HURT ON ROLLER SKATES
One Had Arm Broken and Other Face
Cut, But Refused Anesthetics

Two BOYS in Washington yesterday
turned down an opportunity to go to
the ball game to their sorrow. They
were Phelps and Barnes Newberry. the
fourteen-year-Old twin sons of Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Truman F. New

They preferred to enjoy snort on roller
skates with Archie Roosevelt. While
skating on Executive avenue. near the
White House office, they collided with
a wagon. Phelps has a badly broken
left arm. and Barnes had his face cut
and lost front tooth. Archie escaped
without injury.
There was lively scent in Executive
avenue about o'clock when the acci-
dent occurred. The injured boys were
cool and walked calmly into the State.
War, and Navy Building, up the two
flights Of stairs, to Secretary Newberry's
office. He had gone home For
tunately, Surgeon General Rixey and
Drs Dubose and Dixon were in their Of
nces. and FASTENED TO the boys aid.
Archie, IN the meantime, rushed over
to the White House and returned with
Miss Hagner, Mrs. Roosevelt's secretary
who aided in dressing the wounds
Neither boy would permit the use OF
anesthetics. and calmly watched the
work Of setting the broken bones of one
and dressing the wounds on the Others
