Blumenberg created sensation by
charging that the stenographic notes

had been faxed by the stenographer IN
the employ Of detective agency.
Blumenberg's friends declare his

Dramatic Close of Night Session.
q A night session, which the senate
Lorimer committee was holding, came
to a sensational close Saturday even
ing when Blumenberg, was adtudged
in contempt for ordering his stenog-
raphers to cease work. Blumenberg
was placed in custody Of the senate
sergeant-at-ar for production before
them Monday.
This was preceded by a dramatic
denunciation from Blumenberg of the
stenographic notes made by J. r..
Sheridan, then on the witness stand,
as TAXED" and manufactured" The
notes purported to have been recorded
from photographic reproduction, OF
the alleged Admission by Charles NC
Gowap at Toronto that he swore false

Throughout the day Blumenberg

Saturday night Immediately after the
session began, Blumenberg, In an ex-

declared youn Sheridan. "A
Senators Jones, Lea and Kenyon. the
only members present. questioned
him. He was asked to whom he had
talked about the notes. Blumenberg
named Mr.. Hines, Attorney Hynes,
Miss Lawler, a committee employe,

'..You did not communicate with q

Jones demanded.

Serious Accident.

Serious Accident.
A serious accident occurred at the Reg
lister building last Saturday morning. A
new paper cutter, a heavy machine weigh
inga thousand pounds, had been received,
and Henry Meleester and Silas Shipley
undertook to get il into the printing room
on the second floor of the building. They
had it on skids, pulling it up the stairway
by means OF block and tackle. Harry
L. Wintermoyer, our next-door neighbor,
was among those who volunteered to
help in the work, and made himself very
useful. The machine had been pulled
up to the top of the stairway when some
thing went wrong and il started back
ward. II slid all the way down the steps,
and before Mr.. Wintermoyer could get
out of the way his right leg was caught
and badly broken just above the ankle.
II was almost miraculous that he was not
crushed TO death by the heavy cutter, and
Silas Shipley also made an extremely
narrow escape, as he was right under it
when it started downward. Mr.. Winter
meyer was carried into his clothing store
adjoining, and Drs. Banks, Burwell and
Myers were soon with him. The injury
was serious one, being a compound
fracture, but the bone was set at once
and the patient made as comfortable as
possible. He was later taken to his
home, where he is now under the care
Of Drs. Grove and Banks, and is doing as
well as could be expected. We very
deeply regret the unfortunate accident,
and join with Mr.. Wintermoyer's friends
in their sympathy, and hope that he may
speedily recover. 1t is queer fact that
the paper cutter was not damaged in the
slightest degree, and later in the day it
was safely landed in its place.
