must have been almost instantaneous.
As IL he realized that he was going 10
long rest. the old man removed his cap
and neckerchief and otherwise prepared
for his final earthly act.
The victim of the tragic event was a
cooper by trade and formerly lived at
the corner of Wickenden and Ives streets.
this city.
He was last seen alive at ~ o'clock
last night on Tockwotton street by an
East Providence men. who asked him
for n match.
Medical Examiner Palmer viewed the
remains at $50 o'clock this morning. and
gave a permit for burial to deceased s
family.
The Basker family is well known IN
East Providence. and. IL the police are
sure Of their facts. the causes that led TO
the old mans rash act seem incredible
in an enlightened community.
James Basker was looked upon as a
peaceful anu inoffensive old gentleman.
With his life partner he lived for some
time with married daughter Ia East
Providence and during their sojourn
there. II is stated, ne came into possession
of $1,000 /ttt
WHILE MONEY LASTED.
While the money lasted. II is also as
Serted all went well ana the -oid gentle-
man had no reason TO complain of his
relatives conduct.
But when the cash was gone, II Is said,
the aged parent discovered that his room
was more desired than his company.
Consequently. he appealed to his young
er daughter. also married. who used 70
live on Gano street. sn
This daughter recently removed TO Con-
necticut and she told, her father. II il re-
ported, that he must shift for himself fol
few days After she got settled she was
TO send for him,
Next the poor old gentleman Is said to
have applied at the home OF his East
Providence daughter. on Purchase street,
without avail.
Three or four days ago. Il Is under
stood his wife. who still resides in East
Providence. expressed the fear that her
husband wight have committed suicide
but II seems that nobody was interested
enough to look him up.
The old man had q son, J. w. Basker,
who recently figured In . divorce suit,
and who lives on Valley street.
Thus. nnding that, with one son and
two daughters. nobody cared for him, old
man Basker took his life.

time, but the majority of voters do
desire display of honest politics.
all exhibition that is possible, not
withstanding the contrary opinion
of few cynics. In this connection
THE LEADER would like to hear
something from the opponents of
Congressman Tongue more sub
stantial than insinuations and mere
conjecture. If Mr.. Tongue has
failed, for instance, to do his duty
in the Xaquina harbor controversy,
why doesn't some opponent who is
i'll possession of the facts turn on
the light? Mr.. Tongue has now
attained a standing in the house of
representatives that makes it posi-
BILE for him to accomplish much for
his state and district. 1t is history
that the influence of new member
of congress is practically nil. The
people of Oregon know all about
swapping horses while crossing a
stream. Mr.. Tongue is better than
any experiment. If there are no
more serious objections to him than
have so far been given publicity,
he is entitled to winning support in
the republican congressional con-
Ventiou.
