An eastbound traction car, due in
Richmond at o'clock this morning,
was wrecked opposite Jackson park,
near Centerville, while going down the
steepest grade on the line between
Richmond and Indianapolis.
Motorman Denney of Greenfield and
Conductor Dan Chapman, of Cam
There were about six passengers on
the car, none of whom was seriously
hurt but all of them were slightly cut
by flying glass and considerably sllak-
en- up.
The accident results from the front
trucks of the fast moving car leaping
the rails at the Jackson park switch.
Has Front Teeth Knocked Out
Motorman Denney had some of his
front teeth knocked out, his face and
hands were cut and he was consider
ably bruised
Conductor Chapman had his right
arm strained and he was also slightly
cut and bruised.
When the front trucks left the rails
the car broke down two trolley poles
standing between the main line and
the switch and the fallen high-power
wires furnished a brilliant electric dis
play. The. progress of the car was
stopped when it collided with a third
trolley pole, which pole prevented the
car from topping over on its side. The
rear wheels never left the main line
rails.
Traffic Blocked Long Time.

HALIFAX, N. s., Feb. 22.-One Of
the German embassy secretaries re-
turning to Germany with former Am
bassador Won Bernstorff on the steam
ship Frederick VIII which is being ex-
amined here by British authorities on
her voyage from New York to Copen-
hagen is reported to have 200 suits of
pajamss in his possession.
In the baggage of nearly all other
members of the party, cotton goods
known to be scarce in Germany are
plentiful, the customs inspectors have
discovered.
In view of the close association be-
tween cotton and explosives it is un-
derstood that the examiners will take
some of the excess clothing from the
Germans and make an allowance for
it.
IT is learned also that the Germans
are well supplied with gold. AS this

FOOD RI0TING CONTINUES in NEW YORK
"Bone Dry" Bill
Covers One Third
of United States
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-Legisla-
tion absolutely barring importation of
liquor into prohibition states stood ap-
proved today by congress. The final
stage in the action in the legislation,
was reached late yesterday when the
house voted 319 to 70 to concur in the
Reed "bone-dry" amendment to the
postoffice appropriation bill. The
amendment already had been APPROX
ed by the senate.
The bill, with its prohibition provis-
ion, accepted by the house without
change, and other senate amendments,
which were disagreed to, now goes to
both houses tomorrow.
It is regarded as unlikely, however,
that the prohibition feature will be
changed and President Wilson is ex-
pected to give it his approval, thereby
adding Immediately to the "bone-dry"
territory about third of continental
United States. The bill also contains
provision barring liquor advertise
ment in states that prohibit such ad-
vertising.

MAYOR MITCHELL
ORDERS FULL DATA
ON FOOD SUPPLY
(By Associated Press)


NEW YORK. Feb. 22.-Heads Of
city departments asserted today that
n superficial examination of municipal
statistics failed to show results that
might be attributed to lack of sulfci-
ent nourishment caused by the high
price OF food
In obedience to instructions from
Mayor Mitchell, they began, however
a careful investigation to learn If
there was any basis for complaints
voiced at the mass meetings in the
poorer districts this week and by
committees that have called on the
mayor.
At the Offices of the board Of health
IL was said that the death rate con-
tinued to be lower this year than last
and that statistics of illness apparent
ly did not show that lack of nourish-
ment had been an increasing cause
of disease.
These figures are not taken as
final because the acute rise in prices
has been too recent to be reflected in
statistics now available.
Public charities officials said that
applications for admission to the
poorhouse had increased recently, The
municipal lodging house which is
barometer of unemployed rather than
of high prices has of late been shell
tering only half its capacity.
A survey of the city directed by the
mayor will ascertain the prevailing
retail prices of foodstuffs in quarters
where the distress is greatest and dis
cover what stocks of food are on
hand.
The department heads have been
asked to report so that their findings
may be laid before the board Of alder
men at its meeting tomorrow.

The German press has lately been

pared to quit the fight. whereas the
success of the loan proves that the
English people are as strong financial
ly as militarily. There is the truth
which the nation that began the war is
