DEATH OF VOORHEES,.

The Noted Indiana Senator Passes Away
at His Washington Residence.
WASHINGTON, April 10. Daniel Vol.
sey Voorhees,, ex-United States senator
from the state of Indiana, died at 5
o'clock a. M, at his home in this city,
los Maryland avenue northeast.
The senator had been in poor health
for several years, and for at least two
years past had taken little part in the
proceedings in the senate. He had
been a constant sufferer from rheuma-
tism Of the heart, and his friends
therefore had come to expect that they
might hear of his death suddenly. The
last reports of him, however, were
that he was showing some improve.
lnent, and his death, therefore, while
not entirely unexpected, came with
the suddenness of shock.
At the time of his retirement from
the senate, the Tall Sycamore of the
Wabash, as he was affectionately called
by his devoted followers in the Hoosier
state, was the ranking Democrat on the
finance committee and by virtue Of his
position the nominal leader at least of
his party on the floor of the senate on
tariff and financial questions. He was
not very active however, owing to his
i'll health, in the work on the Wilson
tariff bill, most of the numerous senate
amendments to this bill and it's final
passage of stormy career, in which it
was in serious danger several times,

''The incursion into Turkish terri.
tory by several rebel bands of armed
Greeks was wholly unauthorized by
me and absolutely against my policy
and my instructions from the king.
Their attack upon the Moslems will by
no means be used as an excuse to begin
war, and shall do my utmost to pre-.
vent repetition of such a violation
of the neutrality laws The Turkish
position captured by these rebels will
not be occupied by the Greek army
nor will we aid the invaders in any
way'
