sioner Succumbs to Heart Dis
ease Early This Morning

known mwi in Harrisburs; and a mem
ber of the flrst Railroad Commission
uf Pennsylvania, died suddenly shortly
before 4 o'clock this morning at lu3
city residence, U'4 Pine street. He
was in his fifty-second year. Heart
trouble was the cause of his death.
Surviving Mr. Boyd are his wife and
lour children, James, now on his way
l'rom the Boyd estate's Southern coun
try place at Weymouth, N. C.; Jack
son Herr, a senior at Princeton Uni
versity; Miss Eleanor Gilmore, and

burg Cemetery.
While Mr. Boyd had not been in the
best of health for several months,
ids condition was not such as to cause
any alarm, and the news of his death
was a shock to many friends through
out the city. During the past week
Mr. Boyd had remained at home much
of the time and yesterday he did not
leave the house at all. He retired in
excellent spirits about 10 o'clock last
evening following a cheerful chat with
Mrs. Boyd. '
About 4 o'clock ilrs. Boyd awoke
and listened in vain for the heavv
breathing of her husband. Thinking
he might be lying awake, she went to
investigate. Mr. Boyd lay much as
if he were still sound asleep. He had
evidently died as he slumbered.

Boyd and Louisa Yeomans Boyd. He
was born in Danville, August 19, 186 2,

year. He prepared for college at the

URGES USE OF W

| Senator Fall Attacks Administra
tion's Policy Regarding Care
of Foreigners
By Associated Press
Washington. D. C. March 9. —Urg-
ing the use of the army and navy ot
the United States for the protection of
Americans and other foreigners in
Mexico, which, he said, would prevent
! war. Senator Fail, Republican, of New
Mexico, addressed the Senate to-day
and gave a 1 ist of sixty-three outrages
upon Americans, including murder and
rape, concerning which the senator
said he had personal knowledge.
"With the solemn declaration that
we do not war upon the Mexican na
tion nor people," said Senator Fall,
that it is not our purpose to acquire
territory, upset their laws, nor over
turn their constitution, and an invita
tion to the masses of the Mexican
people to co-operate with us, w'e
should immediately direct the use of
the land and naval forces of this gov
ernment for the protection of our citi
zens and other foreigners in Mexico
and lend their assistance to the
restoration of order and maintenance
of peace In that unhappy country.
"T might cite authority after au
thority and pile precedent upon prece
dent as justification under inter
national law for such action, but I will
only read from the message of the
martyred McKinleJ" with only the sug
gestion that we insert the name •Mex
ico' in lieu of that of Cuba or Spain."
Mr. Fall read a portion of President
McKinley's famous war message and
then referred to President Wilson's
refusal last autumn to transmit in
formation relative to Mexico to the
Senate on the ground that it was in
compatible with the public interest.
"Abraham Lincoln thought it not
incompatible with the public interests
to fully inform the Senate concerning
| communications between this govern
| ment and that of France," said he.
"Urover Cleveland thought it not in
compatible with the public interests to
forward to this body all pupers and
correspondence concerning the arrest,
death, etc., of various Americans in
Cuba, as will be seen by reference to
his special messages."
Senator Kail declared the United
States had "politically intervened" in
Mexico ever since John Lind was sent
with an ultimatum to Huerta and fur
ther declared the United States owed
a duty to Its own citizens and to Spain
England, France and Germany, whose
citizens had been murdered or out
raged.

This is an important message
to you.
When quality is lowered or
prices raised you are expected to
I pay the bills.
But to a certain extent the
remedy is in your hands. You do
1 not have to accept an Inferior
brand of goods or to pay more
thnn a fair market price for
; your retailer carries advertised
* goods and these are "right" in
quality and price. If they were
| not right. It would not pay con
, tlnually to ndverti.se them. Ad
vertised goods are dependable.
See that you got them —and thus
I protect yourself!
Knowledge Is power. Keep
posted as to what Is being offer
ed and as to what the prices are.
The advertising in this news
paper Is at your service every
day In the year. It is written
to you and for you.

interest to your pocketbook.

you and brings the town's show
windows to your feet.

else get the unadvertlsed in
ferior or over-priced goods and
thus pay the penalty for not
"keeping informed."
