SERIOUSLY
 HURT WHEN GAR !. HITS A TROLLEY
Another Auto Running Into Scene of Accident Strikes
 Child.

Two persons are known to be seri- ously injured and others are being treated at local physicians offices as a result of a double collision in State street near Colorado avenue this af- ternoon in which two trolley cars and two jitneys participated.
 The known injured are Mrs. A. c. Cuneo, aged 30 years, 231 Mountain Grove street, suffering from lacera- tions of the face and body, bruises of the right shoulder and probable in- ternal injuries, at St. Vincent's hos pital; Harry Weston, living at 299 West avenue. a shell inspector em- ployed by the British government, who was taken to Dr. c. c. Godfrey's office where triangular cut of his face and scalp was treated. The po- lice are searching for an unknown child who was hastily conveyed to some physicians office in a cut and bleeding condition. Her injuries are not knpwn.
 Adolph P. Johnson, Kings High way, Fairfield, is held by the police without bonds under charges of in- toxicatiop anad reckless driving. liar ry Macco, jitney driver, who gave his address to the Third precinct police station officials as 24 Monroe St., was not held, when witnesses declared he did all in his power to avoid collision.
 The accident is described to have happened when the Johnson jitney driven east on State street, attempted to pass a standing trolley car on the left hand side. It came in direct collision with a trolley car travelling west in State street. The Johnson jitney, which was wrecked, was close ly followed by that driven by Macco, who, trying to avoid striking Mrs. Cuneo and Weston who had been thrown into the street swung sharply to the right At this moment pas sengers jumping from the two cars and running from the sidewalk began to fill the street. Macco is said to thrown on his brakes but before the car could stop skidding it had struck a child who ran directly from the curb. Tn the confusion the child was carried away in a strangers arms and has not been located. Flying glass is believed to have severely cut sev- eral others in the trolley car, whose names have not been ascertained.

A struggle between Mrs. Margaret Burgess, probation officer at the city court, and an irate mother, who at tempted to assault Mrs. Burgess, in the court corridor this morning, was prevented by the timely appearance of Police Superintendent John H.

The mother admitted her daughter was a good girl, earning $14 a week in the U. M. c. plant, SIP of which she never failed to weekly turn over to her parents.
