immigration officers and steam
ship agents assert that RooseveIt's
visit to southern Europe is proving
a great stimulus to immigration to
this country. The enthusiasm
aroused by his presence and the
optimistic speeches made by him are
just the needed things to inspire the
imOrcssionistic Latin races, and the
effect is said to be already noticeable
in increased immigration westward.
Whether this will prove the best
thing for future America yet remains
to be seen. These people from
Southern Europe are radically diff
fercnt from their northern neighbors
and from Americans, and it is a very
grave question whether the assimil-
alton of these races TO a very great
extent will prove beneficial.

After fourteen hours Of frantic dig

gerelli this morning reached his dead
body lying at the bottom of a cave-in
thirty-five feet below the surface of
Baldwin street. Bloomfield. Five tons
of earth, which had fallen upon the
luckless man. killed him almost in
stantly, but the men had worked in
desperate haste In the slender hope
that somehow he might still be alive.
The body was taken 10 Kunz's
Morgue Orange, and will be removed
this evening to the dead mans home,
at 245 Baldwin street, Glen Ridge.
Gingereili had been sent down into
the trench by Contractor J. Richard

The cousin had barely reached the
top when the ten feet of the trench
caved suddenly. burying Gingerelii at
the bottom.
Sisc, frantic with grief and horror,
grabbed up a pick axe and began tear
ing at the tons of earth and stone until
Maxwelps son and some other calmer
men drew him away from the futile
labor and began digging with shovels.
They worked until late last night be-
fore reaching the body; then sent down
Sisc to tie a rope around the dead man
so that they might draw II TO the sur
face. Sisc tied the knot and came
out of the fatal hole; but even as the
other workmen began to pull there
came another cavein, which tore the
rope from the body and buried 1t again
under several tons more of earth.
The digging was resumed again, but
II was after o'clock this morning
when the remains were again uncov-
cred and carried to the surface by the
faithful Sisc.
The dead man leaves wife and -four
