HAS FRACTURED SKULL
Young Woman Victim of Motorcycle Accident Is In Critical Condition in the New Haven Hospital.

The condition of Miss Stella Ochef- ska, who was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident Wednesday night near New Haven, and who has since been confined to the New Haven hos pital, was reported this noon as criti- cal, and the police were asked to mo- tify the parents of the girl. Through an error, the name of the young wom- an was given to the local police Thursday morning as Miss Stella Shea.
 Miss Ochefska left this city Wednes- day evening with Edward Krystofik, riding in the side car of a, motorcycle which he was driving. Both were found unconscious near the side of the road at Potter's corner at about mid night and were taken to the New FIa- ven hospital where it was found that the girls skull was fractured. Krys- tofik's condition is not as serious How the accident occurred still remains mystery.
 As yet the parents of Miss Ochefs1a have not visited her at the hospital.

PRESIDENT GLAD
 TO RETURN HOME
On Eve of Departure He Voices Ap- preciatiOn of Many COurtesies
 Extended to Him.

Paris June 28.-President Wilson today on the eve of his departure from France made the following statement:
 AS I look back over the eventful months I have spent in France, my memory is not of conferences and hard work alone, but also of in- numerable acts of generosity and friendship which have made me feel how genuine the sentim ents of France are towards the people of America, and how fortunate I have been to be the representative of our people in the midst of nation which knows how to show us kindness with so much charm and so much open mani festation of what is in it's heart.
 Deeply happy as I am at the prospects of joining my own country men again, I leave France with gen. uine regret, my deep sympathy for her people and belief in her future confirmed, my thought enlarged by the privilege of association with her public men, conscious of more than one affectionate friendship formed, and profoundly grateful for unstinted hospitality and for countless kind nesses which have made me feel well come and at home.
 T take the liberty of bidding France Godspeed as we'll as goodbye and of expressing once more my abid- ing interest and entire confidence in her future.
 WOODROW WILSON,"

 ScFcnty-tWo Chairs Around Table.
 SeVentN-tWo chairs for the plenipo- tent5arieS were drawn up around three sides of the table, which formed an open rectangle for fully so feet in IengI on it's longer side. A chair for M. Clemen2eau, president of the peace conference, was placed in the center of the long table facing the windows, with thOSC for President Wilson and Premier Lloyd George on the right and left hand, respectively The al- lied delegations were arranged in the same order as when the terms were presented 10 the Germans, but the German delegates this time, instead of facing their accusers, were assigned seats at the side of the table nearest the entrance which they could take after all of the others were seated.
 This arrangement would permit them to leave after the signature of the treaty before the allied deIega tlons, no. waiting for the semi-state procession of allied delegates through the long suites of the chateau apart ments to the terrace, from which to witness for time the playing of the versailles fountains before returning to Paris.
 A box of old fashioned goose ouills, sharpened by the expert pen-pointer Of the French foreign office, was placed upon each of the three tables for the use of those delegates who desired to observe the traditional for malities.
 Two large chairs of honor were placed in the Hall of Mirrors for the president of the French senate and chamber of deputies Additional rows of benches covered with tapes try were arranged for the marshals and generals of the Allies, guests Of honor at the signing
