DEATH KNOCKS AT
NHITNEY'S DOOR
Former Secretary of the Navy
Suddenly Dies When Re-
cOVery Is Promised.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-William Col
Inns Whitney, former secretary of the
navy, died a few minutes after 4
o'clock this afternoon at his home, 871
Fifth avenue. He died while under

clan, found that the condition of the
patient was such that after consulta-
ton an operation was decided upon
and was performed by DR.. Bull. The
patient rallied so we'll that it was full
ly believed he would recover.
Mr.. Whitney's condition was very
grave, however, on Sunday and Mon
day and at a consultation held this
afternoon the conclusion was reached
that the only hope for the patient lay
in second operation.
A bulletin issued in the morning
stated that there had been a slight i'm
provement in the patients condition,
but shortly before 8 o'clock alarming
symptoms were noted and hurried
preparations were made for a second
operation. Mr.. Whitney was placed
under the influence of ether, but wheth-
er the operation was proceeded with
or not is unknown.
Harry Payne Whitney and Miss Dor
othy Whitney were notified. They has
tened to the side Of their father and in
a few minutes he had breathed his
last. Oxygen was used and all the
skill Of the physicians and surgeons
brought into play to save the life of
the distinguished patient, but to no
avail.
1t was o'clock before the simply
fact of his death was made public.
Later the following statement was is
sued:

TWO CHAMBERLAINS FILL
STAGE IN PARLIAMENT
rather and Son Brought Together in One of the Most
Dramatic Situations Ever Known in British Public
Lfe-Young Chancellor Is Temporary Government
Leader and His Speech Is Weak One

LONDON, Feb. 2.-''My right honor
able friend, the member from West
Birmingham" as Austen Chamberlain
described his father, was the central
figure In the drama that marked the
opening of parliament today.
No playwright could have conceived
more curious situation. For the first
time in years Joseph Chamberlain took
his seat as a private member of the
house of commons and was separated
from his former colleagues IN the cabi-
net by the gangway. From this seat
he saw his son act as leader Of the
house of commons, a position which
Joseph Chamberlain, with all his years
Of parliamentary experience, never at
tanned
Premier Balfour was laid up with in
fluenza and therefore was unable to be
present. When Austen Chamberlain
arose to reply on behalf Of the party Of
which his own father is believed to be
the most powerful member the house
was spell bound.
Up to that time Ackers H. Douglas,
secretary of state for home affairs
was generally expected to take Pre-
mier Balfour's place, and interest in
the proceedings was heightened by the
fact that Sir Henry Campbell Banner
man, the Liberal leader has just COM
pleted a merciless satire on Austen
Chamberlain's father The situation
was critical in the extreme for the
young politician, and all eyes were fixed
alternately upon father and son.
Joseph Chamberlain, who had sat
unmoved under the ridicule of the
Liberal leader, turned nervously to-
ward his son, who now takes prece-
dence over him. With his monocle In
his eye, an orchid in his buttonhole
and his hands clasped across his knees.
the most prominent figure In the British
empire sat and listened to his own de-
tense from the lips of his son.
Austen Is Jeered.
Austen Chamberlain spoke haltingly
and under evident strain, yet when he
referred to his father It was always as

MEANS 7. LOWRY
Record of Former Minneapolis
Alderman Shows Connection
With Magnate's interests.

In coming forward to ask for a right
OF way Tor an interurban and several
cross-town lines on certain streets in
ST. Paul, Joseph L. Kiichli, head of the
new Minnesota Power and Trolley
company, emphatically insists that nei-
ther Thomas Lowry nor any other
stockholder of the Twin City Rapid
Transit company has anything to do
with this proposed street railway COM
pany.
Thomas Lowry, president of the
Twin City Rapid Transit company,
joins with Mr.. Kiichli in the endeavor
to discourage the rumors connecting
the two companies. In a strong state
ment denying the allegation that the
Kiichli company Is but a creation of
the Rapid Transit company, designed
merely to avoid the payment Of the 5
per cent gross earnings tax, which the
city attorney holds the company will
have to pay If 1t builds any extensions
or new lines, Mr.. Lowry says:
I'VE have nothing to do with Jo-
seph Kiichli and his electric railroad
and know nothing of his plans.
don't think / should know Mr.. Kiichli
by sight, for it is some years since 1
The fact that Mr.. Kiichli is not in
cluded in Mr.. Lowry's list Of personal
acquaintances surprises those who
havesfollowed the career Of the Mime
apolis politician who now appears as
the head Of the proposed new street
railway company. Both the new mag
nate and the president of the Twin
City Rapid Transit company have, dur
ing Mr.. KiichlPs term as public serv-
apt, been personally interested In leg
isfation that should have thrown them
in contact with each other and how the
two failed to meet is mystery.
Many Chances to Meet.
The two magnates encountered this
legislation when Mr.. Kiichli was serv-
ing as the alderman of the Third ward
in the Minneapolis city council and
Thomas Lowry, as president of the
Minneapolis, st. Paul & Sault Ste. Ma

houses and terminals in North Minne-

portuntty to meet Mr.. Kiichli at least

today's business on the cotton ex-

more sensational than the recent ad-

firmed report that Daniel j. Sully, the

reached, quotations for all months COL

by renewed bull support and a rally
followed. The close was about steady.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 2.-The re-
peated warnings and prophesies of con-
servative traders came true today and
