BADLY HURT IN FALL.
Thomas Glennon of Burlington Dropped
Headlong rs Feet.

Burlington, July l3.-Themas Glen
non. of 20 South Champlain street, a
carpenter about So, lies in serious
condition at Mary Fletcher hospital from
injuries sustained in a fall from the
roof Of second story piazza at house
at the corner of Cherry and Battery
street, where he was at work.
His left leg and possibly his hip is
broken and there is bad cut above
the eve.
The accident happened Thursday Mr..
Glennon was at work boarding the roof
of the piazza when plank upon which
he was standing, slipped and he fell
headlong to the ground, a distance of
fully 25 feet. He had his pipe in
his mouth at the time and when he
was picked up unconscious, the bowl
was found on the ground and the stem
was pushed down his throat. Several
teeth were also found in his throat
DIR. c. \. Perkins, who was attending
a patient in the next house, was immedi-
ately called and preparations were made
to convey the injured man to the hos
pital.
Thomas Trow, man employed on
the roof with Glennon, said he was
some distance away and did not sec
him fall, but be saw the plank go,
Frank Sharpley, a carpenter at work
on the lower piazza, saw the form Of
Glennon shoot through the air from
above and fall with thud TO the
ground. He could hardly believe the
man could survive. Glennon was for
merly bridge carpenter and although
he had been in countless hazardous
places during his life, never had been
injured before.

STUDENTS BODY RECOVERED.
Coroner's Inquest Decided Schneider Died
BY Accidental Drowning.

Burlington. July l3.-Ihe body of
John Schneider, the young college stu.
dent who was drowned at Westport early
Thursday morning, was recovered late
that night ana was brought to Bur-
ington on the steamer riconderoga.
Burial was made yesterday afternoon
from the late home on Pearl street, in
the Hebrew cemetery in South Burling-
ton.
The body was found by Fred Mitch
ell, first mate of the steamer, who was
engaged in graphing in the vicinity dur
ing the evening, following search that
continued all day Thursday Mitchell
had thrown his graphing hooks at a
point some distance from the wharf
where the boat was tied up, but on
the opposite side from where it is be-
leved the young man was drowned. On
the second or third attempt. the hooks
caught into the underelothing of the
young Schneler and the body was
brought to the surface, and placed aboard
the steamer.
A coroner's inquest was held, as soon
as possible by New York authorities
and a jury, which brought in verdict
of accidental drowning.
The remains were brought to Burling
ton yesterday and taken to the Sehnel-
Ter home. At the request of the parents,
Health Officer c. Il. Dalton viewed the
body. No marks were found upon it.
A rumor gained currency soon after the
arrival Of the body here that Schneider
had had an alteration with his room
mate on the steamer and the latter in
some way was responsible for his death.
This gave rise to report that an au-
topsy had been ordered by the family.
There proved to be no truth TO the
story, and the autopsy was not per-
formed.

The Shame Of the Senate.

The weakness OF the Lorimer defense
is being pitifully exposed by the speeches
of pro-Lorimer senators. Dillingham; of
Vermont occupied his time abusing the
newspapers. The contribution of Fletch
er of Florida was an attack on Col.
Roosevelt for his refusal to attend n
banquet where Lorimer was to be a
guest of honor. Johnston of Alabama,
following the lead of his Florida coli
league, said that Roosevet's refusal to
dine with Lorinier was "un- Christian
and un-American." Jones of Washing
ton assailed President Taft because the
president, after carefully reading the evil
dence, has not concealed his conviction
that Lorimer should be convicted
Instead of wasting time by such ex-
cursions into irreleyancy, the Lorimer
senators should address themselves to
the case or keep still. There is positive
and explicit testimony that 100000
fund was contributed to secure Lorimer's
election. Members of the legislature
have confessed to having received money
for voting for Lorimer Others are
shown to have been distributors of the
money. If anyone likes to think that
a politician of Lorimer's type had no
knowledge of these transactions he is
at liberty so to think. But even though
Lorimer knew nothing of what was done
in his behalf, this does not validate his
title. 1t is enough to show that he
was elected corruptly. II makes no
difference whether he personally was the
paymaster or not.
The public that has heard and d-
gested the Lorimer testimony is not
victim of clamor. To ask the Senate
to remove the stigma now attaching
to it is not to clamor. The insinuation
that those who demand the removal Of
the malodorous senator are moved by
a desire TO punish a man who is guilt
less is an insplt. If there is anyone
who has anything to say in rebuttal of
the positive evidence that has been
heaped up against Lorimer he should
he listened TO with respect and tolerance,
but the time is over for patience with
those who clamorously shout about
clamOr and demagogically declaim
against demagogy.-New> York Globe.

~. tation Of Section
IN lMBECILE CHILD CASE
All Bars Restricting Admission of Minor
Foreign Born Children of Naturalized
Citizens Swept Away by the
=, New Ruling.

Washington, D. c., July l3.--All bars
restricting the admission to the UniteC
States OF minor foreign born children
of naturalized citizens, whether imbe
Giles, idiots or other forbidden classes
We're swept away yesteday by far
reaching Interpretation of the immigra
tion and naturalization laws by Secre
tary Nagel of the department of com
merce and labor.
The secretary authorized the entry
into this country from Russia Of IL
year-old Aiwke Polayes, who has been
held at Ellis island, New York, foi
several weeks, threatened with deporta.
tion on the certificate of surgeons OF
the public health and marine hospital
service that she is an imbecile. Grant
ing she is an imbecile, the secretary held
that the immigration laws were not ap.
plicable to her because her father, jacob
Polayes of New Haven, Conn, is a
naturali2ed citizen.
Mr.. Nagel interpreted the law to mean
that the naturalization of a man con
ferred American citizenship upon all
his minor children as soon as they re-
linquished their residence abroad.
This decision completely overturned
the previous policy Of the government.
The secretary said the question re-
volyed about the Interpretation of the
word reside" in the immigration act,
which provides that the citizenship shall
become operative when a minor child
"begns to reside permanently in the
United Stntes." Residence being large
ly intention, Mr., Nagel declared that the
constructive residence" Of the child as
soon as it abandoned its foreign home
was the dwelling place of the father.
Consequently when the little girl sailed
from Russia she was constructively re-
siding in the United States.
