Postmaster General Howe Dead-A Brief l Sketch of His Career.
 WASHINGTON, March 25.-A dispatch was received from Kenosha, Wis, this afternoon | announcing the death in the sixty eighth year of his ags of Postmaster General Timothy l o. Howe from pneumonia. The sad news was conveyed to the President upon his re- turn from the Easter service at St. Johns church and he and Mr. Hatton held lengthy conference. The question of.a successor has | already been agitated and while the name of First Assistant Postmaster General Hatton is suggested, the knowing ones assert that he has attained as- high 8 position as he can and must step aside for someone else to bel Mir. Howe's successor. The deceased Cabinet officer left Washington on the Wednesday succeeding the adjournment of Congress expecting to be absent about ten days. He contracted se- were cold which eventuated in pneumonia Arrangements were made for draping the Postofice department building in Washing ton with mourning emblems and meeting of the employees will be held tomorrow to take suitable action. It is thought likely that the President will abandon for the pres ent at least his contemplated southern tour and devote his attention to rearranging his Cabinet Dispatches received by the Presi- dent and acting Postmaster General Hatton late last night were of cheering nature, but telegrams received this morning and to day were less hopeful, so to the President and few others who were in receipt of frequent tel egrams the news of his death was not entirely unexpected. What public officials may attend or how far the obsequies of his funeral may extend here is not known. The President, however, will to morrow issue an executive order announcing his death and di- recting the flags on the department and other public buildings to be placed at half mast and will probably order the departments closed on the day of Mir. Howe's funeral. Timothy O. Howe was born in Livermore, Andros- coggin county. Maine, on February ', 1916 He received an academical education at the Readfeld seminary, studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1889. He settled at Readfield and was elected to the legisla- ture of Maine in 1845.
