ALDRICA, LONG
NOTED SENATOR,
DIES SUDDENLY
Famous Figure In Public Life,
He Was Senate's Greatest
Parliamentarian

| [Asso lated Press by Federal Wireless !
NEW YORK, N. T., April 16,-Ex.
Senator Nelson W. AIdrich Of Rhode
Island died here today. He was striek-
en- with indigestion yesterday although
his health had previously been good.
He will be buried on Sunday in ProVi
dence. p. |.
Nelson Wilmarth Aldrich held a sent
in the United States senate contin-
uOusly from 1881 10 1911. The in.
fluenCe exerted by him on govern
mental affairs was best illustrated by
the fact that when he was satiriCally
introduced to an audience as the gen.
eral manager OF the United States"
that appellation lived through the ad
illustrations Of Mckinley, Roosevelt
and Taft
Probably the greatest parliamentary.
an that ever served in the senate, Mr.
Aldrich had no difficulty in maintain
ing leadership of his party. Although
known among the veterans as com
mittee' senator he was quite as much
at home on the floor and naturally
was more in evidence in the larger
arena. While he gave special atten.
ton to the tariff and financial legis,
lation in committee, on the senate
floor his ear was open for all that was
said on any subject of general import
ance. He seldom failed to participate
in the discussion of any measure af-
fecting governmental policies.
Naturally Mr.. Aldrich's long-contin.
ued supremacy in the counsels of his
party and in directing legislation
caused him to become the subject of
much adverse criticism. He was
charged with bossism and with being
the tool of the interests" Whether
or not this was true in the main, it
can be said in fairness that some Of
these assertions gained and held cur
rency because it was his policy never
to defend himself against published at
tacks. He rarely permitted himself to
be quoted by the press.
Born in Foster, r. l., November 6,
1S41, he first appeared in public office
as member of the common council in
the city of Providence. He was elect,
1875, and four years later sent to
congress. AILST TWO SESSIONS ne was
elevated to the senate, as successor
of Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside.
Having begun his career as a bust.
ness man, Senator Aldrich continued
throughout his public service to dis.
play business-like methods and extra.
ordinary capacity for organization.
Upon his election to the senate he
was Immediately made chairman of
the committee on rules, and a member
of the committee on finance and inter.
state commerce. Later as chairman
of the finance committee he was called
upon to assume a large share or the
responsibility for all tariff and finan.
cial legislation before the senate. He
participated in the preparation of no
fewer than six revisions of the tariff
and bore the burden of labor incident
to them. The Payne-Aldrich tariff act
was engineered through the senate by
him after many weeks of skillful ma.
neuvering and hard fighting.
Mr.. Aldrich was always ready to
seize upon any trend of public bus.

mess to advance legislative causes in
which he was interested. The bank.
er's panic" of 1907 enabled him to give
impetus to his plan to bring about
monetary reforms. The first fruit Of
his labors in this direction was the
Vreeland-Aldrich emergency currency
law of 1908. put through the senate by
Aldrich after a historic filibuster d.
rected by Mr.. La Toilette. the Progress
sive Republican from Wisconsin, who
was aided by Mr.. Stone of Missouri,
a Democrat. Sharp parliamentary tao.
tics enabled Mr.. Aldrich to bring the
bill to a final vote, but in taking
Mr.. La Toilette off his feet Mr.. Al.
drich made an enemy who was relent.
less in his opposition during many sub.
sequent legislative contests.

CO. INTERESTING

A crowd of interested spectators
were assembled before one Of the
windows Of the Honolulu Photo Sup
ply Company this morning. the at.
traction being an X-ray display. The
window was fitted up in such a man
ner as to enable one to receive a GER

the hand near, or upon a given mark
ed spot on the plate glass window.
This action produced a crashing sound
similar to that of wireless appa.

To those who have never seen an

should be very interesting.
Numerous photographs, taken un-

OF the Hawaiian Engineering ASSOCia-
lion. At a meeting OF the association
in the Library. OF Hawaii last night,
resolutions were adopted favOring the
Lassage OF the bill.
l.. J. Warren. who was instrument
ta1- in drafting the bill, explained
thoroughly 10 the members Of the as
Bociation the changes which would be
made in the method Of street improve
ments should the bill pass. He urged
the engineers 70 endorse the bill and
that they advise property owners on
proposed improvements.
The resolution was as follows:
'e-''Therefore, be it resolved. that the
Hawaiian Engineering Association DO
register its opinion that said laws
should be so altered and amended as
10 require that all work of opening

cases except where by reason of

by the bill, we're explained by Mr.,
Warren as follows:
At the present the improvement OF
streets and the opening of streets, or
the acquisition of new property, are
under separate proceedings and re-
uuire distinct bond issues. The bill
butts them under one. Often, it has
been found, II is necessary to acquire

But poetry was cultivated as assidu-

guage had in the two centuries
since it's enthusiastic cultivation be-
gan, become polished and plant, and
versif1cation in Hebrew seemed to
be easy. Following the custom of
the Arabs, even letters between
friends were composed in verse. But
few of the writer's and poets of that
time gained real distinction. Those
worthy of note during the first half
of the 18th century were Solomon

A SETTING CAULDRON.

The expected can always be de-
pended on to happen when the great
nations start a general war. The
smaller countries are inevitably in
volved. The witches cauldron in
the Balkan region is seething and
bubbling over and is being filled with
the passions, the hatreds and the
ambitions of the warning nations.
The attack of the Allies on Turkey
has not succeeded in accomplishing
the desired results so far, and the
pessimistic tone that has prevailed
in London recently as to the success
of the venture indicates serious
condition of affairs so far as the al
lied forces are concerned The
atrocities perpetrated by the Turks
and their Moslem subjects on the
Armenians have accentuated the
awful state of affairs in the Turkish
Empire. There is probably some
exaggeration as to the number of
Armenians who have been made
the victims of Turkish and Kurdish
cruelty, but making due allowance
for the tendency to count the num-
Der of sufferers in round and null
tiplied figures when dealing with
happenings in that section of the
world, the fact remains that the hap
less people who have suffered SO
many vicissitudes at the hands of
the Turkish rulers in the past have
had an exceedingly hard time of it
and have been decimated by the
massacres that were instigated by
those in authority.
The dramatic happenings in the
effort of the Allies to capture Con-
stantinople have concentrated public
attention on that enterprise to
large extent. One of the important
features of the campaign of the Al
lies in the near East that has been
overlooked is the British invasion of

Roumania has thus far main
tanned strict and careful neutrality
as between the various belligerents,
and in so doing has exhibited an I'M
usual degree of good judgment. She
has really everything to gain and
nothing to lose from a material
standpoint by following a policy of
strict neutrality. The sympathy Of
the majority of the people is with
Russia, but dynastic reasons and
considerations of expediency have
led the ruling classes to the conclu-
sion that Roumania's interests
would not be promoted by entering
the war Popular clamor which
forced Italy into the war on the side
Of the Allies may lead Roumania to
a like course before the weary and
cruel struggle is over. A nation
whose pretensions are great and
whose accomplishments are small,
she has a keen eye for the main
chance and can be depended to go
wherever her vision points as the
most profitable vantage ground. Her
keennesS of vision, however, never
goes beneath the surface Other
wise she would never have persisted
in the persecution of her Jewish pop
ulatiOn. The sense to realize that
by this course of action Roumania
takes her place amongst the back
ward and benighted nations has
never been given to her statesmen.
But in the chicanery of politics Rou-
mania is a past master. She will
let the other nations sacrifice them
selves on the altar of war and then
sneak in and appropriate anything
that is lying around loose in the
way of territory.-The Jewish Ex-

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

Mesopotamia. The word may be
blessed one, but the place has not
been for many centuries. Once one
of the most fertile regions known to
the ancient world it has been for
centuries but little more than a bar
rem waste. In Bible times it was
great and populous section. Nova
days it has been the stamping
ground of a backward and unen-
lightened population. When Our
Jewish ancestors were in the hey
day of their glory, Mesopotamia
was rich and prosperous and the
home of a teeming population. The
English engineers, who during the
past decade have been engaged in
planning extensive irrigation works
for the purpose Of improving the
fertility of the soil and Of restoring
its old-time capacity to support a
large population in plenty and COM
fort, have asserted that, given the
necessary capital, these plans could
be realized beyond the shadow of
doubt There had been some hope
before the war broke out that the
restoration of the soil to it's former
efficiency would make Jewish colo
nization on a large scale possible
there. This would not affect the
realization of Zionist ideals, but it
would be the next thing to such a
realization territorially and would
help to solve the objection that Pale
slime itself could not under any cir
cumstances accommodate a large
increase in the Jewish population. If
any of the Powers now at war are
to acquire Mesopotamia from Tur-
key the person who desires to see
the available spots on the earth's
surface settled and governed by peo-
pie of liberal ideas would choose the
nation best adapted for that particu-
lar task, because it understands bet
ter than any other how to organize
and conduct colonies on a liberal
and efficient basis. The question
