WIl|et |. Ashby, Young Craftsman,
Thrown From His Wheel Against
Street Railways Ice Trolley.
TAKEN TO HOME IN NEWPORT NEWS
With Shoulder Broken, Several Ribs
Broken and Bad Scalp Wound the
Patients Condition is Precarious--
No One Knows Just How Accident
Happened.

Mr.. Willet |. Ashby, a draftman
employed in the Newport News ship
yard received injuries that may re-
suit fatally, by being thrown from his
bicycle against the ice-car OF the
Newport News and Old Point Railway
and Electric company yesterday even
ing at $50 o'clock.
Mr. Ashby had been to Old Point
to see the big feet and was return
ing to his home in Newport News
when the accident that may cost him
his life occurred He was riding along
the county road aL a good rate OF
speed When nearing the point where
the tracks of the Hampton Roads
line cross those of the Newport News
and Old Point Railway line, just a
short distance below the Normal
school corner, Mr.. Ashby came up
alongside the ice freight car, which
was being propelled with large mo-
tor car. At this point the road bed is
rough and it is supposed Mr.. Ash
by's wheel must have struck some
object. as he was thrown from the
wheel against the rear steps OF the
ice car with terrific force. The
colauctor stopped his ear and he and
the motorman hurriedly went back to
give assistance to the injured man.
Mr.. Ashby was unconscious and was
bleeding freely from a terrible cash in
his head.
The wounded man was placed
aboard the car. Dr. Harry d. Howe
was hurriedly summoned. Dr. Howe
discovered upon examination that Mr.
Ashby's injuries were very serious
and he had the car take Mr. Ashby to
his home at 213 FOrty-fifth street,
Newport News. DR.. Gary, of Newport
News, was telephoned to meet the
car and joined DIR. Howe when the
car reached the city.
Examination by the physicians
showed that Mr. Ashby has bad
scalp wound. his left shoulder is bad
ly fractured and he has several brok-
en- ribs. He may be internally injur-
ed also. The physicians dressed the
injuries. set the broken bones and
made the patient as comfortable as
possible.
DIR Howe said that Mr. Ashby's In
juni<4are exceedingly dangerous and
that his patients condition is ex-
tremeIy precarious.
Mr.. Ashby lives with his brothers,
Messrs. Charles w. Ashby. and Ches-
ter Ashby, at 213 Fortyfifth street.
Owing TO his condition Mr.. Ashby
was unable to give his version of the
accident, but according to the men IN
charge of the car. the bicycle became
unmanagable and the draftman was

st. Paul Dec. 27.-Contrary to eX-
pectations, developments today in the
controversy between the railroads OF
the northwest and the striking switch
men, instead of resulting in an AMIGA
BILE settlement of the strike resulted
in a wider breach than has hereto
fore existed, Not only have the
swtchmen declared all negotiations
off, but the labor leaders say there
is a strong possibility OF a general
strike by all the allied organizations
belonging to the railway branch Of the
American Federation Of Labor.
II. h. Perham, who has been acting
as chairman of the railway council
in session here, left here tonight for
Washington to seek advice.
There may be general strike,
said Mr.. Perham.
President Hawley of the Switch
mems union asserted:
Several other members of the
railway council beside Mr.. Perham
left for their headquarters tonight TO
make preparations for strike of
their respective orders.
Mr. Perham in speaking of today's
developments said
Friday we were on the verge of n
settlement with the railroads and we
thought the matter would be fixed ny
today. But this morning the rail-
roads presented a mysterious change

that We decided at once to have Moth

In the conference between the rail

USED CRIPPLE GIRL
IN ROBBERY
CONSPIRACY
Unusual Story of Criminal De-
prayity in Which Daughter
Was Induced to Rob Her
Father of $4,000,

lBy Morning Journal Special Leased Wirel
Chicago, Dec. 27.-An unusual story
was outlined in the criminal court
here today in the opening statement
in the trial of eight Italians who are
accused of conspiring with crippled
11-year- Angeline Schiavone to
rob her father an Italian banker.
In his argument Assistant States
Attorney Fleming, told the jury that
Francisco Scvhiavone, uncle OF Ange-
line, three years ago told the girl to
get all the money she could from her
fathers bank to bring it to him and
he would save it for her and when
she had a snug amount she could
marry his son, Michael.
The girl was employed in her faith
er's bank and it is alleged that her
thefts aggregated $4,000 before she
was detected. When money from the
bank was found in her possession she
told her object in taking it, and de-
clared that being crippled, she feared
she would be unable to marry and so
had tried to win a husband with her
fathers money.
Michael Schiavone is lame and five
years the senior of his cousin, Ange-
line.
