The sight of numerous men running in
various directions nursing pain as they
sped along caused the report that there
was fire this afternoon at Front and Vine
streets. Two cops rushed to that point aud
then halted suddenly. A few feet away,
clnging comfortably to a mail box, was a
flock of noisy bees They made as much
noise as a Democratic convention All were
trying to voice opinions at once.
The queen bee held the centre Of the stage
near the lid of the box. That the others
were opposed to her was evident by their
mutinous buzz. They made several spring
drives to dspace her but she put right
and left stngs to the jaw and her opponents
fell to the street and died.
The letter carrier who collects the mail
paused just as far away as the cops. He
said there was no doubt of the fact that
the bees were attracted by the honeyed
words In the mushy letters within. He
confided the fact that many girls in that
section were deeply in love.
Many who watched the cinging buzzers
expressed the belief that they were
charmed by the sweetness which radiated
from the romantic correspondence of the
Romeos and Juiets, who are especially
gushing at this time of year.

DRASTIC ACTION URGED

John Tilsner. 8 years old, of 3446 Joyce
street, died in the Frankford Hospital to-
day, his skull having been fractured short
time before under the wheels of a United
States mail motortruck at Joyce and Brad
dock Streets. His death makes the 60th
automobile fatality in this City since jan
uary /.
At the same hour that the little life was
added to the growing number of victims
to automobling casualties Mayor Smith,
Director Wilson and other municipal Off
cIals were in conference at City Hall for
the purpose of agreeing upon a draft of
an ordinance to be introduced into Councils
tomorrow and which will further curtail
the running of motor vehicles on the public
highways.
They had not finished their deliberations
when William Mulyihill, of 237 West Sey-
mailtruck which killed the latest victim,
was brought into the building and locked
up for hearing before Magistrate Beaton
at Central Station.
IL is charged by persons questioned by
Coroner's Detective Frank Paul and the

to Detective Paul and Captain Mills, of the
Police Traffic Division Only yesterday
Judge sRogers in the Quarter Session
Court, took occasion to comment adversely
upon the disregard of speed and safety laws
shown by these men, and held that their
Government service gave them no privilege
or right of way over other users of the
streets.
He severely reprimsnded the man before
him and declared that, while the drivers
themselves were not altogether eulpable,
being forced to speed up in order 70 make
contract schedules. their employers would
not escape liability in the event OF death
or injury resulting to pedestrians from such
illegal speed.
Detective Paul, In commenting upon the
latest case of fatal injury. that of little
John Filsner, said that he had called per-
sonally on two occasions at the office Of
the superintendent OF mails with a pro-
test against the reckless speed maintained
by mailtruek drivers. In some cases, he
said these operators in their anxiety to
make good time, have run their machines
along much-traveled streets at as miles an
hour ana even higher speed at intervals.

DEMOCRATS MUST

VOTES GAUNTLET
Suffragists Will Try to
Stare Delegates Into
Granting Plank
BATTERY OF 5000 EYES
BY CARL A. BICKEL

BY CARL A. BlCKEb
ST LOUIS, June 14--A concentrated
battery OF 5000 pairs of feminine eyes was
turned upon the delegates to the Demo-
cratic Convention in an appeal of votes
for women"
The attack staged by the National
womans Suffrage organization. headed py
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, is to be the most
spectacular event OF the suffrage campaign
before the convention. Five thousand
women, voiceess, motioness, with STEADY
gaze will for two hours try to stare a
supposedly somewhat unfriendly national
convention out of countenance and into an
attitude of meek receptivity.
Dressed in white with a yellow SASH
across their shoulders and yellow parasoi
above their heads. the women of the ma
tional association will form golden lane
from the Jefferson Hotel to the Coliseum.
Between the extended ranks of the women
soldiers for the ballot, Democracy. headed
for It's quadrennial powwow will have TO
walk or ride
TO STAND IN SHIFTS.
The National Organization plans that at
least $500 women will always be on their
feet standing about two yards apart along
the 10 blocks between the hotel and the
Coliseum. Between the standing women VIII
be a reserve force of $500 seated on chairs.
The work of standing UP for suffrage will
be done in shifts.
That the Resolutions Committee of the
convention will recommend modest suf-
frage plank planned somewhat along the
general lines of the one recently smoothed
off to fit the Republican platform at Chi
cago Is generally believed at the headquar-
ters of the National Organization. These
women express themselves as gratlfied.

however, where the direct actionist" MEM
bers Of the new national womens party have
their headquarters they, hguratvely, stamp
