SAMUEL r. STEVENS
Death in North Adams Of Veteran
Railroad Conductor

Samuel F. Stevens, one of the old
est railroad conductors in this sec
ton, died Tuesday morning at HIS
home in North Adams after less than
weeks illness of pneumonia. He
ran his train to Troy as usual Thurs
day morning but was obliged to give
up and return home Immediately af-
ter reaching that city.
Sir. Stevens would have been 62
years old had he lived till May 1. He
was born in Jacksonville, Vt, and
was the son of Dennison w. and So
phia A. Stevens. His ancestry was
of Revolutionary stock.
Mr.. Stevens began his railroad car
eer March l, 1869 as a brakeman on
a passenger train on the Troy and
Boston railroad, having been induced
to enter upon this line of work by
his brother-in.law, H. j. Clark who
was a conductor on the road.
During his long term of service he
had run on the Bennington branch OF
the Rutland road, with the Troy and
Boston railroad, he continued on the
same road, which later became
part of the Fitchburg system and still
later a part of the Boston and Maine.
Mr.. Stevens had served on all parts
of the line between Troy and Boston
but for a number of years past his
run had been between North Adams
and Troy leaving North Adams in
the morning and returning in the eve.
ming
He had served under % different
railroad superintendent and had ira
veled over 100000 miles. A remark
able fact in connection with his ex-
tended career as a railroad man and
one which emphasizes the care he
constantly exercised in the handling
Of his trains, is that during his en-
tire experience he never had an ac-
cident that cost the railroad compan
les a single cent for injuries to per
sons. This is indeed a phenomenal
record
Mr.. Stevens wife was Miss Mary
Hunter Of North Bennington whom
he married in 1876. She died three
years ago He leaves two daughters
Mrs, Mark W Snyder and Mrs. Hall
wife of DR. Fred G. Hall, both OF
North Adams He also leaves one
granddaughter Mary Helen Han and
brother, Thomas A. Stevens OF
North Adams.

I l0:S0 o'clock at the Congregational

iating and the body will be taken to

viii Probably Meet Ex-Presl-
dent at Naples
SUM- ONED BY CABLE
indication That Predecessor Of Pres
ident Taft Will Take Active
Interest in Politics

Washington, March 23.-Gifford
Pinchot, whom President Taft depos-
ed as Chief Forester, is now in mid
ocean on the steamer President Grant
on his way to confer with ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt. according to a cir
cumstantial report that is in circula-
ton undisputed all over Washington.
According to report here Mr.. Pin
chot left in obedience to a summons
by cable from Mr.. Roosevelt This
report is probably true. 1t is under
stood that both MIR. Pinchot and ex
Secretary of the Interior Garfield
wrote some time ago to Mr.. Roose-
Welt at Khartoum presenting the in
surgent side of the fight. 1t is be
lieved here that Mr.. Roosevelts ca
Bile came in response to these letters
probably fixing a definite place ana
time for a meeting.
What seems to be the most likely
outcome of the pending visit of Nj.
Pinchot to Europe is that Mr.. Roose-
welt will again he found taking an ac-
tive part in politics. 1t seems almost
incredible that after a personal meet
ing with Mr.. Pinchot he can much
longer continue his expressions u
confidence in the present administra-
ton without at the same time admin
istering sharp rebuke to his former
lieutenants who have already broken
with Mr. Taft.
How sharp and wide that line OF
cleavage is becoming is indicated to
day in a report published here that
Mr.. Garfield has refused the guberna
torial nomination of his party in Ohio
On the ground that he is out of sym
patty with the Taft administration
Ii is also said that he will boldly at
tack the president in a speech short
ly to be delivered before the Tippe
canoe club at Cleveland, Ohio. Tha
! will put him entirely out of thu
breastworks AMI as he was himsel
a member of the Roosevelt cabinet, /
will still further accentuate the nee'
of Mr.. Roosevelt declaring his owl
pcsition

floss PUSHED INTO
CONGRESS BY
LANDSLIDE
Most Overwhelming Republican
Defeat in Years
TARIFF DID IT, SAYS VICTOR
William r. Buchanan, the Defeated
Candidate, Says Result Is
Warning to Congress

Brockton, March 23.-On clean.cut
issues of high tariff, Canadian recip-
rocity, and the high cost of living,
helped by party disaffection, Massa-
chusetts Republicans, yesterday lost
their strongest Congressional district
the Fourteenth. Eugene N. Foss, run
ming on the Democratic ticket, over
turned a plurality of Ia, $50 given in
1908 to the late W. c. Lowering and
won the seat made vacant by Mr.
Coverings death by a plurality Of
5640 over William r. Buchanan, Re
publican. The total vote was: Fo 8
1880; Buchanan, 9340.
1t was the most severe defeat that
the Republicans have met in Massa-
chusetts since Gov. Bates was over
thrown by William l.. Douglas six
years ago. The result is considered
of more than state Importance for
Mr. Foss stumped the district on Nat.
ional questions and the people bach.
ed him up with whoop. The Four
teenth district, known as the Old Col
ony section, has been the most con
sistently Republican one in Massa
chusetts, having never before elected
a Democrat to Congress. But where
the two cities and every one of the
forty-four towns CAV Republican ma
jorities only four months ago at the
state election, scant dozen remain
ed loyal to the Republicans.
Mr.. Foss is well known as cham
pion of Canadian reciprocity and on
this issue he left the Republican par
ty last year and became the Demo
cratic candidate for lieutenant COVER
nor OF this state He failed of cleo
ton by only 5000 votes at that time
Mr.. Foss in a statement declared
the result OF the election showed "a
demand by the people that the Re
publican party fulfill its pledges for
an honest reduction of the tariff. II
is demand for the immediate repeal
of Section 2 of the Payne-Aldrich act
which substitutes retaliation for re
ciprocity and threatens commercial
warfare with our best customers"
The defeated candidate, William r
Buchanan said.
If the result will serve to convince
the Republican leaders at Washing
ton that something must be speedily
accomplished in the way of lowering
the cost of living shall feel that m!
defeat has not been without value

lots cast by conductors and trainmen
on the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad system on the
matter of strike should the Confer

Despite the vote no action will be
taken to declare strike until after
