ing the action of Governor Cox Of Ohio

tributlon in the state. announced to-
day the railroads were working in har-
mony with the Federal Fuel Admins
trstion representatives and would not

tior. while Senator Pitmsn declared
It due to the railroads. Senator Pom
creme declared he believed the rail
roads, coal operators and sometimes
the miners were, in part, responsible

AGED LADY VICTIM
OF AUTO ACCIDENT
TFt. Recovery Journal

A large Jeffery car driven by Miss
Mildred Reuter-, of Ft. Recovery, col
lided with Ford driven by Sylves-
ter Schroer, at the crossroads, one
mile west of Coldwater, Sunday after
noon. Mrs. Joseph Wallischeck, of
this place, and daughter, Christina,
of Dayton, were in the Ford and both
of the ladies were thrown out. Mrs.
Whllischeck' skull was crushed
above the ear. The fracture was
about an inch and a half wide and
about three inches long. She was
taken to the office of DR.. Brumm, at
Coldwater, where twelve pieces of
bone were removed, erposing the
brain. She regained consciousness
about an hour later, and in the ev-
ening was conveyed to her home in
an ambulance.
Physicians state that her condition
is bette than expected, and that she
has fair chance for recovery.
Miss Christina, who was also
thrown from the machine, received
a cash above her right eye and minor
bruises about the face. Sunday had
been a happy day for the aged Mrs.
Wallischeck. She was returning
homo flom witnessing the christening
of her first and only grandchild, the
infant daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Syl-
vest er Schroer, former residents OF
F't. Recovery.
A corn field obscures the vision at
the cross roads, and neither driver
observed the approach of the other
machine. The Jeffery machine was
going north and the Ford west. The
latter reached the crossing a trac-
tion CT second ahead of the Jeffrey,
which struck the front part of the
Ford, throwing the ladies out, and
crushing the fender and straining the
axles. The brakes on the Reuter- car
were set, and when the impact came,
the l"ar end swung around, struck a
telephone pole and overturned, Miss
Reuter- and another lady who was in
the machine were uninjured, but the
big car was practically demolished.
