jured, has occurred in an ambulan-

surgeon, was sitting alone near the
door when the patient suddenly
leaped to his feet and,with scream
fell on the doctor.
The driver, fearing his team
would run away, if he came to the
rescue, headed toward police sta

the combined efforts of four men

Washington. Nov. 1o.-The
question of the control of the Isle
of Pines was brought today directly
to:the attention of President Roose-
velt. A delegation of citizens of the
United States residing on the Isle
of Pines was introduced to the Pres
ide Mt by Senator Cullon, Chairman
of the Senate Committee on foreign
relations. The President was infor-
med that more than half of the is-
land is now owned by Americ an
citizens, and that many had ma de
large investments on the isla nd
under the belief that the Uni ted
States would own it. As res ult
of the turning over of the Isle of
Pines to the Republic of Cuba for
administrative purposes things are
said by the delegation to be in a
chaotic state on the island. There
Is not notary public or judicial
officer on the island. The delegation
is informed that the Republic of
Cuba claims the Isle of Pines and
proposes to establish prisons, penal
colonies and leper hospitals there.
Such a course, if pursued, the del
egation indicated to the President,
would wipe out every dollar inves-
ted in the island.
President Roosevelt has prom
ised to consider the subject but in
Gated no line Of procedure he was
likely to take.
President Roosevelt has asked
the Secretary of War to make re-
port on the situation reguardin 6
the Isle of Pines as it was at the
time of the withdrawal of the Uni
ted States from Cuba, and also on
J the government of that island dur
ing the time the United States was
in control in Cuba.
