DEATH SUDDEN FOR
EX-SENATDR PLATT
Noted Republican Leader Dies
Within Hour of Last
Attack.
GIFTED WITH RARE SKILL
AS POLITICAL ORGANIZER
Prominent in New York State
Affairs and in National
Campaigns.
NEW YORK. March G. Thomas Col
lier Plutl, formerly United States sena
tor from New l'ork and for many years
a national figure Jn Kcpublieun politics,
died at !J:t5 o'clock this afternoon in
ihu upurtmcul of air. and Mrs. Gustavo
Abcle, on West iSlevcnth street, from
whom he had rented three rooms for
the last four yours. Airs. Abcle had
been his nurse.
Dr. Taul Autcrbridge, his physician,
said tonight that the came of death was
chronic and acute Drlglu's disease. The
body was removed tonight to the home
of Frank II. rialt, a son. and will be
taken on Tuesday lo Owcgo, N. ., tho
senator's birthplace, where It will be
buried. Funeral services will bu held
Wednesday In ihe Presbyterian church
In Owcgo.
The end was startlingly biuldon. An.
hour before the senator died, nis two
sons. Frank and Ed ward, with their fam
ilies, and ills widowed son. itarry, with
the lalter's daughter. Charlotte, and son.
'Sherman, had left the house ut'Lii their
usual Sunday visit. The senator said
at that time lhat he felt very weil and
thought he would read the Sunday pa
pers. At o o'clock he was luucii with
a fainting spell, and Dr. Autcrbridge
was hurriedly culled. Tho family was
notlllcd and returned In haste, air. Piatt
recovered from his Ural lapse, but sank
into unconsciousness again at 3:30 o'clock
and died fifteen minutes later. The rel
atives were all, at tho bedside.
Feeble for Year.
Only lasl Wednesday Senator Piatt was
at his ofiicc downtown. For several
years he had been in feblc health, and
latterly the use of his legs had almost
deserted him. but his condition until to
day was not looked upon as more- serious
than usual. Thursday at breakfast tho
senator had a momentary fainting spell,
but rallied quickly.
A year ago his feebleness was markedly
accentuated and bin life was despaired
of for a period, but with remarkable
vitality he recovered and went about
his business as usual.
Dr. Autcrbridge said tonight that the
vitality of his patient was truly unusual.
In spllo of his feebleness he tool; an
active interest In affairs and refused to
neglect' his business until tho dictates
of nature imposed a. rest, lie w;ts out
of bed at 7 o'clock every n.orning ami
always early at his office..
Outlived His Time.
Thomas Collier Plutt. the "easy boss"
of earlier and brighter days, was for
ninny years not only the Kcpubllcji
leader of his state, but a fcurc in na
tional politics, shoulder to shoulder with
men of such rank and reputation as the
late Matthew Stanley Quay or Ponnsyl
vanla. Both wrc men of exceptional intel
lectual attainments, and both turned
thorn, with signal success, to party or
ganization. Quay died still' a power;
Plait outlived his time and felt himself
iu late years out of touch with the mov
ing spirit of events.
In "Twenty Tears in Congress." James
G. Blaine described Piatt as a "business
man of great personal popularity. Me
has an aptitude for public affairs and is
a man of strong inlliienc.c in Ills state,
tic Is no debater, but has strong common
sense and quick judgment of men."
Yet with all his native Judgment, wide
experience and skill as an organizer. It
became the fate of Pla.t.1 ,to win re
in rmbrnnr.e more for his associations
with others limn for anything hu did of
his own initiative.
When He Was Center.
Twice in his life Platl was the mentor
of the national stage; once when he re
signed with Koscoe Conkllng from the
L'nltcd States senate and was Instantly
nicknamed "Me. Too." Piatt. :md once
when lie induced Theodore Koosevolt to
run for vice-president with McKlnlcy.
very much against Roosevelt's better
judgment in the fam of his reported
declarations that nothing would induce
him to accept the nomination
There could not bc a better instance
of Piatt's skill in persuasion and manipu
lation or of the Irony that mocked hii
ripest wisdom. MeKlnloy was shot
Roosevelt becamo president, and the day
of Plait's domination In the nlule lapsed
Into senility. Mis bodily strength de
clined rapidly, lie made a second mar
riage which ended in the courts, and he
was Mied by. Mae Wood, formerly
clerk iu government employ, for a di
vorce on the strength of a third mar
rlaue never proved to have taken place.
Tho episode with Conkling, which was
not exceeded In public excitement, say
the newspaper files of that day. by any
event in the civil war. was as follows:
The "Me, Too," Episode.
Plutt was elected to the senate in 1SSI
He and his colleague. Conkling. hecame
embroiled with Gnrlield Iu a bitter con
troversy about the appointment of "William-II.
Robertson to he collector of the
port of New York. The selection was
distasteful to the New York organization,
and both Piatt and Conkling refused lo
confirm U in the senate. Thereupon
President Gained withdrew other nomi
nations made at their instigation, among
them one. Stewart h. Woodford, to be
ITnlted States district attorney, and Lou
F. Payne, recently remembered as an
"accelerator of publlo opinion," to bo
l'nltcd Stales marshal.
Finding themselves In a hopeless dead
lock. Piatt and Conkling both reslgmd
Conkling was caught In the great bliz
zard of 1S88 and died of exposure. Phi
was supposed to be frozen out of poli
ties, but he turned his attention to
building Inllucnee In the southern Her
of New York counties, became state
leader again in 1S!M. and In 1807 was
elected a second time to the United
plates- senate, succeeding David Hcti-iu-U
Mill.
Piatt fell out with Governor Frank
rjlack. and lo defeat his renominatlon
put forward Theodore RoobovoU. a type
whose undeveloped possibilities he did
not justly estimate. It was Roosevelt's
rapid progress townrd popularity and
power that lulcr led Piatt to suggest him
for the vice-presidency, hoping that in
the quiet of that dignified office ho
might be forgotten.
Successful iu Business.
Piatt was born in Owogo, Tioga coun
ty. N. Y.. on July IF,, 1SI5:;. of Puritan
ancestry. Mo entered Yale college with
the class of lSlO, but left In tho middle
of lf.K lunlor year because of ill health.
Ills father wished him to study for the
ministry, but he never advanced further
In lhat direction than to sing In the
church choir.
A brief apprenticeship at literature was
succeeded by more congenial employment
In business. He prospered in Michigan
"in the lumber trade, returned to Owego
ami became president of the Tioga Na-'

Dctourcd Trains Ai'rivc.
The first two cast bound trains of the
Sou thorn Pacific dctourcd over the Ore
gon Short Line by way of Portland ar
rived iu Ogden early this morning, a
few hours after tho first westbound
train sent over the same route, contain
ing the private cars of the White Sore
baseball team of Chicago reached its
destination iu San Francisco. Passen
gers of the dctourcd trains say that the
damage to the Oregon Short Line iu
the northwest has been considerable
from the washouts which occurred al
most simultaneously with those on the
Southern Pacific in "Nevada. Traffic,
however, is being resumed on the Short
Line and within the next twenty-four
hours all the eleven trains between
Portland and Ogden aro expected to ar
rivo in this city.
At 8 o'clock this evening Southern
Pacific train No. 2 of February 25
reached Ogden. This train has changed
crews something less than eighteen
times since it was first sent out from
San FTancisco, and aflor reaching Bat
tle Mountaiu, Nov., finding that . the
damage from the floods prevented any
further progress, went back lo Cali
fornia to get another start ovnr the

over the Oregon Short .Line. . -
Betweeu 2 o 'clock and 7 n 'clock Mon
day morning all the delaved dctourcd

the Short Line. The damage to tho
Southern Pacific Railroad cumpauy's
Hue through Nevada is more especially
confined to a stretch of seventeen miles
between Palisade and Beowawe, whore
bridges have been washed out and com
pletely lost in the turbulent waters, and
the roadbed in some places entirely ob
literated. Operating Stiib Trains.
Stub trains now arc being operated
from Ogden over the Soul hern Pacific
for points in Nevada on tho east side
of Jlie Hooded district, and similar
trains are being run from tho western
terniiuus to the western edge of the
Humboldt valley for the convenience of
Nevada Iravolorf.
While there has beeu considerable
complaint by delayed passengers, who
demanded that they be giveu (tickets
to Nevada points by way of Portland
and San Francisco before the stub
trains wore put in operation, and com
plaints from delayed passengers bo
cause they were required by tho rail
road company to pay for their own
meals in the dining cars, the railroad
officials here say that everything pos
sible under the interstate commerce
law is being dono for the care and safe
