BOY HURT BY LOCOMOBILE
 GETS S7,OO0
Ralph s. Baldwin, Aged IA, a
 Norwalk Boy, Wins Lawsuits
RAGING AUTO STRUCK HIM
Large Verdict Against Loco mobile Company of America
 by N. Y. Court.

Ralph s. Baldwin, of Norwalk. who had his right leg badly fractured by being struck by the car which Joe Tracey was driving in the Vanderbilt Cup race on Long Island, on October 9th, 1906, recovered a verdict of $7,000 against the Locomobile Company of America before Justice Garretson, in the Queens County Supreme Court at Long Island City recently. The action which was for $25O00 damages, was brought in the name of the boys father Dr. William H. Baldwin, as guardian.
 In addition to the verdict for the boy the jury also gave the father $1,OOO for expenses incurred in medical treat ment At the time of the accident, 1t was alleged by the plaintiff that Tracey's car skidded out of the course at one of turns and bowled over a crowd of spectators.
 Among the crowd was young Bald win, who with his father and a num- Der of friends had gone to Long Is- land to see the race. As a result of the accident it was testified that the boys leg is three-quarters of an inch shorter than normal and that in con- sequence he is developing curvature of the spine.
 Young Baldwin was struck at the East Norwich turn, where there were many Norwalk people, this being the favorite place of the Norwalk con- seeing the race. The skidding of Tracey's big ninety horse power rac- CT as the driver attempted to make a sharp turn to the left, caused much excitement, as the course was lined with spectators. Tracey's par, be- side side-swipping the boy, had a mar row escape from going into a telegraph pole, but was not damaged. After a brief stop, the intrepid driver whirled away again into the race.
 When young Baldwin was picked up. it was seen that he was very seriously injured, for the bone protruded through the flesh and had stuck into the dirt of the road. Accidents being feared because of the likelihood of the cars leaving the road, and especially at the turns, and the anxiousness of the people to get as close as possible to the track, ambulanceS were sta- toned along the way. East Norwich was considered one of the danger points and an ambulance was close by.
 Master Baldwin was hustled aboard the hospital vehicle, and it was pro- posed that he be hurried away to the Mineola hospital. The ambulance physicians, it was said, maintained that the foot should be amputated. The, boys uncle, Dr. A. H. Baldwin, and his father, Dentist Baldwin, were at the scene The uncle-physician in sisted that there was a chance of saw ing the foot and the lad was made as comfortable as possible and brought across the sound on steamboat, which had taken a large part of the Norwalk race enthusiasts over.
 Master Baldwin had a hard time of it for many weeks, and at one stage while it was thought he was recover ing nicely. tetanus or lock-jaw, set in but was overcome.

MODERN PHILIP OF MACEDON IS
 IN SAD PLIGHT
Immigration Authorities Threaten
 70 Shatter all His Air Castles
PRETTY BRIDE AWAITS NEWS
Denies He is PenniIeSs and Tubercular-Alderman and
 Lawyers Help Him

Philip Constantine, handsome young Macedonian whose boast is that he traces his lineage back to the days of Philip of Macedon. is preparing to give battle worthy of his illustrious namesake to the Immigration authorf- ties who threaten most unseemly end to Philips pretty love story.
 Though detained in Lakeview home by the Charities department. held as victim of the great white plague, Philip says he is not suffering from tuberculosis, and he is preparing with the assistance of Alderman Thomas stewart of the Ninth district and Alt torney John J, Phelan. his counsel to prove his claim
 Awaiting the outcome of the strug- gle with even more interest than Phil whom he married less than a year ago in her home in Macedonia, for if the cruel edict of the immigration authorities is carried out, 1t means the shattering of the pretty air cas- ties the two have been building since childhood.
 Philip bade his childhood sweetheart farewell six years ago, came to Amer 1ca and started to make his fortune He secured steady employment, saved his money, sent for his younger broth CT, and together the two did we'll About a year ago he returned to Mace donia, married his childhood sweet heart, and after a short honeymoon. returned here to amass a little more money to insure her a comfortable home.
 Two months ago he was stricken with severe pains in his right hip. He went to the Galen, Dr. Wrights prf- vate hospital in Lafayette street, and remained there several weeks then went to the Bridgeport hospital. He thought it part of the custom of the country to provide a free hospital for stricken workmen and did not realize the danger he incurred in becoming d city charge.
 Doctors of the city diagnosed his case as tubercular joint of long standing. The board of charities at once began deportation proceedings learning that he had landed in New York less than year ago, and had become public charge. After all the formalities had been compiled wsith and everything was in readiness for his deportation the patient was re- moved from the Bridgeport has oital to the Lakeview hcme whererhe is still under treatment but ssu &Dle to leave, as he is detained practically a prisoner.
 He sent for his brother. and his former employer, Alderman Fletcher. and disclosed the fact that he and his brother have several hundreds of dollars. If he can show that he is in no danger of being a public charge he won't be deported. He claims that he can get several physicians to tes- tify that he is suffering merely from rheumatism of the hip, and that his affliction is only temporary due to exposure in his work as a plasterer
 Attorney Phelan has taken up the matter with the immigration author ities and asked that date be set for a hearing, if they are not con- vinced with the statement of facts he makes in his petition.

 ABANDONMENT OF BABY GIRL
Young Mother Well Dressed and Cultured Vanishes Completely NO MEANS OF IDENTIFICATION Tiny Child in Lakeview Home, While Police Seek to Locate
 Parents

Through a we'll laid and cleverly ex- ecuted plan. a pretty baby girl of not more than a month was last night abandoned at the boarding house of Mrs. M. F. Mead. 10s Courtland street, by an attractive, we'll dressed and cul- tured young woman who represented herself as the chtldrs mother.
 Mrs. Mead reported the abandonment to the police. who at once looked for the mother at the railroad station. convinced she had come here from an- other city and would soon depart. but though Mrs. Mead had a good descrip- tion, the police could not find the wo- man.
 Receiving no further information about the child or its identity, Mrs. Mead today turned the little one over to the care of the Charities depart lnent. and Investigator Morrissey who has had a wealth of experience in the handling of babies of his own, held the wee person tenderly in his arms as 1, he drove with her from Mrs. Mead's to the Lakeview Home.
 Mrs. Mead answered a ring at her | doorbell at 6 last night to find there a young woman with a child on her arm- She sought a furnished room. aAt first she was disinclined to receive Jher, on account of the baby, but gave way to more generous impulse and
 
 f expressed satisfaction at the room and asked Mrs Mead to bring her warm water.
 While Mrs. Mead left the stranger with her daughter. Catherine. the wo- man asked Miss Mead to remain with | the baby while she went out to pro- I cure food. "I'1l have to ask mother" Y" said the daughter. But the caller -overcame her objections, and departed '. before Mrs. Mead's return. She has not been seen since.
 ' Mrs Mead describes the visitor as { short and well rounded, with dark 1, eyes. black hair. and a pleasant face. She wore a black skirt. with two folds about the bottom. and white sweat CT coat beneath her black jacket.
 Mrs. Mead inquired of the applicant as to her husbands whereabouts, and 1.-the woman replied that he would come on from New Jersey as soon as she notified him she had secured suit able place. Other than that. she said nothing as to her Identity. Her name was not even mentioned
 The baby was we'll and comfortably clad. but when the clothing was ex- amfned today at Lakevieyv Home for possible means of Identification it was found that all the garments were new and ready made. There was but one mark. the figure ''3'' denoting the size of the baby's cloak.
 [ The police and charities departments are striving to get some clue as to the woman's identity, but thus far they
 have failed.

ASKS TO GO HOME TO DIE

Sunshine Evelyn Nichols, the IT years old colored girl for several months in St. Vincent's hospital fol- lowing an alleged illegal operation, die in her mothers home, 35 Colum- bus place, yesterday.
 Tomorrow morning Dr. William H. Bunnell, of 1116 Stratford avenue, and Edwin Luckett, negro coach man, will be arrigned in the city court. Both have been under arrest since the latter part of January. Dr. Bunne1l is at liberty in bail of S3,5OO furnished by his mother, Mrs. Julia G. Bunnell, and young Luckett is en: toying his freedom under a bond of $2.500 furnished by Ross H. Farrar, & negro steward.
 The young negress was removed to St. Vfncent's hospital three weeks aft ar. New Years, when it was alleged the Illegal operation was performed. Dr. A. C. Bradley, the family physi- elan, was called to the girls home in Columbus place, and discovering what he believed to be evidences of mal- practice, he reported the case to Su- perintendent of Charities Brennan.
 Dr. c. J. Leverty of the city staff advised the girls removal to the hos pital For several weeks she hovered between life and death, suffering from blood poison, then she was be- 1ieved to be slowly improving Dur xuE IIic ldSI lOIIHlSuL however Sn0 ndQ been growing weaker daily, and when the child's mother learned from the doctors in attendance early this week that there was little or no hope for the girls recovery, she asked that she might be brought home to die.
 Dr. Bunnell and young Luckett's s cases have been continued several weeks at a time awaiting the girls re- Covery. Now it is extremely unlike ly that she will ever be able to take the witness stand.
 Prosecutor Redden who issued the warrants on which the two were ar rested. will prefer the charge of man. slaughter against the two if the girl dies before morning.
 pr. Bunne1l made no statement to the police when he was arrested, but young Luckett, who has been em- ployed by various physicians as coachman. admitted that he paid the expenses of the girls treatment and that he was responsible for her con- dition.
