A According to Winston, he and hit | companions had been to Fort Washing- ton, Md., in scarch of employment and | were returning home about 5:30 o'clock heading toward Marlboro pike. The ac- cident occurred a mile this side of Clin- ton. Winston asserted that he saw thi truck coming toward them from Washe ington, loaded with lumber, some time before it struck their car. Its course was so uncertain, he said, that sev- eral times a motorist proceeding in the same direction attempted to pass it, but without success. He was sitting beside Humphrey, the driver, and the others were on the rea: eat and were viewing the oncoming truck with apprehension. Humphre was_steering his car off the cement road along the extreme right of the highway as the truck neared them so as to avoid a collision, Winston de clared. He turned to the rear of thc car to say something. he told police and then the two machines crashed. Auto Rolls Down Bank. Norton and Fagan were hurled clear. and the automobile rolled down th- bank, striking a tree at the bottom The machine was lying on its side Reaching up and opening the doo above his head, Winston clambered ou to find Fagan recovering consciousness Together they pulled Turner and Hum- phrey from the wreckage. Coleman was thrown from his seat | on the truck as was another man who had been sitting beside him. The sec- ond man's identity is not kncwn.

Constable Thompson said today that when he arrived on the scene the truck ‘was about 6 feet from the left edge of the road. It was only slightly damaged. | The automobile was almost demolished. Mrs. Esther Norton, wife of the dead man, who, with their two children, Evelyn, 5 years old, and Helen, 3 years old, had been visiting a sister in Lay- tonsville, Md., arrived in Washington this morning.

GERMAN PRESS SPLIT ON REPUBLIC DAY Tenth Anniversary of Fall of Monarchy Finds Divergence of Opinion. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, November 9.—The tenth an- niversary of the proclamation of the German republic today rekindled jour- fatherland with surprising vehemence, between paeans of praise for the new era, which began on November 9, 1918, and what was described in the monarchistic press ‘Germany’s day of deepest dis- grace.” Depending on the point of view, Ebert, i Scheidemann,. Noske and their co- workers for the republic were described as courageous men who saved the fatherland from disaster or as usurpers who foreed their Emperor into exile. 1 WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY' Wll] Rogers debts _except those contracted by mysell.

Selection of Site for Two New Dir- igibles’ Port Sought in De- partment Statement. Information that will aid in the se- for the two new dirigibles, contract for which has been let, is being sought by the Navy Department, according to a statement issued by Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Aeronautics Edward . Warner. He said that the Pacific Coast was the logical place, and added thers have been several offers of sites, some of which have been on terms that amount almost to gift of the land. While there is no authority from Congress to establish a new base, the matter is one which must become ac- tive shortly if airship development is to continue. “The Navy Department.” the state- ment continues, “is particularly desirous that the base be located where mete- orological and other conditions will be as near ideal as practicable. A salis- bond | factory site requires at least an 880- acre tract of drained land. The mini- mum dimension of the tract should oe at least 4,000 feet. Approaches to the site should be clear of high obstruc- tions, and there should be no mountains for a number of miles in any direction. It is desirable that the site be near some existing naval activity. Winds should be gentle and so far as possible constant in direction. “The Navy Department is endeavor- ing to obtain data of the following character: “Area available, including map show- ing location, with contours, if prac- ticable; nature of terrain (including nature of soil and quality of surface drainage) ; nature of surrounding terri- tory (within a distance of 15 or 20 miles) with especial reference to hills and to trees or any other high obstruc- tions within 2 or 3 miles. “A contour map should be furnished if practicable. The information should also include a report on the water sup- ply, transportation and housing facili- ties in the neighborhood, prevailing wind direction and intensity at each season, temperature conditions, average rainfall and seasonal distribution, fre- quency of thunderstorms and prev- alence of fog and low cloud.” ‘ Exactly in general appearance as it was when opened, a book store in Lon- don has just celebrated its birthday.

He was taken to Emer- | gency Hospital and foynd to be suffer- | ing from a fractured skull, numerous cuts and bruises. B Murphy was in pursuit -of a high- powered sedan that was speeding south on Connecticut avenue and thought to have been going at least 60 miles an hour, his superiors were told. At the intersection of Porter street an auto- mobile operated by Joseph A. Brown, 15612 Sixteenth street, an_official of the { Black & White Taxicab Co., pulled into | Connecticut avenue. Unable to swerve around him, Murphy crashed into Brown's machine, the force of the impact throwing him many feet in the air. Brown picked Marphy up and rushed him to the hospital and reported the case. The car chased by Murphy continued toward the city and at Connecticut avenue and vert street Policeman J. W. Carroll gave pursuit in a small car. He was so badly outdistanced that the large car was out of sight before he could get | across the Connecticut Avenue Bridge. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. TODAY.

These charges are not of complicity | in the plot against the Spanish premier. although their arrests were made ori; inally on that count, but involve the alleged swindling of an American. | whose name has been given variously as Pau! Rosenbaum of Philadelphia, and “Blumenthal,” a banker of Phila- delphia, of $35,000. | In this connection the explanation has been made here that the Spanish government had evidence to support both the embezzlement and conspiracy | charges against the men, but preferred to prosecute on the former, embezzle- | ment being a most serious offense in Spain. | The officers are Col.
