Many suffered broken arms
sprained ankles and lacerated hands and
faces from sudden tumbles on the CLASSY
sidewalks.
George Murphy. 81 years old of 262O
Catharine street, was fatally injured. He
tried to cross Race street at 3Oth before
a team of horses hauling a heavy truck.
AS he stepped beside the team one horse
slipped.
AS the animal tried TO recover its bal
ance a hoof struck Murphy in the head
and fractured his skull. He died before
reaching the Polytechnic Hospital, Joseph
Snyder, 23s Wheeler street. the driver
was arrested and taken TO City Hall for
n hearing. The accident was unavoid-
able, witnesses said.
All Philadelphia and its suburbs slipped
and skidded on It's way to the office
this morning through a drizzling rain
on ice-coated streets. Cars We're late
and trains made slow time. Horses
dragging big trucks managed to fall pre-,
cisely across the pain OF pelateo street
cars, while 50 agents for the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty TO Animals
rang for the horse ambulance and strug-
gIed 10 raise the animals to their feet.
In the suburbs the commuters daily
aash for the station was varied with
lively efforts to keep their balance and
maintain headway. At overbrook, Paoll
and most OF the other towns the men
who leave for the station at the last
minute and usually seize the hand rail-
of the last car as the train pulls out
found themselves at a loss. When they
reached the platforms, after a death-de-
flying race against time, many found
their usual jump for a passing car plat
form too hazardous to try on the ice
coated platform. So they regretfully let
their trains pull away without them and
lighted cigars to walt.
But up In RoNborOugh, the Switzerland
of Philadelphia citizens greeted the slip
perry paYements with glad cries. AS the
station lies down hill from most homes,
the committing population tucked papers
under arms, settled hats firmly and slid
most OF the distance. In Roxborough
they are used 10 climbing 45-degree slopes
without ice ereepers.

U. S. BALKS AT GERMAN
30. K" FOR ITS C0NSULS

WASHINGTON, psc. e9.-'Ths United
States has no intention OF recognizing
any political status of the Germans in
Belgium territory so long as the war con-
tinues.
This was emphatically stated following
the receipt at the State Department OF a
note from the German government in
forming the United States that Germany
would not recognize exsquaturs issued by
the Belgian government to American con-
sular officers In territory now controlled
by the German forces.
II Is hoped ana believed here that the
American conHuls in the Belgian districts
now occupied by the Germans can con-
tlnue 10 exercise their consular functions
through temporary informal permits
granted them by the German de faeto
authorities. This would not involve any
recognition Of a political status OF the
Germans IN Belgium 1t Is not believed
that Germany has any intention OF fore
Ing the issue OF recognition at this time
But Il may be stated that II Germany
should press this ISSUE the United States
would withdraw its eonsuls from Belgian
territory rather than grant such recoKni-
ton TO the e0nquerors

recognition BY the United states OF the

part of Belgium which It's forces occupy
as distinguished from a merely tempor-
AIRY military control

document states that feeling has been
aroused on the subject to such an eN-
tent that the American Government feels
compelled to ask for definite inforna-
tion as to Great Britains attitude in
order that 1t may take such measures
as will protect American citizens In their
right"
The United States, it points out was
patient at first, realizing that the un-
expected outbreak of hostilities had
heaped a mass of burdens on the Brit
ish Government and thinking an early
clearing of the air would come. Five
months have now elapsed, the note as
serts, with no Improvement in the sit
uation.
COMPLAINT REGARDING COPPER.
A conspicuous complaint cited in the
note is against tine treatment by Great
Britain of American cargoes of copper
It is fatty charged that Great Britain
is discriminating against the American
trade in copper In favor OF the scandi-
navian copper interests. as to commerce
in this product between the United States
and Italy. Even though the Italian Gov
ernment, the note declares. has pro-
claimed an embargo on the exploitation OF
copper from Italy to belligerent nations,
similar to the embargo In force In Nor
way, Denmark and Sweden, the con-
signments OF copper from the United
States are said TO be held up while those
of the Scandinavian countries pass un-
molested.
Taking up the subject of the detention
of American ships on the high seas. the
Washington Government emphatically
states that 1t cannot tolerate undue de-
lays in examining them or in conveying
such ships 10 British ports for detailed
examination. 1t argues that proof OF hos
the destination OF the cargo must be in
evidence at the time of such search at sea.

"The foregoing Is known 10 the or

stituting these great commercial organ
izations. They have done everything
possible to help themselves, but now
they realize that governmental action is
necessary to liberate our merchant ma

those regulations which prevent their as

producers to make such combinations in

Give us this new freedom for our for

sAvANT GIVES WARNING.
American vitality, as compared with
British vitality, is waning. according to
DR.. Eugene L. Fisk. Director of Hygiene
of the Life Extension Institute of New
York
The death rate in the United States,
said Doctor Fisk, is on the increase, while
in Great Britain there has been an inn
provement at every age up to So. In
Germany there had been an improvement
at every age during the last 30 years,
There is evidence that American
vitality as compared with British vitality
is waning. Recent health examinations
OF thousands OF insurance policyholders
and of employees show the encroachment
OF degenerative diseases of the heart,
blood vessels and kidneys. A group of
some thousands of employees who were
,fTan hNF n NHFffh "a n
age age OF 80. showed 13 per cent. with
and more than so per
cent. sufficiently impaired to be sent to
their physicians for treatment.

AMBLER'S SPEAKER BOOM
BACKED IN CHESTER COUNTY
Added Vigor Given by Insurance
Commissioner Johnson's Support

Commissioner Johnson's Support
Representative Charles A. Ambler's
candidacy for the speakershlp OF the
next House is gaining considerable head
way. The Chester County delegation is
out for the Montgomery County man.,
and his candidacy is openly aligned with
the Governor elects influence with In
surance Commissioner Charles Johnson's
announcement that he will manage the
Amber boom.
The three Chester Representatives,
Samuel A. Whitaker. Maris NJ Hollings-
worth and Charles p, Greenwood, are
regarded as ardent local optionists and
champions of Goyemor-elect Brum-
baugh's platform.
Insurance Commissioner Johnson's ac-
tive entry into the race was taken as a
sure indication of the Governor-elect' s
support of Ambler's candidacy. Com
missioner Johnson. who is treasurer of
the Republican State Committee, has an
nounced his candidacy for reappointment
as Commissioner. Under these circm-
stances, politicians pointed out that he
would have kept out of the fight ex-
cept for his desire to assist the Gov
ernor-elect to land his candidate as
Speaker.
Richard ]. Baldwin. OF Delaware
County tcalled upon the Governor elect
yesterday. and after the interview said
that he was still confident of winning
out Baldwin will open his Harrisburg
headquarters in the Commonwealth Ho-
tel Friday night. Ambler's headquar-
ters will be opened by Johnson in Har-
risburg on Saturday morning.
Goyernor-elect Brumbaugh went to
Harrisburg today, and after attending
the meeting of the State Board of Edu-
cation and addressing the annual con-
yention of the Pennsylvania Teachers
Association, he conferred with Dauphn
County leaders regarding legislation. To-
morrow he will go to Pittsburgh and
confer with Republican leaders in Alle-
gheny County.
