I'm. ~

MichaIe Seimonii was taken to the
Emergency hospital Saturday night, suf-
fering severe injuries sustained in q
peculiar manner. Seimondi was riding
on the rear Of an express wagon on
Granite street. He found difficulty in
maintaining his equilibrium and told the
driver Of the rig to proceed slowly. The
driver got the order, but the horse didn't
understand, and gave sudden start
Seimondi, who had been having his
troubles under ordinary conditions, found
the horses movement too much for him,
and pitched hcadforemost out Of the
cart. He struck on his face on the
railroad track 1t was seen that the
man was injured quite badly, so he was
taken to tic hospital. The physicians
worked over Seimondi for two hours and
finally got his face Strengthened out.
The most serious injury was a broken
nose. That member was smashed. hav-
ing received the full force Of the fall.
The doctors had great difficulty in bring
ihS ~ baek INTO shape, ana had also
to remove some pieces Of bone. Tho
flesh was also torn at the top Of the
nose. IN addition, there were cuts ON
the LIPS which required the taking Of
stitches, and cut on the forehead nearly
two inches long. Coal dust was ground
into the cuts, making them more serious.
The hospital people think that Seimondi
will get out of the affair without dis
iignrement, in spite Of the injuries.

SENSATIONAL RAID
ON BOSTON OFFICES
Detectives Descend on Places Where II
legal Operations Are Said to Have
Been Performed on
Women.

Boston, Nov. 13.-Twenty detectives,
headed by Police Captains Joseph Dugan
and Lawrence Cain, made sensational
descent Saturday afternoon upon FIVE
offices on fremont street where, 1t Is
alleged, Illegal operations have been per-
formed on an extensive scale, and al
though the raids did not result in any
arrests, the police found considerable
material which they think will aid them
in the future In each place a photo
graph was taken of tile rooms and of
the instruments found. Hundreds of
people blocked traffic on fremont street
during the raids, and for hours after
ward, the popular impression being that
another girl had met her death in one
of the hospitals, and that the police
had caught the criminals. The action
OF the police was the result of dis
closures which have come to light re-
Gently in connection with the death Of
Susanna Geary, the victim of the dress
suit case tragedy, whose death followed
an Illegal operation, alleged to have been
performed in the office of Mrs. DR.. Jane
Bishop, and the more recent operation
performed on lola Reed, a Is years old
girl of West Newfield, Me. The latter
identified the Bishop Office Saturday as
the place where she was treated. The
work will be continued this week, the
authorities having information in their
possession indicating that the business
Is being conducted on such a large scale
that it has become alarming.
An effort was made to prevent the
officers from entering DR.. Buffers office,
but the policemen promptly smashed in
the doors and proceeded to search the
premises. The establishment which held
the most interest for the raiders was
that of Mrs. Jane Bishop at 17s fremont
stret. 1t was there that greater part
1t the evidence was gathered, and it
Nas there also that the officers learned
Nhe method Of disguise adopted BY per-
#ons performing operations. The police
broke in the glass door after repeated
faps had failed to bring any response.
9#phe door of the safe was open, and
papers were strewn about the floor, in
Sdicating the hasty departure of the per-
sons connected with the institution.
& Books found in desk showed that
an enormous business had been done
Z daily. There are three operating rooms
II the place, all cleverly arranged with
q the idea Of hiding the operator from the
! patient.
In commenting On the fact that The
raids did not result in any arrest, Cap
tain Cain said that the police had only
i begun the crusade against these places
