CLAIMS SON WAS
BADLY INJURED
BY SPEEDING AUTO
John McGeary in City Hospital
After Being Hit on Cen
trail Avenue.

Complaining that her son had been
run down and seriously injured by a
reckless automobilist on Central ave-
nue. at Morris street, Mrs. Mary Nc
Geary, of 1863 New street, appeared be-
fore Judge Herr in the Second Precinct
Police Court today and asked to be al
lowed to make a formal charge. John
McGeary, 10 years old, is in serious
condition at st. Michaers Hospital.
Judge Herr ordered Clerk Oehring
to summon Charles H. Philips, of 1156
Broad street, the president and treas
urer of the Orange Manufacturing
Company, to appear in court Satur-
day Mrs. McGeary and Special OFF,
Ger McNulty who with his wife was
a witness of the accident, believes
that Philips is the man who ran down
McGeary.
According to Mrs. McGeary's story,
her son was crossing Central avenue at
1920 Tuesday night An automobile,
with a man, woman and baby in it,
was running rapidly down Central ave-
nue. on the wrong side of the street.
John McGeary before he had reached
the middle of the street was hit by
the onrushing machine and hurled
senseless to the side of the road.
Special officer McNulty and his wife
saw the accident. With another eye
witness they called out for the driver
of the automobile to stop. He halted
the machine a block away, The num-
Der of the automobile was 6925-N. j.
The driver gave his name as Charles
II. Phillips.
McGeary was taken to the City Hos
pital He was apparently not badly
injured, and later he was taken home
by his father During the night, how
ever he became worse. His mother,
alarmed, sent for DR. Charles l.. O'Neil,
CT 297 Central avenue. He said that
the condition of the boy was serious,
and that he had sustained injuries to
the spine, head, legs and entire body.
He ordered the boy removed to st.
Michaels Immediately.
Mrs. McGeary appeared in court to-
day to make a complaint against the
driver, who, according to the eye
witnesses, was extremely reckless,
Judge Herr told her to have her seven
witnesses on hand Saturday.

ELEVATOR MAN STOPS CAR
IN TIME TO SAVE A LIFE.

John Prothnitsky, "a years old, of
224 Broome street, owes his life to the
quickness of Isaac Waxler, of %
Broome street, when the latter quick
ly brought to q standstill an elevator
under which Prothnitsl<y was pinned.
The men are employed at the Conti-
mental Leather Goods Company at SS3
High street.
Prothnitsky was standing in the
shaft of the elevator when it was de-
scending, and apparently did not OBJ
serve its coming down. The elevator
grounds on the first floor and there
Is a strong iron door closing 1t from
the street Prothnitsky stood at this
point when Walker, in charge of the
elevator, was descending. Just as it
came to within five feet of the ground
Walker saw form standing beneath
through the space between the eleva-
tor and the wall. He yelled, but it
was too late, and Prothnitsky was held
by the shoulder. A quick stop saved
the mans life, for had 1t come down
completely the mans body would have
been crushed. He was taken to the
City Hospital where 1t was discovered
that his shoulder was dislocated. He
will be able to leave the hospital in
several days.

IS UNSETTLED
Nv Associated Press,

New York, March 22.-Changes at the

light, but most of them were advances
over yesterdays close. Canadian Pacific
was the strongest with a gain Of lac.
National Railways of Mexico, second. pre-
ferred, and Wisconsin Central, advanced
1-2 and Great Northern lost as much.
Stocks of public liabilities were in

otherwise also was better but the inquiry
abated after some of the leaders had
got up half a point or so. Lackawanna
sold at 535, 10 points above the last pre-
vious transaction.
Operations in the stocks of the local

wise trading lacked effective leadership.
AS the local stocks were advanced on
steady buying other issues rose slowly in
sympathy. There was no selling pressure

provements in prices were general Mis-
souri, Pacific, which broke nearly 2
points yesterday on announcement of the
outcome of the meeting was dull and

represented the extreme f1uctuation in

made In a number of less active issues
including Sears Roebuck and American

The trend of prices was downward
centuated by an outbreak of weakness
in Missouri Pacific which gave way from

the close of yesterday. Recessions from
the high level in the stocks ran to about
half a point.
