PERCY WALDRON HIT
ON HEAD BY ELEVATOR

Struck on the head by an elevator
when he peered down into the shaft
to see where the elevator was, Percy
Waldron, twenty-five years old, 445
G street northwest, was perhaps
seriously injured yesterday after
noon. Waldron, employed at the
new Chamber Of Commerce building
at Connecticut avenue and H streets
northwest, was removed to the Elmer
gency Hospital in an unconscious
condition.
A few minutes after reaching the
hospital he recovered consciousness
and was sent home. Last night he
was taken i'll and rushed back to the
hospital. Physicians fear that he
may be suffering from fractured
skull or q concussion Of the brain
An X-ray picture will be taken to-
day to determine his injuries.
Police say Waldron was working
on the third floor of the Chamber OF
Commerce building when he was
hit. But for the fact that the eleva.
tor was going slowly he would have
been killed, they say. Waldron fell
back on the floor, narrowly escaping
falling down the shaft.
