desperately i'll for some time.
Definite arrangement for the
future have not been made, yet
if IS probable it will be held Sat
urday afternoon with burial in

The death Of the inventor
came suddenly at 3.15, members
of the family being hastily SUM
moned from their rooms to
which they had retired in the
belief that the patient was ma
king substantial improvement.
Dissolution came quietly, with
out a struggle, with the patient
surrounded by his venerable fa-
ther. Bishop Milton Wright, his
brother Orvillp his sister Kath-
crime. the two other brothers,
Lorin and Rouschlin, and DR..
Daniel Peckel Conklin, who has
been in constant attendance
since he took to his bed ON May
"a. AIT 2 O'Clock this morning
the usual examination showed
that the dying inventors tempa-
ture was nigh, but that the
pulse and respiration had de-
creased. No fear was entertain
ed at that hour, but thirty min
utes later the attending nuase
noted rapid changes for the
worse.
For Approximately two weeks
the patient has been unconscious
and at o'clock Tuesday even
ing Dr. Splitter expressed the
opinion that death might ensue
in a half hour, but the patient
again rallied and seemed to im-
prove until the last attack which
proved fatal.
The death oil Wilbur Wright
will not affect the local company

ably viii be devised to members

HUDSPETH WOULD be
NATIONAL CHAIRMAN
fFyo,m the NEWS Correspondent


Washington, Jan. 23:-In the
event Of the nomination of Governor
Wilson as a candidate for President,
it Is the general idea among politi-
clans here that the Craftsmanship OF
the Democratic National Committee
will go to former Senator Robert
Hudspeth, of Jersey City, New Jer--
sey's member of the committee. Mr..
Hudspeth Is now vice-chairman of
the committee and In the 1908 CAM
patgn was the eastern manager OF
the candidacy of William q. Bryzn.
1t Is believed that II Mr.. Wilson Der
comes the Democratic candidate he
will not care to have Norman ID.
Mack continue as the head OF the
National Committee. On account OF
Mr.. Hudspeth's warm support OF the
movement to capture the nomination
for Governor Wilson, together with
HIS experience in the 1909 campaign,
he wilt be found at the head of the
National Democratic organization II
the Jersey man becomes the stan
dard-bearer OF his party.

difference between through and local
service, the amount of switch re-
quired and the Differences in grade
over which trains are RUIZ. The COM
mission says that to prescribe a sixth
train Aand on all passenger trains
carrying five or more coaches, with
no reference to other conditions,
would quite ignore other valid com
sideratfons.
Particularly marked, says the
Commission, Is the contrast be-
tween through freight service and
local freight service The through
freight may across the street
without taking o. or putting off a
car. The local freight may drop and
back up cars at g station. 1t
claims that it is therefore unreason-
able to prescribe the extra train man
simply on the grounds that 80 or
more freight cars are carried.
No Accidents Are Shown.
The Board says that 1t is extreme
E1y significant that the two public
hearings the advocates of the mea-
sure were unable to cite any serious
accident resulting from the employ
ment of insufficient train crews. On
this point the Commission says:
I'm onr opinion this Is significant;
and while, as will be indicated later,
a real shortage of trainmen'H ser
vice Is In some instances probable,
the test Of experience does not nega-
tive the allegation that train crews
at present are on the whole eompe-
tent to afford safe and adequate
service, both passenger and freight.
1t is hardly necessary to add that
statistics showing the general o
tally on our railroads among en-
pIgyes, or even the increase In such
mortality, are simply not in point as
~evidencing accidents that have re-
suited from undermined trains
Instances are cited by the Com
mission where II. has been discOT-
cred that trains being operated

that is sometimes incurred Is that

ts not In place to protect the rear
of the train, with flag or lantern,
and this delay might result In an
accident.
After recitfng the fact that 1t has

will require much labor, under pres
emit regulation, If 1T is given the old
responsibility for determining when

FOR
JERSEY TOWNS
Congress Decides to Open
Fresh Pork Barrel.

Washington. Jan. 23:-The House
committee ON Public Buildings has
decided to decline to yield to the
demand of Majority Leader Under
wood that no appropriations for pub
lie buildings be reported at this ses-
sion of Congress, and very soon will
make a favorable report on a bill
carrying approximately $4,000, 900
of proposed expenditure in this di-
r~ection. Nearly all the New Jersey
Congressman, having In their charge
legislation for postoffice projects In
their districts, are elated at the
prospect of a favorable report from
the Committee.
At the present time there are
fourteen towns in New Jersey for
which postoffice buildings have been
authorized, but only in two of them
are building under contract. These
are Asbury Park and Jersey City.
The towns for which postoffice
buildings have been authorized, but
In which only the appropriation for
the purchase of a site has been made,
are Bayonne, $4,000; East Orange,
$50 s000; Hackensack, SIS, 600: Pas
sale, $4,000; Red Bank, $4,000,
and Woodbury. $4,000. In the case
of Orange, a competition has been
held and York &c Sawyer, of NeH
York city, have been selected as the
architects for the building The pre-
Hminary sketches and estimates
have been prepared and they are
now In the hands of the Cabinet
officials for formal approval, az re-
qufred by law, and when this action
has been consummated the working
drawings win be taken up. The to-
tai appropriation allowed for Or
ange was $3.50, 600, $50, coo of
which was paid for the site, leaving
$1o0, 600 for the building.
I'm Burlington, Long Branch, Mill
willie, Morristown and Plainfleld,
both sites and buildings have been
authorized ana. except In Millville,
the sites have been purchased. How
ever, bills are now pending in Con-
gress for increased appropriations
for Morristown and P1ainf1eId. The
amounts available for building pur-
poses are as follows: Burlington,
$43,73s; Long Branch, 100000;
Morristown, $4,000; and P~lainfield,
$4,000. Plans for the buildings in
these towns will be taken up by the
Supervising Architect of the Treas
ury Department in the order In
which the sites were vested in the
government.
The Treasury Department calcu-
lates that It will be from fifteen to
nineteen months from January /,
1912, before plans will be received
