Boston, May 2.-(Special.) )-The death of Charles Williams, Jr., has recently re- moved one of the pioneers of the tele- phone industry which at the outset and indeed down to the present time has been largely promoted by New England enter prise and inventiveness. MT. Williams was the first man to construct telephone instruments, carrying out the suggestions of Alexander Graham Bell, who has since then said that he did not believe any trained electrician could have invented the telephone, but who was nevertheless dependent upon the services of a man trical appliances.
 In MT. Williams workshop on Court Street in Boston, now the Palace Thea ire, which was started by John l.. Sulli- vans theatrical manager, Professor Bell tested the first telephone ever made and from that workshop to MT. Williams house in the nearby suburb of Somer- vile the first line ever installed for the transmission of the human voice by wire was put into service. MT. Williams at that time was manufacturer of tele- graphic and other electrical apparatus. East Braintree, Mass. many models of telephones and auxiliary apparatus were East Braintre, Mass, many models of tel ephones and auxiliary apparatus were worked out.
 The line between the manufactory and MT. Williams house was put into opera ton on April l, 1S77 Before the end of that month line had been constructed connecting the shop with Dr. Bells pri- vate laboratory at Exeter Place, and in May, 1877, contract was concluded with the Cambridge Board of Water works for a line connecting their offices with the works at Fresh Pond.
 Just thirty years ago this coming sum- mer as President Theodore N Vail brought out in his annual report to the stockholders of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, the organized development of the Bell telephone system began with the incorporation in Boston of a company bearing the inventors name. Through the gradual expansion of the system of lines centering in his workshop into q vast continental net work, now comprising 163,000 miles of pole and 1,664,O00 miles of wire, MT. Williams profited in a moderate way as did most of the pioneers of the telephone. At tho time when the stock of the American Bell Telephone Company began to promise to have some value, MT Williams was able to exchange his holdings in such man. her that he became a modestly wealthy man.
 He was also the pioneer, in a peculiar sense, of the business of manufacturing telephones for the whole world Out of the little workshop in Court Street, by consolidation with three other electrical manufacturing plants, was effected the present manufacturing associate of the

Colonel Greene Home

 To a newspaper reporter, Colonel Greene said:
 My physicians have informed me that 1 need two years rest and say 1 must not attend to busi- ness during that time," said Col. Greene when seen.
 Il do not feel very well at pres ent, but think that am improv- ing. After having gone to Japan for the benefit of my health and finding no relief, l am convinced that the southwestern climate has the best recuperative powers after all"

A Halt In the Campaign

The Washington Post, strong Taft supporter, is visibly alarmed over political conditions.
 "The Republican campaign does not show signs of victorious pro- ican paper. "There is a plain halt all along the line. For two months there has been a continual display of factional strife and consequent desintegration.
 "The action of leading Kansas Republicans favoring guaranty of bank deposits unhorses Postmaster General Mayer, is a defiance as to MT. Taft's position, and the adop- tion of another Democratic plank by western Republicans. It is not far short of party mutinee, yet it will not be surprising if the Re publicans of Missouri, Iowa, Ne, braska and other states of the west line up for the proposition. Demo- cratic ideas have appealed strongly during the last four years to wes- tern Republicans. Tn Iowa, where b1t 3 shert time ego a string of banks shot the chutes to disaster, tha people have had an experience that leaves them peculiarly sus- ceptible to arguments for guar anty of deposits. Even in Pitts burg, where Republican strength is nhassed and bank failures for a season were epidemic, within the past few days there have been free, open expressions by the people fla voring guaranty of deposits. They favor protection in Pittsburg, and those careful people see but little use to gather shekels through a tariff only to lose them by dishon esty of bank officials. They seem to be Republicans on the tariff and Democrats on the bank guaranty. Perhaps they are consistent in thus favoring protection in both forms.
 "These campaign episodes dis close the breaking down of the old party lines. They are also proof that both parties are moving stead fly to new and more radical posi- tions. The conservative Republi can leaders are powerless before the voting masses of their own people The youthful, enthusias- tic leaders of the radical Repub- Gcaps are ruthlessly trampiing down the men who were trained in the campaigns of Garfield, Blaine, Harrison and Mckinley. The fol- lowers of Foraker are treated with contempt, and the methods of Hanna disowned and repudiated by the disciples of the new Repub lican dispensation. There has ar isen a Pharaoh who knows not Jo- seph, and whose heart IS hardened to the woes of Joseph's bretheren.
 Radical ascendency is now es- tablished in the Republican party of the west. Te few conservatives are leaders without followers. A protest from even the national can didates would be ignored, and determined stand in opposition by them. would mean their political finish. The west today is Repub- lican only because the Republicans of the west have turned radical. A squint toward conservatism by those in charge of the campaign would lose the west"
