Deputy Fire Commissioner
Stricken After Complet-

JEST HIS LAST
WORDS TO ADAMSON
Military Enthusiast, but Too
Tired to March, He Said
Heart Disease Causes End.

Deputy Fire Commissioner ". Holden
Weeks died from heart disease while
on Thirty-fourth Street car last night
He had spent the evening in presenting
a proposed amendment to the fire ordi-
nances for the better control of dyns-
mite and other high explosives to Fire
Commissioner Adamson, Clarence II.
Fay. secretary of the Fire Department
and Putnam A. Bates, chief Of the fire
alarm.
In speaking Of Mr.. Weeks after the
death last night Commissioner Adam
son said:
"We were all in the highest spirits
and the Deputy Commissioner heaved a
sigh of relief as he placed the amend
ment on the table. Then he joked
about the parade tomorrow and said
that he did not feel like marching. He
had worked very hard upon his new
amendment for the last two months,
and this may have had something to do
with his heart"

the last few days.
The situation in some parts OF the
provinces is said 10 be still rather dis
turbed. and II is likely that military
control in these districts will be con-
tinued for some time longer.
The opinion that sufficient eXecu-
tions have been carried out in connec-
ton with the recent revolt 10 show the
governments determination TO stamp
out treason is gathering strength in all
circles in Dublin. All leaders of the
uprising have been shot and many OF
their followers have been punished
with Imprisonment.
Searching inquiry among the various
classes of society, including civil OF.
fcials, business men and workmen OF
all grades, shows a striking unanlmlty
in the view that the government will be
faced with a very serious disaffection,
even among the hitherto loyal Nation
alsts. should executions continue.
Arrests and deportations also are
arousng sntipathy, especially IN cases
where persons were arrested merely be-
cause Sim Feiners fred from the roofs
of their houses. often without the
knowledge Of the occupants. II is as
serted that no fewer than ten munich
pal councillors Of Dublin have disap-
reared since the revolt began, and
whether they were jailed. deported or
killed in the fighting is unknown.
The behavior Of the Catholic clergy
during the recent outbreaks was SO
courageous that General Maxwell, conf
mander Of the British forces, sent
Archbishop Walsh a special letter Of
thanks requesting him to give the
names Of priests who had displayed
special gallsntry.
Archbishop Walsh replied. express

Only two large hotels are situated on
Fifth Avenue between the points mark
! ing the passage Of all parts OF the pa
rade. They are the Holland House and
the Waldorf, and neither has lost an
opportunity. All windows fronting on
the avenue have been engaged.
Preparedness parties at the Waldorf
will last all day. Both luncheon and
dinner. with numerous light refresh
ments intermingled, have been ordered.
Among those entertaining parties are
/ T.. B. Ashbury, with twenty guests; W.
E. Bruyn, Judge Burrell, William Berri.
Frederick Housman. Mrs. John ID.

All nine floors Of the Holland House

for the day at $50.
The Hotel Wolcott and others off the
line Of march are being besieged for &C
commodations.
The avenue itself Is quite prepared
for to-day's attack. Bunting and Amer

At So Fifth Avenue, the building is

Even the usually calm exterior OF the

preparedness. A small white bulletin
announced that on Sunday the Rev.
Howard Dufield, pastor Of tie church,
would preach on "The Nation on

/ The possibility that any tickets have
fallen into the hands of spectators
was scoffed at last night By Roger W.
Allen, secretary Of the parade. Two
rather seedy looking persons at Wash
ington Square said that they knew
where they could get bunch of tickets
and sell them for $40. They referred
to tickets for the main grsndstand. Mr..
Allen believes this contingency TO be
quite impossible, since all the tickets
have either been distributed through
the trade divisions, given TO Tyson's
agency or kept at headquarters.

Washington, May 12.-AgTeement Of
House and Senate conferrees on the
army reorganization bill is expected
tomorrow. The committee tonight,
ordered tentative print Of its report
with few sections still in dispute. A
deadlock was in prospect after a stormy
morning session, but this afternoon re-
suits came quickly.
So far as could be learned tonight
the regular army to be provided by the
conference bill would aggregate 49,
600 fighting men in time Of peace, Or

system provided in the Senate bill. so
that it might he expanded to 21s,000
men IN an emergency.
The national guard would aggregate
100000 men, required TO take an osth
OF allegiance to the national govern
ment. and have representation on the
General staff of the Army. The House
amendment to the government nitrate
plant section of the Senate bill has
been accepted.
While many minor details are TO be
worked out tomorrow. the tentative
agreement tonight prompted severai
of the conferrees to predict that COM
plete agreement could be reached to-
morrow. The Senate Federal volunteer
army plan has been abandoned. but
there is tentative agreement TO
amend the section authorizing military
instruction camps for volunteer citi
zens so as to provide that citizens
shall be paid at the rate of pay for
enlisted men while actually in training.

that we will agree on a report, and
that the agreement will come to-mor-

night. There are still some points of
importance in dispute, but it looks now
as though we have finished fighting an
