street, an employee of the Huiskamp
shoe factory. and his sister Mrs.
Juanita Wonderly, at the northeast
corner of Seventh and Main streets
at $3.50 o'clock this morning.

Of her knees was badly bruised and
it is believed that several ligiments
were severed.

the corner OF Seventh he saw the
automobile coming across Seventh
and blew his horn to let the autoisi

he thought Allen was going to turn
out toward the car tracks and as a
result the collision occurred. Oertel
was coming down Main street from
Eighth street and turned to go up
Seventh street.
Allen. being to the right Of the

both could have avoided IL.

bile hit him when the collision oc-
Cured He is said to have fallen al
most between the wheels. HIS sister

FIND SOL HEWITT IN SIXTH AVENUE
 FATALLY INJURED
We'll Known Stockman Is Picked Up Unconscious.
 Think Auto Hit Him.

Sol Dewitt, widely known stock man an dcattle buyer, lies in criti- cal condition at Davis hospital, suf- fering with injuries to the head and left hip which are expected to prove fatal.
 That he was struck by an automo- bile is the belief of his brother, G. l.. Hewitt, also a well known cattle man, The nature of the injuries lead to that conclusion.
 It was at first believed that Sol Hewitt was riding home on one of his horses, but later it was ascer- tained that all his horses were in the barn, and that he had started home either on a street car or afoot. If he had rode on the car, he must have alighted at Ash and Sixth ave- hue. and th., belief is held that just as he stepped off the car he was

TEUION ARMIES. SLOWLY CLOSING
 ABOUT PRzEMYSL
Petrograd Believes That Slay Successes at SieniaWa
 Offsets Losses.

London, May 29.--Despite violent Russian counter attacks. the Austro- German armies are slowly closing the circle about Przemysl, according to advices from Berlin and Vienna to- night. Ss
 The Russians have brought heavy forces from the Caucasus in an effort to stem the TeutOn drive on the Lem- burg railroad. These reinforcements were released by the lull in that the atre and by bringing them to Galicia Grand Duke Nicholas has avoided weakening other portions of his Po- land-Galicia front, in order to brace his lines around Przemysl.
 Vienna tonight officially reported that Russian counter attacks on the Lubaczckowska river and east of Radymno were repulsed, as were sim liar attacks on the San, along the upper Dneister and near Stryjc and Drobyhez. At all these points, the German offensive is making aprecia- ble progress, it is stated.
 Berlin today reported that further borcza rivers had been hurled back tonic allies along the San toward Przemysl and that Russian counter attacks between the Wysznia and La borcza rivers had ben hurled back an entire Russian regiment being wiped out. Petrograd makes quite lot of the Russian successes at SieniaWa. the opinio min army circles there being that the czar's victory there has on- set the Austro-German successes at Radymno and Goussakoff. Berlin however, states that no fresh Russian 1 move has been made in this vicinity. The western forts of PrZemysi
 aealh are under fire of the Teuton guns and both north and south Of the 1 fortress, the Austro-German attacKs are being pressed with great vlsor.

U. s. Has Proof.


 Washington, May 29.-Until the off, ficial text of the German reply to the American note is received, probably tomorrow President Wilson will re- serve comment.
 This word came from the white house tonight. It is known, how ever, that the United States is pre- pared to controvert every one of the points mentioned in the summary of the German reply received from Berlin.
 Evidence of an indisputable char acter was gathered by the Washing ton government prior to the sending of the lc.e of May 13, to prove that the Lusitania carried no guns, mounted or unmounted; that she carried no explosives within the meaning of American statutes, and that no British vessels have cleared from American ports for several months carrying guns of any char acter.
 The British ambassador here is preparing to transmit assurance from the British government that the Lusitania was not armed, and that she cold not be carried on tha naval list as an auxiliary cruiser unless she were armed and commis- stoned, the latter change from a peaceful merchantman to an auxili- ary cruiser being possible, according to British practice, only in home ports.

USIT A!NIA'S CHARACTER.
Was She A Peaceful Mefcllantr,an or Auxiliary Cruiser!

or Auxiliary Cruiser!
 Washington, May 29-While state department officials momentarily ex- pected word that the German answer was on it's way, Secretary Bryan's carly dispatch gave no indication il had been started from Berlin. Like other messages from Berlin, now that Italy has entered the war. il probably will go from Berlin tc Copenhagen, thence to London and then on to Washington.
 Unofficial advices said the reply would eimbody a proposal to the United states. to defer definite con sideration of Germany's submarine policy and the American demands until the two governments have had an opportunity to determine just what sort of vessel wa; sunk whether the Lusitania were . peace full merchantmen as assumed in tht A,m erican note, or an auxiliary cruiser on the British navy list mounting concealed cannon and car rying munitions of war as indicated by information the German govern. ment claims to have.
 The reply, it was said, would be in effect an invitation to define the terms" to be used in the argument before proceeding with the discus sion. Germany's delay in replyins to the American note had caused widespread speculation in official and diplomatic circles.
