Mrs. Barr on the hill leading from a
bridge over the railroad tracks on the
Harrisburg pike near Springmont.
Mrs. Barr, in her complaint, said that
she had been thrown forward in the
car and had had her front teeth
knocked out. Barr said in his letter
thai he had bee obliged to sell his car
because his wife refused to ride in 1t
after this accident.
The hearing vas set for 2 o'clock
and at that time Downey, accompanied
by his legal representatives of the
firm OF Wickersham & Metzger and
character witnesses in his behalf, was
on hand. Commissioner Cunningham
read the letter from Mrs. Barr and
also the one from Barr. Mr.. Metzger
said that In a court of law he would
object to the Introduction of Barr's
letter because II contained hearsay
allegations as to the ability of Downey
to operate a motor vehicle in the
proper manner. However. since this
was a hearing to determine facts, the
letter was taken as evidence to es-
a case. Commissioner Cum
bingham then asked Downey to tell
what nae happened on the day
in question and Downey said that he
had crossed the bridge and started to
the steep hill on the other side
he observed a crowded trolley
car approaching. As the road was
running with water from the heavy
rains. he crowded over to the extreme
right to avoid the possibility of skid
ding through the mud and hitting the
trolley car. At that time he said, he
noticed Bars car at the foot of the
hill n motioned to him to stop until
he (Downey) had passed the trolley
car. Downey said hat Barr disre-
garded his signal to stop, so hat when
the trolley car had passed Downey
brought his car to a standstill. At
that moment Bars car ran into
Downey's. This concluded Downey's
testimony and Commissioner Cunning
ham inquired from Police Captain
Thompson. of Harrisburg. whether or
not he knew Downey to be a sober and
careful driver. The captain replied in
the Affirmative. J. CLYDE Myton. sec
rotary of the Motor Club of Harris
burg. likewise testified hat Downey did
not partake of Intoxicating liquors and
he knew him to he a careful
operator. In proof of this Mr.. Myton
cited the fact that when the Motor

outing TO the poor children Downey
was selected to drive a car containing
crippled children because he. was

A FIERCE FIGHT YESTERDAY.
Germans Wre>ted a Cemetery From
the French-Which Side Will BE-
gin the big Effort in France?

London Dispatch. July IL.
BY a savage attack in the west the
Germans have wrested from the
French the Souchez cemetery, seven
miles north of Arras. The battle was
one OF the seyerest of the war. The
cemetery was taken after a gas at
tack. followed by hand-to-hand fight
ing with bono and bayonet.
The French admit the loss and are
nghting TO regain the ground, which
they had won at heavy cost
Slowly the French had been
Tightening their grip on the village
OF Souchez. until the Germans, aware
that the capture of the entire posi-
ton would be an important step in
the French offensive toward Lens and
Lille. launched a terrific counter
stroke. which left them master of the
shattered buyial ground. with more
than $50 prisoners in their hands.
Fighting among the houses which
fringe the western edge of the town
still RACES.
There also has been a renewal of
activity in other areas of France and
Belgium, but nothing comparable
with the stragetic importance of the
Souchez struggle.
The Germans claim the destruction
OF the British position on Hill 60,
near Ypres, but this finds no confir-
nation from either French or British
sources.
The situation in Poland and Cali
cia has not reached a crisis, but the
public is weary of following the COM
plexities of the Russian retirement
and. so long as Warsaw appears to
be in no Immediately danger, is turn
ing to the west. hazarding guesses as
to whether the British and French or
the Germans will be the first TO take |
the general offensive. With the ar
rival of midsummer, this is a big |
question. for il is felt that one side |
DR. the other must strike before long:
otherwise another winter of tedious
rench warfare is inevitable.
