pected by the. hospital physicians that

unconscious condition in front Of the
Office OF the Page Betting company, last
Friday night. viii recover. The mans
case is puzzling one to the police and
to the physicians, as ii is impossible
to state for fact the real cause OF
the unfortunate fellows precarious con-
dition.
He was picked up on Friday night,
brought to the police station, where he
received medical attention during the re-
mander Of the night, and on SATURDAY
morning was taken to the Margaret
Pillsbury hospital, where he remains in
an unconscious condition, with the doe
tors expressing no hope of recovery.
When found the man appeared to be
slightly intoxicated aud he had slight
cut over the left eye This injury. the
physicians say. is not the cause of his
present comatose condition.
Doherty gave his home as Brighton,
Mass, and by talking with the police
OF that city by telephone Marshal Kim
bali located Doherty's sister. who came
to this city on the noon train. The
presence Of Miss Doherty in the city
may clear up the mystery which is at
present attached to the case.

SEN. LODGE TELLS
HIS POSITION
To a Great Audience In Boston Last
Evening--He Couldn't Speak for
Five Minutes Because of the
Cheering.

Boston, Jan. 4-On the eve Of the
eonyening Of the legislature, Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge. last night defended
his Is years record in the Senate as
plea for reelection for fourth term.
A majority OF the Republican mem
bers of the House and Senate sat inn
mediateIy in front of Senator Lodge.
Behind them were massed many party
leaders, Office holders. both state and
federal, and the rank and file of the
party. The multitude that stormed the
hall exceeded its capacity and at an
overflow meeting in an adjoining build
ing, Senator Lodge repeated a por-
tion of his speech.
The Symphony hall audience was
armed with flags and was SO enthusi-
astic that when Senator Lodge stepped
on to the platform he was obliged to
wait five minutes for the cheering to
cease.
The speaker reviewed his career in the
Senate and his part in many important
legislative acts.
He declined to discuss direct nomina
tions, but denounced such methods for
the election of United States senator's
In this, he said. he stood upon the Re-
publican platform of two years ago.
Senator Lodge said that he was OPP
posed to a compulsory initiative and
He thoroughly endorsed the
of President Taft.

TOOK SHOT AT FATHER.
Young Man Didn't Mean to Aim So
True.

Rochester, n. H.. Jan. John H.
Foss conductor on the Dover Somers-
worth and Rochester railroad. last night
shot and seriously wounded his stepfa-
ther while the latter was engaged in a
quarrel of some kind with his wife.
Young Foss, il Is alleged, was upon the
second floor in the bath room when he
suddenly heard his mother cry loudly
for help. The cries of bloody murder
proceeding from the woodshed led him
to think that perhaps some tramp had
assaulted his mother while she went
there for some reason, and with the idea
of a possible resistance to be encoun-
tered he took care to provide himself
with a large revolver on the way out.
When he arrived il is said that he
found his stepfather, man Of y years
of age. holding his wife down on the
floor. The young man told him TO get
up. but the old man told him that if he
did not remove himself he would kill
him. Foss then fired with the purpose,
he claims, of soaring the father. but he
evidently took good aim in his excite
ment, for the bullet pierced the shoul-
der.
Foss was arrested later and locked
mp TO await trial in police court to-
day.
