■ WARSAW, July 28. -Two daring
train robberies were committed in Rus
sian-Poland today, one of them result
ing in a considerable loss of life.
A train from the frontier station,
Herby, bound for. Czentockowa, ' was
carrying money received from the cus
tom house *o the branch Imperial bank
under the protcctio of several guards.
deneral $ukat, chief of the frontier
guards; General Weltering, and Cap
tain Laguma, "were passengers. Fif
teen persons boarded the train at a
way station. They evidently had been
waiting for it, and made an attack on
the, guardsmen, who were reinforced
by the officers named.
A regular skirmish followed in which
the two generals, two officials, five
soldiers and one robber were killed and
Col. Brezezicki and one robber wound
ed. The wounded and dead were taken
to Czenstochowt.
The robbers escaped, taking $8000 and
the arms of those who had attempted
, to defend the •'rain against the robbers.
Robbery Near Warsaw
The second , robbery was committed
tonight on the Warsaw- Vlnna railway,
six miles from Warsaw. While the
train was under way unknown persons
pulled the danger signal,, causing it to
stop. •■ ■ - .•',..

jumped out, took possession lof '■ the
locomotive, and, detaching the- mall
car; from the, train, ran- it down the

,;They secured $37,600 of government
money. The robbers evidently were
fully Informed that the-train-had the
money on board. Thry carried red flags
and are supposed to be members of
the Polish Socialist, party. - The train
was -without guard, and hence there
was no fighting and no casualties.
Efforts to captur* the robbers failed.

Czenstochowa is in a ser.ous condition.
He refuses to . give anj\ information
whatsoever concerning his accomplices.

GORKY MAKES STIRRING APPEAL
Asks Americans to Help Russia's De.
' serving Citizens
liy Associated Press. , •
-NEW. . YORK, July 28.— Maxim
Gorky today made public an appeal to
the people of America "to help the
people of Russia to free their coun
try's body from the parasites which
suck Its life's blood." . •
. The appeal was in part as follows:
"The czar has dispersed the douma.
"This small man, trembling on his
throne for his life and power like an
aspen leaf, has with one stroke of the
pen destroyed all semblance of law in
Russia and called into life an ew series
of murders, robberies and outrages.
'The Rusian government 1 will : now
Inaugurate a policy of brutal and bes
tial- reprisals. . The. hangmen • and
,thlev»s surrounding the throne ■ and
supporting it with blood stained hands
have lately heard many bitter and in
sulting truths from, the lips of cour
ageous and honest men. - They will
avenge themselves for. it and their
vengeance >J wil be severe. r
World Will Be Horrified
"The world will be seised with horror
and indignation. Here and there pub
lic meetings will be held at which tho
speakers - will eloquently, denounce tho
<zar and his land of savages. .The
speakers will be rewarded by, applause
und the public will leave the meetings
in the proud conviction that they have
responded to the call of the unfortunate
people of a foreign land and thus dis
charged their duty to humanity. At
the Fame time the blood of the Rus
sians will flow In wide streams.
"Are we civilized people or are we
not?" .
; Gcrky then declares that he- thinks
not, and. that people who live quietly
when everything around them Is soakod
In blood are simply satiated animals.
'He closes with an appeal for help
and asks:
"Are there in this country living men
and women and will they hear me?"

LIQUOR SEIZED
AT LONG BEACH
WAGONLOADS OF WET GOODS
FOUND
Officers From Los Angeles Assist the
Temperance Town Policemen In
a Raid on Drug Stores and
Various Resorts
As a result of a carefully , planned
crusade by Mayor Downs and the au
thorities of Long Beach, officers from
Los Angeles and the . beach city swept
down on various- drug stores, cigar
stands, soda fountain resorts and pool
rooms last night ' and carted away
wagonloads of • the despised liquor,
while the people of Long Beach gath
ered about In shocked amazement that
liquor should be sold in a temperance
town. .
For months i past liquor has I been
sold in small quantities. At times the
odor from the whisky so tainted the
air in front of the dispensaries that the
owners were notified- to be careful.'
Finally it was decided that the viola
tion of the law was ' too flagrant and
the raid was planned. . Several former
raids had. failed because the liqiuor
sellers got wind of : the plans,
• I But- yesterday rib one was .notified
and, to make doubly sure that .the
liquor would be searched for, officers
fronr Constable De la. Monte's , off ice,
who have gained a reputation for their
ability to find concealed property, were
sent- to -Long, Beach.
General Raid. Planned
At 8:30 the officers were escorted.t o
the mayor's home - on Cedar' street.
Even then the dealers were not aware
of the Impending raid. ;, - . -
"It was ordered that the different re
sorts be raided at the "same moment,
and the officers started for their places,
carrying search warrants from Judge
J. J. Hart.
The first place was .a cigar stand
owned by Wesley Holmes at J25 Ocean
Front ' avenue. There/ within sight . of
the street cars, men were being served
with drinks. They -simply, walked up
to the cigar stand and stated that they
wanted to spend . fifteen cents, whereat
they were ushered to the back room
and given whisky. The officers hur
ried to the back room and before -they
could be. Intercepted, they had opened
the iee 'box and seized . the ■ liquor: In
a small^back room there were several
cases of whisky and cognac, with about
fifty empty whisky bottles. These
were packed Into a wagon..
Other Places Visited
In the meantime officers had
swooped down on the cigar stand of
J. L.' Lucas, three doors away, at 111
Ocean Front avenue.' '
There one of Constable De : la.
Monte's men marched up and made a
quick grab for a soda water bottle
labeled strawberry.' The bottle con
tained whisky, and could be easily
banded out from the counter as • soda
water. ■■ In the back part of the estab
lishment was a , trunk full of demi
johns and a number- of bottles of
whisky and cognac.: V
At Clarence Feetham's restaurant on
Pine avenue the officers dashed in.to. to
discover a customer draining the dregs
■from the last bottle of liquor. Sev
eral hundred empty bottles were dis
covered there.
Other warrants were served on vari
ous druggists and '-pool hall keepers
iipcainst whom evidence had already
been , secured, and ■ then the officers,
after having made their first success
ful raid,, so far as capturing the wet
good a was concerned, began a march
to the city hall. There the liquor was
labeled and placed in the evidence
room, while the liquor dealers soon ap
peared and answered to the warrants
being sworn out against them.
Their cases will be tried next
Wednesday. .v."

One person was killed and fifty-three

Sierra Madre car on the Pacific Electric
railroad and the Pasadena-Los Angeles
local on the Southern Pacific at the
crossing of the 'two roads a short dis
tance east of the Oneont.i station at
1:40 o'clock yesterday afternoon!' ;;v'«",' t
■Witnesses declared that the accident
was' partially the fault of Motorman
Perkins' and Conductor Smith, who
were said to hdva been careless,' 1 and
also to have been , the victims of cir
cumstances. ■ ■, ■
Sierre Madre car . No. 283 left ■ Los
Angeles at 1:10 o'clock. It approached
the crossing thirty minutes later and
came to a halt a few feet west of the
tracks. Conductor Smith, according to
the company order, went, to the rail
road track, .then gave the signal to go
ahead! • ''.''-■.- ' '
Fatal Crash Soon Occurs
.Too late he saw the train approaching
at a rate of thlrty-flve nilles an hour.
He; gave. .the signal to stop and the
motorman applied the air. and at' the
same time reversed j the motor. Then,
thinking that he " could : cross ahead of
the train, he threw the motor In a'for
ward motion and applied the full power.
The huge car gave, one leap. , ; .' . -.-, .-
At that' lnstant- the engine crashed
into the. middle of.' the coach,: lifted it
I clear from -the -.tracks'- and -'With the
hrflf • ■ hundred -V: bewildered | persons,
hurled It \ a hundred .feet. , One end. of
the. car struck a telephone pole and the
coach was thrown 'to-the right side of
the traok.'- As it struck the ground it
was- literally ■ torn -to pieces. ;. r
„ The engine was derailed at' the right
side of .the • track jj and the. train was
brought to a stop within a distance of
ten-feet. ;..:.•■•■•.•.. ;,:
Several . passengers were thrown for
many feet to either side of, the traok.
Some were pinioned in their seats, while
others were tossed: about within the car
like a ball in a -tight barrel tumbling
down a hill. . • -. „ ;
'. • 'Not One" Escapes Injury '
. Maimed,' bleeding and bruised, ' those
who ' were . able crawled' from the
wrecked coach. Some had sustained
broken' arms, others had been less for
tunate. None escaped without being
cut by flying glass, for every window
In the car was broken.- • , ■
:, Hurried calls were sent to all of the
nearby i towns and . special cars, with
doctors and nurses, were dispatched
with full speed. - • .
. Probably a score of the passengers
were able to go to their homes with
little or no help. ..The helpless injured
were taken from .. the car and every
thing done to ease their pain until they
could be removed to . hospitals.
Treated at Temporary Hospital
■ A large ' number of the people were
put on cars and - brought to Los An
geles. An emergency hospital was
hastily fitted up at the Pacific . JElec
tric depot.. ■ •..-.'- i . . ■
Many of the injured were able to be
rerjioved to their homes after they
had received first medical attention.
The news of the accident spread rap-
Idly and .within thirty minutes hun
dreds of people were , at the scene of
the wreck gathering souvenirs or tak
ing photographs. . ■ •■ i
When the engine, No. 283, of the
smaller type, struck the street car it
drove the bottom of . It In the center
nearly to the .-ceiling of the car. One
set of trucks was I thrown to the side
of the track. : '
When the car was dropped to the
ground it fell partly on the side. Seats
had been torn loose and the headlight
and other apparatus were demolished.
Two Fortunate Circumstances
. It is regarded .as miraculous that
more than half of the more than two
score people on board were not killed.
That the death list lls not larger Is
accredited to two facts:
..First, that the people, when they
saw the train approaching, rushed to
either end of the car in a mad race
to alight before the collision came.
■When, the middle of the car was drove
in no one was at 'the vulnerable spot.
Second, . because the bottom of the
car was composed of steel. Although
stretched and strained and driven sev
eral feet from Its natural position, the
steel underframe did not give way.
It Is claimed' that had the car been
entirely composed of, wood it would
have been crushed like an eggshell and
that the engine .would have piled
up on It.
A car from the east apreached the
crossing a few minutes after .the ac
cident and a physician on b,oard admin
istered to the Injured. . .
The ■ people who were on board the
railroad train assisted in releasing the
passengers from the wrecked coach.
. Among the first to reach , the scene
were Mr. and Mrs. W. Dlxon, who live
about a quarter of a mile from the
crossing. - They i saw, the collision and
ran at full speed. to the. wreck.
Mrs. Dlxon .received great praise for
her 'work In caring for the ~ injured.
She loosened the women's clothes In
order that they might- breathe* easier
and wet the • lips of ■ those crying, for
water. , ,- ■ <
