DANIEL L.. ID. GRANGER DEAD.
Democratic Congressman From Rhode

WAsHINort n. Feb. I4-Representative
Daniel Larned Davis Grangei. Demo-
crst, Of Providence. r. l., died in his
apartments at the Hotel Richmond in
Washington this evening. At his bed
side when he passed away were his
brother. DR.. William d. Granger Of

Grace Granger OF Providence. Mr..
Granger had suffered all winter from an
illness which prevented him from at
tending the sessions Of the House He
grew worse yesterday and his brother,
DR.. Granger. came on to Washington.
The cause Of death is given as vaivular
disease Of the heart. While on a trip
abroad last summer Mr.. Granger suff cred
a severe attack OF neuralgia Of the heart
in London and this developed into a we'll
setteled valvular disease which caused
his physicians SCI ious concern.
IL was said tonight that Speaker
Cannon, who was notified of. Mr.. GnnRer's
death Immediately, would name a COM
mittee OF members OF the House TO attend
the funeral In Providence. The arrange
nents have not been con pleted, but IL
is unlikely that there will he any funeral
service in Warrington. The funeral will
be on Wednesday next and in that event

leave Washington on the Federal Express

The spectacle Of column Of fire and

Another crater has opened on the

from it as we'll as streams from the two
lateral craters. This lava is running
down the deep barrancas and has reached
a distance OF nearly two miles from the
summit Of the mountain.
In some places the barrancas have over
flowed and the lava has spread out over
the slopes Of the volcano. Heavy showers
Of burning hot volcanic sand and ashes
are emitted from the craters at frequent
intervals and wherever these fall the
vegetation is killed. The white heated
sand set fire to the forests and the thatched

TARIFF MEN FEAR SPLIT.
Indications That indianapolis Convention
Win Not he All fora Commission.


INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. H. - Twenty
delegates from New York and other
Eastern States have arrived to attend
the Tariff Commission convention that
meets here on Tuesday. and by tomorrow
| evening 1t is expected that several hun
dred will be in the city.
Committees appointed by local bust
ness men meet delegates st the Union
Station. and as fast as they arrive they
are escorted to hotels. The heavy guns
OF the convention. the men who are ex =
pectei to do the speaking and practi-
cally shape the action Of the body, will
begin to arrive tomorrow.
IL Is noted as an exception in such
gatherings that no man Of prominence
on the programme has notified the
committee that he cannot come. This
fact leads to the belief that the import
ance OF the meeting Is felt in all sections.
There is feeling Of uneasiness on the
part Of some Of the committee having
the meeting in charge and they make no
effort to conceal that they fear lack Of
harmony when the time shall come TO
adopt resolutions. II is said that men are
coming who are opposed to a tariff COM
mission and that their object is TO throw
cold water on the movement and try and
show that the sentiment even Of a con-
vention called for the purpose ia divided
on the subject OF n commission. Care ia
being taken to prevent any greit number
OF this class from getting into the conven-
ton, but the local committeeman express
the fear that they will be considered ohurl-
ish II such delegates are duly accredited
and then efforts are made to prevent them
from voicing the sentiments OF the people
who send them here.
This is ono OF the difficulties presented
tonight and its solution is giving some
concern
Some Of the originator of the conven-
ton are in favor Of shutting on all debate
that would have a tendency to create
friction, but others are more conservative
and believe that trouble can be prev ented
II the members Of the American Protec- |
tive League who are coming are asked !
not to take part in the debates.
David nj Parry. former president Of the |
National Association Of Manufactures, |
said tonight that he hardly believed |
such an attempt would be made, but il |
L vas those making it would be out OF |
order.
The call is very explicit said he,
and declares that the conv ention is for
the purpose Of giving adequate express
sion to the sentim ent Of the country in
favor OF a tariff comm ission. This being
20 clear, l should think that no one hav ing
due respect for himself would make
himself Objectionable to the great body
of the delegates. II any one essays TO
