The death of Mrs. Laura (Williams)
Parker took place at her home in
Maiden, Mass, Sunday, Sept. Is.
Funeral services were held in Maiden
Tuesday evening and the body brought
to Royalton Wednesday for interment
in the North Royalton cemetery, by her
nus band, the late Charles y. Parker. who
died twenty years ago. Services at the
grave were conducted by Rev. Levi Wild.
The body was accompanied by the only
daughter, Miss Alice f. Parker of Nal.
den, her nurse, and three brothers, DR..
Henry Williams and George Williams Of
Windsor and Frank Williams of Brigh-
ten, Mass. Great quantities of beautiful
flowers testified to the love of friends.
Mrs. Parker's married life was spent in
Royalton, where she and Mr.. Parker
occupied a prominent place in social and
business life. The removal of herself
and daughter to Maiden a few years ago
was regretted by large circle of friends,
who cherish in memory the sterling quail
titles of her womanhood as exemplified in
her life among US in the relations of
daughter, wife, mother, neighbor and
friend, and who extend loving sympathy
to the daughter in her grief and loss.

Inc introduction of Senator Lodge 8
amendment TO Senator Forskerss reso.
luton will have the effect of inioctina
great deal of new matter into the
discussion and of shifting the debate
from the mere question of facts in con-
nection with the Brownsville affair to
the subject of the general right of the
PRESIDENT to dismiss soldiers.
AS originally presented. Mr.. Fora
ker s resolution called for an INQUIRY
into the shooting up of Brownsville.
put II Mr.. Lodges amendment is &C.
copied II Will amount to declaration
OF the President S right of dismissal
regardless of facts, aud on this account
will be opposed by some Senators who
would have stood with the President in
opposition to the resolution as original
ly expressed, On the other hand. some
are willing TO vote for the amendment
who oppose the inquiry.
Foraker Will Oppose.
1t IS quite we'll understood that Sena-
tor Foraker will antagonize the amend
ment as inopportune. though it is not
believed that he would allow its accept
ance to stand in the way of his advoca-
cy Of the adoption of his resolution
He takes the. position that, whatever
may be the prerogative of the Chief
Executive in the matter of the dismissal
OF troops, the question is not pertinent
at this time. and he will seek to have
the two questions of Presidential right
and fact separated. Senator Lodge will
contend that the President g authority
in the matter is of first Importance.
and III this the Massachusetts Senator
and n number Of other Senators on both
sides Of the chamber. Many of the
Democratic Senators will favor the
Lodge amendment. They support the
President s position and are willing to
follow his leadership IN the entire mat
ter Senator Foraker will probably be
supported by few Democrats and a large
percentage Of Republicans.
Other events set down for the week
in the Senate are a speech on Tuesday
by Mr.. Overman on the question of
anese agitation: speech on Wednes~
dav by Mr. McCumber in support Of
his service pension bill. and a vote on
Thursday on Senator La Toilette s bill
regulating the hours of service on rail
