DIR. Thomas NJ. Beatty, Dead

DIR. T. M. Beatty died at bis
home here Friday night from u
stroke of paralysis, lasting onlJ
a few hours after he was taken.
Just before night he was out at
tending to the laying of the new
street work and appeared in his
usual health and good spirits.
For many years DR.. Beatty had
made his home in this CITY and
as long as in the active practice,
he did a good business. About
IL years ago he was elected a
member of the city council and
has served in that capacity since
that time. Shortly after his
election he was made purchasing
agent for the city and given
charge of the water and light
plant. Into all these he put his
best efforts and thought and
made a success of them as he
did of his own business affairs.
We are told that when he came
into these places the city was
behind and that there was
seldom money to pay the ac-
counts when bills were rendered.
This has all been chang, q ahG
the city paper has been worth
its face value in gold for severai
years.
He will be missed as few men
would be. He has looked after
the city's affairs so long that
when one thought of some public
enterprise the thought naturally
turned to DIR. Beatty, He was
sometimes referred to as The
City Boss. If such he was i.e
certainly was not of that class OF
men usually referred to in these
terms. 1t is true that he gave
lof his time and ererQy to Z e
public affairs of the city and saw
to it that the city was protected
in whatever dealing it might
have in a business way. The
man who succeeds him will have
no child's play to keep matters a.
he has done.
He was a kind hearted; mar
and was always ready To helF
those in need of assistance, but
such deeds were not done to be
seen of men. He has fought a
good fight ard left TO his family
a noble heritage-a successful
business career, a kind hearted
considerate neighbor, a devoted
husband, an indulqent father. q
patriotic citizen-a true man.
He leaves a wife and two children
with a host of other relatives
and many friends to mourn his
loss. To the bereaved. the Mes
senger extends deepest SYM
pathy.

FRIENDS In TRIBUTE
TO CHARLES KLEIN
Theatrical Folk Praise Work
and Life of Playwright,
Lusitania Victim.

Men and women whose duties
brought them into association with
Charles Klein gathered at the Hudson
Theatre yesterday afternoon to honor
the memory of the dead playwright.
More than ono thousand theatrical
folk, many OF them oldtimers who had
known Mr.. Klein in his struggling days
twenty or thirty years ago, listened
TO a melody from "El CAPTAIN" one of
the playwright's first successes, and to
addresses by various theatrical people.
Allusion was made by the speakers
TO the coincidence that, as the Lusi-
tania disaster caused the death Of Mr..
Klein, SO the Titsnic's sinking resulted
in the death of Henry b. Harris, the
greatest single factor in shaping Mr..
klein's career.
Augustus Thomas, who presided. said
he had known Mr.. Klein for thirty-two
years.
"lf I was asked 10 name his greatest
Characteristic" said Mr.. Thomas, Il
would say his sense Of justice, his lik-
ing for fair dealing, his truth. With
truth he had the qualities that it al
ways carries in its train: punctuality,
reliability, loyalty and courage. The
dramatic history Of the country cannot
be written and the name OF Charles
Klein omitted"
"His most dominant traits were his
simplicity and humanity" said William
Courtleigh, speaking for the Lambs.
AT the zenith Of hi. career he chose
his friends among the most humble
members of the profession
above al! else" said Margaret Mayo,
"he was friend Of the under dog"
J. !. c. Clarke, who was associated
with Mr.. Klein many years ago in
writing "Heartsease," named Bronson
Howard, Clyde Fitch and Charles Klein
as the three greatest American dra-
matists who have passed. Other speak
ers were Percy Ma kaye, Daniel Froh-
man and Howard KYLE
