from Brienon Hopeful.
MOTHER AND SON SAILED
ON MAURITANIA TODAY
Had Received No Definite Re-
port Up to Sailing-But
Wireless Is Used.

Conflicting cablegrams were received
in this city today regarding the con-
dition of those injured in the Feigen-
span auto accident in France.
In answer to cablegram sent by the
STAR to its representative in Paris,
word came that Miss Ann, Neu had not
recovered consciousness and was in
desperate condition, and that Miss Ella
Feigenspan, although badly injured,
was not in so serious condition as
first supposed.
In answer to a message sent Robert
S. Ward, of the leather firm of f. S.
Ward g. Co., of this city, at the request
of Christian w. Feigenspan, to the
firms representative in Paris, word was
received that the two women were not
badly hurt; that Edwin c. Feigenspan
expected to continue his trip about the
end cf the week, and that there was
no occasion for anxiety This was sent
direct by priest at Brienon, where
the hospital in which the injured are
confined is located. The priest is sup
posed to have sent the cable at the re-
quest of the Ward Paris representa-
tive.
This latter message of hopefulness
was sent by wireless to Mrs. .Feigen-
span -Stengel and her son. Christian W.
Feigenspan, who sailed on the Maure-
tania at 10 a. m. today. The other
cablegram was not sent to them, be-
cause it was deemed better not to give
them bad news.
This cablegram was received today
w the STAR from Paris:
Miss ella Feigenspan, although
badly hurt about the head and arm,
is not in a serious condition.
Miss Annie Neu is more serious

Before sailing Mr.. Feigenspan ex-
pressed hopefulness. He said he
thought no news was good news. He
believed that il the injuries were as
serious as at first reported he would
have. heard either from the officials at
Joigny or from his brother, Edwin, who
was not hurt. ~
II should think Edwin would cable
me the first thing if it were serious,
