AUTO BACKS AGAINST HER
Mrs, Idella K. Knapp suffers
Broken Leg While Crossing
Street From Franklin So.

Mrs. Idella X. Knapp of 80 HaW-
ley street is confined to her home
with a broken leg as the result Of
being hit by a small coupe at the
corner Of Main and Elm streets at
about O'Clock Tuesday evening,
She is dressmaking teacher at
the Senior High school and was
returning home after remaining
overtime at the school.
According to information re-
ceived today. she and fellow
teacher, Miss Antoinette J. White,
We're given the signal at the cross
walk to go from Franklin square to
the corner OF Main and Elm street,
and as they were nearing the other
side OF the street a car driven by
Joseph Was of Elm street backed
into them. Miss White managed to
escape uninjured but the rear
bumper OF the car struck Mrs.
Knapp and she rode on 1t for sew

who saw the accident that had she
not turned and fell on the bumper
the car would have passed over her.
She was taken to her home by her
brother George kron.

Effort after effort to obtain an

erty bills failed. Twice after leaders
OF the deadlocked forces had reach
cd agreements, Senator Blease. dem
ocrat, South Carolina, prevented the

Reed of Pennsylvania led the fill

trely, his motion was rejected 81 to

the floor for the third time since the
continuing session began at II a. m.
yesterday. He declared that senators
on both sides Of the political aisle
were acting like "a lot OF little
boys"
Speaking for the other side, sena-
tor Walsh, democrat, Massachusetts.
attacked the flibuster. and advised
his democratic colleagues not to "be
deferred by these threats that the
deficiency, the public buildings and
other bills will fall
II shall not subordinate honesty
in elections for even bills necessary
to carry on the business OF this gov
eminent" said Walsh. IF no other
man Will, l shall stand here until
noon tomorrow insisting upon vote
on this resolution
But in the main. the fight re-
solved itself into a duel between the
two Reeds, known to the senate as
the celebrated senatorial cousins.
The Pennsylvania played his cards
craftily, and did not scorn to use
some OF the lessons he had learned
from the stormy legislative career
OF his distant kinsman. At one point
he created diversion by presenting
the credentials Of Senator elect
Ware of Pennsylvania, starting
long argument. At another he
swung into a discussion of the alien
property bill, bearing down on con-
troversial points so that his fill
buster was prolonged by frequent
interruptions, many OF them from
those Senators who stand solidly
behind his opponent, Reed OF Mis-
souri,.
The alien property discussion
naturally brought up the subject Of
the Treaty OF Versailles. and the
Pennsylvania read portions Of 1t,
remarking with a smile that he
would like to read it all into the
record. but would not delay the
senate" by doing so.

NEW YORK, Oct. Though
speculative interest in the railroad
stocks was well maintained in the
early trading, the most vigorous
forward movements took place in
General Motors, United States Steel
and q few Of the speciality stocks.
A block Of 10000 shares of the
new General Motors stock sold at
1897 014O at the opening, after
which heavy trading took place
around 140A.
The old stock was meanwhile
whipped up to 281, as numerous
large blocks of the stock, from 5000
to 5000 shares, changed hands.
Liquidation of United States Steel,
which was in process during Mon.
days spectacular forward swing of
the rails, appeared to have suddenly
discontinued, and the old. bel.
wether gained nearly points in
heavy trading in the first half hour.
Ability of the market to keep
going" rather than special new de-
velopments in trade and business,
was the principal factor behind the
urgent buying Of stocks at widely
scattered speculative centers in this
period.
The high.grade railroad shares
with favorable dividend records con.
tinued to attract aggressive and
confident investment buying, funds

.BLEASE IS OUT
FOR BORAH

The Democratic party must get
rid of all its present leaders and
reorgantze its rank and file before
1t can elect any Democrat to the
Presidency of the United States.
Senator Cole Blease CD Of South
Carolina, stormy petrol Of the
Senate, said here today.
Blease called on the party to re.
dedicate itself to Jeffersonian prin.
ciples, choose new leaders and
adopt new platform Of Democratic
issues.
The South Carolinian touched on
Republican politics by predicting
the nomination and reelection Of
President Coolidge.
Il still believe Coolidge will be
nominated by the Republicans and
there is very little likelihood of
him being defeated in 1928 with
the Democratic party in the con-
dition it now boasts said Blease.
Il believe the Democrats with
their present leaders and present
organization and intra-party strife
will never elect a President. They
must change their leaders and
change their organization before
they can expect to win a Presi-
Dental election
There Is one man who could win
for the Democrats next year if he
We're nominated, Blease said. That
man is Senator William e. Borah.
the Idaho Republican independent.
McAdoo says he will not run

POTOMAC BARS
ANNEXATION

A throw back on Revolutionary
days was enacted in Potomac, Va,
today when residents Of that Old
Dominion town defied the residents
of Alexandra to carry out plan
to annex four square miles of Airing
ton county-almost half Of the Dis
trict.
The defy was hurled at Alex
andria last night when some 800 in
habitants of Potomac met with the
city council to lodge scathing
denunciation of Alexandria's plan,
which was termed "a steal.-pure
and simple"
Speakers accused Alexandria of
planning to make the annexation in
order to obtain control of the Poto-
mac freight yard region, with its
$3.50, 900 annual revenue.
Mayor William Kleysteuber began
the attack on Alexandria when he
declared that rather than become
citizens OF that city, he, as well as
other residents of Potomac, would
move farther away from Alexandria.
Louis A. MacMahon, of Clarendon,
Republican candidate for the house
Of delegates, denounced the annexa-
ton plan as did also L. c. McNemar,
OF Lyon Park; Arthur Orr, of the
northern part Of the county, and
Walter v. Varney, corporation coun-
sci of Potomac.
Amid applause, Orr introduced a
counterpart whereby Potomac should
annex all of the county other than
that which Alexandria grabs onto"
