Little Ones Weep in Agony Over Body of Their Father. s ‘While her four bereaved children wept in anguish over the dead body oi their father all threugh Sunday night DMrs. Niendick of 27 Pearl street lay intoxicated on the floor oblivious of her surroundings and regardless of the rights due to her little ones and to the dead. On Monday morning Mrs. Martin Fuetscher of 2% Eleventh street, who had heard of: the sad occurrence, called at the Niendick home and was’ confronted with the de- grading spectacle. An undertaker was at once summoned and the body removed. Kindly disposed neighbors volunteered their assistance and did what they could pearance. Niendick was a laborer of dissipated habits. A few months ago he was at- tacked by a cancer, and when! his condi- tion became threaténing he was removed to the City and County Hospital. On Sun- day he was informed that he must sub- mit to an operation from which there was but slight hope of recovery. He 10se unseen from his bed and left the hospital for home. When he regched the house he—had just sirength ehonet to biveee himself on the bed, where he died a sort time afterward. Mrs. Niendick took her second oldest child, leaving two younger ones behind, | her story. The eldest child was living with the Fuetschers, who had rescued her from her parents. In company with the two children she then returned to her own house, becoming intoxicated on the journey. The case was reported to Secretary White of the Society for the Prevention | of Cruelty to Children and an investiga- tion was at once made. When White and Officer McMurray went to the Nien- dick house they found the widow again drunk and combative. In view of the sad circumstances Secretary White did not remove the children immediately, but will wait until after the funeral, which takes place this afternoon, when he will apply for letters of guardianship and | place the little ones in some charitable institution. | McRINLEY MEMORIAL { COMMITTEE ORGANIZES | Citizens to Be Given Opportunity to | Contribute to the National | Monument Fund. | A meeting of the committee of citizens | of San Erancisco for the McKinley N tional Mefnorial Association was held yes- terday at 3 p. m. and the following offi- cers were selecte: General J.

WAG- ENER, WHO DIED IN THIS CITY SUNDAY. PRASE ACTION OF RODSEVELT Clergymen Approve the Booker Washington Incident. CHICAGO, Oct. 22.—President Roose- velt's action in entertaining Booker T. Washington at the White House was up- held and publicly approved by the Amer- ican Missionary Association, _wnich opened its fifty-fifth annual meeting to- day at the First Congregational Church at Oak Park. The matter had been a topic of ¢ versation among the delegates to the con. vention throughout the day, the society's prominence in the education of the negro making it a matter of unusual interest. Adaitional importance was lent to the affair from the fact thac sooker T. Wash- ington is a protege of the association. He received his first assistance in securing an education from the ociation and the impetus thus given him in his youth has often been acknowledged by him as the basis for the eminence he now enjoys. The following resolution was unanimously adopted: The American Missionary Association of Con- gregational Churches desires to express its cor- dial approval of the act of President Roosevelt in entertaining at the White House recently Booker T. resentative of his people, thus ignoring race prejudice, publicity and officially reaffirming the equal rights of American citizenship and emphasizing the principle of brotherhood re- | vealed by our great exemplar and master, Christ. The same matter received attention from the Rev. S. Parks Cadman of Brook- lyn, who delivered the evening sermon. Referring to the incident, he said: We cannot shut out from the inclusive mean- ings of the blessed evangel any single child of the race, and we rejoice In the courage of our chief magistrate, who receives at the ex- | ecutive mansion of this nation a distinguished son of our African citizenship. who is also an apostle of the principles for which I am plead- ing. There is scarcely a monstrous paradox in the social order of to-day which cannot be traced to the refusal of man to link every other man with the efficient causes of tha kingdom of God, and_the failure to look upon him as a brother in Christ and to estimate him by the law of Christian comjty. FARMINGTON, Conn., Oct. 22.—Presi- | dent Roosevelt's day in Farmington pro- vided q toric annals of this ordinarily_quiet old town. The intention of the ~President's sister, Mrs. Cowles. to make the occasion a private affair was considerably over- come by the anxiety of the people to see the President and to shake his hand. Everybody on the street was inquiring when and where the President could be seen, but the mass of people went away satisfied, for the President made three dashes through vortions of the town. In the last of these he rode out in an open | carriage througn the big erowd assembled on the principal street corners just at the conclusion of the ceremony of planting a McKinley memorial oak. The President’s day was filled with en- joyable rides. walks and receptions. It was concluded this evening with a dinner given at the home of Commander and! Mrs. Cowles. Among the guests at the dirner were the President and his daugh- ter, Miss Alice Roosevelt: telyou, Assistant Secretary Barnes. United States Senators Joseph R. Hawley and Orville H. Platt and their wives, and Gov- error George P. McLean. Retween hi: two rides the President and a few friends took a long tramp to Pinnacle Mountain. The President will leave Farmington at §:10 a. m. to-morrow and will arrive in New Haven about an hour late GOSSIP GATHERED AT POLITICAL HEADQUARTEES Digpute Among Union Men Weakens Schmitz’s Fight Daily—Ma- honey Club Formed. The dispute between the Building Trades Council and some of the unions relative to the candidacy of Eugene Schmitz for Mayor, which culminated in the refusal Monday night of the Paint- ers' Union to lsten to an address by Schmitz, promises to bring about im- portant developments. That the failure of the labor element to agree as to Schmitz is rapidly weakening his fight, even his most ardent admirers recognize. There appears to be a law among the unions which prohibits the discussion of political questions at meetings of those bodies. Notwithstanding this law, Schmitz prepared an itinerary which in- cluded about every union in the city and began his canvass for votes. When Presi- dent P. H. McCarthy heard of this he caused a circular letter to be addressed to the unions under the jurisdiction of the council notifying them that the discussion of political matters at union meetings ‘was contrary to the laws of unionism. The Painters’ Union was compelled to heed the counsel, the result being that Schmitz was turned down. At the headquarters of the Union Labor party vesterday it was announced that many unions were preparing to.form clubs in the interest of Schmitz. The labor party managers realize that they have an ughlll fight and that since the declaration of war by the Building Trades Counell the chances for the ticket's success are grow. ing worse daily. At is current gossip among union men that Schmitz’s fight makes it possible for Tobin to win, and many conservative Germans, who, a week ago were strong for the musician candi. date, have now deserted his cause. Thne sentiment ~so strongly displayed in Schmitz's behalf last week south of Mar- ket street has now switched for Tobin. There is great activity noticeable about the Tobin headquarters at Market and Turk streets. Dozens of communications are being received by every mail contain- ing words of encouragement for the voung candidate, as well as fervent assurances of support. The mangers of Tobin's cam- paign are energetic workers and they are thoroughly billing the town.

Obstinacy Not to Retard Work on the Com- mission’s Report. Special Dispatch to The Call CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—These two important facts developed to-day in con- nection with the negotiations between the Panama Canal Company and the Isth- mian Canal Commission relative to the price the former is disposed to fix upon its canal concession: A final and definite proposal has not yet been made by Hutin and Boeufve, repre- senting the company. A hait in the negotiations has occurred in consequence of the divergent interpre- tations of the letter written by Rear Ad- miral Walker, chairman of the commis- sion, to Hutin in May last relative to the sale of the canal to this Government. How long this deadlock will continue cannot be determimed, but in the mean- time each par.y is charging the other Toh fhrowheg Sbstacies In the way of a satisfactory agreement. Hutin and Boeufve positively decline to speak in any way of the representations they have made to the commission. Rear Admiral Walker is equally reticent. It is learned, however, that there have been no con- ferences between the several gentlemen participating in the discussion since last Friday afternoon. The commission is going ahead with the preparation of its report irrespective of the Panama Company's agents. It is the purpose of Rear Admiral Walker and his associates to complete the report by No- vember 15. If Hutin and Boeufve have not made their proposal by that time, the commission will state in its report that in the endeavor to obtain from the com- pdny a price at which it was willing to dispose of its property it failed. In its preliminary reports the commission esti- mated the value of the Panama work at $34,000,000, but it understood that addition- al data secured has brought this estimate to almost $50,000,000. So far as can be ascertained, the canal company will want a much larger sum forthe property. Questions a Lack of Tribute. VIENNA, Oct. 22.—In the lower house of the Reichsrath to-day Herr Stein, Pan- German, asked why the president of the House had departed from the custom in not paying a tribute to the late President MgKinley, and whether it was thereby infended to establish the theory that there was a difference in the standing of heads of state in a republic and in a monarchy. The president promised to make a reply at a subsequent sitting. @ i e CABRIES COIN 70 THE POLIGE The Companion of Bank Messenger Armitage | Surrenders.
