quite seriously injured this morning at

the switch just south of the Cushman &

tured, although minor bruises which he
suffered are not considered serious. This
noon it was stated that the patient was
resting fairly well.
A spare crew from Montpelier was
manning the shifter, with Engineer Lach-
ner at the throttle. Trainmen saw
Adams STOPPING over the switch, shovel
in hand, and thought that he would step
aside as the shifter approached Appar-
emily the section hand did not hear the
a circumstance that may be
accounted for by the fact that strong
wind was blowing. The shifter was NOV

it knocked him cfear of the track.

MANY PRECEDENTS
FOR "HOT TRAIL
President Wilson Acted on Principles Of
International Law Sanctioning
Punitive Expeditions.

Washington, ID. c., March ll.-ln or
dering United States troops into MeXi
co TO hunt down Villas bandit army
President Wilson acted on the principle
OF international law sanctioning punitive
Expeditions against factions in foreign
state which cannot be or are not pre-
vented by the constitutional authorities
OF that state from attacking its neigh
bors.
Authorities on international law and
practice pointed yesterday TO many pre-
cedents witnessing the general accept
ance of this principle. II was written
into the treaty of 1890 between the Unit
ed States and Mexico, which now has
lapsed in the form of provision under
which the military forces of either coun-
| try could pursue marauders across the
international line, where a 'hot trail'
existed, Even before this treaty was ne.
gotiated, however, Benjamin Lawton pur.
sued d band of raiding Apaches into Mex
leo and although the Mexican govern
ment protested it recognized the prinei.
pie on which Lawton acted in acceptance
of the treaty.
Daniel Webster, as secretary of state,
accepted the shot trail" principle in ne
gotiating with Canadian authorities dur
ing the Fenian troubles in Canada. The
Caroline, vessel used by the Fenians to
carry an expedition across the Niagara
river into Canada. was pursued to the
American side by Canadians and there
destroyed. Secretary Webster notified
Canada that the United States would
make no complaint if Canada affirmed,
as she subsequently did, that the danger
of Canadian territory was of such i'm
minence that summary action against
the raider was regarded as imperative.
