Seven Killed and Three
Hurt When Train Crashes
Into Wagon of Workers
By Associated Press

Aberdeen, Md, Aug. so.-Seven
men were killed and three injured
when a Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington railroad locomotive
crashed into a wagonload of farm
workers at Short Lane crossing, Just
north of Perryman, Nd, at 5.55
o'clock this morning.
The men were riding in a large
wagon which was drawn by two
mules. The point where the road
crosses the railroad is through a cut
five feet deep and as corn is growing
in the fields at the top of the cut,
their vision was obscured. The en-
gine struck the wagon a broadside
blow, between the front and rear
wheels, reducing it to kindling wood
The men were thrown on the track
ahead of the engine and to the side
of the track. Some were mangled.

Court Alley Deadlock
Causes Considerable
Delay of Traffic

Much excitement reigned in the VII
cinity of the Telegraph building this
morning at 1890 o'clock. when a
driver for the Peipher Line, fast
freight, and the driver of an automo-
bile dray decided to take up perma-
nent quarters in Court street, imme-
diately beneath the frowning win
dews of the Telegraph composing
rooms. For a time it was considered
advisable 20 send in fire alarm.
Tho driver of the Peipher dray was
of Irish extraction. while Mr.. Kades'
drives was a son of Ham. Nobody
knows how the head on collision oc-
CURED Git really wasn't a head-on
collision, but 1t almost wasl, and both
drivers were in excellent form. The
particular unit of the Peipher limo
which had assumed an immovabLe
attitude represented with nicely the
motto, Fast Freight" for whatever
freight was contained in the wagon
was indeed fast. The Irish driver
assured the auto driver that the
Kades truck had better back out. for
he meant to remain there until hades
(only he didn't use precisely that
word. y'understand) froze over, un-
less he was permitted to go his way
as originally planned.
Some one had the presence of mind
to call up the police department, the
Mayor and the employers of the driv-
ers' in question. After a display of
language that would have put even
the operator of a linotype to shame.
the son of Ham capitulated, and traf-
fic was resumed as usual.

FAULTY CLAIMS
AGAIN HOLD UP
APPEAL BOARD
Unable to Go Ahead Because
of District Board Errors:
Meet Tuesday

The district appeal board of the
middle judicial district of Pennsyl-
yania met this morning in the House
caucus rooms at the Capitol and aft
er three hours. of delibsration voted
to adjourn until Tuesday morning at
8 o'clock. Claims for exemption from
agriculturists throughout the various
outlying towns and cities were in
Festlgated. Each case was laid upon
the table because it was not prop
erly presented to the board.
There has been considerable trou-
Ole and inconvenience caused the
board by the improper presentation
OF claims. Following the meeting to-
day it was decided that a trip to the
various local boards will be made to
give special advice regarding the GER
Trying of those examined. Much of
the trouble lays with the local boards
and set of instructions that are to
be sent out are expected to alleviate
matters to a great extent
Robert r. Free, chief clerk of the
board, stated this morning that each
applicant who desires exemption on
the grounds of being an agriculturist
will have to state the size of his
farm, other male farmhands en-
ployed, their ages, whether or not

Entire Polish Council
Quits job in Disgust

Copenhagen, Aug. 30.-The Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger reports that the en-
tire Polish Council of State has re-
signed. The great underlying cause
res ponsible for the councils decision
to abandon its attempt to organize
a government under the proposed
German protectorate is the change
in the Polish attitude resulting from
the Russian revolution, according to
the newspaper.
The direct reasons to be sought,
however, are in the great hesitation
and delay of the Austro- German
powers in entrusting to the Poles
authority of the Polish army, in
which the Germans wish to incorpo-
rate their own forces and the German
determination to exclude Lithuania
from the new kingdom.

Coal Going Up in This
City Instead of Down as
Result Of New Order

Harrisburg is beginning to feel the
effects of the Presidents new coal
prices-and not very agreeably, at
that.
For example:
well-known resident a month
ago placed an order for thirteen
tons of pea coal at $6.15 a ton.
Yesterday his dealer called him IN
and informed him that the coal,
which was to have been delivered the
coming month, could not be purchas
ed at the mines at the old price, due
to the governments order fixing
prices and that it would cost at least
35 cents more a ton retail
II do not ask you to take this
coal,' said the dealer, "and 1 shall
be glad to cancel your order If you
can buy 1t more cheaply elsewhere.
The new price at the mines is re-
sponsible for the increase"
Other coal dealers are sending out
similar notices.
And it develops, incidentally. that
pea coal, which is the kind the poor
people use, will be increased in price
under the new order more than the
larger and more expensive varieties.

just little like a rainy day when the

ever, the weather man had only put
the sun where he would give light,
but very little heat.
The girls volleyball games were
the first contests to be played. The
Reservoir Park team played the
Twelfth Street team and won over
the Twelfth girls by 10 points, the
score being 81 to IL at the end of
the game. The Reservoir team then
played the Emerald Street team for
the championship of the city. They
were downed by "a score of 10 to II

After the girls championship had
been won the boys of Emerald street
