Well KnoMi People Who Have Been
i Called Away.
Franklin L. Peck, aged 38 years,
dUd last night at The Elton, after a
short illness with pneumonia. He
was at the auto show In New York
and returned last Monday almost too
weak to tell what was the matter
with him. Medical attendance was
provided and his wife, who was vis
iting In Philadelphia, was apprised
of the seriousness of the situation
and hastened homeward. It was
thought that be was on the mend,
but last night he took a sudden
change and passed away. Mr Peck
was one of the best known men in
Waterbury, and as few knew that he
was ill, his death was a great sur
prise. He was a son of the late Mr
and Mrs Asa Peck and was born on
West Clay street. He inherited a
large estate from his parents and
was planning to build a country resi
dence on his newly acquired proper
ty on the Meriden road. : Besides his
wife he leaves .an uncle
and aunt Horace , Peck of
Cheshire and Mrs H. A. Matthews
of Southbury, whose husband was a
former mayor of Waterbury. u Mr
Peck was worth about $100,000, and
as he left no will it is likely that ac
cording to law one-half of this and
S2,0uu will go to his wife and the
balance In equal proportions to his
uncle and aunt. The body was re
moved to the residence of his wife's
mother, Mrs Lot, on Maple street,
from where the funeral will be held
Monday afternoon.
Mrs Mary A. Reed, wife of John
W. Reed, died this morning at her
home, 62 Cherry street, after a very
brief . Illness with pneumonia. Her
husband keeps a grocery store near
by, and. Mrs Reed was helping out at
the counter yesterday for a while.
She complained some of a cold, but
nothing was thought of it until along
towards evening, when It was decided
to call In a physician, but all his ef
forts proved of no avail. Mrs Reed,
whose maiden name was Mary A.
Henzle, was born in Great Barring
ton, Mass, but removed here with
the rest of the family when she was
but a couple of years old, and had
lived here ever since. She was edu
cated at the convent of Notre Dame
and had a wide circle of relatives
and friends who will be shocked to
hear of her death. Besides her hus
band she leaves one daughter, Ger
trude, and two brothers, Martin and
..ohn Henzle. The funeral will take
place to the Immaculate Conception
church Monday" morning at 8:30
o'clock. The burial will be in St
Joseph's cemetery.

GOVERNOR RESIGNS.
Foreign Office Said to Bold
Swettenham's Resignation.
"PERSONA "HOI GRATA" AT KINGSTON
Londoa Advices Bar That There It
Is Held Impossible Far Jamaican '
Rnier te Remain at Post
After Davis Incident.
1 LONDON, Jan. ?8. An unofficial re
port here says that the expressions of
regret made by Foreign Secretary
Grey and War Secretary Haldane to
the United . States government with
reference to the Swettenhara-Davls in-
; cident at Kingston have been supple
mented by a letter to a similar gffect
from Governor Swettenham himself,
who hus Indicated his willingness to
retire from his post
i The colonial office would not confirm
or deny the report that the governor
? has offered his resignation, but there
is good reason to believe that be has
placed his resignation In the hands of
the colonial office officials.
, It has been fully expected here that
a solution of the difficulty would be
found in Swettenham's resignation,
and the reply to inquiries received at
the colonial office tended to confirm the
report that the governor had intimated
his willingnes to retire from his post
It has been freely stated In the colo
nial and other government offices that
it was quite Impossible for Swetten
ham to continue in office, not only be
cause of the incident Involving the
withdrawal of the American Warships
from Kingston, but also on account of
the protests against - bis conduct and
retention of the governorship received
from the Inhabitants of Kingston. -
Kingston . advices say it has been
proved that the landing of the Amer
ican marines at the time of the earth
quake and every -move made by Ad
miral Davis was with the knowledge,
consent and at the request of either
Governor Swettenham or his Immedi
ate subordinates. The proof has been
furnished by William H. Orrett, the
American vice consul there.
Mr. Orrett declared that Governor
Swettenham accompanied a hundred
of the Indiana's sailors to the prison,
where be had eight of the convicts
flogged for mutiny.
