lights Of the bad boys and some of
Frank s friends, m sorry to say. was
to smash the greenhouse glasses with
their sling shots. SO it is not to be
wondered at that they wge not popu-

The measuring squad reached the
Turner place and came to dead halt
at the fence alongside the road in
front of the greenhouse.
Turner's two big mastiffs, attracted
by the arrival Of the measurers, bound

measuring line ACROSS the yard onto

Frank said he didn't want to run the
risk of breaking the greenhouse glasses.
The Aero club wasn't looking for
trouble.
Then Frank got an idea.

Bill went to fetch her he told them
what he intended to do.

Frank used the same reel of meas

Taft Measure Has Many Votes
to Spare.

Washington, March 7.-By a vote Of

savings bank bill, all the negative
votes being cast by Democrats and
aA the affirmative. with one excep-
tion, by Republicans, Chamberlain Of
Oregon being the solitary Democrat to
line up with the administration forces.
AS 1t goes to the house, the bill au-
thorizes the various money-order post
offices to accept sums of 81 or more
from depositors, and to deposit these
sums In the local banks, where the
money Is to remain unless withdrawn
by the president in case of war OF
other exigency. In case OF this with
drawal the funds are to be Invested

the proviso that such securities shall
not draw less than 2A per cent inter,
est. The aggregate balance allowed
to any depositor is $500 and no per-
son is permitted to deposit more than
500 IN any one month.
The government is required to pay
2 per cent interest and must exact

of the labor union leaders who
brought about and who are directing
the big strike. Neither Mayor Rey-

Clay nor Mr.. Brown would breathe a
word of what took place in the con
ference, but the information is posi-
tive that the authorities have deter
mined to arrest and clap into Jail 10

responsible for the present conditions.
Clarence o. Pratt, captain of the
striking carmen, and J. j. Murphy,
president Of the Central Labor union,
are under Indictment already for in
citing to riot, and 1t is known to be
the intention Of the mayor and his ad-
yisers to go down the line and corral
every union chief who had part In
forcing 10000 men to quit work.

lawful means, or { he attainment or
attempt at attainment of an unlawful
thing by lawful means. Legal au-
thorities have assured city officials
that they have a strong case against
the union leaders In question.
So far as the effect upon the strike
rs concerned, some of the officials are
confident that nothing would be more
disastrous to the union forces than
drastic prosecution of the leaders.

DEATH CLAIMS
THOMAS PLATT
Was For Years Leader In
New York Politics.
HIS END WAS UNEXPECTED

Defeated Plans Of Grim Reaper Last
May and Took Sudden Change Far
Better on Occasion OF Grandson's
Marriage - Attended to Duties az
President Of United States Express
Company Until Last Wednesday.
Will Be Buried at Owego.
New York, March 7.--Former Unit.
ed States Senator Thomas Collier
Platt, Republican leader Of the state
Of New York for score of years and
intensely interested in the Republican
party from ito organization in 1856,
died Unexpectedly in his apartments
at 1873 West Eleventh street. The d.
direct cause Of Mr.. Platt's death was
acute Bright's disease. For q number
Of years he had suffered with a palsy
OF the legs, which necessitatef his
occupying wheel chair most of the
time. Within the past two years,
though, evidences of Bright's disease
had <ecome apparent to his physician,
DR.. Paul Outerbridge.
On May 28 last this form OF Bright's
disease became so apparent that DR..
Outerbridge believed that his patient
would die on that day. Mr.. Plat,
however, recovered and was able to
attend the marriage of his grandson,
i vi 80 4.
Platt, and the happiness OF the cere.
mony seemed to give new life to Mr..
Platt. He took a temporary home at
Freeport, l.. l., then went to Atlantic
City, remaining there until election
day, and this, by the way was the
first time that he had not voted in
Owego county for 80 years. Later on
Mr.. Platt went to Lakewood, remain.
ing there until late in January, when
! he returned to his apartments in
West Eleventh street, where he was
constantly attended by Gustave Abel,
formerly a custom house employe and
one Of the numerous hundreds OF men
whom Mr.. Platt as the Republican
leader. of his party had benefited.
With Mr.. Platt at the time of his
death were Mr.. and Mrs. Frank II.
Platt, Mr.. and Mrs. Edward T. Platt,
Harry Platt and DR.. Outerbridge.
Mr.. Platt had been at his office as
president Of the United states Elk
press company until Wednesday last.
On that day he took slight cold, and
while he didn't exactly sink, he SEEM
ed TO feel that he should remain at
home. He hadn't any idea that he
was to die.
Tomorrow morning his body will be
taken to Owego, wheres funeral SER
vices will be held in the Presbyterian
church In that place, and Mr.. Platt
VIII be buried in the church yard be-
side the FIRST Mrs. Platt, who was his
cousin.
Mr.. Platt's start in politics was
made partly at least through his sing
Ing. With more or less vocal training
and experience he organized a glee
club for the Fremont campaign, and
used TO sing between the speeches at
rallies Of his party. In this way he
became known to all In the country
who took an interest in public affairs.
He also wrote campaign songs in
those days.
Senator Platt's most memorable po.
litical battle was the Conkling- Plat
controversy with President Garfield
over the New York patronage. which
resulted in their resignation from the
senate and subsequent attempt to Sc.
cure vindication at the hands of the
electors OF New York state, and their
defeat by Warner Miller and Ell.
bridge @. Lapham.

they had few leisure moments at their
disposal to compare notes of the
fierce conflicts in which they engaged.
At least three men were shot, score
or more dubbed and as many more
arrested.
A crowd of boys began tantalizing a
policeman at Sixth and Carpenter
streets. The policeman rushed the
crowd and arrested one of the boys.
The crowd attempted a rescue, and
while the policeman was struggling to
keep hold of his prisoner he was re.
inforced by squad OF police from a
nearby station. The crowd was driven
away, but it reformed at Eighth and
Carpenter streets. There were sew
eral thousand men and boys In the
mob by this time. Every car that
came along was bombarded, and men
from windows of houses along the
street hurled cobblestones at the mo-
tormen and the police guards.
Three automobile patrol wagons in
command of Assistant Superintendent
OF Police OLeary came up. O'Leary
ordered his men to wade into the
crowd and break every head they
could reach Some of the rioters took
