tive William Steel Holman of Indiana
died at his home here at 2:05 O'Clock
this afternoon after an illness of some
weeks from spinal meningitis. Up &c
yesterday he had been improving, bu,
then the fatal relapse came.
Mr.. Holman held the record for
service In the lower house Of Con,

sixteen Congresses.
Mr.. Holman was born in 1922 In
Dearborn county, Indiana. Mr.. Hol.
man spent thirty-two years I'm the
House, n period covered by the mos,
trying times in the nations history.
His value to the country in n non.
partisan sense, through his long career
in the single capacity of watch dog
OF the treasury" or collector" can be
computed only in the millions Of dol
lars actually saved the Taxpayers.
The late Thomas A. Hendricks said
that the great DIRECTORS" services
were worth S25, 900, 900 a year.
"f' iioihuuh WIS RcutTdlly Known us
the watchdog Of the treasury" He
was frequently chairman of the House
committee on appropriations, when he
held the purse strings of the govern.
,nent, and despite nee about ''cheese

nents, he was regarded by members OF
oil parties as a most worthy and val.
liable man.
Mr.. Holman was an indefatigable
worker, and IL is said that he knew
every figure in the appropriation bill
when a member Of Congress. At night
he took his work home with him, and
always conducted his correspondence
personally, having never fallen in the
way Of debating his letters or using o

the kind that believed his party was
right, no matter what the majority OF
his party thought about it,
II Is said that Mr.. Holman's 'Mr.
Speaker, l object" has been printed
oftener in the Congressional Record
than any other individual speech. He
was tall and spare in form, with a sui
low, withered face.
