DEATH OF TH0s. G. SHEARmAN.

hAE.r-=riaE- 1919 e.--9rIrLr
Noted I.nwyer and Economist Dies
After an Operation.
New York, Oct. 3.-Thomas &.
Sherman, the we'll known attorney,
died suddenly at his residence in
Brooklyn Saturday night. Death fol-
lowed a surgical operation.
Mr.. Shearmnn was born in Birming-
ham, Eng, in 1884. and removed with
his parents to America in 1914, set
Ting in New York. He became u resi-
dent of Brooklyn. in 1887 and was adj
mitted to the bar in 1883. He later
formed a law partnership with David
Dudley Field, and the firm took a
leading place in New York city. His
originality in deyislng new and more
effective methods In litigation ut first
subjected him to much criticism, but
these methods were always copied by
the opposition counsel.
In 1874 Mr.. Shearman formed n
partnership with John w. Sterling,
and the firm enjoyed IN unusual de-
gree of prosperity. For than
two years, ut this time, Mr.. Shear
mans energies were devoted to a de-
tense Of his friend, the Rev. DIR. Henry
sWard Beecher, against Il cOMplnallon
of personal enemies, hostile journals,
and antagonistic ecclesiastical breth-
rem. The trial of one of these cases
In the civil courts occupied more than
six months, and the church councils
and conferences several months more.
Mr.. Shearman's arduous work was
well repaid; he saw his friend close
his life, reverenccd and beloved, and
knew that lie had had a large share
in bringing about these conditions:
Recently Mr.. Shearman had o n
fined his practice to consultation
work. He was an earnest abolitionist
and for q long time a protectionist
republican. He became a convert tG
the free trade theory, and worked
hard to bring about it's adoption by
the country. he also opposed all in.
direct taxation, being n of the lead
ing disciples of Henry George.

Lead, IS. D., Oct. 3.-From now on
the state central committee Of the fu-
sion party will send in a number of
noted speakers from the east, who
will cover thoroughly every city and

to make the month of October pref

The republican campaign commits
tee of the Hills has sent out to the
German voters an article attacking w.
r. Hearst for his attitude toward sill
yer. The pamphlet will not have the
desired effect. There is not another
man In the United States that stands
cndeared to the hearts of Lead
people than William II. Hearst, n son,
of George Hearst, who made the
Homestake mine what it is today.
Judge Moore, the candidate for con-
gress on the fusion ticket, has con-
Quoted n splendid campaign thus far.
He has made speeches il most of the.
Hills towns and has developed into a
forceful orator. Judge Moore is re-
spected by the laboring classes for the
reason that he has b%efriended them
against several corporations who have
attempted to reduce the scale of
wages. T.. ". Martin, the republican
candidate for congress, is not in the.
Hills and probably will not appear
very prominently us u campaigner
west of the Missouri river. The labor
unions of miners in Lawrence county
will stand strongly for Moore. Judge
Moore has been giving such good sat.
isfaction as judge OF the Eighth judi
cial circuit that he has been requested
to not resign his office until he really
has to, the requests coming in from
members of the bar from both politi.
cal parties.

It is understood that the plan con-

The allied commanders had decided,
