DEATH REAPs
HARVEST ON
GLORIOUS 4TH

Chicago, July 5.-The Tribune today
says 81 men, women and children are
dead and 215S are maimed, lacerated or
burned as a result OF yesterdays excess
OF patriotism in the United States. The
roster OF the dead is four more than last
years mortality. A year ago 80 persons
were dead on the morning after the
Fourth. s-
Unfortunately the death roll will In
crease day by day and even the late days
OF August will witness additions TO 1t.
Tetanus, that grim aftermath OF gun
powder wounds. claims its victims by
scores and even by hundreds for weeks
after the Fourth.
New York leads all the cities or the
United States in the number of killed and
injured, while Pittsburg is close sec
ond in the grim race.
The total number OF injured, 2l5S, is
under last years figures. which were HSs.
The figures show that this year,at least
the most OF the casualties were due TO
carelessness in handling fire crackers and
other forms OF harmless explosives
Victims of gunpowder this year stand
ing second in number but show mark
ed decrease from last years figures.
The figures against the deadly toy pis-
tol seems to be bearing fruit, as this
year only 205 victims are reported as
against 3Oi vast year.

been sufficient backbone among the de-
cent elements in the Republican party"
Ex-Gov. Charles Dean Kimball said:
The withdrawal of the general Will
undoubtedly help the Wetmore move
ment with those Independent Repub-
licans who objected seriously to Bray
toms activity in party management"
WRITTEN FOR EFFECT.
Most of those who discussed the gen.
erals letter were OF the opinion that
1t was written for political effect. They
pointed to the fact that he was ap-
pointed on the executive committee
last year by Col. Harold ]. Gross,
chairman of the state central COM
mittee. at his own request. He did not
then desire to let the management OF
the party be committed TO the young
men, nor did he feel the burden of his
81 years. BY his own statement he is
stronger today that he was last year
physically. He is not retiring, there
fore, on account OF the state of his
health. There must be another NOV
ing cause.
What is It, IL not the fear of defeat
In the coming campaign and the de-
sire TO wash his hands Of RESPONSE
bility. This is what most Democrats
are asking And IL is giving the Wet
moreites some uneasy moments.
1T would be n most magnanimous thing
the general dissatisfaction created by his
candidacy. he should withdraw and leave
the Republicans free 10 unite upon some
other candidate" said a prominent Re-
publican today "but he will not do IT,
and the issue next fall will be between
him. the candidate Of the Republican
machine. and Col Goddard, the candidate
OF the people"
"If wetmore hasn't the strength he
gh haN In "a ptrxy w
to bring out that strength for him II
Brayton does not" asked one Democrat.
HUDSON HIS SUCCESSOR
Gen. Brayton knew what he was do
ing you may depend upon that" 10 the
way Col Gross put II. The colonel has
stated his intention OF naming j. Ellery
Hudson. factory Inspector. as member OF
the executive committee TO succeed Gen.
Brayton. Mr.. Hudson occupied that po-
sition before the general supplanted him.
BRAYToN's LETTER.
Gen. Brayton dated his letter OF resig-
nation July 3, and addressed IL to Judge
Nathan NJ. Wright. secretary of the Re
publican state central committee. Tn
letter reads as follows:
"I hereby tender my resignation as
n member OF the executive COMMITTEES
OF the Republican state central COM
mittee and ask its early consideration
and acceptance.
IL have determined on this course
not from any lack OF interest In the
continued supremacy OF the Republ-
can party. nor from any doubt OF It's
complete success at the ensuing fall
election.
II do this believing that the active
management Of the party. now united,
can he better entrusted TO its many
abler and younger members. with the
certainty that their enthusiasm and
combined efforts win result In deci-
sive Republican victory"

HUBERT HARMAN
KILLED HIMSELF

The dead body OF Hubert Harman was
found this morning in his room at the
lodging house at 200 Friendship street by
the landlady, Rose Langtry. and II was
later discovered he had committed sui
eide.

II is said that his last employment was at
the Dreyfus. which was terminated about
two weeks ago. He had been rooming at
the Friendship street house little over
two weeks.
Yesterday at O'clock in the afternoon.
Harman went 10 his boarding place and
directly to his room. announcing that he
was going TO lie down. Nothing more
was seen OF him during the day or night.
This morning when the landlady went to
the room to make UP the bed. she found

room with a pass-key, and found Har-
man lying on the bed dead.
She at once caused the police OF Sta
tion to be notified, who went 10 the
house and inquired into the circumstances
and notified a medical examiner.
Nothing among the personal effects OF
the dead man gave any Information as TO
himself or the cause for his act. A few
letters mailed by friends in Alston. Mass,
and Hartford. and signed merely by the
first names OF the writers were found. but
the contents OF the letters were unimpor-
tant.
On the floor near the bed was found a
bottle marked potash, and the appear
ances were that Harman had taken a
dose OF the deadly poison cyanide OF
potash.
AS Harman was out OF work and was
practically without funds Il Is thought
that dependency prompted Harman to
take his own life. The body was turned
over to an undertaken to prepare it for
burial.

Boss Brayton has played another trick
card out of his political pack.
He has retired" from active participa-
ton in the coming senatorial campaign
and relieved his party, so far as he can,
of the onus of Braytonism.
He has also relieved himself OF any
worries incident TO conducting what most
Republicans believe will be a losing battle,
and put upon the shoulders of those who
have declared their intention to purify
the grand old party all the responsibility
OF carrying those country towns in which
he said last Monday that the Wetmoreites
are woefully weak.
If Wetmore is defeated next fall Bray
ton can say that II was not his fault, but
trusted his fate TO young and inexperl-
enced men, who elected TO disregard the
advice OF their elders in political chtcane.
II they win, as the old boss predicts, with
many mental reservations. he can fall
back upon the advice he gave at the state
committee meeting 10 harmonize and unite
upon some candidate as having been a
factor In their success
Like the old general he Is, however 67
years old and a little lame, he has start
cd for the rear now I'm order that he may
have good start k reverse is expert
enced
His retirement is voluntary only on it's
face. The fact is that he has yielded TO
pressure from within and without the
party ranks. Even IL he is not i'm earnest
his apparent withdrawal from the active
management of the party is counted upon
by the Wetmoretes 10 help their cause

VINO never look under the surface for
motives "Brayton Is down and out and
we shall not have 10 defend him on the
stump next fall" seems TO he the refrain
from the Wetmore league. They are not
promising, however. TO even try 10 undo
any OF the bad things Brayton has done.
They are simply seeking public support
on the ground that Brayton will not direct
their future policy
BRAYToN STILL CUTS ICE.
"As matter OF fact" according TO a
leading Republican who was seen today,
"Brsyton will cut as much ice as n men,
Der Of the state central committee as hc
would have cut as n member OF the exec
utivc committee DO you imagine that IL
would have made any difference. and will
