SECRETARY OF COMMERCE
WANTS COMMERCIAL MEN

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 7.-At the monthly
meeting of the chamber of commerce,
a. letter from Secretary Strauss of the
department of commerce and labor was
read in which he expresses the belief
that our consular service should be sup
plemented by the establishment OF
CORPS of commercial attaches.
Secretary Strauss letter was in re-
DIV to I. resolution adopted at the last
meeting of the chamber urging upon
the department the necessity for more
complete information from American
representatives abroad on foreign tar
iffs and foreign trade generally. The
secretary reviews the progress already
made in more complete and accessible
consular reports and in the work OF
the special agents now sent abroad TO
study foreign markets of the various
industries.
He adds that he thinks departure
should be made in the direction of the
commercial attache systems employed
by England, France, Italy and Ger
many, our chief rivals in trade, through
which they are able to obtain broader
and more general view of the situation
in foreign markets than is possible by
our own business interests. MT.
Strauss remarks that international
competition for the worlds markets
has grown much keener and more ac-
tive in recent years and 1t demands
greater vigilance and eXertion on the
part of the United States than hereto

the result was easily foreseen.
The tota- number of votes cast were

what were cast at the last school cleo
ton. Then the fight was to GUST the
old board and it was done with a ven-
geance. Today the fight was whether
the present board had allowed too
much politics to enter school affairs,
meaning, of course the ousting of
Superintendent of Schools Graham.
There was also a side element.
Beardsley undoubtedly was the choice
of his home ward, the Fifth. When the
citizens had a meeting to nominate can
didates The wishes of this section were
ignored. This made the Fifth warders
hot and they got out and worked and
voted today.
One of the neat tricks was to have
the Beardsley men vote for their candi-
date only. In triangular fight such
ballots counted one and half, and as
Beardsley stands for the present semi
political management of the board 1t
was only just that neat political trick
should be turned in his behalf.

therefore, be a member of the board

JOHN C. FITZ GERALD
PEACEFULLY PASSES AWAY
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, June John C. Fitz
Gerald, strong man of the Waterhouse
administration and implacable foe OF
municipal water in Pasadena, died this
morning after repeated strokes of apop-
lexy. Mr.. Fitz Gerald came to Pasa-
dena some five years ago to live, though
he had been an occasional visitor for
some years previous: He is survived by
a widow and daughter
Mr.. Fitz Gerald was born in Ohio in
1885, but his parents removed so early
in his life to Michigan that he was
practically a native of that state. His
greatest success was made at the bar
of Grand Rapids, and through his prac-
tice and investments he amassed q
large fortune.
In Pasadena Mr.. Fitz Gerald first
came into prominence through his
active opposition to the municipal water
plan. He was outspokeniy against it,
and as he was a born fighter every one
knew just how he stood.
Mayor Waterhouse prevailed upon
Mr.. Fitz Gerald to become city attor-
ney and on June g. 1905, he was for
mally appointed to that office. He re-
signed that post April "a, 1906, after the
stormiest administration In the history
of the city, during which he had been
the head center of concerted opposl-
ton to his various water moves.
The real and immediate cause of his
death was undoubtedly the simply tre-
mendous work he did IN connection
with the contest of the recent city elec-
ton during which Mayor Waterhouse
attempted to retain his seat. On May
Mr.. Fitz Gerald was stricken with
hemorrhage of the brain. He rallied
several times, for he had remarkable
constitution, but in the end failed tc
mend, and since last Friday has been
sinking steadily to the end
