SORROW is WIDESPREAD.
Peery's Quiet Benefactions Endeared
Him to Many.
BE VS. Ia good friend.'

lie was my good TREND
There were tears in the eyes of a bic
man who stood in front of The Herald
office yesterday afternoon and read OF
the death of d. II. Peery. As he walked
away two bright drops trickled down his
cheeks. A friend asked what trouble haC
come to him.
Il have lost as good a friend as a mar
ever had" he said. when | was sick
friendless and without means, Henry
Peery saw that l was looked after He
sent me to a hospital, had me put in q
private room with a special nurse and
all the attention anybody could have beer
given. And after | left the hospital, while
| was still too weak to work. he sent mt
money. He was my good friend"
The big man went on his way sorrow
fully. Henry Peery had had nothing tC
gain by aiding him, and the man knew
it. He knew his case was but one OF
many examples of the impulsive, big
hearted generosity of Henry Peery.
That is why there was mourning in
Salt Lake yesterday when over the wire:
from Los Angeles came the word thai
all of Mr.. PeeTy's friends had been ex
pecting. and that all of them had hoped
against hope would not come. 1t was tn,
message that told of his death. the enc
of his long battle against disease tina
had slowly Slapped his strength anC
broken his constitution.
More than a year ago Mr.. Peery':
health began to fail. He complained FIRE

MI Peery had been so active all his lifi
that he was most reluctant about givin;
up his business, or even about consulting

Last winter when he was in New YOrl
he consulted specialists about his condi

which announced his death.

NEW IN PLACE
OF CORIELYOU
Republican National Commit
tee Holds SeSSiOn-Fight
Over Convention City.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The Repubh
can national committee, which was
called to meet here to name a time
and place for holding the Republican
national convention next year, was in
session for an hour at the ShOreham
hotel today, but aside from the cleo
ton of Acting Chairman Harry S.
New to fill the remainder of the uneX-
pired term of Secretary COrtelyOu, the
session was confined to preliminary de-
/, tails. Mr.. New had no opposition and
the vote was unanimous. He made a
brief speech accepting the election,
promising to devote all his energies
toward providing for a fair and impair
tial convention. A formal visit was
paid to the president during the after
noon.
Fight Made for Chicago.
Meanwhile the friends of the various
cities which desire to secure the con-
vention were actively at work. There
ce delegations here from Kansas City
and Denver, and while there is no del
egation from Chicago, a great deal of
work is being done in behalf of that
city. by Representative LOWden, who is
a member of the national committee
and by several other members who are
interesting themselves 10 the UTMOST
extent to throw the convention to the
Lake City. They made material prog
ress during the day, and tonight are
holding claiming that they have prac-
tically won. This is not conceded by
| the Kansas City advocates but most
of them do not show the same conf
dence they manifested yesterday. To-
morrow's session will be devoted to lis
tening to the claims of the various
cities and, after the oratory, will come
the voting. The fight between Chica-
go and Kansas City was quite acute
during the day, and there were charges
of political interest on both sides, but
these were denied.
OF the ffty-four members of the ma
tional committee from twenty-three to
twenty-five are said to be pledged to
Kansas City. and an equal number to
Chicago. The remainder of the COM
mittee membership are non-committal
and their votes will decide the city In

INTENSE EXCITEMENT.

Coldfield, New, Dec. 6.-There is in
tense but suppressed excitement in
Goldfeld today over the expected ar
rival of the United States troops in the
Goldfield camp tomorrow morning. It
is The only subject of converse ton.
Miners union hall has been filled all
day, and crowds fill the sidewalks and
streets i'm front There has been no
demonstration to speak of. though
some excitement has been created by
hot-heads, who talk of what they will
do after the troops come. The miners
have thought the reports of the troops
was all bluff, intended to intimidate
them. and they have only come to d
realization of the real situation in the
last few hours They seem disconcert-
ed and nonplused. as events have hap
pened and swept along too fast for
them They are certainly unprepared
