NO MILITARY HONOR COURT
Weimar Assembly Votes to AbolIst
Old Army Tribunal

Weimar, July II. - (By A. P.)-
Owing to the strong opposition shown
toward the projected tobacco monopoly,
the tax commission has finally voted ia
postpone action pending further gov,
ernment investigation.
The National Assembly has rejected
the proposal of the independents to es.
tablish popular courts with judges
elected by the people. The majority
Socialists charged the independents with
attempting to undermine the independ-
ence of the courts in the same mannet
as discipline in the army and public
administration has been undermined.
The assembly also voted abolition Of
the military courts of honor, but only
after desperate efforts by the Conserva-
tives and National Liberals to retain
them. They will be replaced by cen.

MARINE STRIKERS
. REPUO|ATE |. v. v.
Declare Radicals Have Nothing
to Do With Demands for
Better Conditions
VICTORY PREDICTION MADE

Coupling their claim that the entire
Atlantic coast is now tied up with
the accusation that propagandists are
trying to weaken the force of their
demands by attempting TO connect them
with the ]. W. w, local officials Of the
international Seamcn's Union declared
today that one New York firm has nj
ready agreed to their demands.
This firm is tho Brooks Steamship
Company. One Of their freighters. the
Ashburn. is now in Philadelphia, aud
she will move this afternoon, outbound.
''The Ashburn is the first ship to be
able to get out Of port since Wednes
day" declared Frank Libby, agent for
the union, at their headquarters, 1873
South Second street, From Portland,
Me-, to Port Arthur, Tex, this strike
has it's grip on the Atlantic coast. Up
to now our scale has been the same
as that of the Pacific coast unions, but
would not be surprised if the west
coast were included in the ie-up, un-
less an agreement is reached soon.
Cooks Join in Strike
II was in conference with represen
tatives of the United States Shipping
Board. including Vice Chairman Stev-
ems, at New York Yesterday. We did

same time.
1--WE have 10000 fremen alone to
fight this battle with. Cooks and stew
ards are joining in. As fast as vessels
enter harbor their crews walk out.
Perhaps they know by wireless that
there is a strike on. At any rate
they don't lose any time.
With regard to letter said to have
been sent to Washington by the I. w.
W. headquarters in New York, urging
the wiping out of the strike by agree
ment with an international marine
workers union, Libby said the story was
pure propaganda. This man Scott
that is supposed to sign this letter is
not with the I. W. W, to my knowl-
edge" he said.
That letter was sent from a section
of New York occupied mostly by ship
ping industries. The I. w. w. marine
headquarters is located on Charles
street, while that letter purports to
come from an East Side address.
Fought Against Radicals
1--WE have fought against the I. w.
w. on the East coast for years. If
they did write that letter, it is just
an attempt to identify themselves with
whatever gain is made out of this strike.
AS matter of fact. they haven't any
thing to do with it. The story from
Washington about their writing to the
capital is propaganda, and nothing but
that. Somebody might have to produce
that letter some day"
Among vessels arriving yesterday
which are now tied up are the Western
Maid, Oregon and Gulf Maid Engi-
neers, in sympathy with the strikers, are
said to be locking up and walking out
with the rest of the crews.
There was no disorder reported along
the waterfront, although fully 2000 men
were out this morning

of Anti-Sp0Oners

He asked the constable if we had
been seen acting disorderly."
II cannot say" Mr.. Browning said
the constable answered.
Then. according to Mr.. Browning
the squire announced that they were
each fined $50 and costs, amounting to
a total of $1O7.
Mr.. Browning stated that he paid tie
fine rather than fight the case, because
of the publicity it would cause. His
move was to protect his companion,

of Haverford. Asked if he would bring
suit to recover the fine he paid Mr..
Browning said he had not decided

declared. If they think n man can af-

II forget exactly what they worded
the charge" he said, but it was very
nasty. The whole affair is an out
rage, and I'm angry enough to 20 the
limit about it.
From the time it occurred. three
weeks ago, until now l kept silent
about it to protect my companion. But

Mr.. Browning is a prominent club
man of this city. He is a member of
the Union League and other organiza +.
tions here, and of various country and
golf clubs.
The police in the neighboring town
ship of Lower Merton today voiced
opposition to the practice of the
Haverford authorities, and told them
to stay within their own limits while
chasing spOoners. Notice was served
on Chief of Police Hallisey, of Hayer-
ford township, by Captain Donaghy,
of Lower Merton, to this effect today.

others were on the roof.
Walls Give Way

Walls Give Way
Suddenly the front wall cracked, and
gave way down the center. The mon
on the ground shrieked n warning to
their comrades on the walls and lad :
ders, but there was no time to get out
of the way of the avalanching tons of
wood and brick.
The building dropped in the middle,
then the sides slid down into the breach
In n few moments the entire structure
save the back wall was gone. Half a
dozen fremen remained standing on this
back wall, cut off from escape. Before
they could be rescued the back wall
also collapsed. carrying them down into
the ruins.
To add to the horror of the catas-
trophe the great mass of ruins blazed up
furiously. The iremen who survived
were helpless to aid their friends buried
under the blazing debris. Streams of
water were turned on the ruins and men
risked their lives-fremen and police
men as well-to dash in and try to get
some comrade whose arm or leg, pro-
jecting from the wreckage, showed
where his crushed body lay.
When the walls collapsed, part Of
the building occupied by thd Louis
Bloom Art Marble Company, adjoining
it, also fell, endangering additional
lives. Jacob Goldstein, of 9SS North
Fifth street, one of the superintend- =
ents, escaped to ledge on the third
floor, the stairway being cut off. He
was rescued from his perilous position
by Harry II. Bloom, a member of the
firm,

Soon after the fire began crowds
thronged to the scene of the fire. 1t
was during the dinner hour and thou
sands of people we're on the street.
The police had not been able to cstab b-
lish fire lines when the walls fell, and
there was panic among the spectators.
Men and women fed in every drec
ton. The pail of smoke was so dense
and hung so low that 1t was hard for
the fleeing people to see where they
were going. They dashed off in every
direction, fearful that some Of the ad =
joining buildings would fall into the
ruin.
The fire truck that stood in the street
in front Of the warehouse was buried
under tons Of debris. No effort was
made to save it. The firemen and po-
licemen. re-enforced by volunteers from
the crowd and workers from nearby
factories, worked with all their strength
and resource to save the men whose
bodies lay under the wreckage.
