And flitterbats waver'd alow, above :

And sands were a ribbon of green endowing,

Thro' the rare rod heather we danced together,
(0 love, my Willie) and smelt for flowers:
I must montim again it was gorgeous weather.
Rhymes are so scarce in this world of ours:?
By rises that flush'd with their purple favours,
Thro* becks that brattled o'er grasses sheen,
We walked and waded, we two young shavers,
Thanking our stars we were both so green.
We journeyed in parallels, I and Willie,
In fortunate parallels! Butterflu

Or rosy as pinks, or a? roses pinky?

they skim over bents which the millstream ??-ashes.

W. H. BLATCH KILLED
BY ELECTRIC WIRE
Husband of the Suffrage
Leader Dies in Yard at
Playwright's Home.
Mrs. Harriot Stanton Blntch, prisi
dent of the Women's Political Union,
who has been bearing the suffrage
torch through the upper part of the
state, wai called home from her tour
yesterday by a telegram announcing;
the death of her husband, William H.
Blateh, whom she left at their home at
Shoreham, Long Island, Saturday, in
perfect health. A live wire ?truck him
a.- he wa- walking away from the home
of < hannlng Pollock, the playwright,
where he had been to return a book.
Mr. Blateh was an Englishman, quiet
and studious. Since hi- retiren.
few year- ago from the brewing com
which he founded, he had .-pen'
most of his time at home, reading, ?
working in the garden in the summer
and playing with his little grand?
daughter, Mrs. Nora Blateh I'e Foi
child. He loved to rise early, and It
was barely 7 o'clock yesterday when he
. i at Mr. Pollock's door with
McGiU'a "The Uat Pit," which he had '
lust finished, in his hand. The play
wright wasn't up, and Mr. Blateh left
the book on the porch and star'ed
away. A little while afterward a maid
employed at the P?>l!ock home I
Mr. Blateh lying dead across the path,
the live wire in his hand.
Mr. Bollock, hearing the maid's
out, seized the tirst
thing at hand and tried to pry the wire
from Mr. Blateh's grasp. It ci
to be the wooden sign with the name
of hi- eottage, "The Parsonage." It
was wet from the rain, and Mr. Pol?
lock got a shock that knocked him to
the ground. Then he found a rake that
Iry, and wrenched the wire loose.
Telegrams were sent to Mr?. Blateh af
Syracuse, where she spoke Sat
night, and to Mrs De Forest, who had
made an early start for New York.

Mr. Blateh, while he seldom ap- .

'PASSING THE BUCK'
INSULTS M'CALL
With Cram and Wood,
Tells Thompson He Does
Not Indulge.
BROOKLYN "L" STARTS
LIVELY DISCUSSION
Chairman Refuses to Stop Con?
struction Pending Court
Action.
The members of the Fublic Service
Commission had an opportunity yes?
terday to answer to the allegations of
"passing the buck," and of ignoring the
invitations to appear as witnesses be?
fore the Thompson legislative investi?
gating committee, which were made by
Chairman Thompson, of the committee.
The committee met in the commission's
public hearing room in The Tribune ;
Building, and the tables were reversed.
Senator George F. Thompson, and his
associates on the committee, occupied ,
the chairs of the commissioners on the I
dais, while Chairman McCall and the !
other members of the commission sat ,
in the seats down below usually occu- ;
pied by the public.
Chairman .'lea.', laid his seeming
negligence in not, appealing before the
committee !a?t week was uue to not
receiving the invitation until late ,
Thursday. He awaited a second tele?
phone call from Chairman Thompson,
which never came, he said, before keep?
ing an out-of-town engagement. Com?
missioner McCall explained that he told
Chairman Thompson he would come j
back 101 miles if he received a tele- ?
phone message from him.
Commissioners Cram and Wood de
elared heatedly tfcat they had not been
notified that they were wanted, and ,
that the-, had no' gone out of town for ,
the purpose of "avoiding ?crvice," or ,
.? hue':.."
Deputy Attorney General Lewis,
counsel for th? committee, apologized
to Chairman McCall, saying that no
insult was intended. Chairman Thomp?
son said the committee was not down
here "to get anybody," but to aid the
city and not eriticil? any commission,
corporation or citizen. The storm
blew over.
The real purpose of the session was
to question Chairman McCall about the
complaints of Brooklyn citizens a.
the third-tracking of the Fulton Street
elevated line, a? detrimental to prop?
erty interests Chairman McCall said
it was necessary to use heavy gird- is
on the structure, which, it was iai '.,
shut off the light, becaua? of the heavy
car?. He said the commission sym?
pathised with persons who complained
the third-tracking spoils their prop?
erty, but since the matter was before
the courts the commission could not
order the work stopped
Chairman McCall said he opposed
any action which sought to delay the
completion of the dual system, and
that he did not believe the courts
would stop the work on the Fulton
line. Chairman McCall and
Chairman Thompson had a ?rigorous
discussion a nal ltd the
Public Service Commission could in?
terrupt the work pending the action of
the Courts. Mr. McCall said he would
not interfere with the courts.

intimated that th' party might stand
to "unite under any oanner" for
the national election next year. Mr
Childs and George W. Perkins were the
two must ardent advocates of stand
patism at the recent meetin.-, when
state committee men favored a return
to the Republican rar.
"If the Reou'. ? ? ir. Kinf*

Ref??rring to the national ???uation,
Mr l'hiId* ?aid:
"I believe there are to-day more in?
dependent voters in this country than
ever vitally in earnest in their de?
sire to study pubiic policies for the

of the country.
"If the present national administra- '
tion and the incoming Contre?? do not
place our country upon the proper
economic basis for general prosperity,
the Progressive party should stand :
ready to unite under any banner."
DiscusHing the situation occasioned
by the European war, Mr. Child? de?
clared that "we ar? ill prepared for
war, but still more ill prepared for
peace." A? on assurance of peace, he
said, the Progressive party stood for !
immediate and thorough naval and mil?
itary preparation? ?gainst war, with ad?
equate reserves in both branches.

CITY SAVED $250,000,
DECLARES CURRAN
Bullock's Criticism of Contracts
Tammany's Plan to Discredit
Administration, He Says.
The a'.tack on the Board of Alder?
men by .he Tammany Bureau of City
Inquiry for letting contracts without
public bidding was discounted yester?
day by Fienry H. Curran. George M<*
Aneny, president of the board, is away,
and Mr. Curran, as vice-chairman of
the board, spoke for the majority of
the board when he said:
"I am not surprised at this fresh at?
tack from Tammany Hall, as it is well
known that Mr. Bullock's little knock
factory is a Tammany attempt to dis
credit the present administration.
"As a matter of fact, these exemp?
tions from public letting which the
board has granted have saved the city
,250,000 in cash; that is easily proved,
down to the last dollar. There is no
poin* in ?liscussing the false statement
that goes with the so-called letter to
Pre il lent McAneny."
PRIEST REBUKES
MARRYING MAYOR
Pastor Supported Official's Elec
tion?Now Finds Ideas
Vary.
Orange, N. J., Aug. 2.- Because
Mayor Daniel F. Minaban insist- on
performing mamares for Italians,
ionera of the Catholic Church of
Our Lad) of Mount Carmel, the Rev.
John J. Rongetti, pastor, sharply criti?
cised the official to-day.
Father Rongetti also complained that
the Mayor, who is a Catholic, had is?
sued permits to some parishioners to
-'reet demonstrations on certain
saints' days, according to the Italian
custom.
TJie priest sa;d that he urged the
election of Minahan last vear, because
he thought he would co-operate with
him. F;ther Rongetti is opposed to
street or public saints' days celebra?
tions, because they are not in accord ,
with his methods.
"I wrote to Mayor Minahan," said
the priest, "atter I had failed to make
arrangements for a conference. The
. was impoosible
for him to refuse to permit street dem
onstratian?. He also refused to dis-,
continue performing marriages."
Mayor Minahan said he was well ad?
vised, and did not intend to become
involved in a controversy with Father
Rongetti.
