Governor Fort has named Benjamin
f. Edsall, a New York lawyer; who
lived at $50 R%oseville avenue, this city,

dren's Guardians. At the headquarters

that Edsall must be u New ldeaite or
a Democrat, as the Governor would not
appoint u stanch Republican.
At the headquarters of the New
Ideaites 1t was said they did not know
Edsall. and he a probably a Regu-
lar Republican OF a Democrat. Several
leading Democrats said they did not
know him.
A former county official said: u know
Benjamin T. Edsall. He Is more likely
to be q mugwump reformer than a Re
publican or q Democrat. I only know
thai he is a very strong church
worker"

AGAINST
SCARCITY OF POST
OFFICE BOXES HERE
Appeals to Washington Go I'm
noticed, aud Citizens Cone
plain in Vain.

Considerable discomfort and COM
plant has been occasioned for some
time past by the lack of postoffice
boxes throughout the city. From thirty
to thirty-five boxes are out Of COM
mission at the present time, and ac-
cording to the local postofice officials,
no shipment of boxes has been made by
the Washington supply bureau, al
though requisition upon requisition has
beer sent in. II boxes are not soon
received, the frost will have made II
impossible to install any new boxes,
and the wretched condition now pre-
yailing In many parts of the city
where citizens are compelled to walk
several blocks to mail their letters, will
have to continue until spring.
A particular instance of this is to be
found in the vicinity OF Third avenue
and Belleville avenue. At that corner
the letter-box was demolished by an
automobile which ran wild while speed
ing up Belleville avenue after dark.
The box at Broad street and Third ave-
nue. was removed because of corrosion
which had set in at the base of the sup
porting post. The box at the corner OF
Oriental and Mt. Pleasant avenues was
removed for the same reason. This puts
the residents of h section to the
necessity of going either to the sub
at Oriental street and Bellevule
avenue or the box at Oriental street

DIES SUDDENLY
EDWARD EVERETT HALE Ex-
PRES AT DAWN
BREATHEs HIS LAST IN MIDST OF
HIS FAMILY
Kings Daughters and Lend-a-Hand
Club, Which He Organized
viii Add to Renown Of
Venerable Clergyman

nOSTON, June 10.-The morning
X light was breaking as the vener-
~ able Rev. Edward Everett Hale,
d. d.. chaplain of the United States
senate, clergyman, philanthropist. au-
thor Journalist and lover Of peace
breathed his last today in his home al
Roxbury.
At the bedside were his wife, his
daughter, Miss Ellen D. Hale, and MIS-
son, Philip L. Hale, the artist. TWO
other sons-Arthur Hale of Washing-
ton and Prof. Edward Everett Hale, Jr.,
of Union college-returned home TINS
evening.
1t is expected that partial arrange
ments for the funeral Monday In the
South Congregational church, or when
DIR. Hale was the pastor emeritus, VIII
be announced tomorrow.
On his return from Washington feW
weeks ago it was reported that Dr'
Hale was not in good health, but no
soon regained his activities, and until
Tuesday attended meetings and re-
ceived friends.
1t seemed as though the whole coun-
try Joined in mourning the loss OF Dr.
Hale. Messages expressing sorrow and
esteem poured into the Hale housenoid'
one of the first being from President
and Mrs. Taft.
AS an author DIR. Hales fame rests
on his short stories, such as ''The Man
Without a Country" as an instigator
of social uplift.
His Work Lives After Him
The work of the two great organiza-
tions, the Lend-a-Hand club and the
Kings Daughters, will always add to
his renown.
AS a minister and pastor his half
century in the pulpit Of the South Con-
gregational church and his preaching
in many other churches were prolinc
of wise spiritual inspiration. AS his
torian his writings have become au-
thorities.
News of the death of DR.. Hale
shocked Boston to an unusual degree
because comparatively few knew that
he was ill. A week ago he was pres
ent at a celebration in honor of the
ninetieth birthday of Mrs. Julia Ward
| Howe. his contemporary in many OF
the reform movements with which hoth
had been identified for more than fifty
years. To his family it had been ap-
parent for some time that DR.. Hale $
! health was failing. His great age, ~
years. initiated against him. But even
yesterday he was up and about ms
| apartments. He retired at the usual
time last night, but as the night passed
DR.. Hale constantly became weaker
until death came.
Grouped about Dr. Hale's bedside
when he died were Mrs. Hale, his wife;
Philip L. Hale, his son; Ellen his
daughter, and the family physician.
DIR Hale was born in this city in
April 1922, and by training, education
and tradition he represented through
out the eighty-seven years of his life
the spirit of the founders of the Mas
sachusetts bay colony. He was grad
uated from Harvard in 1889. He was
actively connected with the Boston Ad-
vertiser many years ago, and his first
charge as a clergyman was a church in
Worcester. He was a prolific writer
and had for years been allied with the
principal philanthropic movements OF
the city, state and nation.

Superintendent SAYS
ORIGIN OF GRASSMEE'S
INJURIES IS MYSTERY

SAN BERNARDINO, June 1o.-How
Henry Grassmee came by his injuries
at the Patton asylum, when are sup
posed to have resulted in his death, Is
a mystery to Acting Superintendent
Wilson of that institution. wilson de-
clares Watchman Burg, who had charge
of the ward in which Grassmee was
confined, is not suspected of having
used personal violence on the patient,
hut his dismissal was due to his fail
ure to report that Grassmee was in
jured.
This injury, which Wilson says con-
sisted of two ribs broken, was discov-
cred Monday morning.
"Grassmee may have been attacked
by another patient" says DR.. Wilson;
"or may have sustained the injury in
a fall"
According to DR.. Wilson death was
due to paresis, and Grassmee's injury
had nothing to do with his death. Burg,
the doctor says, is common rousta-
bout, who had been in the hospital
service for the past two years. His
present whereabouts are unknown.

BRAVERY,
SAYS MRS. FISkE
ACTRESS CONDEMNS HUNTING
TRIP OF ROOSEVELT
Wanton Destruction of Harmless Anil
mails Out of Harmony with In
teIligent Conception Of
Rights of Creatures

Caustic criticism of former President
Roosevelt for his present African hunt
ing tour was voiced by Mrs. Minnie
Maddern Fiske last night shortly before
her appearance in Salvation Nelf' on
the Auditorium stage.
That the example of Mr.. Roosevelt in
heralding his triumphs over the beasts
Of the jungle cannot fail to be demoral-
izing to the boys of America was the
burden of her censure, which she ex-
pressed in an enthusiastic discussion of
the organized efforts being put forth
everywhere for the protection of dumb
animals from cruelty and abuse.
Small bravery is tested in the killing
of wild animals, under any circum-
stances, Mrs. Fiske declared, and she
expressed the opinion that the attitude
of many butcher is perhaps nooler
than that of the average hunter.
Butcher Is Indifferent
"The hunter owns to the thrill of rap
ture as his bullet pierces the heart OF
the bird, or his knife tears the throat
of the frightened doe. One may at
least say of the butcher that he is IN
different" was the characterization or
the acress on this point.
willingly asoribing to the former
president full credit for many of the
Qualities that endear him to the pubic,
Mrs. Fiske was firm in her convictlon
that great harm is being done by his
slightest achievement in brute slaugh-
ter.
When questioned more at length last
night as to her views by representa-
tive of The Herald Mrs. Fiske willingly
repeated her protest, citing the pupil
cations of yesterday regarding Mr..
Roosevelts latest trophies of the chase
as evidence of her contentious. She
said:
sMen and women the world over who
most appreciate the fine qualities or our
former chief executive cannot sym
pathize with his present enterprise.
Brutality in the Hunt
"Thousands of American boys want
to be like the president The photo
graphs reproduced in this morning S
papers cannot be said to have an up
lifting effect upon the modern youth OF
bravery required in the killing of wild
animals, and perhaps the attitude OF
the butcher is nobler than the attitude
of the hunter. The hunter owns to the
thrill of rapture as his bullet pierces
the heart of the bird or his knife tears
the throat of the frightened doe. One
may at least say of the butcher that he
is Indifferent. All living things are
brothers; all emanate from the same
life principle; all are part of the uni
versal kinship. Someone has said that
the greatest coward is he who treats
with cruelty any helpless living thing.
1--WE all know that dangerous animals
should be destroyed when they threaten
the safety of man, but to destroy them

out of harmony with an intelligent con-
ception of the rights of the dumb

gent conception of our duty to them
