PHILIP D, ARMOUR
DIES in CHICAGO

Chicago. Jan. Phillip Danforth
-philanthrOpist financier 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 8
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: Il know | 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 the 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 a little later.

Coiorado's Representation

Washington, d. c., Jan. BIN the
House yesterday, Mr.. Hopkins called
up the reapportionment bill. and
opened the debate in careful ex-
pianatiOn of his bill. He stated that
the majority of the census committee
favored keeping the membership down
to the present number. 357. from the
considera tons Of economy and intel
ligent legislation.
Mr.. ShafrOth of Colorado wanted Mr..
Hopkins to explain how it was that
Colorado would gain one representa-
tive under the system adopted. if the
total number was 35S. but would not if
il was 357.
Mr.. Hopkins replied that the fact
which Mr.. Shafroth cited was what
was called years ago the alabama
paradox" Any system. he said. would
not deal out exact justice to every
state. The membership was arbtrari-
ly fixed at 357. which made the basis
of representation 2OS.S6S. Dividing
the population of the states by this di-
vision, 335 members were assigned

jor fractions.
bill. he said, were those which lose
representatives under its operation. He
said the bill of the minority showed
favOritism to Nebraska and Maine,
each of which would lose one repre-
sentative under the basis of the fig
ures prepared by the director of the
census for Il House of 1856 members.
Those two members. he said. were de-
liberately tilched by the Burcgh bill
from New York and Pennsylvania. He
declared that more unfair bill was
never presented to the House than that
fathered by Mr.. Burleigh.
The Burleigh bill. he said. gave
Maine a representative for each 49,
GIT inhabitants. If this ratio were
taken in New York, Pennsylvania and
Illinois, New York would have five,
Pennsylvania three and Illinois three
more representatives than the bill al.
lows them.
Mr.. Shafroth followed. citing the
case of Colorado. which would get an
additional member if the House was to
consist of 356 to 1858. but would lose
the additional member at 357 to show
that the system upon which the bill
was predicated was unjust.

successful mendicants Of the day She
begged persistently at church DOORS

gifts from charitably- disposed per-

the combinations of materials satisfy
every desire for novelty. Velvet is
decidedly the vogue for gowns, coats,
separate skirts and shrltwaists, and
yelyeteen and corduroy yield almost as
graceful results. Little decoration is
