ALDRICH DIES IN NEW YORK (Continued from First Page.) naturally was more in evidence in the larger arena. While he gave spe- cial attention to the tariff and finan- cial legislation in committee, on the senate floor his car was open for all that was said on any subject of gen- eral importance. He seldom failed to participate in the discussion of any measure affecting governmental policies. Subject of Criticism. Naturally Mr. Aldrich's long-con- tinued 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 te defend himself against published attacks. He rarely permitted him- The fact that his daughter was mar- ried to a son of John D. Rockefeller served to strengthen the popular im. pression that Senator Aldrich was in some way peculiarly friendly to |the oil magnate, and considerate of the so-called “Rockefeller interests.” Yet when a friend of the senator once asked him for a letter to Mr. Rock- efeller, Mr. Aldrich replied: “As T have met Mr. Rockefeller only twice in my life I fear the let- ter would be of but little if any as- sistance to you."” Charged With Being Sectional. In legislation he was, chafged with being sectional. This is hardly borne out by the facts, and more than once he gained his points by utilizing the | conflicts of interests between west and south and east. A temporary opponent within his party when suddenly deprived of the floor during a debate on proposed currency reforms expostulated in vain. As he took his seat he said: “The scnate no longer is the great forum of free speech, at least not when the senator from Rhode TIsland is here.” Born in Foster, R. 1. Born in Foster, R. I., November 6, 1841, he first appeared in public| office as a member of the common | council in the city of Providence. He was elected to the Rhode Island as- sembly in 1875, and four years later sent to congress. After two sessions he was elevated to the senate, as suc- cessor of General Ambrose E. Burn- gide. Having begun his career as a busi- ness man, Senator Aldrich continued throughout his public service to dis- play businesslike methods and extra- crdinary capacity for organization. TUpon his election to the senate, he| was immediately made cnalrman 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 of the responsibility for all tariff and financial legislation before the senate. Heo 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 {ariff act was engineered through the cenate by him after many weeks of skillful maneuvering and hard fight- ing. Opposed by LaFollette, Mr. Aldrich was always Teady to “serve upon any trend of public busi- nress to advance legislative causes in which he was interested. The “banker’'s panic” of 1907 enabled him te give impetus to his plan to bring about monetary reforms. The first the Vreeland-Aldrich emergency cur- rency law of 1908, put through the senate by Aldrich after an Thistoric filibuster directed by Mr. LaFollette, the progressive republican from Wis- consin, who was aided by Mr, Stone of Missouri, a democrat Sharp parlia- mentary tactics enabled Mr. Andrich to bring the bill to a final vote, but in | taking Mr. LaFollette off nis feet Mr. Aldrich made an enemy who was re- lentless in hig opposition during.many subsequent legislative contests, The emergency currency law was | regarded by Mr. Aldrich as the best remedy possible of speedy enactment, but he did not stop there. He began work immediately upon a more per- manent plan of curreney reform, giv- | ing most of his time to the work of the natfonal monetary commission. He was able to devote his time unre-| servedly to his work because in 19811 he declined to be a candidate for re- election, giving ill-health as a reason. After his retirement from public life Mr, Aldrich spent much of his time in travel, but he continued to follow business affairs. He saw many f 'his ideas on the subjects of cur- rency enacted by the democrats and although the new law did not bear his name it i§ known to a large ex- tent he approved of what was done. Only Servants at House. Warwick Neck, R. I, April 16.— News of the death of former Senator Nelson W. Aldrich in New York, reached his home on the shores of Narragansett Bay through a press dis- patch today. Only the servants were at the house. Mrs. Aldrich and Miss Lucy Aldrich were in New Yeork; Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., another daughter, was at Tarrytown, and Mrs. (. H. Edgell was in the west. Of the five sons, Edward was at Brooklyn; Stu- art and Richard at Providence, and ; William at Boston. Mr. Aldrich had planned to come here tonight for a brief visit return- ing later in the season “or his usual summer sojourn. Aldrich Vstate Extensive. The Aldrich ‘state, uated on ‘he | . e Narragansett Bay, is one of the most extensive in the state. It comprises many acres on a point which overlooks the bay for miles. The large house has been the scene of many entertainments, including a reception to President Roosevelt, in August, 1902, The farm buildings and observation tower were destroyed by fire three weeks ago. GERMAN AVIATORS MAKE DAYLIGHT RAID ON ENGLISH TOWNS (Continued from First Page.) ties of Suffolk and Essex early this morning and dropped bombs within thirty-six miles of London, but so 1’:Ar1 as material damage was concerned the attack of the Germans was less successful than on previous occasions. Many bombs were dropped on towns and villages, but no loss of life re- sulted. The number of airships which took part in the raid is uncertain, but it assuredly was more than one, as at- tacks were made within a few min- | utes of each other at points seventy miles apart. The first was on Malden at 12:20 a. m., by a Zeppelin which | previously passed over Burnham and Southminster, After dropping bombs at Malden the airship turned north | and let fall more explosives at Hey- bridge. Tt may have been the same craft seen at 1 o'clock flying over Har- wich in the direction of Ipswich. Second Attack Made. A second attack was made between | 12:30 and 12:45 a. m., on Southwold, ten miles south of Lowestoft on the North sea. At Lowestoft, where three bombs were dropped, a lumber yard was set on fire, three horses were killed and | many windows were broken: at Seuth- wold, where several bombs were | dropped, railways trucks were fired: at Malden a house was struck, but only slightly damaged; at Heybridse | several bombs were dropped but no damage has been reported. Sighted Zeppelin Airship, A telegram received here from Mui- den in Holland, says the Norwegian | steamer Dag, that came into that, port this morning, reports | | having sighted a Zeppelin airship at 5 o'clock | at a point five miles off the Dutch | coast. The airship was headed in the direction of Germany and is believed to be one of the invaders on her way | home, 5 Drops Bombs in Kent.
