OBITUARY..

CYRUS X. CRANE

! Mr.. Crane, whose death at Housatonic.
Mass. July 81, has already been announced,
was a son of the late Chiffon Crane of Brid-
port. After the war he was provost marshal
of this district so long as the Office existed.
The Berkshire (Mass.) Courier says of him
editorially, under the heading, "a Public
Loss" "Housatonic loses a true friend in the
death of Mr.. Cyrus r. Crane After a brief
illness he died on Saturday, July 2lst, at that
village, IN which he has lived during the last
twelve years. Mr.. Crane was a native of
Bridport, Vt, where he was born in 1887.
When the war tor the preservation of the
Union broke out, Mr.. Crane was among the
first to tender his services to his country. He
was member OF the New York seventh and
with his regiment he went to Washington and
remained in camp TOR the defence of that city
during some weeks. He then returned to
Vermont, raised a company 81 and entered
the Fifth infantry, which Col. Small.
ley commanded. Afterwards he joined the
army OF the Potomac while in front OF Manas
sas. Here he was appointed ordnance officer
on Gen. W. H. Smiths staff. In this capacity
he served through the peninsula campaign,
taking active part in the seven days battle
before Richmond and also the bloody contest
at Antietam, where he was severely injured
III the knee. After the war he became en-
gagged in business in New York city and in
1916 he was induced by Hon. John NJ. Seeley
to assume the charge of the Monument mills
at Housatonic. Here he has remained and
has built up a large and prosperous business
in the manufacture of counterpanes. He was
a man of great enterprise and had many 9th
er business interests in the town. During his
residence in Housatonic Mr.. Crane has beer
a public spirited man, ever considering the
true interests OF his employees and the whole
community. He was a man of strong convic
tions and answering in his devotion to duty
His influence was strongly felt and always or
the side of law and order. There are few sucl
men in any community and the whole town
Joins in sympathy with his family and sorrow
for his loss"
Tn Housatonic correspondent OF the same
paper noting his death says: "He was a rep
%resentative man here, and would have beer
anywhere, both from his force OF character
and his business ability. He was a genia
man, and though his mind was bu rdened will
much business, he had a pleasant word and q
smile tor every one he met, even to the little
child. He was a benevolent man to the poor
but in most cases he did not let his left hant
know what his righth and did. He was a Law
and order man and to him more than to any
other perhaps is due the fact that no licenses
were granted this year. He was Il Christian
man"

said, were wrong when they alleged that
the Democrats are for free trade. He
denied that Cleveland's last was a free
trade message any more than Arthur's
last message was a declaration for free
trade. In conclusion he appealed to Pro-
hibitionists to cast a larger vote in ver-
mont next September than they did four
years ago.
Rev. NJ. II. Smith called upon the glee
club for a song, which was given, Rev.
Mr.. Smith made remarks on Mr.. Rhoades
and his speech and managed a collection
to defray the expenses of the convention.
He further proposed votes of thanks to
the glee club, to the ladies for the din
ners provided and to Rev. Mr.. Rhoades
for his speech-all of which were adopt
ed.
Rev. Mr.. Stebbins, who was called for,
said he had always been a Republican,
but couldn't be any longer. He couldn't
go the Chicago platform, which, he said,
was a hodge-podge of claptrap; no man
mas a right to call himself a Christian
patriot unless he puts right before party.
He referred to Senator Edmunds' article
on the tariff in the last February Harper's
and asserted that his figures don't show
what he says they show-that taking the
tariff off tea and coffee didn't lower the
cost of them to the He spoke
of the sheep business and other matters
and urged that people investigate matters
for themselves.
Rev. Mr.. Smith announced that the
collection taken amounted to about $40
and that "a distinguished resident of a
neighboring town who had represented
his town in the legislature"ha had given $50
for the advancement of the cause.

OPIUM SMUGGLING.
A Gigantic Scheme Unearthed
in Chicago.
An EX-GOvernment Clerk Now
Under Arrest.
The Treasury Department at
Washington Stirred Up.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2l.-Another gigantic
conspiracy was brought to light here to-
day. 1t is an opium smuggling scheme,
the extent Of which at the present writing
cannot be Appropriated, though if the
statements made by the government
agents are to be believed many persons in
all parts of the country are involved and
many arrests may be made tonight or to-
morrow. To-day the treasury agents ar
rested a man who registered at the Palmer
house as e. w. Brown of New York. In
his room in a house on Wabash avenue
whittier he had been traced from the
hotel, was found a anvass covered trunk
and l25 pounds of opium.
For sometime the custom house officials
have been looking for a quantity of opium
which was thought to have arrived in this
city from New York, instead of the Pa
clfc coast, presumably to dodge the heavy
duties imposed upon the drug. For a
month a special agent has been engaged
in active search for the stuff and about
ten days g a small quantity OF the drug
was seized at Fort Wayne, Ind. The
news OF the arrest created quite a stir in
tie treasury department at Washington
and the wires were kept busy with orders
anu huStIucIiouS ~ the treasury agent
here.
Agent Tichenor has been sent from
Washington here and now has full charge
of the case. He stated tonight that the
prisoner was not from New York but from
San Francisco, and that he had been
known under the aliases of G. H. Martin
and G. II. Gardner.
For many years the prisoner was in the
nnunrnFnnnf Gnrrtaa .nl r.Aa A~.-.la.11
one of the shrewdest operators. Less
than a year ago be left the service and last
February was arrested in Ogdensburg, N.
Y, on the charge of smuggling opium.
He was afterwards released for reasons
which were never explained. From Og-
densburg Gardner was traced to San
Francisco and thence about two months
G back East in Chicago. He had a
woman as a companion, but the detectives
refused to say whether or not she is under
arrest.

The Immigration investigation.

New YORK, Aug. 2l.-Louis s. Sam
uel, dry goods importer, was the first wit
ness before the congressional investigating
committee this morning. He has a con-
tract for supplying mail and coin bags for
the government. To do this work he
employs $50 hands. On being pressed by
Congressman Spinola, witness acknowl-
edged that the majority of his workmen
are Italians. The committee then exam
ined Samuel Kreutz concerning the i'm
portation of musicians under contract.
He admitted he had broughtsix musicians
from Bavaria under contract, but did not
hold the men to the contract after he
heard it was against the law. Immigra-
ton Commissioner Chas. w. Taintor APP
peared before the committee and called its
attention to the provision of the law by
which the secretary Of the treasury is en-
powered to enter into contract with gov
errors of states and other local authorities
for the carrying out of the provisions of
the contract labor law. He said that no
such contract had ever been entered into
between the secretary of the treasury and
Governor Hill or any other official of this
state. Hence the emigrant commissioners
do not feel it their duty to look after the
observance of the law in this respect.
