A TRAGIC DEATH
Puts Rope Around Neck to Joke
Brother and Dies Of
SfranguIation.
SCHOOL LADS APRIL FOOL
PRANK HAS FATAL ENDING
Sixteen-YearOld Harry Ed
wards Found Dead, Hanging
from Garret Rafter!

There is gloom today among the
young people of Arlington over the
tragic fate of Harry Edwards, 16 years
old. who depending too much on his
athletic prowess, met death trying to
play an April fool joke on his brother.
The distracted father, "a travelling
salesman. was notified last night of the
fatality and is huxrying home
When Harry and his brother James
arose yesterday morning James sue
ceeding in fooling Harry. and Harry,
laughingly, threatened that before the
day was over he would turn the tables.
All during the day the wary James
refused to be caught mapping Finally,
at noon, Harry apparently had given
up all thought of fooling his brother.
From what developed later, however,
he was planning all the while to get
even, never dreaming of the awful
consequences.
Later in the afternoon the boys were
playing ball in one of the vacant lots.
When Harry left the ball grounds he
told his brother that he was going
to the garret in his home. 10 Stewart
avenue. There he began skipping the
rope favorite athletic pastime Sud-
denly his eye frightened. He would
fool his brother. He would give the
impression that he had hanged himself
Looping the skipping rope about one
of the rafters in the garret he tied a
knot in the other end and made sort
of life line. Then procuring another
piece of rope, he also noosed that
around the rafter and slipped 1t
around his neck. 1t was within four
inches of the other rope. There wasn't
any doubt, he thought. but what he
could save himself from strangulation
by grabbing the other rope.
Here was a chance to get even with
his brother, he figured. He would
simulate hanging and give his brother
a good scare. Some of the family
downstairs heard him laugh. 1t would
be a great joke. 1t is believed that
he tried the stunt several times.
But the last time his trial was fatal.
The moose frightened about his neck.
he grabbed for the life line. but wasn't
strong enough to save himself
Meanwhile the brotherA had finished
the ball game and came hurrying to
the earret. Joyously he ran upstairs
calling Harry" and was surprised
that there wasn't any response. Think
ing that his brother was hiding, the
lad leisurely walked about the garret.
Then he gave a cry of terror as he
beheld Harry hanging from the rafter.

truding and blood flowing from the
mouth. ears and nose.
Whipping out his jack-knife James
cut the body down, and DIR. Wilder Il.
Doremus arrived at the house in
few minutes. The body meanwhile had
been carried downstairs by the hor-
ror- stricken mother and the boys sis
ter Kathleen. The physician did
everything in his power TO revive res
piration. without avail
The dead boy was a member of the
freshman class at the Kearny High
School. He was prominent in athletics
and was recently member of the
Newark Y M. G. A. He was the old
est of four children.

FREIGHT Pilots
STRIKES CRISIS
EXPECTED TO-DAY

NEW YORK, April 2.-Today's de-
velopments were expected by both the
striking pilots and masters of railroad
harbor shipping and the railroads in
volved to go a long way toward decid-
ing the issue. The day opened with
widely conflicting claims. the men de-
claring that a serious tie-up of freight
ha6 already resulted from the walk
out which began yesterday while the
railroads stuck to their statement that
at least 60 per cent. of their floating
equipment was in operation.
Railroad company representatives
were sharply on the lookout today for
possible sympathetic strike develop
ments. The Harbor Boatmen's Union
was expected to make demands for in
creased wages and shorter hours in ac-
cordance with q vote passed last night,
and unrest was reported among ferry
boat employees in the railroad service.
REPRESENTATIVES of the strikers, how
ever, declared that there was no in
tention of tying up the railroad pass
eneer ferry service They expressed
themselves as satisfied that the tie-up
of freight they claimed to have effected
would speedily bring to terms the four
companies which have refused to meet
the employees demahds-the Lacka-
wanna. the Central of New Jersey, the
Baltimore and Ohio and the Lehigh
Valley.
The railroads, committee In charge
of the strike situation reported at noon
that the Central Railroad of New Jer-
sey had ten of its tugs in operation
and that the Lackawanna was operat-
ing practically the whole of its harbor
fleet and keeping its freight movement
normal.

BIG PH|lA. STRIKE
Political and National Labor
Leaders to Discuss Trouble
it'll Company.

PHILADELPHIA, April 2.-The end
ing of the seventh week of the car
strike in this city finds the company
and strikers still standing firm, but
with the prospect that peace may be
brought about by the Intervention of
political and national labor leaders.
1t is understood that another meeting
will be held tonight in the Office of
United States Senator Penrose, at
which will be present Senator Penrose,
Denis Hayes. Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor; State Senator james +.
McNichol and a legal representative of
the Transit Company.
1t is said the refusal of the COM
pany to reinstate the old men in their
old runs within q definite time is the
only obstacle to a settlement. The
company has offered to take all of the
strikers back and give them runs as
soon as possible, and in the meantime
pay all those not given cars 81 a day
John Mitchell, who came here in
connection with the strike, returned
to New York today, where he is sched-
uled to hold several meetings in con-
nection with the soft coal situation.
Four persons were injured by trolley
cars and six cars were dynamited in
various sections of the city during last
night. The explosives shattered win
dows in the trolleys, but no one on the
cars was injured.
The state Railroad Commission has
declined to intervene in the strike. In
a letter to the united business men
of this city the commission says:
'The act creating this commission
confers upon it no authority to inter-
vene in a strike situation. and con
seouently, no method of controlling alb
normal conditions created by strike >

ROBBED OF WATCH AS HE
DREAMT OF THIEVES.

That it doesn't pay to go tc sleep dur
irg business hours can be attested by
Lawrence Poggi, who runs a saloon
at 6 Bowery street. Early this morn
ing Mr.. Poggi decided to take nap
during a luil III business and comfort
ably stretched himself out on some
easy chairs in the rear'of bis place.
He was dreaming that a strange
man had grabbed the fresh-air fund
box from the end of the bar and that
another man was edging around to-
ward the cash register, when he awoke
with a sudden start to find the place
silent and deserted. He was prompted
to see what time it was. but when he
reached for the gold watch in his vest
pocket 1t was gone. and with heavy
gold chain. the total loss footing up
about $50,
He doesn't know who to suspect but
considers it fortunate that he awoke
before his dream regarding the fresh
air fund box and the cash register be-
came a reality. The police of the Third
Precinct were notified and they will
try to locate the stolen property.
