OMAHA, FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1923. >*• oIt."V\hl • TWO CENTS Tammany Spokesman Succumbs; Bourkc Cochran, New York Congressman and One of World's Greatest Orators, Dies Suddenly. . Was Victim of Apoplexy Washington, March 1.—Representa tive W. Bourke Cockran, democrat, of New’ York died suddenly today. Mr. Cockran, who celebrated his 69th birthday yesterday, became ill last right and died early today. He , was o nthe floor of the house last night and made a spirited speech In j opposition to the pending farm credits bill. Mr. Cockran's death, which occurred ; at 7:10 o'clock, came as an immediate lesult of a stroke of apoplexy, it was i said at his home. \ native of Ireland, educated In 0 Franco and the Untied States, and | active for many years in the legal ; profession and in politics, Mr. Cockran was one of the picturesque forces in American public life. He was an orator of the old school, endowed with a remarkable voice and with n delivery that long ago woo him a place among the most eloquent orators of the country. Wheel Horse of Tammany Hall. In politics Mr. Cockran was a wheel i horse of Tammany hall, whose battles ! he fought In New York and elsewhere J on many occasions. At the last demo cratic national convention at San j Francisco he made the speech nomi nating Governor A1 Smith for the j presidency, an oratorical effort which carried the convention into a pro longed demonstration savoring of old time "revival meeting” politics. Hb also addressed the convention in favor of a plank endorsing the manufacture of light wines and beer. In recent years iiu nan devoted much attention to the fight for Irish free dom. appearing before congressional committees and on the public plat form prior to organization of the,free state to plead for American recogni tion of the Irish republic. On these oe i isions his eloquence was at its best as he recounted from personal ob servation the privations of the poorer ■ Issa In Ireland from which he sprung. Breaks With Bryan. Mr. Cockran first was elected to the house of representatives for a term in 1887. He came back in 1S91 for two more terms, but in 1896 he declined to follow the free silver ban ner of William Jennings Bryan, broke with his national party organization j and left congress. He returned to tho party in 1900. when he campaigned for Mr. Brvan and in 1904 he was again elected to the house. This time he remained there for five years, at the end of which time he declined to become a candidate for re-election. In 1920, however, he again yielded to tho lure of the parliamentary give and take he loved so well, and v»as again elected to a seat in the house. He was re-elected last November. Not a Seeker After Honors. He had been especially active dur ing the present session of congress and had planned a trip to Kuropc this summer. Until a few days ago he apparently had been in perfect health. Although he liked to take part In debate, and had raised his voice in many recent discussions on the house floor, Mr. CockraTi was not a seeker aftfr committee honors.

Three men were on duty in the tire room and , some of the new watch had Jtist gone below for tool* to work on other parts of the destroyer, which was anchored alongside of the tender Black Hawk. The explosion siwang leak* In the I burners in the boiler room and con > siderable quantities of the Inflammable fluid flooded that compartment. T(fe cause of the blast still is undeter- . mined, but it is belieied a burner , became detached and adjoining burn ers* became ignited. The position of the bodies indicated that they had made determined ef forts to extinguish the flames. Only one man In the boiler room, adjoining the fire room, escaped. Hr was Fireman Carter, who had just started to lra\r. As he reached the iron grating over the boiler near the door he saw a spurt of flame from a broken burner.

The ft a son assigned for failure of the democrats to meet with the com mittee was that they feared to make public at this time the truth about state finances and complied with a re quest of Governor Bryan to delay the report as long as possible. It was charged here today that the governor desired to muster as many postal cards ns possible before the fact was revealed to the people of the state that the state finances were in better condition than in many years, and if the truth were printed at this time, it would tend to make persons stop, look and listen before they wrote to their legislators to back the Bryan executive council plan of government. Decline to Meet. Both Representative Bock and Sena tor Thlelen. democratic members of the committee, have been in confer ence with the governor the last few days, and following the conference, thpy declined to meet with the com mittee. A few postal cards from persons in the state saying they were in favor of a $9,000,000 cut in appropriations and cutting the number of employes 130 were received by members today. "The request sent hroai^,ist by the governor that any one desiring a $3,000,000 reduction in appropriations and cutting T30 employes off the pay roll should support him, is like a re vivalist who asks everyone who wants to go to heaven to stand up," Speak er Mathers said. "Of course, every one wants to make these reductions just as every one wants to go to heaven. Will Reduce Taxes. “Eevery one may rest assured the e will he a tax reduction, no matter what plan of government 1* decided upon.” While the failure of the democrats to meet at this-time with the com mittee w as under discussion. <D. Robinson, state treasurer, issued a statement toduy which shows that the oveidraft rf ih., general tod had been reduced $428,000 since January 1. The overdraft In his fund on March 1 was $449,000. "Everything indicates that by June 1 the overdraft will he wiped out and there will he money in the general fuptl," Robinson said. "The last few months have liecn poor mouths Lr collections because of litigation t.vTnlr up hank taxes and railroad taxes and because of these facts w ' Ivave Is-fn forced to pay gen oral fund expenses out of other funds. ’ Taxes Now Being raid. "Hnwaver. now that the real estate taxes have bent coming in. the rail roads have been ordered to pay 75 per cent of their taxes and hank taxes must point In following the recent do cision of the supreme court, we will in one r*t two months wipe out this defi cit.
