fore Justice Jerome.

died from heart disease and broncho

Dr. Hamilton Williams, another coro-

thought the administration of chloro-

and talked with him. So far as the en-
gagement is concerned. you know that

ters for themselves. and tell their parents
afterward. AIy daughter is certainly old
enough TO know hef own mind You have
nay permission TO say that it is not true
that there Will be sny objection raised 10
the marriage.
admiral Hichborn did not care to go
into details as To his daughters wedding.
as the arrangements had not been COM
pleted. When mis- attention was called to
statements that he and Mrs. Hichborn
would go to New York to reside and that
his daughter had refused 10 accompany
them. he explained that he had made no
arrangement to live elsewhere than in
Washington.
Ne shall stay here until my son
Philip completes his studies, he said.
-and shall then 20 somewhere on the
seashore for the summer.
The Bichborns are known to their
friends as very devoted family Admit
raj Hichborn ara his wife have taken
