BERGER DYING 0F
 TROLLEY INJURIES
Former Socialist Congressman
 Has Little Chance

Milwaukee, July r P-Suffering a fracture of the skull and other i:l- juries which he received when struck by a street car early last night, Vic- tor l.. Berger, former socialist con- gressman and publisher of the Mil waukee Leader today was given ouly a scant chance to live by the two doctors who have been at his bed side almost constantly since the time of the accident. He was un- conscious early today.
 Both physicians were pessimistic in their reports, stating that MT. Berger's 69 years and his rather weak constitution probably would not be equal to the strain of the skull fracture, coupled as it is with internal injuries and severe lacera- tions and bruises.
 Keeping watch with the doctors at the bedside through the night were MT. Berger's wife, and his daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Welles as well as seV- eral intimate friends and business associates.
 Walking to Office
 Mr Berger was hit ny a street car while walking from the office of his newspaper to his home. Wit nesses said he apparently became confused in the traffic and after lodging several automobiles seemed not to see the onComing trolley. Although it was not moving fast the impact threw him violently to the pavement.
 Mir. Berger was taken to Emcr- gency hospital where doctors de- clared he had probably suffered a skull fracture and internal injuries in addition to a severe scalp wound and minor cuts and bruises. They did not confirm their diagnosis Of the fracture until shortly before midnight.
