WASHINGTON. d. c.. June 10
The news of the death of DR.. Hale
reached the Senate early in the day and
was received with general expressions
of regret No figure had been more fa-
miliar about the precincts of the Senate
than that of the venerable chaplain and
no person was more respected or beloved
By his unassuming manner and genial
disposition he had become a general ia
vorite with the senators and employees,
while his distinction in the world of
letters and theology had caused him to
be generally sought out by strangers.
Whether to Il friend or casual visitor
he was uniformly courteous, and it is
now remembered by those who knew
him here that he never failed to receive
nor to treat with courtesy those who
sought him out. On account of his ad-
vanced age he had in recent years be-
come so feeble that he was unable to
rise to greet visitors, and this fact
seemed always to be a source of humil-
iation to him. He never failed to ex-
cuse himself for what he seemed to re
gard a discourtesy.
DR.. Hale became chaplain of the Sen
ate, December II, 1903. He received
his appointment through Senator FRYE
who was acting as vice president. The
selection was made at the instance of
SGudlOI I1Cdf, WHO ndu Deen Ut. hale s
life long friend. DR.. Hale during the
greater time of his chaplalncy in Wash
ington used Frye's committee room as
an office. Accompanied by a private
secretary DR.. Hale would repair to the
committee room half an hour before the
converting Of the Senate and there re-
main receiving friends until The time for
his appearance in the Senate chamber
He always wore 4 long clerical robe
when officiating. and made the prayer
service of the Senate impressive rather
than perfunctory. 1t was his habit to
repeat the Lords prayer and for many
years after he assumed his office he
would ask the senators to join with him
in doing so. On account, however, OF
repeated failure to obtain Il response, he
at last desisted in his practice, but he
never himself ceased the repetition of
that prayer as a part of his own offering
AS long as he was able to do so Dr.
Hale made it a practice to visit the
senators at their seats, and he was per
sonally known to all of them. 1t is not
usual for the Senate to take notice of
the death Of one of its officers, but it is
probable a departure will be made in
this instance.
President Taft, upon being Informed
of DR.. Hale's death sent telegram Of
coincidence to Mrs. Hale.

PLOT TO KILL DETECTIVE.
Chicago BLACK Hand" After Gabriel
LOnqObaTdi

CHICAGO, Ill, June 9.--An alleged
plot TO assassinate Gabriel Longobardi.
of the BLACK Hand squad of the Chi
cag0 police force, was revealed mere to-
day by Longobardi. The plot is said to
have involved q Jail delivery
Some months ago Longobardi arrested

with the murder of another Italian. John
Umbrella. Later the same officer took
into custody Nincenzo Geraci. charged
with attempting to extort $4,000 from
Dr.. Peter Cutrera by ''black hand
threats. Two weeks ago Longobardi re-
ceived letter from Geraci stating that
plot was under way to contriye the es-
cape of Burtucci from the jail and that
Burtucci was to carry out a sentence of
death imposed on the detective by a Sc.
cret Italian society. Geraci stated that
Burtucci had confded the facts while in
the exercising corridor of the Jail. A
few days ago a letter of similar import
was received by the detective from the
same writer.
Bertucci has been closely watched
since the first warning and has had no
chance to escape.
Several weeks ago Gongobardi was
stabbed in the wris. by men who had
been lettering in the alley at the rear
of the policeman's home. Longobradi at
tackled them single-handed and unarmed
and was left for dead from knife
thrust. The police couple this attack
with the plot divulged in the letters re
ceived by Longobardi, who has been very
successful in tracing crime among Ital-
ianS.

LOWER FREIGHT RATES WANTED
CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK ON
COAL TRANSPORTATION.
Washingtonians After Concessions
Alleged Discrimination in Favor
of Baltimore and Norfolk.

To obtain for Washington the same
rate for bunker coal as is allowed to Nor
folk and Baltimore is the object of some
local business men who have gone tc
New York to have a conference today
with the heads of the coal-carrying roads.
The rate to Norfolk ard Baltimore from
the coal fielGs is $1.4O a ton, and To
Washington s1.65. Local business men do
not know the reason for the difference In
rates, which, considering the hundreds OF
tons that are used here daily. constitutes
large extra charge. Washington is
nearer lie coal fields than is either Balti-
more or Norfolk, and the higher prices.
due to transportation charges. cause
many steamers to take on coal at Norfolk
instead of here, and in that way deprive
the Washington dealers of considerable
business.
Says It's Discrimination.
The difference in the price OF bunker
COAL Colin H. Livingston who is at the
head of the delegation going to New
York said: ''is direct and decidedly in
furious discrimination against Washing

to try to find out why such an unjustifi-
able condition exists. 1t keeps business
tax on that already here.
Bunker coal can be brought into this
city cheaper than it can be taken to Bal
timore or Norfolk. So, why should we
pay more?
1.-The extra cost is taxing the river an6
other steamship business of Washington

We have been endeavoring to sell fac

tive purchasers are shy when they hear
of the extra cost of fuel. The street

Now the time has arrived to take the
