FORD CAR DITCHED
OCCUPANTS INJURED
IN ACCIDENT TODAY
-FOUR Persons From Waukesha Claim
They We're Run Into on Concord
Avenue-Driver Of Other
Car Denies It

An accident which might easily
have resulted in death occurred on
the roadway near the electric power
house in Concord avenue shortly after
IL o'clock today in which two persons
were seriously injured and were taken
to st. Mary's hospital for treatment.
The car was owned by Leo Imig of
Waukesha and according to the story
told the police, he says he was driv-
the vicinity Of the power house heard
the signal to pass. He turned over to
the right as much as possible and the
car behind passed, but just as it was
going by it ran into the forward
wheels and tipped the car into the
ditch. In the car with Imig was a
man named Evans and two ladies.
Both cars were of the Ford make
The other car was driven by Omar
Flueger, who travels for the Upton
Tea Co. He says the other car was
ahead of him and that he passed it.
He denies running into the car and
his machine shows no damage on the
right side. He drove to the Ford gar
age to have the left front wheel mend
ed, which had lost it's bearings during
the trip from Milwaukee. His car num-
Der is 1889. He claims that he did not
know that an accident had happened
until notified by the police down town,
who located him. That no one was
killed is a remarkable thing, as the
ditch where the car toppled over is
steep at that point.
Imig had one arm badly cut and al
SO his face scratched and bruised and
one Of the women was badly bruised,
but it is expected that nothing serious
will follow.

Washington, March 9.-Italian Off

sive against the entente is imminent"
Everything goes to indicate the
operations of Germany in France will
be simultaneous with the offensive Of
Austria against Italy, say the des-
patches. From the same sources it
is learned Austro- Hungarian troops
have already been concentrated in
very large numbers along the entire
Italian line and strong ccntingents are
still moving to our front.
THE Austrian press keeps repeat
ing to its people the Italian front is
weak and the offensive against Italy
being surely successful, peace will be
concluded in the near future. These
statements in the enemy press consti-
tute the usual psychological and po-
litical preparation of the German and
Austrian public preliminary to a new

A CLOVER SMUGGLER
Drug Was Hidden in Holes Bored In
Boards of Trunk

New York, March 9-With the ar
rest of Herman hammers, Holland
er. customs authorities announced
they had uncovered one of the clever
est smuggling devices they had ever
seen, and had seized as a result 1000
tubes of a drug whose public sale Is
forbidden, valued at about $4,000.
A statement issued at the
house said that DR.. Frank Erdwurn,
a lieutenant commander in the naval
reserve, had tried to dispose of the
drug for hammers and had made a
full statement of his connection with
the case.
The drug was brought over by Lam
mers in a trunk aboard the steamship
Nieuw Amsterdam. February 8. 1t
was concealed in tubes inserted into
5000 holes bored into the edges of the
boards of the trunk before it was con-
structed. The attempt by Doctor Erd-
wurn to dispose of the drug led the
customs men to his apartment, where
it was stated, the trunk was found.
Had the carpenter who made the
trunk not used green timber, the
scheme might have worked success
fully, but steam heat acting on the
unseasoned wood caused the joints to
swell disclosing the tubes.
