Trolley Car Hits Auto.
DR.. E. G.. Kefauver And Three
Boys MiraculOusly Escape
Being Killed.

On Thursday evening of last week
while crossing the H. & F. Trolley road
about half mile south of Thurmont, the
automobile driven by DR.. K. c. Kefauver
of this place, was struck by the heavy
Thurmont car and completely demolished.
DR.. Kefauver was returning to Thur
mont after attending patient at the
home of Mr.. M. l.. Harbaugh. and was
at the same time speeding along to ans
wer call from the Western Maryland
Railroad on arrival of the incoming even
ing train going west.
Just prior 10 the accident very heavy
rain storm broke, and he was driving
| direct in the face of the rain, and on a
road running almost parallel with the
track until within probably so feet of
the crossing.
In the car with the doctor were three
little boys who live neighbors to him,
their names being Carl and Morris Van
horn, sons of MIR. and Mrs. Sam'l Van
horn, and David Mumford, son of Rev.
and Mrs. Carl Mumford, who are stop
pirg at the home of Miss Hadie Beard.
Both trolley and auto got on the cross
ing at the same time, the trolley striking
the auto back of the front seat. The
auto and occupants were lifted clear off
the ground and knocked thirty feet along
the track, a rear wheel striking the side
of the trolley and knocking out two-win-
dows.
The rear portion of the body of the
auto in which were Carl Vinhorn and
David Mumford was broken clear off the
machine and with the boys carried ahead
of the running gear of the auto some 20
feet. DR.. Kefauver kept his seat at the
wheel and landed amid the wreckrge
Morris Vanhorn who was sitting beside
the doctor got out somehow.
After the trolley stopped and AN in
vestigation made, it was found that DR..
Kefauver was badly bruised on his left
side. His left eye soon closed and it was
thought his left arm was broken Severe
pain in his side made him think perhaps
a rib or two were broken.
Carl Vanhorn was cut severely on the
head, while his brother escaped almost
without scratch. Little David Num-
ford was cut about the head.
The injured were placed on the trolley
and brought to Thurmont, and were
taken to their homes by Mr.. VIM. Stoner
in his automobile. DR.. M. A. Birely
dressed the boys wounds, while DR..
johnson of Frederick examined DR.. Ke-
fauver. He found no bones broken. The
two physicians then saw all the victims.
To see the wrecked auto, it is hard to
conceive how any of the occupants es-
capped instant death.
A young man, passenger on the
trolley was cut by glass where the auto
wheel plunged through the window.
Mr.. Erasmus Eyler of this place was
motorman and this adds another to his
list of accidents Persons who ride fire.
quently on this car declare Mr.. Eyler
is most careful motorman, but yet it
would seem that misfortune pursues him
at all times.
The crossing is a bad one when all
conditions are favorable, and when rain
is falling in torrents, it is doubly danger
GUS.
The injured boys were all out Sunday,
but DR.. Kefauver has beer confined to
his bed until the present time. On Sum-
day near rs friends called to see him.

Gas Tank Blows Up.
Three Men Narrowly Escape
Serious Injury.

Following close after other accidents
and excitement about Thurmont last
week, an accident occurred Saturday about
noon at the Thurmont Garage that might
have killed three men and resulted in the
destruction of the building.
The heavy gas tank on one of l..
R. Washes road trucks sprang leak.
The tank was emptied on Friday previous
and taken to the garage for repairs.
One hole had been soldered and Mr..
Vincent O'Toole Vas preparing to solder
the second. Upon placing his soldering
iron to the hole an explosion occurred,
the tank being blown apart and in a
number of pieces.
Mr.. O'Toole and his helper. Mr.. Ross
Delaplane, and Mr.. Clinton Waesche
were all close to the tank when the ex-
plosion occurred. The two latter were
knocked some distance away and each
had his eyebrows and hair singed by the
flame. Parts of the tank struck Mr..
O'Toole in the face, inflicting severe
wound on his forehead over his right eye
and cutting his nose at several places.
His hair was also scorched. The blaze
set fire to some oil and wo odwork but
this was extinguished by Mr.. Delaplane
by using a chemical powder kept on hand
for use in case of fire.
DIR. M. A. Birely dressed Mr.. O'Toole's
wounds and the latter has been working
most of the time since he was injured.
Many gas tanks have been repaired by
Mr.. O'Toole but this is the fl irst time he
has met with an accident.

bowels, strengthen the digestion and
give you a chance to realize the real joy

Winnipeg, May 17.-With the labor
forces and returned soldiers in, COM
plete control, commercial, Industrial
and municipal Winnipeg was paralyzed
by the general strike which was de-
clared in sympathy with the strikes
Of building and metal trades employ
ees. Sunday morning quiet marked
conditions In the downtown district
and no disorder has been reported to
the police or newspapers from any
Source.
The stereotypers and webb press
men decided to join the general strike.
As a result all three Winnipeg daily
newspapers will undoubtedly suspend
publication. The strike committee is
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of the La
Dor News, q weekly labor organ, pub
fishing a daily edition.
The telephone company employees
Joined the strike. Gas and electric
light plants were permitted to oper-
ate for the present at least.
Existing differences between the
Great War Veterans association and
the unions, regarding the soldiers at
titude favoring the deportation Of all
enemy aliens, have been sidetracked for
the time being as a result of the agree
ment In which the soldiers indorsed
the strike and promised to use every
available means to maintain law and
order. As the unions membership in
cludes a number of Winnipeg aliens, it
was stated by union. leaders and re-
turned soldiers that the alien problem
would be considered by the two bodies
after the strike is settled.
Neither the striking forces nor the
Industrial elements opposed to union
ism have made public moves of i'm
portance and the situation was re-
ferred to as an alright deadlock. For
NAL approval of the strike by the re-
turned soldiers has been the overshad-
owing development since the strike
was called and 1t is understood that
this action is being considered by gov
ernment officials at Ottawa. In some
quarters it is expected that the next
move in the situation might be made
by the federal government.

together with their numerous experts,
have been as busy as bees formulat-
ing objections to the German treaty.
Several of these were transmitted to
the allies last week and most of them
were rather summarily answered, and
dismissed. These formal objections
were considered mere preliminary
skirmishes, and meanwhile the Ger
mans were preparing elaborate coun-
ter-proposals. These, it is said, would
contain two dominant diplomatic fea-

CABINET CRISIS IN sight
Minority Socialists, Who Are Expected
to Come Into Power if Ebert Gov
ernment Fails, Say Treaty
Must Be Signed.

Berlin, May 15.-The declaration by
Chancellor Scheidemann in the nation
al assembly that the peace terms were
unacceptable" brought the members
of the assembly, the spectators and
those in the press gallery to their feet
in hurricane of cheers and applause.
The chancellor paused in his address
and then thundered out the word
which announced the German govern
ment's rejection of the Versailles con-
ditions.
Leaders of the various groups, with
the exception of the Hugo Haase
group, made speeches backing the gov
ernment.
The chancellor described the peace
treaty as dreadful and murderous''
document. He said it would make an
enormous Jail of Germany, in which
60,000,OO0 persons would have to labor
for the victors in the war. The chan.
cellor said German trade would be
strangled should the peace terms be
accepted.
"That is the Jail picture in its ex-
ternal aspects" he continued, without
ships because the mercantile fleet
passes into entente hands, without ca
bles, without colonies, without foreign
settlements, without reciprocity and
legal protection-yes, and even with
out the right to cooperate in fixing the
prices for the goods and articles which
we have to deliver as tribute.
u ask you what honest man will say
that Germany can accept such condi
tions? At the same time, as we shall
have to bestir ourselves to perform
forced labor for the benefit of the
entire world, our foreign trade, the
sole Source of our welfare, is destroyed
and our home trade is rendered impos
sible."
He criticized President Wilson ant
said that the president by his attitude
had deceived the hopes of the German
people.
"Even if important changes are no
made by the negotiations begun a
Versailles, there remains no choice bu
to bow to compulsiOn and sign th'
treaty" says an appeal of the centra
committee of the Independent socialis
party in the party organ, Die Freiheit
Ut has been predicted that the Ber
lin government, in the event that
should decide to go down in a blaze o
glory by rejection of the peace terms
would be succeeded by the minorit,
socialists led by Hugo Haase.)

TO CUT WHEAT PRICE
REDUCTION REACHING FROM
MILLER TO BAKER PLANNED.
Director Barnes Says Representatives
of Grain Industry Agreed to Pro-
posaI at New York Meet.

New York, May 16.-An immediate
reduction in the price of wheat, reach
ing all down the line from the pro-
ducer to the baker, is believed as
sured, according to a statement IS
sued by julius Barnes, wheat director,
following a prolonged conference be-
tween Mr.. Barnes and representatives
of the grain industry, including grain
handlers, millers, jobbers and bakers,
TIE statement issued by Mr.. Barnes
says:
"There was general agreement
that in order that all the wheat pro-
ducers of the country should secure
equal benefits, the various trades
could be bound by contracts to see
that wheat trading should be only on
the guaranteed price and, if a lower
basis was justified with the develop
ment of world factors as the season
advanced, this lower basis should be
made to reach the consumer by trade
agreements with millers and manu-
featuring facilities, the wheat director
making the readJuSt1ng basis eHectlVe
by the payment of the difference as
allowed under act of congress.
'In return for protection against a
fall in price, after the guaranteed
price had been made for wheat
bought, the wheat director would re-
quire from the various trades con
tract obligations by which their trade
practices and margins of profit would
be subject to review and control by
the wheat director.
"The bakers were willing to enter
into a contract by which they would
reflect at once in their products the
lower price of -four made effective by
the mills. In this way. down tt
the retail trade there is thought to bt
an assurance that reduced price o.
wheat should be effective immediate
ly all down the line"

SCOURS
SEA FOR NC-3
No Word From the Five MISSING
Flyers Since Saturday
Morning.
PLENTY OF FOOD ON BOARD
Crew Also Has Six Days Supply of
Fresh Water-Nc-1 Was Being
Towed Into Punta DeIgado
When Last Reported.

Washington, May ia great fleet
of American destrOyers and cruisers is
securing the Atlantic in search of the
lost airplane, NC-3, which, with it's
crew of fv'1 men, has been lost since
Saturday morning.
A heavy gale is blowing. No news
of the lost plane has been received
since a wireless reported it between
stations Il and Is at 5:15 Saturday
morning (Washington time).
1t is expected that while the NC-3
may not be far away from the line
Of the Azores, she has no means of
communication, as her sending appa-
ratus, is limited to probably 90 to 80
miles
Have Plenty of Food.
She can, however, receive any news
that is being sent her, and messages
are always flying to the effect that the
seas are being searched and in what
directions the search is proceeding.
1t is believed she has plenty of food
and six days supply of water. The
NC-3 took along about three to four
days rations. If she found that she
was drifting, and might be long time
without being picked up, the crew
would, of course, economize and make
their food last at least a week and
then have plenty to spare. None of
the officials believe, however, that
with the IL ships searching for the
NC-3 her splendid record is to end in a
tragedy.
