Nelson Aldrich, of Rhode ls.and, drop
ped dead this morning.

Providence, R. l., Sunday afternoon.
Bishop James Perry of the Protest
ant Episcopal church will conduct the
services. The burial will be at Provi-
dence.
Nelson Wilmarth Aldrich held a
seat in the United States Senate con-
tinuously from 1881 to 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
general manager of the United States"
that appellation lived through the ad-
ministration of Mckinley, Roosevelt
and Taft.
Probably the greatest parliament

Mr.. Aldrich had no difficulty in main
tanning leadership of his party. AL

pelata division justices think Thaw

of judicial consideration The matter
to consider is, the opinion continues,
the right of Thaw to be discharged
from Matteawan. and then states that

declares he had no right to leave Mat
teawan.

JAPAN'S AGENT
DENIES STORIES Il OF
new NAVAL BASE

Washington, April .16.-While disin-
clined to credit reports that Japan
had established a naval base at Turtle
bay in Lower California, officials say
belligerent Warships are making use
Of Mexican territorial waters. Sec
retary Daniels telegraphed Rear Ad-
miral Howard of the Pacific fleet the
substance of the published stories,
and asked him to ascertain their foun-
dation. Commander Nomura, naval
attache of the Japanese embassy, call
ed informally and said that no attempt
is being made to establish perma-
nent naval base. He is understood to
have explained the presence of the
Japanese warships due to accident to
the cruiser Asama, which ran aground
there recently. The Turtle bay situ-
alton was discussed at today's cabi-
net meeting and the general tendency
was to discredit the reports. The
published reports, however, attracted
wide attention among the diplomats.
