THE LATE JAMES WILLIAM DEAN

James William Dean, known to thousands of Bridgeporters as Billy Dean and for 1 4 years chief clerk for D. D. Smith, the tobacco dealer of Fairfield avenue. died suddenly at the home of his parents, z9 Madison ave- fate cause of death was uraeraic pois- solinE, but the system had been weak ened by an attack of pneurfl oaia. Sat urday forenoon he complained to MT. Smith that he was not feeling well and at the latter's suggestion went to his home for rest. Dr. sF..s B. Downs was called and saw at once that the con dition of the patient was serious In spite of medical aid Mr. Dean sank gradually, finally succumbing to, con yulsions.
 The deceased was 35 years of age and besides his parents is. survived by two sisters Mrs Lyman Miller and Mrs. Chester Beers, and one brother George J. Dean Of New York.
 Billy Dean, as his irtimates all ways knew him., was prominent in lo- cal Elkdom and for many years was the organist of the lodge. He was g straightforward, high minded young man and despite his physical weakness due to, a boyhood injury, he was an in- defatigabIe worker in the big affairs the local antlers have undertaken in the past. His popularity with his as sociates was easily understood by those familiar with his mode of life, and there are many who will hear. with genuine regret, of his passing.
 MT. Dean was unmarried. lie first went to work for the erstwhile firm of Smith & Priest, tobacconists, IS years ago, and for. fourteen years has been MT. smiths chief aid in the con- duct of his business in Fairfield ave- nue. Speaking of his death today, Mir. Smith, who was too much affected by the intelligence to go into details. confined his tribute to the departed to these few words: Billy Dean was the soul of honor and during his long and intimate connection with my bus mess he proved himself worthy of the trust which reposed in him. His loss is one which to me will prove well nigh irreparab1e."
 Great sorrow was felt among the rank and file of local Eakdom, where Billy had a legion of warm admirers. His death was so unexpected that at first many refused to accept it as true. The deceased was also member of the local aerie of Eagles, and the fra ternal organizations with which he was identified will take appropriate ac- ton of his death.

PRESIDENT ASKS ROCKEFELLER TO SETTLE STRIKE Oil Magnate Disclaims Re sponsibility For Deaths
 in Reply. COLORADO SITUATION WORSE THAN MEXICAN Miners Ask That Federal Troops Replace State
 Militia Butchers
 

Washington, April 27-President Wilson has made personal appeal to John p. Rockefeller to bring about a settlement of the Colorado coal strike and end the violence which has cost a score of lives and large property loss.
 MT. Rockefeller. who owns a large part of the mines affected by the strike, in response to a telegram from the president declared he had turned over his interests in Colorado to his son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., whom he would ask to cooperate with Chair man Foster of the House committee on mines and mining.
 Nothing has happened in Mexico 2 said cabinet official today compares with the awful things that have ec- cured in Colorado. The pt{bIie mind has for the moment been centered on Mexico and has not observed the great domestic struggle between the strike breakers and miners and the ni1itia in Colorado"
 : A request for Federal troops was considered by the president at a con- ference in the White House with Sem ator Thomas, Secretary of Labor Wil- son and Chairman Forster of the House Committee on Mines and Min ing. At this conference the presiden learned for the first time of heartrend- ing occurrences at the mines in the last few days.
 Information was laid before the president that many children, some even few months old, and women about to become mothers had been shot down by the militia in the voIleys from their machine guns. which swept across the mining settlements.
 The miners charge that the militia is made up of men no better than butchers. They declare that the state troops are not state troops at all, but mine guards who have been put into uniforms at the request of mine own CTS.
 They plead for relief by putting the police work in charge of Federal sol- diers.
 Canon City, Colo. April 27.-Chand- Ter, the mining camp captured yester- day by the strikers. was re-occupied peacefully today by the militia. Not a shot was fired. The mine buildings and houses were undamaged except for that done by bullets. Chandler was deserted when the ni1ftfa arrived and no strikers were sighted in the surrounding hills.

TELEGRAPH PROJECT
 NEARLY COMPLETED
Amtrean and European Continents
 Connected by Land Telegraph.

Washington, D. C., May S.-Fifty years ago this summer, interest in the great project of connecting the Amer ican and European continents by land telegraph was at it's height and con- summation of the undertaking was regarded as practically assured. The plan was to consult New York and London by way of the Boring Strait. E Although the first ocean cable was laid. in 1857, there existed much skepticism regarding it yand as late as 1865 it was declared by many to be of no practical use. The enormous labor and cost of laying an ocean cable and the unsatisfactory manner of the working of those first laid gave rise to the opinion that failure would be the ultimate outcome.
 Overland Route Conceived.
 Perceiving the wide demand for telegraphic communication between the two continents, Perry Macdonald Collins. an American engineer of note, conceived the idea of an overland route. His plan was for a private company. backed by the United States government, to build a tele-
New Britain herald., 1914-05-08

graph line north from San Francisco, through British Columbia and Alaska, to point on Boring Strait nearest Siberian land. Simultaneously, the Russian government was to build from St. Petersburg across Siberia to point opposite the American terminr al on Boring Strait.
 Just how the wires were to. be car- ried across the thirty or forty miles of water separating the two conti- nents was never fully worked out; but a series of floating buoys, or small ships, firmly anchored, was thought to offer a solution of the problem
 Tentative Agreement Made
 The enterprise advanced in due time to the point where representa- tives were sent to St. Petersburg to lay the plan before the Russian gov eminent. Success attended the mis- sion to the extent of a. tentative agreement whereby the czar was to order the construction of the Siberian line whenever its. practicability was demonstrated by the American pro- motors. Full permission was grant ed for an American engineering party to explore Eastern Russia and the great Siberian wilds for the purpose of locating a route and testing the feasibility of maintaining telegraph lines in that region.
 Numerous surveys were made through British Columbia and Alaska and a route was practically decided upon. Nearly all of the way it led through an uninhabited country, re- mote from sources of supply, and in- to a vast region locked in. ice and snow during seven or eight months of the year. Throughout this region, it was proposed to maintain relay sta- tions at frequent points, where opera

tors and linemen would always be on duty.
 Expeditions Were Organized.
 From 1863 to 1865 many parties and expeditions were organized and sent out to explore and demonstrate. George Kennan, afterwards well known in the United States as a trav- eler and lecturer, joined one of the expeditions, when only eighteen years of age, and spent over two years in Siberia, building and operating exper- i1nental lines. Kennan was an expert telegrapher, and his mission was to prove to the satisfaction of govern nnents and capitalists that telegraphic communication could be maintained constantly in the semi-Polar regions.
 In Siberia, the Kennan expedition travelled thousands of miles by dog sledge and on horseback, investigat- ing climatic conditions and making surveys It's report to the cZar and to the American promoters was that the project was entirely feasible. It is saii that the Trans-Siberian railway sub- Sequently followed much of the line marked out by the Americans.
 Enterprise Was Abandoned.
 It was while engaged in making further surveys, believing fully that the American end of the line was al- ready under construction, that mes sage, by courier from St. Petersburg, reached Kennan informing him that the enterprise had been abandoned and ordering the expedition to return to the United States for discharge.
 The successful laying and operation of the second Atlantic cable in 1865 blasted the hopes of the promoters of the Americans Siberian line. Gov ernments and capitalists looked cold ly upon the great outlay necessary and refused to finance further experi-

mentations. Thus, all of the expedi- tions were recalled and the. promot- ing company dissolved. The irony of fate made it possible for Kennan, when he finally reached London to send a message by cable to friends in America. s.t.
 Viewed from the standpoint of fifty years ago, the project was one of the most gigantic ever considered by men. Today, the Undertaking is virtually accomplished, the only remaining link being the bridging of Boring Strait.
