The man who committed suicide on Sun

the head in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, has
been identified as Howard Lyton Robeson

his wie's senior by thirty-three years.
Robeson never told her In what poor cir
cJmstances he really was.
When Robeson failed TO return home on
Sunday night his wife became alarmed.
and q letter that had been posted by her
husband on Sunday and arrived on Mon
day increased her fears II evidently had
been written with the object Of breaking
the shock that he knew the suicide would
occasion, containing strange, unintelhg gible
hints. Mrs.. Robson decided 10 inyesti-

FIGHT on NAVY PAY SCHEDULE.
Conference Report. Howe ever, Finally Gets
Through the House.

wAsHINoToN, May PIT required a
stubborn fight TO carry the conferences re-
port on the naval appropriation bill through
the House Of Representatives to-day. The
opposition was led by Chairman Tawney Of
the Appropriations Committee aud Chair
man Hull Of the Military Committee,
Especially obnoxious to Mr.. Tawney was
the provision for the increase Of the Marine
Corps and the appropriation which the
bill carried, which, he declared, created u
deficiency.
Opposition to the pay schedules developed
not on the general proposition Of an in
Grease but on account Of computations
made by Representatives from which they
figured that the navy was being better com
pensated than the army In corresponding
grades.
Another point VI dissension was the addi-
tional 10 per cent Of pay allowed the naval
officers on sea duty.
No change was made IN the bill, however

WAsHNOroN, May l2,-Representative
Eugene w. Eeake, Democrat, OF the Ninth
New Jersey district, issued to-day state
ment explaining why he will vote against
the bill relieving labor unions from the
operation Of the Sherman antitrust law,
when Congress passed the. Sherman
antitrust law, he said, 1t provided that all
combinations which injured trade should
be illegal From the standpoint Of the
public there Is no reason why labor union
which destroys and Injuries a mans legiti-
mate business shouldnot be punished equally
with the large industrial trust which de-
stroys a mans business by dishonest and
unjust competition Those unfair and
unjust combinations Of capital are not
beyond the reach Of the law and they exist
only because the Government authorities
have not enforced the law against them.
Many OF these trusts are unfair TO labor,
but the remedy Ia not 10 make an exception
Of labor or any other class to the law Of
the land.
The Wilson bill, which is advocated by
the labor organizations and was endorsed
at the mas meeting in Jersey City MIR
leake's home town simply excepts labor
unions from the operation Of the Sherman
antitrust law This Is plainly class Iegs-
lation and will not have my support The
decision Of the Supreme Court does not
hold that all labor unions are trusts and
illegal, but that labor organizations which
boycott njure or destroy Il mans leglti-
mate business are illegal.
Il can discover no reason whatever why
a labor union should have any more right
TO injure the business Of an individual
by unjust OF unfair means than large
concern like the Standard Oil Company.
lsborer has absolutely the right to work
or TO strike, as he plesses. He has the
right to persuade his friends to work or

The greatest demonstration
ever accord to anay man was
that recorded breaker at Denver
on Wednesday, started by Bryan
supporters when the name OF
their candidate was mentioned
and lasting for one hour and
thirty minutes. If such enthusi-
asm as that could be transmitted
to the democratic masses, directly
Mr.. Bryan would ''winin a walk"
at the November election. Let us
hope the disease is contagious
and that the lightning will

man, as we'll las the strongest
and most powerful, allowing the
mighty and proud the full enjoy
ment of all their rights: but like
the Master, who will not suffer
even a sparrow to fall to the
ground unless He listeth, he will
not permit Gods poort to be need
lessly trampled upon by the heel
of greed and avarice."
The party presents MI. Bryan
as it's standard bearer again more
hopeful than ever before of his
election. He has grown in wis
dom, with age, since his first nom
ination twelve years ago, and
the splendid platform, dictated by
him and unanimously adopted by
the convention, shows the Great
Commoner in the highest rank
of true craftsmanship, rather
than the unsafe and insane"
dreamer his enemies have pictur-
ed him as being since he was
first nominated for president in
1896.
Mr.. John w. Kern, who was
named as Bryan's running mate,
is said to be a man of strong
character, great ability and wide
influence, having led his party
in many hard fought battles in
his county and State. 1t is uni
versally admitted that his NOM
ination has brought strength to
the ticket in the North Central
States and elsewhere. Mr.. Kern
has served his party in the Leg
islature many times and became
its leader in the State Senate.
He was the democratic candidate
for Governor of Indiana in 1900,
but that was a republican year
and he went down in the land
slide. Letus hope that better
"luck' awaits him this year.
We are confident of such a con-
fusion.

This in from the Asheville
Gazette-N News Of yesterday after
noon:
According to our understand
ing of the conditions, Hender-
sonville should and will have no
difficulty in disposing of the re-
Gently authorized issue of side
walk bonds. The Improvements
for which these bonds are to pay
add a great deal to that town,
and will enhance the value of
every foot of land in it. Hen
Jacksonville is one of the prettiest
places in the world, and it's gen
eral appearance has easily been
improved so per cent. by the adj
dition of these fine, wide side
walks. It is an investment that
is bound to bring returns to a
resort town.
You have sized up the situation
exactly, Brother Colby. The
proposition for bonds was car
ried fairly and squarely" and
there is no reason for expert
encing any difficulty in placing
them. Every requirement of
the law, as defined by the Su-
preme court, has been complied
with and the work will now be
pushed to an early completion.
Public sentiment has changed
rapidly since the walks were
laid and a majority of those di-
rectly interested is favorable to
the improvement.
Fact, is the progressive prop
erty owners on Anderson Avenue,
North Main street and some
further SOUTH" would not per-
NIT the contractor to suspend
operations" when the issue was
carried into the courts, but
guaranteed the payment of all
expenses incurred in laying the
new walks by personal contri-
buttons, in the event of an ad-
verse decision. All realize that
this is one Of the greatest i'm
provements ever started in Hen
Jacksonville and a fine investment
for the property owners and the
city, as well. The visitors are
delighted and this very move
ment is going to prove to be of
untold benefit to lone of the
places in the world"
We thank our Asheville neighbor
for it's kind words.

The nomination of William Jen-
nings Bryan for president by the
National Democratic Convention
was to have been expected. 1t
was the work of the people, long
before the convention met, that
nominated the distinguished
Nebraskan and the convention
simply ratified their will. Mr..
has been named because
the masses were for him and be-
lieve he can be elected. Indica-
tons point that way and the
people are going to see their
will registered at the polls in
November Of this year, despite
the efforts of special interests to
the contrary. The democratic
party and it's standard bearer
stand for the rights of the people
and the latter are going to, be
heard this year. No sort of
question about that. 1908 is a
democratic year and all doubt

BRYAN AND kern.

The Democratic National Con-
vention held in Denver last week
named William Jennings Bryan,
of Nebraska and John w. Kern,
of Indiana, as the party's candi-
dates for President and Vice
President, respectively.
Mr.. Bryan was distinctly the
choice of the masses and their
will was registered by a conven-
ton vote of 1872 to los, forty-six
delegates supporting Governor
Johnson, of Minnesota, and fifty
nine voting for Judge George
Gray, of Delaware. The practi-
cal unaniminty of action, which
resulted in Mr.. Bryan's nomina-
tiqn at Denver, is a hopeful sign.
Even the New York delegation,
which went to the convention
qpinstructed, voted solidly for
Bryan who, also, received the
unanimous vote Of Alabama, Ar
kansas, California, Colorado,
Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana,
MASSACHUSETTS,, Mjchi-
gan, Mississippi, Missouri, Mon
tana, Nebraska, Nevada, New

West Virginia, Washington, Wis
consin, Wyoming, Alaska, Ari-
iona, Hawaii, New Mexico and
the District of Columbia, If this
does not indicate harmony and
victory the "signs of the times"
is destined to receive a knock
out blow at the November ell
ection. Mr.. Bryan is unmistaka-
bly, the peoples friend, and of all
classes. Recently in giving his
estimate of the man, Governor
Glenn said:
"Mr. Bryan stands for the
widest broadcast, most progress
i've and soundest principles of JEFF
ferson Democracy; so Democracy
must be shallow, else Bryan is
intensely profound. If to be
narrow is to stand for a govern
ment of the people, by the people
and for the people, giving equal
rights to all and special privileges
to none then Mr.. Bryan is mar

NORTH CAROLINIAN

Really the biggest man in the
democratic convention at Char
lotte was Charles B. Aycock.
He was a most jealous and de-
voted supporter of Craig who
was defeated for the nomination
for governor. After his candi-
date had lost, and the cause for
which that candidate stood, Gov
ernor Ayeock moved to make the
nomination of William w. Kitch-
in unanimous, but in making this
motion he said very fIankly;
i am too fresh frem the conflict
to be.able to share with the vic
tors their great enthusiasm. 1
come with a heat that is sore
for the defeat of as gallant a
gentleman as ever led a brave
army in any conflict" and then
forgetting the man in his loyalty
to his party he declared that
while the resentments and bitter
ness created during the struggle
may rankle in our hearts for
some time we will take and trans
fer them into a powerful argu-
ment and force against the COM
mon enemy, Metropolitan party.

worth and are only waiting for
