Famed "Easy Boss" of New
York Answered the Sum-
mons Yesterday.
BRIGHT's DISEASE CAUSE
REMARKABLE CAREER OF THE
LATE SENATOR, WHO ROSE
FROM RURAL POLITICIAN TO A
PARTY CHIEFTAIN.

New York, March Thomas Collier
Plat, formerly United States senator
from New York, and for many years a
national figure in republican politics,
died at 3:45 o'clock Sunday afternoon
in the apartment Of Mr.. and Mrs. Gus
tav Adele on West Eleventh street.
from whom he had rented three rooms
for the last four years. Mrs. Adele
had been his nurse.
DR.. Paul Auterbridge, his physician.
said last night the cause Of death was
chronic and acute Bright's disease.
The body was removed last night to
the home of Frank H. Plat, his son,
and will be taken on Tuesday to Oswe-
60, N. Y, the Senator's birth place,
where 1t will be buried. Funeral SER
vices will be held Wednesday at the
Presbyterian church in Oswego.
End Came Suddenly
The end was startlingly sudden. An
hour before the senator died his two
sons, Frank and Edward, with their
families and his widowed son Harry,
with the latter's daughter, Charlotte
and son Sherman, had left the house
after their usual Sunday visit. The
senator said at that time he felt very
we'll and thought he would read the
Sunday papers.
At s o'clock he was taken with a
fainting fit and DR.. Auterbridge was
hurriedly called.
The family was notified and returned
in haste.
Mr.. Plat recovered from his first
again at $50 and died Is minutes lat
err The relatives were all at the bed
side.
Worked to the Last.
Only last Wednesday Senator Plat
was at his office down town. For sew
eral years he had been in feeble health,
and latterly the use of his legs had al
most deserted him, but his condition
until today was not looked upon as
more serious than usual, although a
physician called upon him daily.
Thursday at breakfast the senator
had fainting spell. but rallied quick
ly. A year ago his feebleness was
markedly accentuated and his life was
despaired Of for a period, but with re-
markable vitality he recovered and
went about his business as usual.
DIR. Auterbridge said last night that
the vitality of his patient was truly un.
usual. In spite of his feebleness he
took an active interest In affairs and
refused to neglect his business until
dictates of nature imposed a rest. He
was out of bed at o'clock every morn
ing and always early at his office.
Family 10 Frustrated.
No pallbearers have yet been nam
ed. In fact, all the family were sc
Frustrated by the suddenness Of the
senator's death that they were unable
to discuss it in any manner for the
public.
The death of Mr.. Plat removes one
of the most unique and interesting fig
ures in the history Of American poll
tics. His active career of nearly 81
years was crowded with victories ant
defeats, through which he rose gradu
ally to position Of domination IL

OF the probability OF these recommen-

changes in the original plans of the

The question has arisen as To
whether il is necessary for the road

Plan a Tarvia Binder.
! In event the viewers recommend
that the road be constructed as petit
toned for. by the use of a two inch
tarvia binder on top of a macadam
surface and cement cutters from West
Fifth street to the city boundary. ii
is probable that the cost for the ce-
ment work will be assessed to the city
or the abutting property owners. 1t is
improbable that the cement curbs and
cutters will be constructed. in the
country districts, although the tarvia
binder may be used. Mr.. Gardner
would have to represent the city in
event the improvement called for the
city or the property owners paying
for a portion of the improvement. The
county would meet the expense incur
red in the construction Of the road
with the tarvia binder. but not that
for the cement curbs and cutters. in
event 1t is decided not to construct
curbs and cutters the full length o.
the road.

in Buffalo, has been approved by
Judge Fox. The probation OF the will
in local courts was petitioned for by
relative, who is an heir. The dece-

this county. 1t is necessary for such
action to be taken. in order that COM

the ownership of the property.
