Ohioan.

Warren, O., March 3.-Hon. Henry
Bishop Perkins, one of Ohio's most
prominent and philanthropic citizens

his Office adjoining his palatial home
in this city. The discovery was
made by members of the family who
went to summon their father to din

made Mr.. Perkins melancholy and this
Is the cause of his act.
1t was about l o'clock yesterday
afternoons when the body was found
and he had been dead less than hall
an hour. Shortly before noon he left
the house to walk over to the office
Ascending to the second story he conf
mitted the deed. choosing a time and
place when he would be least liable to
he discovered. as he rarely left his
home unless accompanied by some
member of his family.
Having been i'll for some time past
the death of a son, Henry Bishop Per-
kins, Jr, Yale graduate and most
promising young man, by his own
hand a year or more ago, weighed
heavily on Mr.. Perkins mind.
Mr.. Perkins benevolences, always
unostentatiously bestowed, can be re-
membered in hundreds of Warren
homes, and no public charity ever ap-
pealed to him without recognition
While it was known that Mr.. Perkins
was in rapidly failing health, his death
has cast shadow over all classes in
this city where he had lived long, hon
ored and loved by his fellow citizens
as few men are.

The Columbus Board Of
Trade Up In Arms
AGAINST MEASURES
Which Are .CaIcuiated to OPP
press the Manufacturer
Proposed Amendment to
Fellow Servant Law.
(Frcm a Staff Ccrrespondent.)


Columbus, March 3.-The attention
of the Canton board of trade Is called
to the fact that the Columbus board
is fighting the bill that provides that
no manufacturing plant shall be To-
Gated within 600 feet of the penal in
stitution. IT is well to take into ac-
count the location of the Stark county
workhouse. There are some canning
factories in that vicinity. 1t is worth
while inquiring whether they are with
in the prescribed limit. The bill Is n
house bill and It is not too late to
fight it. II would destroy several big
Columbus industries.
The Columbus board, together with
the Toledo board, is fighting the
amendment to the fellow servants
law. This amendment provides that
firms are liable where an employe is
injured through negligence of his fell
low employe. The measures affecting
this matter are house bills Nos. 81. 72
and 81. The latter Dill applies to rail-
roads. Tic second bill applies to
every person who operates machinery.
1t is the bill most complained Of.
CAUSE OF THE KICK.
1t provides in it's third section re-
lating to injuries:
when such injury is suffered by
reason of any defects in the condition
of ways, works, plant, tools, or ma
chinery connected with or in use in the
business of such employer when such
defect was the result of negligence on
the part of such employer or some
person entrusted by such employer
with the duty Of keeping such way.
works, plant, tools or machinery In
proper condition. And any such per-
son, firm or corporation, having know
ledge of such defect and falling to rem
edy the same within reasonable time
after obtaining such knowledge, shall
not be heard to defend liability for
ally INJURY tutlCby oSNuSioh'u uDVht
the ground of assumption of risk or
contributory negligence"
BARS WILL GO DOWN.
The Columbus board argues this
matter from the standpoint of owners
of every ind of machinery. 1t applies
to people operating machine shops,
railways. street cars, steam boats, ele-
vators, dairies, farms and all places
where machinery is used. The third
paragraph of the bill especially pro-
vides that. in certain event, an en-
ployer cannot be heard to defend upon
the ground that the employe after
knowing his danger, assumed the addl-
tional risk, nor either upon the ground
that he directly contributed by his
own carclessness to the injury of
which he is complaining. With this
tho law. all the bars will be down, and
oveIy employer will necessarily. by
operation of law. take npon himself
all the hazard and risk of careless SER
wants, ono to the other, and every
cmploye injured by the negligence Of
his fellow can come trooping to his
employer, and enforce settlement for
any injury so sustained.

GEO. w. RAY CHOSEN
DISTRICT JUDGEsHIP IN NEW
YORK.
Senator Platt's Selection for the
Place Approved by the President
Its Significance

AT the Department of Justice this after
noon announcement was made that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had settled the long-stand-
ing vacancy in the northern district bench
In New York by appointing Representative
George w. Ray as judge.
The appointment of Mr.. Ray will be a
great surprise. inasmuch as Il was long
ago believed that Mr.. Ray was entirely out
Of the race.
The appointment is unquestionably a tri-
umph for Senator Plat, who has from the
hrst warmly supported Representative Ray.
who Is chairman of the Judiciary commit
tee of the House and who has much desired
judicial appointment
Attorney General Davies of New York is
believed to have been the Presidents origi-
nal choice
months urged the appointment OF Repre-
sentative Sherman.
AS Senator Platt from the very first
urged the appointment of Representative
ndy, VINO Is a strong supporter Of Senator
ridtt, the appointment does not furnish
any indlcation of the reported disSension
between the President and the senator On
the otner hand 1t would indicate a thor
ough understanding between the two men
Representative Ray is an able LAWYER
ana his ambition has been to go on the fed :
erai pench. The vacancy which Represen-
tatiVe Ray will now fill was caused by the
promotion of Judge Alfred c. Coke of New
York to be judge of the new circuit court
created by Congress at its last session.
The retirement from Congress of Judge
Ray will naturally throw the chairmanship
OF the Judiciary committee of the House
to Representative Jenkins of Wisconsin
who is now the ranking member of that
committee.

special DISPATCH to The Evening Star.
LEESBCRG. Va. September 12.-Great
interest centers around the prosecution of
Scott Bradley for the lynching of Charles
craven on July 81. The acquittal of
Lowenback late yesterday evening inten-
sifies public sentiment in favor of Bradley,
who was arraigned jointly with Lowen-
back on Wednesday last. Bradley was
brought into court this morning at 10
O'Clock and entered the plea of not guilty.
Commonweaiths Attoney Garrett has sum-
moned about fifteen witnesses for the
prosecution. The defense has summoned
about forty witnesses from lower Loudoun
and Fairfax. Bradley is represented by
Mr.. Marshall Mccormick of Berryville and
Mr. w. E. Garrett of Leesburg.
There has been great difficulty in pro-
curing jury. The whole morning has
been taken, up in impaneing the jury, and
about thirty yenire men were summoned,
but at noon, when the court adjourned a
jury had not been obtained.
Many of the jurors We're Objectionable
because ofsopinions being formed and ex-
pressed as to the innocence of Bradley
The sheriff has been ordered by the court
to summon by-standers to complete the
panel 1t is believed that a competent jury
will be obtained this afternoon, when the
trial of Bradley will proceed. Sympathy is
generally for him and the prevalent be-
lief is that he win be acquitted like Lowen-
back for the evidence is simi ar and of
about the same weight.
