REICHSTAG STRIKE
NOT MENTIONED
BY BERLIN PAPERS
Nor Is There Any Statement That Won
Hindenburg Has Been Summoned
By the Emperor.

Copenhagen, July According a. tx
Berlin newspapers, the crown prince in
an interview with Riechstag party lead
ers, including Socialists, interested him
self chiefly in obtaining views on the per
son and policy of Won Bethmann Holl-
veg. He quizzed each deputy privately
encouraging all to express their views
freely. The crown prince is reported to
have said he was doing this in accordance
with the wish of the emperor.
The morning papers appear to have
had no intimation of the impending
strike of the Reichstag deputies and the
emperor's summons to Won Hindenburg.

DEAF WOMAN HIT
BY AUTOMOBILE
Mrs. A. L. Jameson Was with Two Young
Girls When Run Down BY Edwin
Ross Vehicle

Mrs. A. L. Jameson, an elderly woman
dition at her home on the East Montpe-
lier road as the result of an accident
last evening in which she was run down
by an automobile owned and operated by
Edwin Ross, a local barber and jitney
driver. Two little girls, Misses Rosa
Pruneau and Bessie Lahower, who were
with Mrs. Jameson, escaped injury, as
did occupants of the jitney, Ford car.
Confusion due in part to the woman's
| nfirmities are believed to have been
measureably responsible for the acci-
dent. Mrs. Jameson and her two COM
panions were returning from a neigh
bor's house shortly after 8 o'clock They
were walking toward the fork in the
highway where the road branches in the
directions of Plainfield and East Montpe
lier when Ross and his passengers, Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Smith of this city.
came along in the automobile.
1t is said that the presence of team
near the point where Mrs. Jameson and
the girls were walking increased the con-
fusion and there are indications that the
chauffeur of the car sounded his horn
loudly and at frequent intervals in an
effort to make the woman hear. The
little girls were too frightened to act
with discretion, or else they failed to
make their elderly companion understand
her danger, for just as the car came
along, Mrs. Jameson, who had stepped
aside for the team, started for the mid
die of the highway. The autoist applied
his emergency brake and had nearly sue
ceeded in stopping his car when it struck
the woman.
Almost st the some instant, the auto
mobile wss halted and when the occu-
pants of the car alighted, Mrs. Jameson
was living in the road with her right
shoulder under one of the forward wheels.
The blow dazed her and for several mo-
ments difficulty was encountered in re-
viying her Mr.. and Mrs. Smith, having
been summoned to st. Johnsbury by
news that their son had figured in a Sc
-ious accident, were hurTying to his bed
tide, but with the driver they succeeded
N placing the woman in the car, after
notifying members of her family. Mrs.
Jameson was brought to the Office Of DR..
VI. L. Chandler. but the exact nature Of
Ter injuries could not be determined
eadilv. There is a deep brnise on her
ight shoulder, evidently caused by con
act with the mudguard, and the pa
lent complains Of internal pains. To-
ay it was said that she rested fairly
omfortably during the night. and un-
sss internal injuries develop, the posi-
ility OF rib fractures being paramount,
er ultimate recovery seems assured.
