Mother Dead; Baby Born.

A boy baby brought into the world
ten minutes after his mothers death
was kicking and gurgling and clinch-
ing his pink fists at Fordham Hospl-
tai in New Yrok, yesterday.
He is perfectly formed and in the
lustiest of health.
The operation which saved his life
after such an interval following the
death of his mother was performed by
hospital surgeon, Herman Schorr,
who is only 90 years old, and who had
to do his deft and marvelously swift
word without the advice of any other
surgeon.
The mother of the child was Mrs.
Rebecca Lipschitz, wifi of Samuel
Lipscbitz. Thursday evening just al
ter supper she complained of feeling
,,nwell She had never had an illness
in her life; but now, before she could
explain how she felt she tainted. "A
physjcian was called and he saw at
ouce that the woman had had an at
tack of appoplexy. He had an ambu-
lance called and the dying woman was
taken to Fordham Hospital where four
hours later she died.
When the nurse summoned LIZ.
Schorr and told him Mrs. LlpschitZ
was dead, he found that the paralysis
which had killed the mother had not
vet extended to her baby and deter
mined to try to save the little life.
The operation took 80 seconds.

ROOSEYELT"S CLAIM.

Positive possession of the Pre;ilden-
tial nomination WAS yesterday claim
ed by Theodore Roosevelt while in
DAYTON. Ohio. After hearing from
California and receiving several con-
fidential kilograms early at kenton,
he asserted that Taft could not be
renominatcd. Later, he issued this
definite claim on his own behalf:
"'rhe number Of delegates necessary
to nominate is $50. OF the delegates
already elected. without counting the
contested delegates, have more than
500. OF the delegates yet to be elect
ed. am confident will receive
enough to insure my nomination on
the first ballot"
William ii. Seward was equally sure
of being nominated for President by
the Republican convention in Chicago
in 1860. Horace Greeley, who had
been fighting Seward for months, was
about to throw up the sponge few
minutes before the stampede for
Lincoln took place. Politics are UNI
certain This has often been demon
strated in local as we'll as national af-
fairs.

A FORTUNE FOR A COURTESY

According to the accounting of the
executor of the estatae of the late
Mrs. Helen Amelia Marsh, filed yes
terday in New Haven, Conn, Ernest
w. NARROW, of New York receives
sos, 1OO.72.
Through a small act of kindness
Mr.. NARROW, who is now young
practising attorney in New York gets
this sum.
He had boarded a pullman car for
Washington one day several years
ago, when Mrs. Marsh, who was then
an eldery widow and long a resident
of New Haven, appeared, but through
some misunderstanding did not have
q parlor car seat. Mr.. NARROW offered
her his chair.
Mrs. Marsh took his name and adj
dress and later became interested in
him to the extent that she helped him
through Harvard and later through
the Columbia Law School. In her will
Mrs. Marsh made some legacies, after
which she provided that the reidue of
her estate 60 to the young man who
had bcfriendcd her. The entire estate
amounted to $4,000.

At least one officer of the Leyland

At least one officer of the Leylant
liner California believes the Califor-
nian was in the vicinity of the Titanic
the night the White Star liner went
down and that, although he did moi
know it, he actually saw her sink, as
the lights of the vessel they were
watching disappeared. Charles Grove
the third officer of the Californian, the
man in question, so testified in the
course of yesterdays Board of Trade
inquiry, in London. His fellow Off
GERS disagreed with him, but from the
remarks of Lord Mersey, the presl-
dent of the inquiry, he concurs in the
belief of Grove. Evans, the wireless
operator of the Californian, also tes-
titled that he told the captain on the
night of the disaster that he believed
the Titanic was near the Californian,

team average to date, 942.s.
All teams have rolled twenty-seven
games, thereby reaching the seasons half

only two games each way behind the lead
ing pair.
Each week produces new leader i'll the
