though he still kept an interest in the busi

from time to time in the summer of 19-32
Mrs. Alexander went to Jersey to stay
during the hot weather, leaving Lewis and
Callier in the apartment.
CaUtsr and hi? brother became reconciled
about that time, and la June, 1902, the
Frenchman showed a friend in this city a
draft for $12,000 and tickets on one of the
French steamers for France. That was trie
last his friends here saw of him. He went
to the apartment of Mrs. Alexander, and
soon afterward Lewis shipped the trunk
containing- the body to his Mends, the
Meag-hers, who were then living at No
MS West 47th street.
Brother Searches for Calmer,
Rene Callier cane to this country a snort
time afterward to ;ook for his brother. He
applied to the French consul for assistance
arid staved here for about a week The po
lice were asked tc help or. the search, but
nothing was accomplished at that time.
When Lewis was asked what had become
of his friend CaJlier, he said that the
artist had inherited some money and gone
back to France.
Pryor. Lewis's ether friend, whom he
regarded with more than the closeness of
a brother, did not inherit any money and is
still alive But he had his experiences with
Lewis on ■ smaller scale. He said yester
day:
"'Lewis was a slicJv artist. I never hunted
him up. bat be was such a smooth one and
fooled me so completely that I was always
glad to Fee him. My friends told me to
watch out tor him. that he was a snake in
the grass My sister told m*> that. too. But
I would not. believe them. He robbed me,
and- I couldn't believe it. He robbed one of
my friends at the same time, and T couldn't
believe It It was not until after he robbed
another of my friends that I began to have
my eyes opened. and even then I found It
hard to believe. I ruess I was luck:-- to get
off as easy as I did.
"Lewis always dressed fine an.-? had a lot
of expensive clothes I had a Tuxedo coat,

day off and w<> would go out together and '
I woald put on my Tuxedo. Lewis would !

time whenever he wanted it
"He would come to see me, and we would

one drink. Then I would bay a couple and '
then I would begin to spend my money,
and he wouldn't spend a cent and we would
go around and have a pood time. He talked
| a lot about his friend, the French artist,
j about CalHer. but I never saw CalHer.
"In 1901 I was going back to Ireland to
see the old folks, and I gave a sort of party
•- Marsh's, where I worked then, at Sixth
avenue and 34th streeT There was lots to

was going to sail for Ireland the next day,
July 3. When I woke up in the morning I

there was %': lying- on the Boor beside him,

Lewis was around in the morning to go
to the steamer with me, though, and he
wanted me to go to the police station and
make a complaint. I was afraid of the po
lice, though, and I didn't have time. My
friends told me then that Lewis was a
snake in the grass, but I wouldn't believe
them. He was too smooth I have always
thought since, though, that it wa-s mighty

"When I came back Lewis was the first
man to shake hands with me when I came
down the gangplank. That was in Sep
tember, and I brought him some fine linen
handkerchiefs ■ at I had had marked with
his initial?. He often showed me the hand
kerchiefs afterward, and he wanted to
know how much they cost. I lent him . a
pair of gloves once to wear in the -evening
—white cloves, you know— but he never
shewed them to me again.
"When I came back I went to live in a

I don't say that Lewis sto c the money,

funny that the money was ai<va; r s gone

Saw Lewis Last in 1904.
"Lewis always had a bottle of whiskey
In his room. He was very particular about
his whiskey. It was Irish and he. got it
at a particular place downtown. He had
a bottle cased in wickerwork hat he kept
it in. He bad it in his trunk at Garden
City and offered me a drink out of it. I
saw It in his trunk again in 63d street.
I knew the bottle because it had a nick
In one side. I spoke about its being the
same bottle and he laughed and said he
wouldn't lose that bottle for a lot
The last time I saw him was in the
fall of 1504. I met .him in the street one
day and he asked me to stand up at his
wedding. I told him that I would, but I
never saw him again."
Lewis is said by those who knew him
•- have been very regular in bis religious
observances. While he was at the Critch
leys in Brooklyn in 15&& he went every
Sunday to mass at St. Michael's Roman
Catholic Church, la Clermont avenue, and
when he lived in Harlem he was a regular
attendant at All Saints, at Madison ave

married at St Joseph's, at Columbus ave

St Joseph's, was his confessor
Le - .«"s and Miss Enright were to have
been married on January -- '-- c They both
vent to confession on the Saturday before
the wedding day and took communion to
gether the next morning.
Lewis thought that he had consumption
and while they cried to deny it to him.
many ol bis friends thought "so also, and'
were of the opinion that he could not live
long. The Critchieys tnought that he was
a consumptive and for this reason advised
him to ride his bicycle as much as possible
and Uv< in the open air.
Mrs Kenny, with whom he lived for soma
time, was sure that Lewis had consump

Colonel Robert C Clowry resigned as
president of the "Western Union Telegraph
Company yesterday and Theodore N. Vail,

quired practical control of the former cor
poration through the purchase of the Gould
holdings, was elected to succeed him. Colo

member of the executive committee of the
Western Union.
Another change in the management of
the Western Union Company made by the
board of directors yesterday was the elec
tion of Newcomb Carlton, formerly vice
president and general manager of the Brit
ish Westingho.use Company, as vice-presi
dent, to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of George J. Gould at the an
nual meeting last October. The retirement
of Colonel Clowry from the presidency of
the Western Union Telegraph Company
had been expected in the financial district
since the American Telephone and Tele
graph Company bought into the property.
Colonel Clowry wrote to Mr. Vail a week
ago inclosing his resignation, to take effect
on November 23, and requesting the latter
to submit, it to the board on that date. In
his letter to Mr. Vail he said he was glad
to turn the work of managing: the company
over to another President Vail, when
asked yesterday if there was any other
reason than that stated in his letter of
resignation why Colonel Clowry had re
signed as head of the company, said that
there was none that he knew of. Mr. Vail
said there would be no radical change in
the policy of the company
Colonel Clowry would not add anything
to his formal letter of resignation, other
than to say that he was the happiest man
in New Tork now that his resignation had
been accepted and he was at liberty to take
a much needed rest.
Theodore X. Vail, who new becomes pres
ident of the Western Union Company, is a
nephew of Alfred Vail, who was the friend,
partner and supporter of £ F. B. Morse.
the inventor of the telegraph. Alfred Vail
was the practical man of the two; he seized
upon the conception of Morse, made the in
struments, invented numerous accessories
so that the system would work, and was
the first operator. Morse was at one end
of the wire and Vail at the other when, in
1844, the first telegraph message, "What
God hath wrought, ' was sent over the
ire
President Vail was horn in Carroll Coun
ty, Ohio, in 1845. His family later moved
to Morristown, x. J , and as a bey he
worked in the local telegraph office there.
He became a proficient operator, and in
IBS he went West and obtained a position
as telegraph operator with the Union Pa
cific Railroad, which was then in process
of construction. •In 1869. through the
friendly offices of General Grenville M.
Dodge, chief engineer of the Union Pacific,
Mr. Vail obtained an appointment in the
United States railway mail service, and
seven y-jars later he ---as appointed super
intendent of the entire service.
. In IS7S Mr. Vail took hold of the tele
phone, and in a striking- repetition devel
oped the invention of Beil as his uncle had
developed the invention of Morse forty
years before Mr. Bell and his associates
asked Mr. Vail to take the place of busi
ness manager and builder of the telephone
system. He resigned from th» government
service and began work on the structure
that stands to-day as the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company, with its
associated Bell companies.
Colonel Robert C Clowry the retiring
president, has been head of the company
since April 1, 1862 He first became connected
with the company in the summer of 1566
when he was appointed district superin
tendent of the Western Union lines in the
Southwest. In December, ■-- he was an
rued assistant genera! superintendent,
with headquarters in Chicago, and in " May

as general superintendent of the territory
west of the Mississippi. In October, ISSS,
he was elected a director, member of the

[From The Tribune Bureau. I
I Washington. Nov. 23.— The population
1 of New York State is 9.113,279. accord
j ing to the official figures made public to
! dai* by E. Dana Durand. Director of the
! Census. This is a gain in the last dec
j ade of 1.544.385. cr 25.4 per cent. In the
1 preceding decade the increase was 1,
271.041 or 21.2 per cent.
i j New York easily retains its place as
i the first state in the Union in popula
j tion. On the basis of the present ratio
[ of representation in the House of Repre
.'. sentatives. 194,182, the Empire Stat
; would be entitled to forty-sevn Repre
1 sentatives. Under the apportionment of
ten years ago New York State increased
■ its membership in the House from thirty
'■ four to thirty- seven.
; The upstate increase in population in
■ the last decade did not keep pace with
the increase in greater ;N>*v York. The
■ gain □ New York City in the last ten
! years was 1,139,681, and the gain out
side of th* city was 515,704. The per
centage of gain in the city was 38 7.
' -while the gain for the entire state was
' I 25.4 per cent. The percentage of gain
, for the state compares favorably. ho-wv
e-er. with records in former decennial
■ census periods. This gain was greater
in the last ten years than in any other
r r. year period since ISSO. when the per
1 centage of increase was 27.5.
Of the sixty -one counties in New York
; gains were made by all except fifteen
The following showed losses as com
pared with the census of ten years ago.

In ten of the New York counties the
gains over the census of ten years ago j
j were less than one thousand. These
> counties are Cattaraugus, Cayuga, Che
mung, Clinton, Columbia, Livingston,
I Oswego, Putnam. Saratoga and Steuben.
Although New York City has uniform
ly held the rank of the premier city of
I the country in point of population, it
-va? not until the fourth census that
i New York State took first rank among
the states At the first census taken
■ in 1790, New York was fifth in popula
tion. Virginia being first. Pennsylvania
second. North Carolina third and Mas
sachusetts fourth. Ten years later New
j York was in third place, Virginia and
Pennsylvania being first and second, re
spectively. In 1810 New York was in
second place, Virginia holding its place j
i? the nrst state. In IS2O New York j
took the lead and has held it ever since j
North Carolina, which was third in 1790.
was in eighteenth place ten years ago.
while Virginia, the first state from 1790
j to 1820, was in sixteenth place ten years
ago. Pennsylvania has been the second
ss r it° m population since 1830.
City's Remarkable Growth.
New York City for the first time has !
become greater in point of population J
r. ld all the remainder of the state.
While this is the most striking feature
of the figures, almost as remarkable is
the rate of growth of the state Since
1 IST" !r! r has doubled in population This i
increase la largeh- attributable to the
growth of the cities, and is believed by
the census officials to be due to the de
velopment of manufacturing interests
and to foreign immigration.
With this increase in population will
come a larger representation in the lower j
branch of Congress, where New- York
has thirty-seven members. The
exact number of nncr^ r Representatives
will be ten if the present ratio of ap

The drift of population from the agri
cultural districts to the cities in the
older states is clearly •indicated in the i
census returns. for New York and Ohio.!
In "New York fifteen of the sixty-one ;
counties bowed: a decrease in popula- ]
tion, while others made only meagre in- j
creases. Only the counties containing 1 J
the larger cities made any considerable;
grains in population. The movement j
■was* more marked in Ohio than in New]
York, for in the [ Buckeye ' State thirty j
nine •of the elghty.-eight . counties \
snowed aecreases, ■om in twenzy-one ■
other counries the-. increase was less than j
two thousand. ' ' _' -- r
