DILLINCH4M BROKE
RIGHT WRIST W FALL
Slipped on Stone Floor of Capitol Por'
tico, Arm Doubling Under
Him.

Washington, ID. c., May 20.-Suffer-
ing from a fracture of the right wrist
but still intent upon his congression-
al duties, Senator William P. Dilling-
ham came down to the Capitol YES
terday with his forearm in splints and
was the recipient of warm praise from
his colleagues and friends in the upper
House.
The accident, which will cost Sena-
tor Dillingham; the use of his hand and
arm for some weeks, occurred during
Thursday nights session of the Sem
ate. 1t was approaching closing time
and he stepped out of the door to look
for his car to take him to his hotel.
It was raining heavily and in re-
turning to the corridor the senator
slipped or misjudged a step just
enough to precipitate fall on the
stone floor of the portico.
His right hand was partially dou-
bled under him as he fell and it was
evident that severe hurt had been
sustained.
The senator returned into the Cap
itol and there met Senator Ball Of
Delaware, who. is physician. pr.
Ball made hasty examination OF the
injury and applied first aid, recon-
mending an X-ray photograph as soon
as possible.
After resting short time in the
immigration committee room and at
tending to a. slight cut across the
bridge of his nose where the bow OF
his eve glasses. had lacerated the flesh,
Senator Dillingham; left for his hotel
in his automobile. Fortunately his
glasses were not broken and no injury
was inflicted to his eyes.
Bone of Wrist Fractured.
DR. George Ruffin was called to see
about the injured arm and the A-ray
picture was taken. The result of this
was not ascertained until yesterday,
when it was found that bone in the
wrist had been fractured. In spite of
the fact that the injury panied him 20
verely the greater part Of the night,
Senator Dillingham; insisted upon COM
ing to the Capitol yesterday morning
even though it was necessary to carry
his arm in splints.
