The company's machinery is leased

Deceased's Most Notable Achievement
Was the Building Of the Florida
East Coast Railway, a stupendous
Engineering Feat.
West Palm Beach, Fla, May 21.-
Henry M. Flagler aged eighty-three
years, capitalist and railroad mag
nate, died at his winter home here
after an illness of several weeks.
Mr. Flagler recently fell down floght
of steps in his home and because of
his advanced age his recovery had
not been anticipated.
Henry Nj. Flagler's most notable
achlevement was the building of the
Florida East Coast railway and the
development of the line. 1t was a
stupendous engineering feat to extend
line of railroad out along the Flor
Ida keys, but Mr.. Flagler believed
that it would be great boon to the
shipping interests of Florida and he
carried out the enterprise on his own
responsibility regardless of the
doubts and fears of other capitalists
10 reach the keys with his railroad
Mr. Flagler built steel viaduct with
concrete foundations 6.8 feet long,
using over $4,000 tons of steel alone.
Then he crossed the Bahia Honda
on twenty-seven spans of bridge,
using steel truss instead of concrete.
Track Safe From Storms.
He laid his track thirty.three feet
above low tide mark that it might
surely be safe from storms. Then
there were nine miles of track laid
on concrete arches, varying in width
from fifteen to fifty feet and built to
last for centuries. The piers which
supported his bridges and his road
bed were firmly anchored in the coral
reef. These are but few of the unu-
sual features of this extraordinary
railroad.
The length of the extension is 1856
miles. There are 9.36 miles of via
ducts, 24.5S miles of rock and earth
embankments, 5.9l miles of pile tres
ties and 6.65 miles of dredged en-
bankments and mari fills. The ap-
proXimate cost of the line was s18-
100000.
Mr.. Flagler was eighty-two years
old when the line was completed and
his dream of live port on Key West
realized. He was but a few years
younger when he had defied the
sneers of his former associates in the
Standard Oil crowd and decided to
build the line himself
These aae4eiates had ceased to
sneer and their scorn had given way
to admiration, for the line proved to
be all that Flagler had dreamed it
would be as practical business en-
terprise.
New Workers could appreciate it
when they found they could board
train in New York and step out at
Havana, Cuba, forty-eight hours later.

WILL WORK FOR A new LAW
Exclusion League Not Satisfied With
California Statute,

SI0kOkCs
Sacramento, CAL, May 21.-The Off
GERS of the Asiatic Exclusion league,
backed by directors of the Panama
Pacific exposition, have begun the
work of preparing petitions to initiate
a new anti-alien land owning bill as a
substitute for the Webb bill signed
by Governor Johnson.
The original intention of the league
to get referendum on the Webb bill
is believed to have been abandoned as
the result of the general feeling that
some sort of an exclusion bill is de-
sirable. Should a referendum petition
be filed it would render the Webb bill
imperative until after the people had
passed upon it. If an initiative petit
tion is filed the people will not vote
on the proposed law until November,
1914. In the meantime, however, the
Webb bill would remain in effect.

BARNES OPPOSES THE PLAN
New York Committeeman Against
National Convention Idea.

Washington, May 21.-Republican
reorganization through the medium Of
a special national convention to pro-
vide a new basis of representation
and for reform of state primary laws
will be combatted by William Barnes
OF New York, member of the ma
tional committee.
Concident with this information
came news of fresh movement in
New York to eliminate Mr. Barnes
and bring the party organization in
the Empire state more into harmony
with the progressive program that is
taking hold in the country as whole.
The announced opposition of Barnes
to the national convention movement
is not greatly terrifying to the friends
of the idea, although it is known that
with the solid South and the loyal
representatives arrayed against the
scheme the margin in favor of it on
the part of members of the national
committee will be narrow.
