New York, February 2I.-Mrs- VIII
liam Proudnet Burden, who was Ma
tlca kives, daughter Of y. 4 L. Bel
mont and a society favorite in New
York. Newport ana Washington, was
found dead In bed at her Fifth ave-
EUe Lome today.
Death, the coroner decided, was ac-
cidental and due to gas poisoning. a
disconnected gas tube which had led
from a chandelier TO a drop light, so
placed last night, that Mrs. Burden
might read while propped up in bed,
had permitted flow oil gas that filled
the room and, escaping into the hall.
finally attracted the attention Of the
servants.
Mrs. Burden was 90 years OF age and
since her marriage on April II, 1907.
she and her husband had occupied
the beautiful home OF the latter's
father, the late James A. Burden, at
90S Fifth avenue. Mr.. Burden had
spent the hight in another part OF
the house am learned of his wifes
death from the servants who had en-
tered her room at 10 o'clock this
morning. Entering the house aI IL
o'clock last night Mr.. Burden had no
his wife's room and passing the door
called out, Good night" Mrs. Burden
responded, Good night" in tone
that indicated that she was In her
usual health and spirits.
Mra Burden had been In the habit
Of reading after retiring AMI this
practice recently led her to have a
gas reading lamp placed in her room.
This stood on stand conveniently
near the head Of the bed.
The coroner's investigation showed
that the gas tube had been disconnect-
ed from the lamp, apparently having
become drowsy, Mrs. Burden had
reached from her bed and turned of
the lamp cock instead of taking the
trouble to get up and shut off the gas
at the chandelier Jet. In some manner
undetermined the tube became loosen
ed at the lower end and slipping of
the feed pipe Of the lamp laid in such
position that the flow of poisonous
gas was directed into the sleepers
face.
Mrs. Burden was the daughte" OF the
first Mrs. Oliver H. P Belmont. who
was Miss Sally Whiting The daught-
al took the name of her mothcrs sec
ond husband, George l.. RlveS, who
adopted her and has always been
known as Natica Rlves.
William P. Burden is nephew Of
!. Townsend Burden and has a large
interest in the Burden Iron Works
at Troy.
Mrs. Burden IS Natica RiyeJ, was
one of the most popular Of the young
women in socity Her health broke
down III the summer Of 1906 and she
spent some time in a sanitarium at
Lakewood. During her stay at Lake
wood her engagement to Mr.. Burden
was announced. She never finally re-
covered her health.
1t was stated at the house tonight
that young Mrs. Burden had been
suffering for some time from slight
attack Of the grip. The funeral ar
rangements had not been decided up

TIE MAY ELECTION
The Issue Ono Of Local SelE-Govrrn-
p. ment.

The Wilmington Messenger is TAX
lnS quite positive view Oh the Ques-
tioon of local seIf-government in whai
might be termed its relation TO the
state prohibition election in May. The
, Messenger believes that tbe legisla-
tive ace enforcing an election upon the
entire state on the issue of prohibition
is against the democratic principle OF
local elf-goVernment
OF course The Messenger, being pub
HShed in a city with saloons, will be
declared an upholder of liquor drink
inG and the saloon, because of this
declaration. The Journal, published in
prohibition city, and a defender OF
prohibition as declared by it's COM
munity, has already said the same
thing as The Messenger that the issue
of local self-government was a graf
er issue involved in the May election
than that of whether half a dozen or
SO places in Nor-a Carolina should
have to give up their saloons and dis
pensarieS.
If the issue was such, assuming that
every town or city- that has saloon or
dispensary in it in this state is so
corrupt, it's citizens so stepped in the
traffic of liquor selling and its pro-
fits as u .e I-i1 =. a r.-en., aud
self-respect, and that these places, one
and all, were SO vicious in their
example in promoting and assisting
crime as to endanger every otheZ-
peace nthe state, then there might
be Ceman dt0 CN e. 'rlie all precedent
and principle, and, by majority force,
say that not one Of the so-called wet
towns should be permitted to vote
that their local franchise be taken
away and that outsiders be given the
right to make and enforc their local
government.
But no such conditions exist No
vicious local control is to be found
in Washington, Wilmington and Sails
bury. Neither can it be said that the
crimes in these places even exceed,
through liquor causes, other places in
this state where prohibition has been
voted in. This is not the argument or
contention, however-that of any
comparison. The state election infers
through it's mandatory act that the
citizens of saloon and dispensary
towns are not capable of self-govern-
ment That central state power
Sudll Scl1 tAClh ICISC " put
up a municipal government that the
center state authority through It's leg
islature shall declare the right kind
Of government for them.
The danger in giving legislative au-
thority sway, to make popular vote
serve to fix the status Of local NUM-
cipal government, instead OF each
community deciding for itself; must
be evident to every intelligent person.
Public morality was never we'll served
through compulsion. The temperance
sentiment in North Carolina is on the
increase, but it will not successfully
grow, except by the right kind of ap-
peal which the people of every town
and city can best judge to be the most
effective and wisest course OF proce-
dure. The destruction of local self
government can never prove the way
TO successfully build up the temper
ance cause. Majority vote may defeat
local self-government through the
May election. But what is to come af-
ter?-New Bern Journal.
