"Yes, I was in the wreck," said Miss Addams, talking as freely as the wounds and plaster would permit. "I am not seriously hurt; there was an excellent surgeon on the train and everybody was exceedingly kind."
"I was in my section when the accident took place, and was thrown with quite a degree of violence to the side of the coach," Miss Addams explained. "The same jolt that injured me threw my nephew to his feet, saving him from serious hurts. I was thinking of something else at the time and didn't have time to make any effort to save myself. The crash came without warning."
Miss Addams telegraphed Hull House at noon yesterday: "Do not worry; I will arrive tonight."
"It was an interesting meeting," said Miss Addams, referring to the biennial. "One of the best I ever attended. America and the world should be proud of it."
