MIS. MILLER LEAVES HOSPITAL FOR HOME

Give* Her Version of Auto Accident Early Sunday—Says She Wu Struck.

Mrs. Gertrude Mailer, thn *i*tim of «ji automobile accident last Saturday Bight, ha« recovered from the effects Of her injuries sufficiently to be removed to her hoijie, 23*4 -South Fourth street, where she is being cared for by her mother. Mrs. Miller gave fcer »ide of the story to a Tribune reporter, Friday morning. "I did not jump out of the automobile," said Mrs. Miller, "I whs hit by someone in the car and then either pushed out or else fell out. I had taken a few drinks, but I was not intoxicated and knew when we left the roadhouse and when we were driving flown Lafayete aventfe, so I know 1 Would not jump from a fast moving machine. "To commence with I was feeling badly Saturday evening and did not want to go out at' all but two friends, I

Miss Helen Light, of North Fourth! street, and Opal Clatfelter, of India nsipolis, came to my home and insisted ^hat I go with them, fc'went along for I company, but' there was no one with me. All evening I sat with the driver while the other two couples sat in the rear seat."

Bruises show all over the girl's face, and her mother says there is hardly a spot on her body that is not also bruised. The doctor stated »to Mrs. Miller, after the accident, that she j4ju1U not have sustained air of the cruises on her body from falling from a machine.

Mrs. J. Burns, the girl's mother, insists that her daughter's actions show that she had a dread of some member uf the .party. The first day that the girl was at home Edward Baker, one of the men in the machine at the time of the accident, called to see Mrs. Miller, and as soon as Mrs. Miller heard his voice she became nervous, and although partially unconscious »nd unable to talk, she motioned Raker away from the door with her hand.

Mr*. Burns says that the two girls who were with her daughter afterwards told her that Baker was leaning over her daughter, who was in the front seat, and that Mrs. Miller kept lelling Baker to leave her alone or *he would get- out of the machine, ."--omeone in the party screamed that

Baker was choking Gertrude." Mrs. Miller insists that the other members of the party "have tried to yive me the worst of it," while she was in a helpless condition in the hospital, and says that she was not really a member of the party, having simply gone along at the request of the other two girls and not having any company

The name of Mrs. Cecile Miller, wife of Dr. C- P. Miller, a well known dentist, wm confused with that of Mrs. Gertrude Miller in the first account 'of the accident. She is not an acquaintance of any of the parties in the episode and of course knew nothing about the affair.

BARGAIN PERIODS PREVAIL IN SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT

Local Itanobise League to Launch Big Membership Drive At Early Date.

"This Is essentially the psychological moment for the granting of woman suffrage."

Ti.is quotation, taken from a statemint made hv President Wilson soon will be flashed on local movie screens by the Woman's Franchise league of Terre Haute as a part of their propaganda for the big membership drive. Indiana suffragists expect to have on their membership rolls at the conclusion of the campaign 100,000 names. A special "bargain" has been offered In membership during the campaign, the regular membership fee having been reduced from 75 cents to 50 cents. The membership campaign occupied most of the time of the league at its meeting Friday morning.

Miss Susan Ball was elected a member of the franchise board, succeeding Mrs. Ernest Lee in this capacity, Mrs. Lee having resigned as a board member upon her election as city chairman. Miss Ball's term of office will be two years.

Men are beginning to take a greater interest in the franchise league than they hare formerly, five of the new ifiembere reported at Friday's meeting beinft men. Whether this is due to the bargain membership or the actual interest «f the men, the women have not been able to determine.

Next Friday afternoon the league board will meet at 8 o'clock In the afternoon and at 4 o'clock all of the ward and precinct workers for the membership campaign win hold a meeting ia the Chamber of Commerce rooma

A CONCESSION.

The wtfe of a successful young literary man had hired a buxom Dutch girl to do the housework. Several weeks passed and from seeing her master constantly about the house, the girl received an erroneous impression. "Ogscuse me, Mrs. Blank," she said to her mistress one day, "but I like to say somedings." "Well, Kena?"

The girl blushed, fumbled with her apron, and then replied. "Veil, you pay m- eight dollars a veck—" "Tee, and I really can't pay you any more." "lira not dot," responded the girl, "trat I be villing to take six tollers till —till your husband gets work."—Boston Transcript. A

NEW YORK, Ang. 23.—George Ehret, the aged brewer, who arrived in an Atlantic port on a Norwegian steamship yesterday, walked into his big brick house at 1197 Park avenue about noon and with tears in his eyes said: "Thank God, I'm home again!"

tried to get out of Germany and return to the United States, but each time illness prevented. When Ambassador Gerard arranged to leave Berlin Mr. Ehret had planned to join his party, but oil the advice of physicians cancelled the trip.

In the latter part of May the brewer, accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Anna M. von Zedlitz. left ©erlin and started for Copenhagen. Illness agtan overtook him and it was not until June 1 that he arrived there.

Because of his feebleness George Ehret, Jr., asked reporters not to question his father at great length. Mr. Ehret did say: "I am an American, not a German. My sympathies are entirely with the United States and I am a gTeat admirer of President Wilson. While in Germany I was urged repeatedly to buy German war bonds but refused each time."

George Ehret. Jr., said that becarrse of his father's refusal to buy the war tosne* of the German empire he met

with many rebuffs and criticism was heaped upon him. "There are many others in Gerfaany," said tKe son, "who do not believe in this war, and they told my father that they were not in sympathy with the military crowd which is pushing it. Of course they did not say anything like that openly, but they said it to him. "My father tells me that food conditions in Germany are bad as far as civilians, who have no money, are concerned, but that the army is well fed and gets the best of everything. "Why they let him leave Germany is a question, but I believe from what he has told me that they became convinced that they could not get hold of any of his property and because of his age decided to let him come home."

In Copenhagen Mr. Ehret hired two Norwegian ship captains to accompany him to this country, paying them $425 apiece for taking care of him on the way over.

Mr. Ehret said that the would soon

enter an appeal to have his property, which is now held by his son and the Central Trust company, and has been carefully inventoried at the request of the alien property custodian, returned to him. He said yesterday that he has been a citizen of the United States for more than fifty years and will base his appeal upon that fact.

Mrs. Von Zedlitz, who accompanied his father on the trip, said: "While my father and I were in Berlin we were registered as enemy aliens. Other enemy aliens have to report to the authorities once a week, but on account of my father's condition we were only asked to report once a month. We l:ept pretty well to our rooms, because we were enemy aliens, and did not put ourselves forward in any waj'. We were treated with courtesy and kindness at all times.

There has been but little celebration of military events in the last two years, and the people have come to believe that it is a game of give and take. First one side wins and then the other. There is still general confidence in victory for Germany."

George Ehret, Jr., referring to his father's refusal to buy German war issues, said the estate has purchased $2,000,008 of the last issue of Liberty Bonds, subscribed $120,000 to the American Red Cross and $21,000 to the Knights of Columbus fund.

The Ehret home was decorated with three large American flags yesterday. *0
