Justice Brewer Dies Suddenly.

Washington, March 28.-Tavid
Josiah Brewer, associate justice Of
the supreme court Of the United
statea died tonight at 1880 o'clock
as the result Of q stroke Of apo
plexy. His death followed in q min
ute or two before he could be carried
to his bed. Mrs. Brewer was with
him when the end came. Justice
Brewer was 73 years old.
The end came altogether unex-
pectedly. Although he had not been
feeling well for the past few days,
the associate justice was up and oat
to-day. apparently in the best Of
health and spirits. He was in equally
good spirits at dinner and spent the
evening in reading.
Shortly after 10 o'clock he retired
to his room. and within q few min
utes Mrs. Brewer heard q heavy fall
and went to investigate the cause.
She found her husband prone upon
the hocr Of the bath room. He did
not regain consciousness and died
before q physician. hastily summon
ed. could reach the house.
The two daughters of the aged
justice. Mrs. James F. Karach and
Mrs. H. B. Jetmore, were summoned
at once. but reached the residence
too late.
Justice Brewer came to the Gu
preme court from the federal court
in Kansas. He was the second old
est member Of the court, Justice Har-
Ian only being his senior. He wa
regarded a. the most Democratic OF
all the members Of the court. most
a6able. approachable and accomodat-
Ing. He was the one man ON the
bench who had proof copies Of his
opinions prepared for the newspapers
and this he did consistently.

ROBBERY IN RICHMOND.
Daring Thieves Get Away With $85,.
600 in Stamps.

Richmond. Va. March 2S.-Com-
bining the skill Of experts with the
simplest Of methods. thieves last
night or early this morning robbed
the vault in the Office Of the cashier
at the Richmond postofice of stamps
estimated to be worth about $S5. 900
and incidentally carried of $50 in
cash belonging to the pay roll fund.
For audscity. the feat was almost
without parallel in this part Of the
country. The robbers could hardly
have chosen q more public place in
which to operate. They were within
less than Is feet Of one Of the main
taoroughfares Of the city. which is at
oil hours Of the night brightly light
ed. while the room in which the rob-
berry was accomplished was lighted
last night.
A Desirable Location.
Large windows open on the street
and no movement could be we'll made
within the room without observation
by passers-by.
To avoid this publicity In part, the
robbers shifted one of the two book
cases obliQuely across the front Of
the safe. In this way the man oper-
ating the drill could work without
being clearly seen. The drill was
first applied to the outer door of the
vault, which was pierced with ease
apparently. and the inner mechanism
of the barriers was picked away.
Operation Successful.
The same operation was then per-
formed upon the interior door and
the booty was within the grasp Of
the looters. No dynamite was used.
One Of the amazing things about
the job is It's magnitude. Box after
box Of stamps was removed from the
vault. One man could not possibly
have carried all away. nor could half
. dozen men. The probabilities are
that some sort Of vehicle was used to
bear OF the booty.
Secret service men from Washing
ton. under the direction Of District
Inspector Harrison. have been on the
case all day. assisted by the police,
and 1t 10 understood that there Is
clue tonight. which may lead to ar
rest or several arrests at IN early
hour. This involves an individual,
allegedly q travelling man for q New
York novelty house. who has been
traced to one Of the local hotels.

WIN Not Launch Political Party.

Atlanta, Ca. March 2S.-President
Charles 8. Barrett Of the National

nial tonight Of the newspaper re-
ports that at the national conference
Of farmers to be held In st. Louis
May 2-S. the Farmers union will
join with the American Federation
Of Labor In the formation Of . new
national political party.
In an article published in num-
erous papers under . Washington
date 1t was announced that President
Samuel Gompers Of the federation
would make an address at the farm
er's conference In which he would
outline his plan for the alliance Of
the two organizations In forming and
futhering the proposed new party.
Whatever II done In st. Louis To-
ward forming . new party" said Mr..
Barrett, "the Farmers' union will
have no part. parcel or direct or in
direct connection with It The fun
damental Law Of the farmers union
explicitly prohibits that order indul-
ging In partisan politics.
Men Of all shades Of political be-
lief, some Of the most distinguished
Americans, win participate In and be
the guests Of the Farmers union con-
ference. But I can not reiterate too
emphatically that We will not be
party to the formation Of . new party
and that partizan politics will be
eschewed scrupulously.''
President Barrett said that at the
st. Louis conference the needs Of the
farmer. the status Of the farmer and
the wrongs Of the farmer" will be
discussed. but We will not denounce
or praise any political party. Nor
win We countenance any such pro-
cedure on the part Of invited guests
II We can help It."
