HOME CITY MOURNS LOSS. The Deceased Statesman Was Popu- lar With All Glasses in Home Town
 Was Ardent Baseball Fan.

Washington, Oct. s1-FGags at half staff on all public buildings were the outward symbol of mourning here, today. following the death of Vice President. James S. Sherman. At the Senate. officials were making prepa- rations to notify all senators of the from Utica as to the wishes of the Sherman family.
 That the Chief Executive was deep iy shocked at Sherman's death was apparent when he arrived here, early today. He did not appear at his desk in the office building until late, re- maining in the library of the White House.
 Politicians here remarked, today that the vice-president' death Is the first in the ranks of the "Old Ga1ard'' of old days of the Cannon regime. Cam Tawney were known as the Dig five.''

After March 4 only two of: the guard were fighting to remain-Cannon and Payne, The vfcea President never House and many day found him sit ting at his, old desk on the floor of the lower legislative body talking with his cronies of the old ''big five' or listening to speeches.
 During the baseball season, when the Washington team was at home, the Vice President always got nervous
  ward he would call someone else to the chair, quitting his legislative labor hastily in order to be at the ball park.
 Orders were issued from the War and Navy Departments today to all army and navy posts and all war ves- sels to half mast their flags. s

THE SuCCyEssION.

Upon the death of the president the vice president has succession, and if there be none. then the president pro tempore of the Senate, and if there be none, then the secretary of state.
 Vice President Sherman is dead. There is no president pro tempore of the Senate, and Secretary Knox would as the law stands succeed if MT. Taft should die.
 : Congress. is authorized by the con- stitution to fill a vacancy in the pres idency, designating by statute what officer shall act, at the death of the president, in the event of the vice president being also dead or disabled.
 After the death of Senator Frye the Senate was unable to agree upon a president pro tempore. The. duty was who represents the Republicans anI Senator Bacon, the candidate of the emocrats.
 Neither candidate can be elected, the progressives holding the balance of power and favorfng neither.

Automobile parties from Westerly, and undoubtedly from other places as well, had the experience of the po- lite and hidden hold-up in the vicinity of McSparren Hill, Sunday. There were several large gangs of workmen rebuilding the state road, and natural ly the roadbed for a long distance was in poor condition for automobil- ing. As there were no posted signs for the road being closed, automobil- ists initiated Steve Brody and took chance Two Westerly parties had proceeded down the road for, quite ldistanoe and well beyond the gangs of workmen,. when three men were seen hufrying up the road in the direction of the approaching automobiles They raised their hands, giving signals for the automobiles to stop, and the sig nals were respected.
 Then one of the men, who acted as spokesman, warned the automobilists that they could not proceed farther, as there was preparation just ahead for a big blast that would be liable to shatter the automobiles and do dam age to the occupants. The fellow said 1t was too bad to have the automo- blles turn Nack and go over the rough stretch of road again, but the warn ing signs should have been observed. When told there were no such signs posted, the fellow said they were there Just the same, but were probably un- 1 observed.
 However, the man said he would try | and have the blast delayed so that the Ihutomchiles could proceed, purely as a matter of accommodation. So he sent his associates down the road and re- mained in conversation with the au- tomobile parties. telling of his accom- modating spirit. Naturally, the auto- mobilists fell to the game and gave
