She was his youngest daughter endeared to. him not only by long companonship, but by falling health. caused by recurrent attacks of epilepsy. Her death leaves Dr. Clem- ems without kin in this country to share his sorrow; for his surviving daughter, Clara, recently married to Gabrilowitsch, the Russian pianist, is now on her way to Europe.
 Death Not Due Directly to Drowning.
 Jean Clemens died not directly from drowning, as was at first supposed, but more probably of strangulation, due to an attack of epilepsy or from heart failure. The body was found in the bathtup with the head only partly submerged. and medical examination showed tonight that the lungs contain ed very little water.
 Maid Discovered Dead Body.
 Miss Clemens had evinced phyncal weariness of late, probably induced bv the extreme excitement Incident 10 her sisters departure to Europe and the recent return of her father from Bermuda.

CITIZENSHIP NOT DENIED
 ON ACCOUNT OF COLOR
What Judge Lowell in U. S. Circuit
 Court Said About It.

Boston, Dec. 24.-In admitting four Armenians to citizenship Judge Low ell in the United States circuit court .oday said that western Asiatics-haye become so mixed with Europeans dur ing the past twenty-five centuries that it is impossible to tell whether they are white or should come under the statutes excluding the inhabitants of hat part of the world and applied us- lally to the yellow race. Judge Low ell also held that congress may amend the statutes to provide more specifical- ly what persons may be admitted into the country. Until that is done and the definition of white person clear ' set forth and narrowed to a par icular race, the circuit. court will not
 eny citizenship to aliens on account f color.
 The case came up on the granting of final citizenship papers to Jacob Halladtian, Mekerdich Ekenskjian. Avak Mouradian. and. Basar Bayentz. The government objected to the grant, D z of the papers on behalf of the de- uf lrtment of commerce and labor on ke ground that the Armenians were Asiatics and not free white persons. In his decision Judge Lowell stated ehat the government attempted to .lassify Asiatics. having already made 10 objection to Hebrews.
 If aboriginal peoples of Asia are sxcluded it Is hard to find a loophole for the admission of the Hebrews" he said.

w GOULD eRoKAw WILLING
 TO TAKE HIS WIFE BACK
Her Counsel sneers at Husband's Of-
 fer of Reconciliation.


 New York, Dec. 24.-One week of happiness in two years of married life was the best w. Gould Brokaw could get out of the bargain, he testified in court today. And yet he is willing to take his wife back. She, however, seems to prefer separation and $60,000 year alimony.
 T bear absolutely no rancor toward my wife" he volunteered in his te.,- timony today; land if she will prom ise to be good, I will take her back in my arms. All I want her to prom ise is that she will not accuse me of going with other women and that shc will stop calling me names. If she makes that promise I will wish her a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year"
 Mrs. Brokaw was not present 10 hear her husbands offer of reconcilia- ton. A severe cold kept her, housed today. But her counsel was disin- clined to credit Mir. Brokaw's sheer ity. If MT. Brokaw means what ne says" commented MT. Baldwin to the court, there is no reason why they should not be reconciled. but I be- lieye it is nothing more than a we'll planned scheme to create favor fo- the defendant"
 At the resumption of hearings today
 
 gle week of welded bliss he would allow. He was sick, he said, at the time, but nevertheless it was the hap piest year of his married life with his present wife. Brokaw has been married and divorced before.
 Quarrels and worry were not good for him, he said. and his physicians advised him not to see Mrs. Brokaw, but he insisted and won.
 CT 0ot1ld not c0apn fn Mro Dro- kaw off my mind" he. explained. "and finally the doctors said she could fisit me. I drove halfway to meet her and for a week she was very loving and affectionate. Everything was lovely"
 Brokaw's lawyer did not press him for the quarrel that terminated this one bright week. Instead. Mir McIn- tyre brought out denials that Brokaw ever set his servants to spying on bis wife, or that he was jealous Of her physicians. He never suspected. he said, that Mrs. Brokaw would elope with one of the doctors. whose name has figured in the suit, because. said Brokaw, the doctor was too effeminate. He never heard his wife mention the name of "Bunnie" Wells, whose pres ence in house party at Great Neck, L.- l., precipitated the final estrange- ment. He only knew that man had slept in his bed-what man he could not find out.
 'T was deeply grieved'' testified Brokaw, "to learn that a man occu- pied my room. when there were bach elor quarters upstairs. Nobody but myself had ever slept in my bed be- fore. I had given orders that nobody should slee pin my private room and Mrs BrokaW knew it."
