"BIM, THE BUTTON MAN"
Well-known New York Man Is Found
Dead In His Bed.

New York, March 25-Myer Z. Bim-
berg, known far and wide as "Bim. the
button man" was found dead in his
bed tonight. A week ago Mr.. Bimberg
contracted cold which developed ton
silitis but he was believed To be rapid
~ recovering. An hour or two before
he was found dead he had sprayed
his throat and settled himself in bed
for nap. He was born in this city
IS years ago. and is survived BY 4
widow and a daughter Of II years.
In recent years Mr.. Bimberg built
six theaters and for three years man.
aged the Yorkville theater. but it was
as the manufacturer of campaign but
tons that he was known outside New
York. He staked his fortune on his
convention forecast only to double his
fortune as his predictions We're full
filled. Following the return of the
troops from Cuba at the close of the
Spanish American war Biinbery is
credited with having met President
Roosevelt at Montank point and with
having told Mr. Roosevelt that he
would be the next governor of New
York state. Before the Saratoga con-
vention BIN" manufactured 100000
Roosevelt buttons. which later sold like
hot cakes when Mr.. Roosevelt was
named. Subsequently, he predicted the
nomination of Mckinley and Roose-
welt by the Republican national con-
vention and reaped a big reward when
his Judgment was again vindicated.
Preceding national state and local cleo
tons BIN made up buttons bearing
the likenesses of the probable candi-
dates and guessed 50 well that he was
eventually rated as a millionaire More
recently lie had devoted more of his
time to the business of a building con-
tractor

preferred and common stocks will be
given
OF this amount 100000 will he in new
> per cent. bonds. While the details Of
the plan have been worked out the com
mittee has still the problem of raising

ers of Se000o,0O0 per cent. bonds S12"u-
900 in new per cent. bonds. 81. 0o0O 10 of

Stanley referred to a case recently be-
fore the local courts involving a charge
of violation of the pure food and drugs
act, and charged that while the Jury was
out the President had demanded of the
| district attorney that the defendant be
sent to Jail. 1T must in shame be adj
mitted," he said, that the big stick is
being used to kill rats"
He drew comparison between the
President and Mr.. Bryan. Bryan. he said
had no authority, no office, no patron
age. He commands he went on. be
cause a majority of the free men in the
Democratic party respect him as a
statesman and trust him as a man.
One who, he insisted. takes his fellows
by the hand. while Roosevelt takes his
partisaps by the throat"
Addressing the Republicans he charged
that twice only. amid blatant insult and
defiance of the President in his strenu-
Gus career, have YOU raised your COVER
ing and trembling heads" Once, he said,
was when they refused to allow simplifietl
spelling and when they put back on the
coins the motto I'm God We Trust -
Amid Democratic laughter. Stanley said
that that was the last expiring effort to
restore confidence"
Cocks of New York. who represents
the district in which the President lives,
spoke in response to the recent attack on
President Roosevelt by Willette of New
York He declared that if he thought
what Willett said had "apy effect upon
That distinguished neiGhbor of mine or
that it in any way detracted from any
thing he has done or from his attitude
or from his standing before the people"
he would have spoken at greater length
but. he added, Il believe it availed
nothing
Willett, replying. said that all he had
said of the President he was prepared to
defend. and particularly against ANY as
sau!t that my Quaker colleague may
make"
Laying stress on Cocks REMARKS that
"illett's words had had no effect. Willett
at the top of his voice agreed with his
colleague. THE Constitution of the
United States" he declared. does not
influence him. 1t is all my policy and
nothing but the utterances that flow from
