The first in v- TxS. fS Appointment of a commission to rearrange this city into at least twenty-five voting divisions, so as to clean out the "rotten boroughs," was recommended last night by Councilman W. W. Roper, at the third of four scheduled meetings to consider the division of the Twenty-second ward. During his address the Independent Councilman also characterized the public schools in Germantown as being in the most disgraceful condition of any he had ever seen.

He said also that Germantown, once the bulwark of the reform party, had recently fallen into the power of the Organization. The meeting was held iuthe public library at Germantown and Chelten avenues, and was presided over by J. Lee Patton. About T00 persons attended, making it the largest meeting yet held to discuss the division of the ward. More than seventy-five persons spoke, and these included mainly men and women who made brief remarks concerning their sentiments for and Rain Passes City by as Heat.

I and the oiilv wav of summoning as- sistance was by the ending ot en- pine drivers to various points. An official account of the disaster, which horrified the people -of Belfast, savs that a portion of the railway mark was removed and a number of br.mbs were plnrod in the gap. The engine and the leading coaches jumped the gap, but the explosion of I oiubs threw the other coaches over tho embankment. An officer of the Hussars said it remarkable that casualties were not heavier. The heavy coupling between one roach and the conductor's ab held the coach, which contained officers of the.

troops, on the track jmd none of the officers was injured, before the troop train was bombed an ordinary passenger train passed over the spot where the explosion oerii rre.l. Railway employees working near the scene ot the explosion prior to the rrival of the troop train were held up hv an armed band and herded into a nearbv cottage, where thev were de- I tained until after the troop train had been blown up. Police Barracks Bombed CORK, Ireland. June 24. Police barracks were bombed and there was general street fighting in this city last night, one woman being killed and three girls and three men wounded.

The disorders began at about 7 o'clock when four civilians in a motor threw a bomb at a police station in Tuckey street and another at a barracks close by. The Shandon street and Douglas place barracks were also bombed, but there was little damage done to them. De Valera Arrested and Released 24. Eamonn de Val- era. the Irish Republican leader, was arrested Wednesday night near this eity and later released, it was definite- Iy established today.

There had been earlier denials from the Sinn Fein authorities that he had been apprehended. It appears certain that de Valera was arrested either in error or through overzeal on the part of the officials com-enod. The arrest, it is understood, took place at P.lackrock. Countv Dublin. The prisoner was detained for the night and.

bis identity being learned, he was re leased yesterday afternoon It was supposed at first that a man resembling him had been arrested, and on this ground the Sinn Fein authori ties denied the reports. As a matter of fact, it is declared here, there is no intention on the part of the authorities in Ireland to arrest de Valera. This statement would ap- pear to be borne out by the fact of his being released when his identity was esTatmsned. REAL ESTATE ARRESTED AT SHORE DeteCllVeS With Warrant Find Donnelly in Closet iOf Ventnor Home Crouched in a closet in the bfdroow I Ventnor, John J. Donnelly, widely- known real estate operator this city, was found yesterday and arrested detectives seeking him with a war- rant charging embezzlement.

Donnel- I Tv was nrominentlv mentioned durinc MAN against division. After Robert D. Dripps, former Director of Public Safety, and for many yea'rs a reform leader of Germantown, made a stirring address opposing the division of the ward because of its historic, sentiments and to oppose political intrigue, Councilman Roper was called upon. "It is immaterial to me whether you split the ward or not." said Mr. Roper, "but these meetings show that the people of the Twenty-second ward are taking a personal interest in the issue.

"Germantown has always been the bulwark of reform, but in recent elections, the records show that the Reformers have, been defeated. It seems that more interest should be shown by the voters. "Forty per cent, of the male voters disfranchised themselves at the last election by their failure to vote. It is hard to get election officers under the present unwieldy division of the ward, which makes it a tedious task to prepare for an eleo'on and to count the votes. I believe a split would facilitate, the voting, but that is optional with the voters.

"We need the entire redisricting of Philadelphia, for there are a lot of rotten boroughs in this city. By redisricting Philadelphia, we could get rid of such spots. I am in favor of having a commission appointed to redistrict the city into twenty-five WEATHER CONDITIONS "WASniNCTON. Juno -'4.

SELF-DEFENSE FAILS; GUILTY OP ASSAULT Formiglia Convicted After Trial Reveals He Has Wife Living in Italy Despite a plea of self-defence by the accused man. Michael Formiglia, of 170.S South Bancroft street was found guilty of assult and battery with intent to kill, by a jury before Judge Stern in Quarter Sessions Court. The defendant shot Serafino his brother-in-law, March 22nd last during an argument which resulted from the latter berating his 10-year old sister who had eloped with Formiglia and married him a short time before the It was alleged by Assitant District Attorney Joseph H.

Here is its advice to sufferers from the heat: Don't walk or work in the sun without suitable protection, and above all.

don't hurry lest prostration occurs through over-exertion, the Department declares. "Don't expose yourself unnecessarily to the direct rays of the sun. Walk on the shady side of the street. "Don't work in the heat of the sun without the protection of suitable headgear. Work in the shade when possible.

"Don't hurry. Avoid over-exertion. "Don't eat too much. Eat sparingly of meats, butter, pasteries or any fatty or starchy foods. substances should be omitted entirely.

The diet should be light and include non-heat producing foods such as fresh vegetables. eat too fast. Thorough mastication facilitates digestion and conserves energy. "Don't forget to drink plenty of cool water. Ice-cold water is not recommended.

Weak tea or lemonade will lessen the thirst. "Don't forget to bathe daily. A cold plunge or a shower in the morning prepares the way for the day's work. Another cold bath before retiring at night produces sleep. 4 "Don't wear heavy clothing.

Lightweight and light-colored clothing insures comfjjjrt. "Don't permit old folks to exert themselves during a hot spell. "Don't forget to keep occupied to divert attention from the heat of the day. "Don't indulge in alcoholic beverages, as they increase discomfort and do not keep the body cool. i "Don't permit children to play exposed to the direct rays of the sun.

take children on shopping tours or to indoor amusement places. "Don't fail to select the coolest room in the house for the infant.

June 24." Albert Ln-ker. chairman of the new hippins Hoard, confronted by tli herculean tak of salvaging what he characterized today as the most colossal conimercunl wreck the world ever knew." passed the day in New York enlisting in the salvaging process the most experienced and keenest brains among ship owners and operators. After a luncheon conference with representatives of the most extensive shipping interests of the AtlanMc seaboard and the (lulf. Mr. Lasker announced that President Harding "with- in a week probably will appoint a boards of three high class men wholly inde-; pendent of the I'nited States Shipping Board, who will act as a court of claims to dispose of K)0A00 of outstanding claims which now confront the Shipping Board.

Mr. Lasker said he wanted to warn the public through the press that no material improvement in shipping conditions should be expected, however, within several months. In formulating its new policies rhe Board intends to be sure it is right before it goes ahead. At the same time. Elmer Schlessin-ger, the Chicago attorney who was named on Thursday as the Shipping Board's new general counsel, also came to New York.

He is bent upon tbt early reorganization of the board's legal department. To aid in unraveling the vast accumulation of legal tangles that now beset the government's shipping agency, a dozen of this city most prominent lawyers have? pledged the loan of two or three skilled men from their offices to co-operate with the board's new department for one or two years. Mr. Schlessmger expects to solicit the same help from the bars of Boston and Philadelphia. alter Tcagle, president of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, who had declined the President's offer of the presidency of the Shipping Board, was the presiding host at Chairman Lasker's luncheon.

It was held in the White Hall Club. At the luncheon conference, which was executive in character, Mr. Lasker promised the shipping men, and he af terwards promised the public through the reporters, the disposal or destruc tion of all wooden ships by October 1 next and the sale to private owners of all government-owned tonnage as soon as good business 'judgment dictates. Shipping' Has Collapsed "At present, shipping all over the world has collapsed," said Mr. Lasker after the luncheon.

"That is true of the tonnage under every flag. We hear much of plant (hir present merchant fleet represents the greatest intensive plant expansion in the world's history. With the utter collapse of the shipping industry now prevalent one may imagine the terrible effect this has had upon our war-expanded fleet.

The Shipping Board is. organized to foster not only government ships, but also the development of privately-owned vessels without discrimination. Now, if these vessels are to be sold, the new shipping board must have the closest co-operation of the ship owners and operators and to discuss the problem with them I came here todav. "The best hope in this situation lies in the ship operators themselves; not only because the law says they are to be the ultimate owners; but also be cause they have had the practical experience, I am not going to try to bunk the public with the patriotic razz that everybody in the shipping business is a crook.

June IM That there are two schools of financial thought in this country on the question of foreign loans was made known at the conference last night of Western bankers with President Harding and Secretaries Mellon and Hoover. It developed at the dinner, at which the Western banker-guests were invited to "tak? the lid oil." that the visitor were doubtful about loaning money to Europe. The idea was freely expressed by those present, representing all sections of the West, that the way to right the world situation was to right conditions in the United States.

As to the exchange, situation, they also held that this, too, would be best remedied by production, and that no alleviation the situation would be reached unless Europe checked the issue tf paper money. While the so-called international bankers agree as to the continued issue of paper by the European governments, they say the only way in which trade resumption can be brought about is through the establishments of credits abroad. these two views almost diametrically opposed, tlj.ere is strong evidence of a leaning by the administration to the Western bankers' point of view. It is understood that the. government wilt exercise a considerable degree of censorship over any foreign loans that may be made.

In fact, an understanding now exists that no foreign loans will be floated by private financial interests in this country without having received the prior approval of the administration. One suggestion connected with the general financial situation made at last night's dinner was that in the efforts to bring various interests to the aid of the government in solving difficult problems, the heads of the different Reserve banks come to Washington from time to time and report their views. With the expression of the banking beads in their districts. at their command, it was indicated that valu able information would be thus mad available. The bankers present were as a unit in desiring that there be a revision -of the tax laws this year.

On the proposition of refunding the foreign loans, with practically unlimited powers reposed in the Secretary of the Treasury, as called for in the resolution introduced in the Senate by Penrose yesterday, the bankers were in practically unanimous approval.
