PHILIP d. ARMOUR
DIES In CHICAGO

Chicago, Jan. Phillip Danforth
ur-philanthropist, tinancier and
multi-millionaire, head of the vast COM
mericial establishment that bears his
name-died at his home, 2115 Prairie
avenue, at 5:45 last evening. A muscu-
lar affection of the heart, known as
myocardis, was the immediate cause of
his death. He had been slowly recov-
ering from pneumonia that for three
weeks had threatened his life. AT .
o'clock yesterday morning his heart
gave way under the strain of his re-
cent illness, his pulse running up to
1O3. That was the beginning of the
end.
Mr. Armour was surrounded by his
family when he died. Those at his bed
side. besides his physicians and nurses,
were his wife, Mrs. Philip d. Armour,
Jr., and Mr.. and Mrs. J. Ogden Armour
and Rev. Frank w. Gunsaulus. The
millionaire retained consciousness until
within an hour of his death.
During the day he had realized that
death was near. To those around him
he had said: II know l am very sick,
and am ready for death when ii
comes" Soon after luncheon, and just
before the physician forbade his talk
ing any more, Mr.. Armour, in feeble
tones said that he would like to hear
the Lords prayer read.
One of Che trained nurses who had
been attending him drew a chair to the
bedside and slowly read from the Bible
the prayer for which the dying man
had asked. 1t was read sentence by
sentence, and each was repeated by
Mr.. Armour. When the "Amen" had
been repeated by him he sank back
on the pillow and closed his eyes rest
fully. 1t was the last word the great
financier spoke except feeble farewells
to his family n little later.

Sa1ida Mail; Leo Vincent, of the Boul-
der Representative.
j. w. Work was elected to fill the
vacancy on the executive committee of
the National association occasioned by
the death of X. G. Cooper
Members of the legislative committee
were elected as follows: Howard Rus
sell, Il. N. Briggs, ]. S. Temple. II. H.
Lee. The president and secretary are
members ex officio.
The matter of resolutions on the
ing News, John d. Vaughn of Denver
and Stanley Stokes of Denver, was re-
ferred to the committee previously ap-
pointed in the case of X. G. Cooper.
An interesting general discussion was
held in regard to the legislation asked
for by the association. 1t was shown
that one measure alone, to clearly de-
fine the term legal advertising"
would be worth many thousands OF
dollars every year to the press of the
state. In fact, most of the legislation
asked for is not because the present
laws are so bad, but because they are
not sufficiently definite. giving unfair
and parsimonious officials an opportun-
ity to defraud publishers out of their
just dues and giving rise to vexatious
and uncertain litigation, the laws be-
ing construed differently by different
tribunals.
So highly important, in dollars and
cents. is this legislation regarded that
the legislative committee was instruct
ed to correspond with all the publish
ers in the state and ask their co-opera-
ton and assistance.
As the necessary printing and at
tendance at the meetings of the legis-
lative committees will involve consid-
erable expense, it was voted to assess
each paper represented in the associa-
ton the sum of five dollars, and also
to request a similar contribution from
other publishers throughout the state.
There was. n general expression
among the members present in favor
of n midsummer excursion, and two
alternative routes We're proposed; one
to the Buffalo exposition, Boston and
New York, and the other to the Yel-
lowstone National park On motion,
Corresponding Secretary w. L. Pabor
was authorized to arrange for such
excursion. in conjunction with the ex-
ecutive committee.
1t was arranged to publish the full
official report of the proceedings in
Drops of Ink.
On motion, Hon. g. S. Sprague, ex-
president of the association, and men,
Der of the Legislature from Ell Paso
county, was invited to address the
meeting. and did so. urging prompt ac-
ton in behalf of the legislation asked
for by the association.
AS 1t was felt that 1.-THE members
should reassemble during the present
legislative session, it was voted to take
n recess to meet again at date to be
fixed by the legislative and executive
committees.
Before adjournment. Mayor II. "
Johnson, of Denver. telephoned an in
vitation to the members of the associ-
alton to attend a reception then in
progress at the city hall, given by the
mayor in honor of Governor-elect Or
man. The invitation was duly accept
ed and most of the members went to
the hall and were introduced TO the
governor and mayor.

urday at the Columbian University,
when graduates from leading universi-
ties are expected to speak to an as
semblage to which all resident college
men are invited"
1t is stated by the intercollegiate
committee that the different college
clubs and societies are expected to
come as delegations. Their participa-
tion will be strictly non-partisan.
There will be no maximum or mini
mum size of each delegation. the only
requirement being that each body shall
be uniformed or decorated so as to- dis
play its college colors.
Freedom is given to introduce un-
ique features characteristic of college
life. Delegations. it is suggested,
should perfect themselves in marching
either by column, figures, or changing
their formation while in line of march.
One large banner should be carried in
front of each delegation. Cheering will
will be confined exclusively to the time
when the respective colleges are pass
ing the Presidents reviewing stand.
Each delegation will be permitted to
give only one cheer so as to prevent
an interruption to the cheer of the col
lege following. Horns or other instru-
ments for the purpose merely of max
ing a noise, will not be allowed in the
parade. 1t is requested, however. that
bands be brought from as many col
leges as possible. The local committee
will make arrangements necessary for
accommodation of institutions signify
ing purpose to be represented. The
railroads will give special rate to
college delegations.
