Show Hi I Society j B A recent copy of tlie New York Herald contains B a new version of the story of the Injury suffered H byft William E. Corey, president of the United B States Steel company. It also has a local interest, fl as-the accident took place during a cruise on a B , yacht owned by Walter Filer, formerly of this B city, but now residing in New York. The story B runs as follows: M lleports current in Wall street lately that the H condition of WiHam E. Corey, president of the H United States Steel Corporation, who has been B confined to his room as the result of an accident H on a yachting trip, was far more serious than H had been announced, were found to be exagger- H ated at his apartments, in Sherry's, where ho is B stopping. The report that he had suffered the breaking H of a leg in three places was contradicted, and k it was stated that the Injury had included but H a small fracture and a consequent painful twist- H Ing of the ligaments. F sent a cablegram to H Mrs. Corey, who is iu -ce, assuring her that H he would be able tt -ve about on crutches H within a few days. H This is the second accident bordering on the M serious which Mr. Corey has sustained within H the last three months. In company with Walter H Filer and other friends he was on a short yacht- H ing cruise, when he stumbled over a chair and H was thrown violently against a skylight. The H injury was so painful that he was unable to walk H and he was removed to apartments at Sherry's H after the yacht had been driven to anchorage. H The report given out in Wall street at that time H was that he had suffered merely a sprained ankle. H On July 10th last Mr. and Mrs. Corey narrowly H escaped serious injury in an automobile accident H while motoring from their chateau near Paris H to that city, where they were to attend a lunch- H eon given by Prince von Radolin at the German H embassy. When about three miles out of Paris H the machine became unmanageable and its oc- Hi cupants were thrown out. M. Godllleau, manager H, of Mr. Corey's French estate, who was in the H motor car, was seriously hurt. Mr. Corey was H severely bruised and slightly injured about the H head and chest. Mrs. Corey was uninjured, even H the blue satin dress which she wore not being H torn. Peasants provided a conveyance by which H the members of the party were taken to Paris.
