RAY CARVER VICTIM
MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT
Thrown From Machine While Go
ing At High Spssd-At Hos
pital in Critical Condition.

=. 0Oeeo~ss~e~s
Ray Carver was the victim of a
serious motorcycle accident last
Saturday that came near being ia
tai. After taking q motorcycle from
q repair shop here, he gave it try
out on the road near the Fred
Schick farm west of the Big Bend
mill Parties who saw him state
that he was getting around 40 miles
per hour out of the machine when
the frame broke, throwing him
about fifty feet forward. Needless
to say that he was terribly bruised
and cut up after the fall. The skin
was almost entirely torn from his
face, his scull being laid bare.
Otto Schroeder was the first to
reach him and Carver had lost so
much blood that he was very weak.
He was taken to the Lamar hospital
at once, where his injuries were
treated and for some time his life
was despaired of. At last reports
there was fighting chance for his
recovery, but he will bear the
marks of his experience to his dy-
ing Wiley journal.

HUN RAILWAYS
IN BAD SHAPE
Passenger Traffic Only Fif-
teen Per Cent. of Normal,
1t Is Reported

Berlin, Sept. 11.-Herr Beser, the
Prussian Railway Minister, in n
statement to the members of the
Berlin Chamber of Commerce paints
a gloomy picture of affairs on the
state Railways. Every day he said
a subsidy of 100000 marks is
required from the treasury. Pass
enger traffic at present amounts to
only fifteen per cent of normal
he said, and express service has
dropped to four per cent. Higher
tariffs for goods and passengers are
believed inevitable.
The continuous strike and coal
shortage are responsible for these
conditions, according to the min
lister, who says that apart from the
severe traffic restrictions which
have already been enforced, very
far reaching stipulations for the
winter are unavoidable and the
German coal industry must be put
on new footing. If possible, the
use OF coal in its present form,
whereby the gReater part of the
heating units pass up the chimney,
must be prohibited by law.
Owing to the shortage of fuel,
German industries, it is said, are
also interfered with, because they
are unable to keep promises regard
ing time of delivery. Private loco
motive enterprises, the official de-
clares, are doing even worse than
the State services. If possible, he
adds, the waterways must be en-
ployed for purposes of transporta-
ton.

from Smith. He is going to
leave u.s."
Leave u.s." The words were
scarcely more than a whisper, and
the parent did not notice them.
That is, he has written to give
up his place-says he has to leave
town in reply to a letter from
somebody or somewhere. Rather
odd, I think, that my chauffeur
should be obliged. to go to another
city on such short notice"
Why Dad?"
This time the speakers voice was
audible.
Because" the man explained, "it
looks queer-that's all. I wish l
were sure of the fellows honesty"
Dad" Desiree forced herself to
speak naturally, 'if Smith were not
honest he would not notify you of
his intention to depart
We'll. there's some truth in that.

Then. why not take some steps
to recover it," Samuel Leighton
demanded. ASK Annie what she
knows about it-in an off-hand, cas-
ual way, understand. Watch both
her and Smith carefully. If Smith
remains for a while longer, you
must keep an eye on him. Only be
careful that nobody suspects that
you are watching him."
Very well. father" was the
murmured response. II will try to
do as you wish"
Samuel Leighton was hardly on
his way down to his office before
his daughter left the house.
Taking a Fifth Avenue stage
down town, she alighted at Twenty
third street and walked to a tele-
graph office. Here she wrote n
