Visscher | * and W. R. Burrow of New York Only Slightly Hurt— President Walker Operated Upon in Providence Hospi- William-B. Walker of New York, president of the American Thermos Bottle company of Norwich, was very seriously and perhaps fatally injured Wednesday afternoon in an automobile accident on the Potter Hill road, near Westerly, R. 1. With him were C. H. R. Visscher, superintendent of the Thermos factory, and William R. Burrows of Harrison, N. J. They were on their way to Providence. Mr. Walker was operating the automobile, and in making the sharp turn at the Elder Holman vurce, was evidently traveling at too fast speed and as a result the automobile plunged into a gulley on the roadside and turned on its side, badly wrecked. Mr. Walker was pitched headfore- most_over a stone wall and was ren- dered unconscious, the blood flowing from ugly cuts in the head. Messrs. Visscher and Burrows were not seri- ously injured and gave their immedi- ate attention to the care of Mr. Walker. A telephone message from the Ma A. Dammerel place, not far from the scene of the accident, brought Dr. Michael H. Scanlon from Westerly to the scene in very short order in his automobile. It was at once determined that M ‘Walker's injuries were of a very seri- ous character, and he, with Messrs. Visscher and Burrows, were brought to Dr. Scanlon’s office in Charles A. Morgan’s big automobile, which hap- pened along, and was cheerfully given over for the purpose. The three men were covered with blood and the doctor’s office soon had the semblance of an operating room. Dy Scanlon called Drs. May and amplin to his assistance, and they immediately gave their undivided at- tention to Mr. Walker and dressed his wounds, the patient being in a semi- conscious condition. He sustained two compound fractures of the skull, one forming a triangular cut over the Tight eve and the other within a few inches to the rear and near the other frac- . tal—Condition Reported Somewhat Improved. A ture. He also received two long lacera- tions of the scalp. The index finger of his right hand was cut and lacerat- ed and there was hemorrhage of the brain. 4 Mr. Walker's condition was consid- ered as very serious, but Dr. Scanlon said all that was possible was being done for his improvement. He was taken on the 4.14 train for Providence, accompanied by Dr. Scanlon and Messrs. Visscher and Burrows, prior arrangements having been made for veceiving him at the Rhode Island hos- pital. Mr. Viescher's back was strained somewhat and he received a slight cut in the left wrist. Mr. Burrows was severely strained in the right shoulder and side and a_ small piece was cut from the tip of his nose. He also re- ceived slight cuts in the forehead and chin. The automobile was towed to & Westerly garage. An operation was performed at the hospital in the early evening and at 9.30 o'clock his condition was some- what improved. Miss Fay Walker, daughter of Mr. Walker, and Mrs. William B. Morrison, s sister-in-law, who were notified of the accident, hurriedly left New York and arrived in Providence about 10 o'clock Wednesday evening. President Walker was on his way from New London to Providence to visit the glass factory of the General Electric company at Providence with Mr. Visscher and Mr. Burrows, who is chief engineer of the General Elec- tric company of Harrison, N. J. The Thermos president had been here on Monday, but went that night to Port- jand, Me., and had returned to New London about 1.30 Wednesday after- noon. At 2.30 o'clock this (Thursday) morning it was reported from the hospital that Mr. Walker was resting comfortably with a favorable chance of recovery. BELIEVED THAT HE WILL ACCEPT ELECTION Rev. E.

Wednesday morning marked the completion of all the stone work of the big pler which stretches more than 1,000 Teet out into the Thames, where the steamship terminal at New Lon- don is under costruction. Mas- sive granite walls which entend the entire length, together with another wall at the outer end, these enclos- the filled area, added to the bulkheads make a_total linear measurement of about 2,700 feet. The cubic contents of the masonry is estimated at 200,000 feet The completion of this extensive task without accident or serious de- lay is considered a notable achieve- men and the contractor was heartily congratulated by his associates. He distributed cigars and the oocasion was made something of an informal social affalr. An unusual feature of this contract is the fact that it was exccuted in _a much better manner than the terms of the agreement with the state of Connecticyt called for. Mr. Fitzgerald took special pride in the ‘work because of the character of the enterprise and he supplied a better grade of stone and more fin- ished laying of it than were stipu- lated. Other phaces of the terminal con- struction are being pushed forward as rapidly as possible. The sustruc- ture will, it is expected, be fully com- pleted in the fall. Plers for the sup- port of the storehouses which will be a part of the superstructure are to be put in position at once. WILL RUSH WORK AT SILEX MINE.

The invited guests were members of the Society of Colonial Dames, Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities, State and County Histor- ical society and Lucretia Shaw chap. ter, Daughters of the American Revo- Jution.
