State Senator Thomas Francis Grady died this morning at his residence, 151 East Thirtieth street, after an illness of several months. His death occurred at 6:15 o'clock and at his bedside when the end came were his sister, Miss Margaret Grady; Dr.

He was operated upon a few days ago. He did not rally after the operation and yesterday when it was seen that death was near, he was taken to his home, he havlog expressed the wish.

If he were going to die, that he be taken to his residence. State Senator Thomas Francis Grady was born in New York City, November 211, 1853. He was educated at De La Salle irstltute and St. James Parochial School and later received the degree of A.M. from Manhattan College in 1880.

He clerked In the offices of Middlebrook Phillips, and of William C. Whitney. He was admitted to the bar in 1883. He was-flrst elected to the State Senate in 1882, having previously served three terms as a member of the Assembly 1n 1877-78-70. In 1883 he retired from the Senate but was again re-elected in 1885.

Appointed a police justice in 1801 he held that office until 1895 but In the fall of 1894 he was agajn sent to the State Senate and had served as a member of that body continuously since that time. Led Democratic Minority in Senate for Twenty-two Years. From 1889 until 1911 Senator Grady was the leader of the Democratic minority in the State Senate. When the Democratic party became dominant In the Senate In 1911 the loHdershlp was given to Senator Robert F. Wagner and Senator Grady did not participate in the party caucuses, though he supported the candidacy ol William F.

Sheehan for the United States Senate and voted with the party on all party measures and supported the nominations sent to the Senate by the Gov ernor. Senator Grady was a conspicuous figure In many of the National Democratic party conventions and was called on to speak for Tammany Hall at numerous State conventions since 1902. An orator of fine attainments, he was able at all times to compel the attention of his hearers and he earned the title of "The Sllver-Tongued" many years ago and has held it since. The deceased Senator has been In bad health for many weeks. He had not been able to attend any of the sessions of the present State Senate, in which he had served on numerous committees.

Senator Grady was at all tiniest nn active member of Tammany Hall and served In various official capacities In the councils of that organization. He had one romance. He was married In 1887 to Flo Irwin, the actress. The marriage of the prominent politician was a secret until it came out in an advertisement Inserted by his wife, which read To Those Whom It May Concern Be It known thnt, I am the lawful wife of Thomas F. Grady.

Mrs. Thomas F. Grady, belter known as Florence Irwin, September 6, 1387, 170 West Twenty-fifth street. In 1902 Grady divorced her. ONE DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY.

(Special to The Eagle.) Albany, February 3 Soon after receiving the news of the death of Senator Grady, Lieutenant Governor Thomas Conway received a letter from the daughter of Senator William Fierow, a Democratic Senator from Catskill, stating that her father was very ill. According to the physician attending him, she wrote, the Senator would never be able to take his seat in the Senate Chamber in Albany again. He is suffering from dropsy and a complication of other ills, and probably will not live long. Senator Grady's death and the enforced absence of Senator Fierow reduces the Democratic majority In the Senate to one vote. The absence of any one Democratic Senator during the rest of the session will render the Democrats powerless.

Senator Duhamel, the Independence League from Brooklyn, may help out Leader Wagner and the rest of the Dem ocrats on occasions, but his adhesion to the majority always has been uncertain. This situation makes the combination of the four Brooklyn Democratic insur gents, composed of Senator Loring -M. Black, Barth Cronin, Felix Sanner and James H. O'Brien, the most powerful combination in years. They can prevent any legislation of a partisan nature from being passed this year.

When the Demo cratic Senators took their seats last year they had 29 votes. The Republicans had 21 and the Independence League 1. Now the Democrats have only 27 votes. The Democratic state leaders realize the gravity of the situation and Wagner, as the Tammany leader, already has given considerable recognition to the Insurgents. This situation has created the agreement by which Tammany members are bound to respect the wishes of the Brooklyn Senators regarding the confirmation of a Public Service Commissioner.

If the Brooklyn insurgents refuse to approve the selection of Governor Dix. all the other Democratic Senators will have to stand by Brooklyn men on pain of antagonizing the unti-MoCooey combination ani thus losing any chance to put t'noili Tammany's favorite measures later in the year. Leader Says Sentiment Here Does Not Favor Colonel. Michael J. Dady, leader of the First Assembly District, said today that he saw no indications among the Republicans of Kings County of a spirit favoring the nomination of Colonel Roscvelt.

"I am an admirer of Roosevelt myself," he said, "but I do not think he Is a candidate. In talking with a hundred prominent Republicans within the last few days I have asked them their opinion, and there were only three or four who were for Roosevelt. "1 asked these their reasons for urging Roosevelt as a candidate, and they replied that he appealed to the working classes strongly. "The best evidence I have that Roosevelt is not a candidate 1b that he has not appealed to any of his former supporters and friends, nor has he given them any Intimation that he wants the nomination. "The only conditions under which can see a possible chance of his being nominated is that something might happen disqualifying Taft, in which ease, if there was a spontaneous demand on the part of the convention for Roosevelt as a candidate, I think he would accept.

Otherwise 1 do not consider him a Presidential possibility. "There may be, as the press seems to indicate, a heavy popular demand for him throughout the West, but I see no evidence of such a movement In Kings County." KINDRED PUTS BLAME ON THE CLERICALL STAFF Supposes Mistake Was Made in Sending Sanitarium Advertisement Under Frank. HE IS SO SENSITIVE, And Story That He Has Violated Privileges as Congressman Annoys Him. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth'street. Washington, February 3 Representative J.

J. Kindred of Astoria, L. when asked if it was true that he has violated the franking privilege of a member of Congress by mailing, together with a speech he delivered In the House, pamphlet advertising River Crest Sanitarium, kept at Rivercrest, Astoria, by Dr. J. J.

Kindred, showed considerable annoyance. "What rot," he remarked, "as If I were not able to pay for $4 or $5 worth of stamps. Why, It Is so Billy. I suppose the report is true and that one of my secretaries Is responsible. I gave instructions- that -the- documents be sent out separately, but I suppose a mistake was made.

"What if It was? I Just went Into Speaker Clark's office and asked him if he thought I would do anything llko that Intentionally. He replied. 'Pooh, pooh, forget And I am going to do so. Mr. Kindred hesitated for a few seconds before resuming.

"I'm so dreadfully sensitive," he said "that I dislike to have anything like this occur, even If It wasn't my fault. Be sides I'm a regular physician and the ethics of the profession are very strict. But suppose this Incident did occur it cortalnly is of very minor importance. "I have heard of Congressmen sending cows and furniture through the malls Besides it nan been reported that I am very rich, worth $1,000,000 or more, much of which I made in real estate and I could send envelopes with stamps on them to the entire medical fraternity if I felt like it. But I am sensitive and things like this annoy me even If it wasn't my fault." According to friends of Dr.

Kindred there is an erroneous opinion among many seeretaries to Congressman that If a public document Is enclosed, any other kind of mall matter may be sent out under the Government frank. The attention of the Postoffice Department has not been called to the alleged violation of the franking privilege by Representative Kindred. A morning paper published tho article which called forth the foregoing statement of Congressman Kindred. It appears that franked envelopes have been Bent to persons on Long Island containing a short Congressional speech by "John J. Kindred" and a longer speech by "Dr.

J. J. Kindred." beforo the Electro-Therapeutic Association In Philadelphia. The speech before the doctors had no connection with Congressional matters and was in effect an advertisement for the Rivercrest Sanitarium at. Astoria, which is conducted by Dr.

J. J. Kindred. At the Sanitarium it was stated that the Congressman and the Doctor were one and the same person. It Is said also that the envelopes sent out had directions for return to Dr.

There had been an engagement since last summer, after an acquaintance of several years, but the wedding was not definitely planned until the bridegroom received notice of the removal of his company to the Canadian city, less than ton days ago. He then had a consultation with his fiancee, and the wedding was decided upon forthwith. "If you are going to Canada I want to go, too," the bride is reported to have said. The summer homo of the Dickie family Is at Sea Cliff, and the two had been acquainted since childhood.

The wedding Itself was quiet, but the reception last evening at the home of the bridegroom was more of an affair. There was special entertainment by William G. Sorlle and his son, who played the bag pipes and danced sword dances and the Highland fling on the parlor floor of the Hooper street bouse. George Beagley played the piano. Young Mr.

Three negroes, shortly after midnight this morning, threw a stone through the show window of the Strong Clothing Company's store, at 51 Fiatbush avenue, stole a fur-lined overcoat, a suit of clothes and many neckties, and escaped.

So that tho crash of glass would not arouse attention the negroes waited until an elevated train was passing and then hurled the missile at the plate-glass win dow. Just as they were pulling clothing off the dummies in the window a surface car passed and the motorman saw and yelled at the thieves. The three gathered up what they had already pulled from the window and ran. One of the negroes put on the fur coat. another slipped on the coat and vest of the suit while the third carried off the neckties.

The motorman notified the police. About $75 worth of goods were stolen. WILL FIGHT NEW FRANCHISE. Some Atlantic Avenue Property Own ers Up in Arms. Although tho Nassau Electric Railroad Company in Its application for a franchise for a trolley line on Atlantic ave nue states that consents have been obtained from the owners of a majority of the abutting property, there are a number who will endeavor to prevent the granting of the franchise.

"My clients have given me Instructions to fight any such application to the bitter end," said Robert Stewart, lawyer and Independence Leaguer, today. "They are the owners of the property where the Long Island Railroad line emerges to the surface at Bedford avenue, and they have given ine assurances that they will never, consent to any trolley tracks In front of their buildings. "As their representative I successfully fought the application of the Long Island Railroad Company for the appointment of commissioners to condemn the necessary part of the si lewalk. aud are ready to do It again. That tase was decided In I our favor by the Court of Appeals in 1907.

"In ormr to get tho trolley line past the places where the present lit- id line chrnges from a subway to an elevated and vice versa, the trolley tracks wlil have to curve out across the curb line on sides of the open cut, thnt is In the middle of the avenue, and that Is what we object to.

PAID PROMPTLY WHEN ALIVE. One Claim Was to Have Been Paid Fifteen Minutes After Time of Hi3 Death. Mrs. Emma Goebel of 1854 Fulton street has sought the aid of William M. Moore, an attorney, of 346 Fulton Btreet, In an effort to get back money which, she says, she gave to the late Samuel Hamlin of 1317 Herkimer street, to Invest for her.

Mr, Hamlin was found dead on a couch In his dinlngroom on December 27. A physician who was called in said that the cause of death was hemorrhage of the brain. According to Mrs. Goebel and other women who are clients of Mr. Moore, Hamlin, who was a Republican district captain of the Twenty-third Assembly District, carried on a private banking business.

Women of small means intrusted their savings with him, giving him from 50 cents to $2 a week for Investment. They were paid back at the end of a year if they asked for their money, but they declare that they got no receipts, passbooks or anything to show that the money had been paid to Hamlin. He made payments promptly just before he died. Mrs. Goebel thought the private banking business was a very good scheme and through her Miss Lillian Scheer and Miss Emma Hllzinger of the same address also became interested.

They Invested money in small weekly installments. So did Miss Hentz of 66 Sutter avenue, and Mrs. Catherine Connelly of 1698 East Forty-ninth street, Fiatbush, according to Mr. Moore. All these women are now clients of his.

Died Fifteen Minutes Before Payment Was to Be Made. On the Saturday before Mr. Hamlin died Mr. Goebel thought it necessary, he explained last night, to see Hamlin about tho delay In paying Mrs. Goebel her money.

Hamlin told him that the money was perfectly safe and that It would bo paid the following Tuesday at 7:30 o'clock In the evening. "That was the day he died," said Mr. Goebel. "At 7:15 he was dead." After Mr. Hamlin's death Mrs.

Goebel renewed her demands for the money. She taw Samuel A. Pease of 4 Court square, the attorney for the Hamlin estate, and he received a letter on the letter-head his office, signed with his name, 'n tfhlch it was stated that there was "No Money or property applicable to the payment of the late Mr. Hamlin's debts." "I understand," said Lawyer Moore today, "that more than a hundred women-working women gave money Into Mr. Hamlin's hands.

Mrs. Goebel tried to get some satisfactory etatement from Mr. Hamlin before hiB death, but be was always busy, she was told. "The women contributed from $1 to 'i week. There was no rate of Interest promised.

I was led to understand that Mr. Hamlin had an account In the Williamsburg Savings Bank but I Inquired about that and received word from the bank that there was no account there under that name. I was also led to understand that he left some real estate, but I haven't succeeded in finding yet that he had any." Xeft No Money or Property to Pay His Debts. The letter Mrs. Goebel received, signed with the name of Mr.

Pease, the lawyer, read as follows: January 18. Mrs. Kmma Goebel, Fulton Struct. Dear Madam Agreeubly to the promise I made you during our interview the other day, I now write to Hay that since you were here I have had two interviews with the relatives of the above-named decedent and am informed that an investigation of his papers and effects discloses that he left no money or properly applicable to the payment of his debts. They have an Idea not very definite, however that the decedent loaned a considerable sum of money to a man or woman whose name the decedent did not disclose to them.

They have been endeavoring to discover some paper or document among the decedent's effects which would fix responsibility on the alleged borrower and to ascertain the name and whereabouts of such borrower, but up to the present time have not succeeded. There Is therefore this remote possibility of getting In this borrowed money and of inak'ng partial payment on account of your Claim. Heyond this am assured that th? family of Mr. Hamlin expects in the course of time to satisfy the claims against his estate. 1 will write you again so soon as I have anything definite to relate concerning the efforts to accomplish this purpose.

Very truly yours, SAMUEL A. PEASE. Mrs. Goebel says she put in over $100. which she wants to get back, and the amount invented with Hamlin by all the women in the house where she lives was about $250, she asserts.

Mrs. Goe bel does not deny that Mr. Hamlin was prompt in his payments up to shortly before the time of his death. Son Says It Was a Fund of $300 or $400. George H.

Hamlin, son of tho late Samuel Hamlin, said at his home last night that his father had left no prop erty with which to settle the claims of Mrs. Goebel and those who are actln with her. The son himself was Iden tified about a year ago with a loan or ganization, and became involved with persons who had advanced money, ex pectlng to get large "dividends" In re turn. He says he was made the "goaf by one who ran away with the funds. "I don't think," said Mr.

Hamlin, "that my father had more than $300 or $400 In bis Keeping. it was not a loan society, but he maintained a fund out of which these women drew for Christmas presents each year. He has always been prompt In his payments up to this last year, and then he lent some money to a friend of his in trouble. We don't know who that man was. and my father left no papers of any kind, so that we could find out what he did with the money.

If there was any property left, and we were In a position to do no, we would settle the claims at once. "It is not so that there were 100 women who placed money in my father's hands. There were not more than fifteen." SERVIAN CABINET RESIGNS. Action Due to Conspiracy to Cause King's Abdication. Belgrade, Servia, February 3 The Servian Cabinet hits resigned.

The ministers took this step partly on account of the recent discovery of what is known as the "Black Hand" conspiracy in the army to force King Peter to dismiss the radical Cabinet or to abdicate in favor of the Crown Prince. Another reason given for the resignation Is that the support afforded by the Parliament to the Government has declined considerably.

BITTER ATTACK ON PAPERS. Philadelphia Banquet to Periodical Publishers a Tragedy to the Presidential Candidate's Hopes, Declares Mr. Seitz. (Special to The Eagle.) -Philadelphia, February 3 The chief topic of conversation today among the hundreds of newspaper and magazine men who are In Philadelphia, is the exhibition of Senator La Follette at the Periodical Publishers dinner last night. Some persons charitably say he was not himself.

Everyone wondered that a man showing such lack of tact and judgment should be considered as a Presidential possibility. Over 600 of the best known magaziue editors and publishers and newspaper men from all parts of tho country wera guests of Cyrus K. Curtis, publisher of the Ladies Home Journal. The dinner was a most elaborate affair. Don C.

Seitz of Brooklyn, the business manager of the New York World, was toast-master. Governor Woodrow Wilson made an acceptable speech and Mayor Blankenburs received a great oration after his witty and businesslike talk. Senator La Follette was then introduced. After a few preliminaries he produced 60 pages of manuscript and said that he would not speak over 30 or 40 mlnutea. He read and spoke and repeated arguments tor two hours and ten minutes.

During this terrible ordeal he madu Insulting remarks to guests and conducted himself In a manner that brought forth bitter criticism. Half of the diners left the room while others remained out of deference to Curtis and also to hear Detective Burns' speech. The Senator, after criticising ererybodjr and everything, made imoBt bitter attack on the newspapersof' tfiVcountry, saying that the public no longer had confidence in the press which was controlled by corporations and advertisers. At tha same time he praised tho magazines as the one medium of expression of honest public opinion. When he sat down at 1:30 o'clock this morning.

Mr. Seitz told the story of the long-winded speaker who was opposing the Darwinian theory and said. "If we are monkeys where are our tails?" A man in the audience replied. "We have sat on them so long that we have worn them culte off." Mr. Seitz said that if time permitted he would deal with Senator La FolleWe but he could not let the moment pass without rebuking him for the wicked, untruthful and unjust attack which he had made on the newspapers of America, a large number of which were here represented.

This statement was received with great applause and then Mr. Burns won great favor by his brief and vigoroua speech." Today In an interview Mr. Snltz said: "As the banquet was given by the mag-aiino publishers and as I was a guest of Cyrus H. K. Curtis, president of the association, I had to be cautions In my remarks on Senator La Follette.

I don't recall exactly what I said when the Senator had finished, but I do remember declaring that he had made an unkind, unjust and wilfully malicious attack on tile newspapers of the nation, and if I had more time I would have said something stronger upon the subject. Dinner a Tragedy for La Follette'! Hopes, Says Seitz. "Last night's dinner, during which we thought we would 'Josh' the statesmen, ended in a calamity. It was a tragedy for Senator La Follette's hopes. He has simply wi)ied himself off the map.

"Undoubtedly he came to Philadelphia to make the address of his life, and when It developed Into an infamous slander of the newspapers and a wallowing, sycophantic praise of the magazinea, I realized that the man had overstepped his mark. "Previous to that time1, the Senator had talked for more than two hours and when he concluded I certainly rebukel him. In my mind the Senator, not knowing the relationship between the magazines and the newspapers, came to the dinner to attack the latter and to curry favor with the magazine publishers."
