With Million Bushels Awaiting

grain at this port.
The Philadelphia and Reading Railway
today informed the Commercial Exchange
that It will not accept shipments Of
bulk grain of any character consigned or

ther notice"
The communication was signed by Il.

grain for local delivery will not be in
terfered with II is hoped the embargo
will soon be lifted.

bushels: wheat, $4,000 bushels; corn, o.
oOO bushels: rye. 22,OOO bushels, and bar

GUNGIRL STARTS PANIC
IN CROWDED STREET CAR
Conductor Disarms Woman Attacking
Man That Deceived Her.

Man That Deceived Her.
"Yo wus untroo to me Robert an ahn
goin' to git yo!''
Grace Smith pulled a cleaning revolver
from her waist and poked 1t under the
nose of Robert Kelly.
The scene was enacted in a Chelten
avenue trolley car and the passengers
made rush for tho doors, But as the
car was in motion, the conductor stopped
the stampede and disarmed Grace, a
young Negress. while her finger was
fondling tho trigger.
Behind the action of the vengeful
woman is a shattered romance. She
asked Kelly, who lives at 75l Vincent
street. to take her to a party Kelly
said he was "sufferin' from slight lnds-
posishin" and wanted to stay home and
"resuscitate." 1t was with a heavy heart
that Grace went to the party with some
other friends.
But her sadness turned to wrath when
she found Robert there. 1t seems he
thought she was going to another func-
ton and was so dumfounded that he
couldn't explain They quarreled and

1t was then that Grace brought about
sudden silence with the revolver When
Policeman Smith marched the seXtette
to the Germantown station they became
very mournful Grace said she lived at
5549 Baynton street and got the gun
from Louise Vinney. Louise said she
found" the weapon in the home of a
former employer.
As the girls seemed more involved in
the matter than the men, each was fined
$3.50 and their escorts were discharged.
with true gallantry, however, they
secured Germantown and rounded up $50
for the liberty of their sweethearts.
