Trtlal C.iMr llrtpiHh ti The See,
I.o.vhon. Aug. S. In tho House of Com
mons to-day the Balfour Unionist! said
they were prepared to repeal the parlia
ment bill when they came into power,
substituting some reform In Its place
Tim Spcnkor wos compelled to Intervene
several times and tho uproar caused
strong language from the Unionist hot
spurs. l.oi d Hugh Cecil wanted the
Premier punished under the criminal law
and Sir Edward Carson spoke or the
Premier's "blackmailing letters whereby
his Majesty had been trapped " Both
icmarks drew o gentlo rebuke from the
Chair.
Sir Henry asked whether when the
King was asked to give his guarantee
for the creation of new peerit ho (the
King) was advised what effect It might
ha ve on the whole liomemle controversy.
Winston Churchill, the Home Secretary,
who ippliod for th? Premier, created "n
sensation by declaring that his Majesty
was ncqnaintod with all the matters In
dispute, among which one of the most
important was home rule This state
ment was interpreted to mean that the
(iovemmeiu intends to apply the King's
guarantee for forclrg the home rule
bill through the present session of Par
liament The Home Secretary slid: "The Sov
ereign takes no part In party politics
and does not identify himself with either
party, but his Majesty in November was
fully acquainted with the facts of the
political situatlen and that home rule
was one or the matters of dispute. How
should there be any mistake about this?
It Is absurd to my that we made any
secret of the consistent intntion to sue
tho machinery of the parliament bill
to secure the passage of home rule.
In the House of Lords there was digni
fied quietude, which "va in marked con
trast to th other house. Lord Curzon
moved that the fiovernment be censured
njong the lin"s of the motion made by Mr.
Balfour yeirdiv Th motion carried
charges of a breach or the Constitution,
coercion or the King, the inadmissibility
of creating petrs because the Irish faction
demanded it. and finally stigmatized ns a
crime the passing of th home rul bill
without submitting it to the country-
The vote of censure was carried by a
vote of :S2 to Gs.
Iiord'Crew referring to'the interview
h hiuI Mr Asqulth had with the King
said: "We suggested that if the opinion
or the country clearly be ascertained
upon the Parliament bill in the last resort
the creation of peers might be the only
way or ending. the dispute. His Majesty
faced the contingency and entertained
the 'suggestion as possible, hut with
natural and lgitinvito reluctance "
Lord few. Mill talking of the creation
of peers, s.lid "The whole liusinoss,
frankly admit, is odious to me."
Th Karl or Cr defended the f!ov
eTitnoi't 1! admitted that as a party
the House nf Ixnl wa not or one mind
on the quention or new poors, but declared
that it would r.ot hesita'o if compelled
In th" House of Commons Lloyd George
moved for a clr.uro, which was carried
by a vote of 335 to '.'do.
Tho Government has made two minor
concessions in the veto bill
The Speaker
l to havo a committee of two selected
from a panel of chairmen to help decide
whnt are rnonev bills, and tho machinery
of the veto bill will not bo used to extend

Sprong, 30 years old. son of J. White
Sprong. purchasing agent for the. Dels
ware and Hudson llnllroad, and Robert
I. Hlckson and James Longshore were
arrested here this afternoon on tho charge
of robbery in the first degree. It Is al
leged that the three men locked Dr. F.
M. Joslln of Voorlieesvllle In a room In the
Edison Hotel in this city and demanded
ISO from him on the thrcit that he would
be thrown from the window.
The doctor said the three men got nil
tho money he had, which was $8. It Is
said that tho trio have confessed, saying
that they were much in need of money.
Sprong has been In this city for about
a week. It is said he came here with
about $300, but when arrestod he had only
SI In his pockets. He engaged a room
on the top floor of the Edison Hotel and
then Is alleged to have telephoned to Dr.
Joslln of Voorheesville, knowing him lo be
a man of wealth.
Dr. Joslln's story Is:
"I was called on the long distance tele
phone about I o'clock Monday afternoon
by Sprong. I had met him only once.
but knew his people. He said he was 111
In his room at the Edison Hotel and asked
me to come and see him, but not to tell his
people. I told him I would be there about
4 o'clock In the afternoon.
"I took my automobile and started for
this city, Arriving at. the appointed time.
I was met in tho hotel by a bellboy who
escorted me to room 32 on the top floor
of the hotel, where 1 found Sprong. He
was not In bed and 1 had no soonerentered
tho room than two other men came In and
ono of them locked the door and closed the
transom.
"Sprong then told me that he didn't call
me for any medical purposes, but that he
wanted money. He asked me for $50 and
told me that If I didn't give it to him I
would be thrown from the window to the
street and that no one would know how I
met death. I told Sprong I didn't have
that much money with me and then he
asked me to give him a check Tor the
amount I told him I didn't have my
check book with me.
"He then became angry and made a
grab after my gold watch. His fingers
caught in the chain and we had quite a
tussle in which Sprong grabbed a water
pitcher and threatened to break it over
my head. I finally got free from him.
"I then told Sprong that I would give
him all the money I had. which was but $S.
He consented, and when I gave him this
money he threw the key to the door on
the ld and told me I could go. I unlocked
the door and hurried to the hotel desk,
where I reported the matter and then left.
However. I was told by the men that If I
ever mentioned the matter to the police
or any one else I would be killed. They
also asked me if I would come back the
next day. which was Tuesday, and give
them $50. I told them I was game."
It is alleged that Longshore was the
man who locked the door after the doctor
entered. Hickson, who Is the local man,
eays he took no part in the robliery, but
merely sat In a chair in the room as a
witness to everything that occurred. He
is held on the smie charge as th two other

A FOOTNOTE
Though w continually urge
the need for rapid building, we
arc equally strong on economy
of cost and quality.
In fact, speedy completion of
a building is a great factor in an
economical cost, for the sooner
a building is finished the sooner
it will yield a return on the In
vestment. But aside from that, we are
in the best possible position to
drive actual cosn to a minimum
without impairing the quality
of the work.

all summer. His Illness took a serious
turn about n week ago although he rallied
! somewhat and It was only a few mlnuU'-s
before his death that It was realized that
tho end was near.
Senator Fryo's death means that Maine
will bo represented by two Democrats
in tho United State Senate, as It will de
volvo upon tho present Democratlo (lov
crnor, Plalsted, to name Senator Fryo's
successor until the Legislature meets one
year from noxt winter.
There will be probably three active can
didates for the honor, William M. Pennell,
who was u candidate ngalnst the present
Senator Johnson; K. B. Winslow.a member
or the executlvo council, nnd James C,
Hamlen, n merchant nnd former candidate
for Congress. All live In Portland.

reelected six years later and again in
190. He was praotically Vice-President
of the United States for nearly six years,

of Vice-President Hobart and continuing
until the close or President McKinley's
first administration.
When Theodore Roosevelt assumed

But when Mr Roosevelt succeeded to
the office of President, on the death of
Mr McKinley, Senator Frye again be

continued throughout th first Roosvelt
administration.
While thus acting he drew the salary
of the Vice-President's office and occu
pied Uie room just off the Senate chamber,
set aside for the Vice-President

fairest men who ever occupied that
office and was universally esteemed
for his Impartial rulings and lack of
partisanship.
Senator Frye was about SI years old.
He had a record for forty years of service
in Congress.' His service began in the
House, where he continued until March
15. 1SSI. Then he succeeded James 0.

Senator Frye's death removed from the
activities of Congressional life one of its
sturdiest figures. He wns one or the few
remaining members or that old guard in
Congress which, starting at t he bottom
or the political ladder, came up through
the various promotions or local politics
to a seat in the House and graduated
rrom that service into tho Senate. In
tins class of statesmen were Senators
Hoar of Massachusetts, Hale of Mainn,
Morrill of Vermont, Cullom of Illinois
nnd Jntnes CI. Blaine.
In his early political career Senator
Frye was unusually actlvo In politics.
He wns a very popular public speaker in
Maine and in fact tliroucliout tho count rv
Ho mixed freely with the people ami had
a wide personal popularity. He was
known to the rank and file as' Hill Krve.
former citien of Maine related to
night a story or his first attendance upon
ono of Senator Frye's political meetings,
the ntator appeared before his audience
in a small rural community of .Maine, it
wns a very warm evening and ho asked
riermission to remove his coat and vest
The request was granted, accompanied
by a cheer.
"I can always handle the Democrats
better ill my shirt sleeves," leuiarkinl the
orator And from that moment he had
his audience with him. It was one of
Senator Fryo'a favorite tricks on the
hustings.
Senator Liigene Hale defeated Mr, Frye
for the Senate the first time the latter
was a candidate The vacancy was
caused by the death or ilr.nnilial Hamlin.
II was a haul fought battle and Senator
Fi vc'h friends nlways said that Mr. Halo
won through the intluenee of Mr. Blaine.
Shortly thereafter Mr. Hlaine resigned to
go into the Cabinet of I'residnit (iarlleld
and Mr Fryo was elected as Senat or Hule's
colleague nnd they continued their ser
vice together for about thirty vowrs.
' lhl ac,mto nore. unlike 'in i their tastes and

frenly in the most exclusive social func

William It. I.aidlnw, who said he was
used as n shield by Kussell Sago when
Henry V. Norcross ot Boston dropped
a bomb tn the financier's office on De
cember , 1801. died on Monday at tho
Homo for Incurables, lS3d street and
Third avenue. While tho office was
wrecked and Norcross blown lo bits
Mr. Snge escaped practically unhurt
save for slight shock; but. Iildlaw re
ceived about inn wounds. He came
out of the hospital after several months,
but ever since lie had been more or lesh
of a cripple and his death was indirectly
due from the injuries he received.
Laidlaw was confidential clerk for
.lohn Bloodgood A Co, nnd happened
into tho Sage offices at 71 Broadway
on business just about the time that
Norcross presented to Mr. Sage a ram
bling letter in which he demunded Jl.MO,
ooo, with the Information that ho had
enough dynamite in a bag which he car
ried to blow up Mr. Sage and the build'
ing. Mr. Sage was parleying with Nor
cross when I.aldlaw, who was about 35
yearn old and athletic, came between them
and Norcrosa dropped tho bomb.
When laidlaw recovered sufficiently
after hospital treatment he began suit
for $.10,000 against Mr, Sago. His claim
for damages was based on the assertion
that when Mr. Sago saw him he greeted
him effusively, something he had never
dono before, shook hands with him and
dragged him in so that he nctednsn shield.
Tho trial of tho suit that followed in
terested tho town for months, doseph
11, I'hoato nnd Noah Davis appeared ror
Laidlaw. .lohn K. Dillon and K. C, .lames
reprewnted Sage. The trial attracted
largo crowds and ono day Mr. Choato
suggested that tho court charge admis
sion. Mr. Sage insisted that he had not
touched I .a Id law and that it was merely
an accident that Laidlaw came between
him and the bomb thrower. Once Mr.
Sago said ho could not hear a ciuestlou
asked by Mr. Choate. "Which is your
best ear to-duy?" asked Mr. Choate.
And again, when Mr. Sago's voice dropped
to a whisper: "Speak up, Mr. Sage. Just
imaglno that you nro on tho Stock Kx
chatige selling Western Union on a rising
market." He also got Mr. Sago to admit
that he paid 3 lor his trousers and that
they were "Plymouth Hock pants."
Tho Hiilt was tried five times and each
time Uiidlaw got a verdict ranging from
2n,ooo to ItO.ono and each time tho higher
courts roversecl It. Tho last appeal
Mr. Choato let go by default. Il cost
Sago moro than WO.OOO to defend tho
suits. Laidlaw's lawyers aro sold to
have volunteered their services. It was
the contention of Mr. Sage, it was said,
that If he owed a debt of gratitude to
I.aidlaw It was wiped out when Uildlaw
sued him.
