Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4-Four men

West Fifty first street last night. to the

Fifty-first street.
The clerks in charge could scarcely
believe their eyes when a cover was
drawn aside revealing the face of
George Washington Plunkett. former
senator and former leader of the Fif-
|, teenth assembly district.
1t had been reported in the district
that Senator Plunkett was dying. He
submitted to a serious operation on
last Saturday. News Of his condition
had cast a gloom over the district.
Even the followers of 1.-THE" McManus,
who defeated him for the leadership at
the last primary, and the John F. Dor
danites, who contributed to his over
throw, laid aside the enmity and in
quired solicitously for the old leader
His face bore the marks of suffering
last night. The clerk leaned over the
stretcher and caught these words,
spoken with much effort:
"A man named Plunkett wants to
register"
The clerk nodded
"It's something like forty years that
I've registered without skip, and It's
too late to stop now" the old man
whispered.
They placed the ballot and a pencil

HER SPINE TELEScoPED
Singular Accident to a Baby That
VIII Cripple Her for
Special to The Herald.


WATERBURY, Conn, Nov. Am
ME, baby daughter of David Stern, was
playing today In a bedroom of his
house in the South End, while her
aunt, Miss Rebecca Stern. watched
over her The baby, 13 months old.
toddled back and forth between "
toy horse and "choochoo" cars.
A sudden gust of wind blew the door
open so that it struck the child, which
was bending forward, on the top of
her head. Little Annie fell prone,
without uttering a sound. Her aunt
started up in such haste to go to her
aid that she twisted her ankle and
sank to the floor disabled by bad
fracture. Her screams brought others
of the household to the baby's aid.
The injury to the child is one of the
rarest known to the surgeons, who call
II spinal bifida. This means that the
blow "telescoped" the vertebrae, which
at her age are soft, into one another,
along the whole length of the spine.
If the baby survives she is likely to
be a cripple.
