UNITED IN DEATH.
Mr.. and Mrs. f. j. Rea Both Pass
Away.

MIR. and Mrs. E. j. Rea Both Pass
Away.
The death of Mr.. E. ]. Rea, which was
announced in The Star of last evening, was
a great and sad surprise in labor circles,
among whom he was well known. Many of
the most prominent labor men we're un-
aware that he was even critically i'll. They
were today even more greatly shocked to
learn that Mrs. Rea, widow of the deceased,
had followed him during the night and both
are now syirg dead at their former home,
500 F street northwest.
Mr. Rea was taken i'll with typhoid pneu-
monia Thursday last, and Mrs. Rea with
brain fever the following day. Mrs. Rea
speedily became unconscious, and was un-
aware of her husbands death at the time
she also passed away.
Yesterday afternoon the little daughter
of the couple was attacked with a high
fever, and she is also now in critical condi-
tion The double funeral of Mr.. and Mrs
Rea will take place tomorrow afternoon un-
less in the meanwhile the little girl shall
die, in which case :he funeral may be post
poned until such time as the entire family
can be buried together. 1t is expected that
the funeral will be one of the most largely
taken place in Washington.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
from the Peoples Church, Typographical
Temple, 423 G street northwest, at 3 o'clock
pm. Members of d. A. 66 and the Fed
alton of Labor will meet at Speare's un-
dertaking establishment at 2 o'clock to act
as escort to the church.

ONSUL FOTTER MAKES A SENSATION
GENERAL SPORTING NOTES

BALTIMORE, February 12.-The wheel
men got to work at 10 o'clock this morning,
with Vice President Perkins in the chair,
and took up the consideration of new busi-
ness.
A great deal of time was again devoted
to the discussion of the law suit of I. B.
Potter against the league, growing out of
an alleged breach of contract for the pub
lication of the L. A. w. bulletin by Mr..
Potter. The sum involved Is about $4,000,
and tho case has already consumed much
of the time of the present convention.
The discussion arose on a motion by Mr.
Mott that a committee be appointed to ad-
wise the executive committee as to the
status of the case and the advisability of
proceeding further with 1t. Mr.. Mott
thought the committee ought to consist Of
two lawyers and one layman.
A delegate raised a laugh by suggesting
an amendment that it consist Of one
lawyer and two gentlemen.
Mr. Potter in this connection offered to
leave the entire matter to an arbitration
committee one to be selected by the league,
Cne by Mr.. Potter and third to be select
some further discussion, was. unanimously
accepted by the convention, amid great en-
thusiasm and applause.
Conway w. Sans of Baltimore was unan-
imously chosen to represent the league on
the arbitration committee.
Prior to the opening Of the discussion IF
the Potter case motion was adopted au-
thoriZing the president to appoint COM
mittee to draft resolutions to be presented
to the various legislatures declaring BIZ
cycles to be personal baggage.
Constitutional Amendments.
The seventy-four amendments to the con-
stitution were then taken up.
The first amendment considered was that
proposed by Mr.. Potter of New York to
strike out of article I. section 2. the words
land to promote and regulate cycle racing
on the track"
Mr.. Potter, in discussing this question,
created something of an uproar by making
the assertion that there were mot enough
honest, clean amateur bicycle racers in this
country to make a respectable meet"
Sterling Elliott, the new presdent-elect,
opposed the amendment.
j. B. Roosevelt OF New York advocated
it, did also j. w. Townsend of the same
state. A roll-call vote was taken, which
resulted in the defeat CT the amendment
league will retain control of cycle racing,
and is considered the most important of the
seventy-four amendments to De considered.
The New York delegation voted solidly in
favor of abolishing racing under league
auspices, but was overwhelmed.
An amendment providing that divisions,
subdivisions and consulates shall be discon-
tinued whenever the membership falls be-
low twenty-five, and all moneys belonging
to them pass to the league, was adopted, as
was also another providing that all mem
be rships shall expire one year from the pub
Ication of the application in the official
organ.
Amendments providing that membership
may be renewed and that the penalties for
lapses in dues shall in no cases exceed 81
for full year were adopted.
The convention then took a recess until
2 o'clock

AN INTERSTATE LEAGUE.

Manager Whitman Tells of a Scheme
Promoted by League Magnates.
William Abbot Whitman, ex-manager of
Readings base ball team, says that a
scheme Is on foot which is being promoted
to organize new interstate league of base
ball clubs, composed of Bridgeport, New
Haven, Newark, Jersey City, Reading,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wilmington.
President Freedman and Manager Irwin
of the New York Club are to back the Con-
necticut and New Jersey teams, and Reach
and Rogers of the Philadelphia Club and
Mr.. Won Horst of Baltimore are to control
the Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland
representatives.
1t is said that the plan Is to use the re-
serve players of the league clubs upon these
interstate teams, so as to keep them in
practice and avoid the expense of main
tanning them in ideness.

Young Man Missing.

Charles w. Tucker, seventeen years old
and large for his age, has left home and
his grief-stricken mother ard sister have
asked the police to find him. He lived at
No. 173o New Jersey avenue northwest,
and last Sunday he started away with sew
eral companions to take trip as far as
Martinsburg, and perhaps to Cumberland.
The boys got on a freight train and made
the start, but Tucker was the only one who
did not change his mind and return. His
companions came back and told of his de-
parture, and the Cumberland and Martins
burg authorities have been asked to look
out fer the missing one. The police have
an idea that the boy may have stopped
somewhere in the country, and if found
his mother will send for him.

The Power Of Patronage.

The Senate session was brought to a
close yesterday by two vigorous speeches
from Mr.. Wolcott (Col) and Mr.. Lodge
(Iass.), severely arraigning the power of
patronage. Mr.. Wolcott in particular criti-
cised the President and Secretary Of the
Treasury for making appointments in or
der to defeat silver legislation. The Sena-
tor declared that Colorado was now over
run with appointees, some Of them unfit,
sent there by the Secretary of the Treas
Try as a reward to congressman who had
rated on the silver bill. Mr.. Lodge add
ed his condemnation of system which sent
Senators and Representatives "huckstering
after Offices" and hanging about the ante
rooms of the President and cabinet officers.
The debate came up over a provision of
the urgent deficiency appropriation bill
giving the Secretary of the Treasury twen-
ty-five additional money counters. The en-
tire range of civil service argument. was
brought into the discussion. Mr.. Allen as
serted that civil service was gradually turn
iIg over the government service to "cigar-
ette-smoking dudes"

turers on the question of catalogue adver-
Using and other matters. He asserted that
a bill OF 81 y had been contracted in

he thought, the convention should pass
upon before proceeding with the. election.
Mr.. Willison kept the floor until after 5

ance of many of the delegates. He assert
ed that charges had been made in this
connection that he had neglected his du-
ties as president. This he took occasion
to deny.

rupted the speaker to ask questions about
Consul ]. B. Potter's law suit against the
league. which led to protracted discus
sion of this subject, in which the presi-
dent and Mr.. Potter, together with sew

A motion was carried to receive the re-
port and postpone its consideration. The
