PRESIDENT BALDWIN DEAD.
Head of Long Island Railroad Sue
cumbed to Operation.

LOCUST VALLEY. n. Y, Jan, A.
William II. Baldwin, Jr, president of
the Long Island road, is dead at his
country home in Locust Valley. For
many weeks he had been a sufferer
from intestinal trouble.
At one time it was thought that he
was out of immediate danger and
would live for several years more but
n change for the worse came few
days ago. At his bedside when he died
were the members of his family, who
had been summoned several days ago
and had come prepared for the worst.
The end came at about half past 4
o'clock.
Mr. Baldwin was operated on by Dr.
Frederick Kammerer at the German
hospital in New York on July %. 1904,
and on Sept. 8 he was removed to
Locust Valley in his private car. Later
II was reported that he was in no i'm
mediate danger.
Lately. however, there have been re-
ports that Mr.. Baldwin was not doing
so well, and his death, although a
shock to his friends, was not n sur
prise.
Mr.. Baldwin was only forty-two
years old. In ten years he rose up
from a clerkship in the offices of the
Union Pacific Railroad company to be-
come the successor of the late Austin
Corbin.
Born in Boston, Mr. Baldwin received
his early education there in the public
schools, afterward being graduated
from Harvard.

WHITE PLAINS. n. V, Jan. 4. -
Chief Donovan of the Port Chester po-
lice has arranged details for the trans
fer of John Hutchings, accused Of hav-
ing attacked seven-year-old Julia Soho
field. from the county Jail In White
Plains to the Jail in Port Chester where
later he will he arranged before Police
Justice Wilcox.
Just what route was planned TO take
none OF the officials directly interested
would divulge, as they all declared that
an attempt would be made to evade
the angry crowd waiting to greet
Hutchngs on his arrival The crowd
showed signs of considerable Ill sup
pressed feeling, as many of its mem
bers discussed the possibility OF the
prisoners falling into the hands of
lynchers at some point in the lonely
road between here and the place where
he will be arraigned.
Two routes were considered possible
in getting from here to Port Chester.
One is by trolley and railroad, making
the distance about twelve miles, and
the other by carriage. Before the po-
licemen started with their charge they
declared that If the young man was
taken to Port Chester by rail he would
be taken from the train at the edge of
the village 10 avoid the possibility OF
the crowd at the station doing him any
harm.
Word has been received from the
Ladies hospital in Port Chester, where
the little girl lies ill., that peritonitis
had developed and that the operation
that was contemplated in the hope OF
saving her life could not be made. The
