DEEDMEYER FORGED
 ID LEAVE GERMANY BY ILL TREATMENT
United States Consul At Chemnitz, Former Bir- mingham Man, Con-
 ing Home

Alleging lad treatment on the part oi the German authorities, Frank Deed. meyer, formerly of Birmingham, and now the United States. has left his post al Chemnitz, Germany, and is on his way home to lodge complaint with the govern naent in regard to the matter. The re- port of MT. Deedmeyer's action was pub lished in the New York Sun and later confirmed by letters to relatives in this country.
 When the European war broke out Mir. Deedmeyer was stationed at Prague, Aus tria. He was almost immediately trans ferred to Chemnitz and in addition to representing the United States, acted for Panama, Cuba, Great Britain. France, Belgium, Japan and Servia. The nature of the mistreatment of the American con- sul has not been made known but 1t is suggested that it was on account of his wife, who does not speak German, and it is believed that this had some thing to do with his departure.
 Frank Deedmeyer will be remembered as one of the leading members of the Birmingham bar. He entered the con sular service of the United States and was assigned to a post at Charlottesville, Prince Edward Island Nova Scotia. He was later transferred to Leghorn, Italy; from there to Prague. Austria, and as stated above, to Chemnitz He is of Ger man descent and his alleged mistreatment at the hands of the Germans came as a surprise. In addition to his recognized ability as a lawyer MT. Deedmeyer is 8 noted linguist and speaks huently the languages of several European nations LOW at war
 The dispatch to the New York Sun fol- lows:
 Frank Deedmeyer. the American con- sul at Chemnitz. Germany, who reached London a few days ago and reported that he had to leave his post because of the bad treatment accorded him by the Ger mans at Chemnitz, sailed for New York Saturday aboard the St. Paul and will ar rive next Saturday. A cable message tn his brother-in-law, the Rev. James Van Ingen of Millburn, N. J., told of his de- parture for this country.
 ''Dr. Van Ingen received a letter from Mrs. Deedmeyer few days ago which was dated Chemnitz, September 6. There was no hint in it that she and her hus- hand were not being well treated. She told of pig municipal celebration held there on Sedan day in which great en- thusiasm and patriotism were shown by the Germans. Other letters, dated earlier said that practically all of the able-bodied men of the community had gone to wal and that as result the factories were closed and the place deserted by men,.
 Dr. Van Ingen said yesterday that MT Deedmeyer was sent to Chemnitz a. American consul only 10 days before tn, war began. He had been in the Ameri- can consular service in Germany fol some years. Mrs. Deedneyer, he said does not speak German, and he believes that this fact may have contributed to suspicion on the part of the Germans. "

YORK |NJURED|N
 AUTO ACCIDENT Auto Turns Completely Over At Fourth and Six
 teerth

While making a sharp turn at Fourth avenue and Sixteenth street, north, about 6 o'clock last night, a ur-passenger Ford automobile, driven by l.. A. York, a collector for the Malone-McConnell Real Estate company, turned "turle" and buried York beneath the wreckage. Shaw's ambulance was quickly summoned and after some trouble York was extri- cated and taken to St. Vincents hos pital in badly bruised condition. It is thought that he is internally injured.
 According to eye witnesses of the acci- dent, York was driving south on Six teenth street when he suddenly sweryed east on Fourth avenue. The speed he was making and the fact that his front wheels became entangled with the car track, was too great a strain for the light automobile, and it turned completely over before fork could shut off power and apply the brakes.
