have been possible in No. 1. Another

will probably die from injuries receiv
ed when he was struck down by a
Ford car on the concrete road Tues

Dr. J. G. McMaster, who was called
to attend Simms, stated today ihni
because of his’TG years it was hardly
likely that he would recover although
he might linger for some time. The
man is suffering more from shock
than from visible physical injuries.
His body was considerably hrulsea
but no bones were broken.
Simms deelares that the car was
traveling at a high rate of speed ann
without lights and that although he
made every effort to get out of the
way it was too ,late when he saw the
car, so suddenly did it come unon
him. Simms declares that he was
walking near the edge of the concrete
as it was possible for him to se* ana
that he was on the proper s de of the
road for pedestrians. He does not
know who was driving the car as It
did not stop. For a moment he
thought, as he lay on the concrete af
ter having been struck the terrible
blow that he saw’ the ear slow down
for the purpose of stopping to render
him assistance but in this, he said,
he might have been mistaken.

program Of the commonwealth
The governor urged the legislators
not to hasten through their work,
simply lo get home, but remain as
long as necessary. He urged that
there he no cuts in the appropr'atlon

soldiers, and for the state hospital, all
demanding enlarged appropriation,
and “to increase th** levy under exist
ing conditions would be unthinkable.”
