New York. August 6.-Gen. Benjamin F. Tracy, who was President Harrson's Sec retary of Navy, died from paralysis here today in his eighty-fifth year
 Gen. Benjamin Franklin Tracy, lawyer. soldier. iurist and statesman, stood prom inent in the public eye for more than 60 years. At the age of S3 he argued a case before the supreme court of New York with brilliance undimmed by years
 Some people have called me the father of the fighting navy" he had said re- eentlE. "I won't deny it. l believe l am. tried to take the navy department out Of politics and I believe l succeeded"
 He referred to the days when he served Benjamin Harrison,
 At that time" said General Tracy, the cruiser Baltimore was the largest and strongest ship we had, and she was only a protected cruiser. saw the necessity of building ships which could fight if they had to.
 Whats the Use of building a ship that can't run awav from a ship it can't whip" demanded the secretary in his ap- peals. The phrase has become historic.
 Won the Public
 He Won the public As a consequence there appeared three new types of naval Vessels-the armored cruiser. the armored battleship and the scout cruiser. He also replaced all-steel armor W tn the present day nellel-steel. This aroused England and literally stripped the armor from the British navy" All naval powers were compelled to adopt the new method of protection.
 General Tracy led versatile and bril- liant career. Born in Owego, N. Y.. fr lSS0, he was a play and sehoolmate of Sef ator Thomas Platt. He was admitted to the bar at the age of ?. When g he was elected district attorney of Tioga county.
 He helped Horace Greedy organize the republican party m New York state at 9 years of age. At the outbreak of the civil war he was serving in the New Yor. legislature as an assembiyman. It is said that here he made the first legisa- tive speech in the United States in favor of paper money for war expenses. Like many of his colleagues, Assemblyman Tracy went to the front, after organizing two regiments He served first as colonel Of the One Hundred and Ninth New York.

Routine Matters Before House

The morning session of the house was largely routine. A number of bills were introduced and several measures were, iassed, but the session was largely fea- tureless.
 Representative Spier of Wilcox offered resolution providing a constitutional amendment abolishing one of the houses of the legislature, and providing for one general assembly, composed of S6 mem bers, to meet biennially. The resolution was referred to the rules committee.
 Just after the house convened a letter was read from the Montgomery Pastors union advocating the passage of Sunday observance laws.
 Representative John of Dallas served notice that on the next legislative day he will make motion to take from the adverse calendar the woman's suf- frsge bill, which was reported adversely this morning by the committee on priv ileges and elections.
 Representative Shapiro served notice that on the next legislative day he will endeavor to take from the adverse cal enoar the waterworks condemnation bill
 Among the bills introduced were meas ures by Representative Rogers of Elmore designating certain roads as trunk roads and providing for their maintenance: by Representative White of Franklin. pro- viding supervision of supply sources of water for drinking purposes; by Rep resentative Hudson, to appropriate s50C for the relief of the Montgomery Light and Water Power company in serving light to the state departments; by Rep resentative Beale to authorize county commissioners to spend money for san itary Improvements; by Representative Sanders. to regulate motor vehicles, and others
 To Pay Committee Expenses

those who believe that the Commoner tied up the Baltimore convention of 1a12. with the hope in his breast al ali moments that it would stampede to him in the eleventh hour, will not aow Coneede that he has the power that he had then. He has lost prestige with many of his old friends and gained no new ones by his action in resigning his pol tfolio in the manner and under the circumstances of his withdrawal from that place. He received the mome ntary plaudits of the pro-German element, but that was ephemeral-they will not follow him politically because of his prohibition sentiments.
 So all concede that Bryan will be weaker in 1918 than in 1912, and if, as they say, he really tred for the nomi nation then-though not an active can dida te--it would be worse than useless for him to be an active candidate in 1916 against the President,
 But there is vague fear that Bryan

during the year 1913. over 143s 00o
victims in the Enited States. which
signifies the presence OF approximate
ly 1.430. 600 consumptives with an
economic loss OF at least $214. SOC, 00o
per annum, according to the figures
given by the presddent Of the National
for the Study and Pre-
NJ Kober. OF Washington, D. c., in
his annual address at the meeting
here today.
Great and grave as the problem
may appear" he said. there Is GER
.tain1y hope when we consider that
the death rate from this disease has
been reduced from 326 per 100. 600
popuIatifa in 1880 to 1865 in 1913,
which means that If the former rate
had been continued the number OF
Deaths from this cause would have
been 80, 027 instead of $4,000 in

done in the prevention of the direct

immediate action on the part OF the
