Widow OF Minnesota's Former sena-
tor Expresses Her Gratitude 20
Newspapers. w
VI st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 1s.--Mrs. Anna
Agnew Davis, widow of Senator Da-
Wis. said Saturday that in the grief
and Excitement attending her bereave-
ment she had possibly omitted to
acknowledge formally her gratitude to
the public press. II should like she
said, ITO publish a formal card OF
thanks to the press. if some papers did
not look with disfavor upon such
cards But I must declare how in
debted am to all the hundreds, even
thousands of newspapers that have
displayed SO appreciative and kindly
sympathy with my husband and SO
considerate sympathy with me.
These sentiments the senator either
read or listened to as long as his mind
remained clear. They sustained and
comforted him in remarkable de-.
gree. And I am sure that nothing
could be more broad-spirited, just and
generous than the eulogies which these
newspapers published after his death.
although many OF the papers We're
politically opposed to his party. He
could scarcely have hoped for this rare
appreciation. It has touched me SO
that / wish to acknowledge my graf
itude on his behalf and my own.

IN reply to request from Minneapo-

section, which provides that appeals
shall be filed in the district where the
inspection was made. and a decision Of

Under this section he says it follows

The Constitution provides for appoint
