POLE STRUCK BY
CAR HIT WOMAN
Mrs. Louise WeinbIatt Badly
Hurt in Peculiar Accident

Mrs. Louis Weinblatt, of 456 State
street, was seriously injured yester-
day in one of the most peculiar acct
dents ever recorded by the authorities
of the city. The accident haprcred
at the corner of Smith and state
streets when an automobile truck
backed into an iron municipal light
pole. breaking 1t off near the base.
The pole in falling struck Mrs. Vein
blatt, who was wheeling a baby car
riage past the spot at the time. Mrs.
Weinblatt is now at the City Hospital,
where she is slowly recovering.
Mrs. Weinblatt, with the baby car
riage was standing near the light post
talking to another woman, waiting
for the children to come out of school,
when the big furniture truck of Louis
Seller of 1921 Avenue A, New Y ork
City, in charge of driver, Albert Liffak
back up. The truck ran up on the
sidewalk, struck the pole, breaking it
off near the base and throwing 1t in
the direction of Mrs. Weinblatt.
AS the pole fell, the woman talking
to Mrs Weinblatt, yelled, and Mrs.
Weinblatt gave the baby carriage a
push and started to move away. She
was unable to clear the pole entirely
and it struck her on the head and
back. The baby, due to the sudden
push of the carriage fell from the We
hicle but escaped injury.
Mrs. Weinblatt, who was knocked
unconscious was picked up and car
ried to the office of DR.. f. c. Henry,
where she regained consciousness and
after receiving first aid treatment was
rushed to the City Hospital. At the

ture. An X-Ray picture of the pa
tient is being prepared.

under arrest but released in $500 bail
to appear in Court on Monday night.

But 1t was expected they would vote

The first subject to come up was the
labor section of the treaty, to which
number of reservations were pro-
posed. Senator Thomas Democrat,
Colorado, opening the debate, declared
he would vote against ratification IL

Stock Trading Is
Doubled ON Hints
From Washington
Prospect of Immediate Rail.
road Legislation and Mes
sage From the President
Help the Whole Market

Prospects of immediate constructive
legislation by Congress in the railroad
muddle and hints that the President
would issue favorable message bear
ing on the railroad situation within
forty eight hours helped the whole
stock market yesterday. Trading broad
ened, the volume of business being al
most double that of the day before,
while both railroad and industrial
stocks underwent substantial improve
ment.
The action of the general list demon
strated the correctness of the view of
those observers who have been insist
ing for several days that the profess
sional bears had been OVERRIDING things
on the short side. Purchases by this
element for the purpose of covering
their short commitments undoubtedly
were in large part responsible for the
Improvement in the industrial depart
ment. But in the rails there were evil
dences of the best buying in weeks,
particularly of those railroad shares
which have real investment merit.
The forward movement in prices was
most pronounced in certain of the in
dustrial issues which recently dis
played scuh pronounced weakness,
notably Mexican Petroleum, General
Motors, Republic Steel, Baldwin Loco
motive and Crucible Steel. The buy
ing of Steel common was good through
out the day, and that issue got above

large short interest, recently estimated
at upward Of 100000 shares. A rise in
call money to per cent late in the
session served to induce some profit
taking, but closing prices were in the
main we'll above those of the previous
day.
The news on the rails indicated that
the Senate would pass the Cummins
bill before the Sunday recess, follow
ing tho announcement that opponents
of this bit of projected legislation had
decided to call off their threatened fill
buster. This led to the belief in i'm
portant financial quarters that part of
the uncertainty surrounding the rail
road situation might be removed be-
fore the Senate recesses for the holi-
days The pressure that has been
brought to bear against the whole rail
road list for fortnight lightened on
this news, and buying orders came in
in sufficient volume to put prices of
standard rails up a point or two.
Call money renewed at per cent,
but hardened in the afternoon to 8 per
cent The movement in the foreign ex-
changes was more orderly, and ster-
ling, after an early break of about
three cents in the pound, rallied to
