When he retired, last night, he was
feeling, if anything, better than for
several days. During the night, how
ever, he seemed to lose all his energy
and this morning was unable to leave
his room. He gradually grew weaker
during the day and at $40 o'clock, this
evening" he suffered a sudden collapse,
in which he expired. The physician who
were attending Mr.. Palmer are at a

Mrs. Palmer and their two sons,
Honore and Potter Jr., were with Mr..

funeral. but in all probability he will be
ured in Chicago.
Potter Palmer was born in 1926 in
Potts Hollow, Albany county, N. Y. He
received Il common school education
and at the age of u engaged as clerk
in a store at Durham, n. Y, where he

Of Marshall Field & Co. The sharp
advance in the price of goods after the
beginning of the Civil War found the
firm prepared with large stock and
it reaped immense gains from every
advance.
Mr.. Palmer retired from mercantile
life in 1865 and so liberal had been his
policy. in meeting public requirements
during the war that the government
was indebted to him to the extent OF
$750,000. After disposing of his dry
goods interests, Mr.. Palmer invested
largely in Chicago real estate and be-

EXEMPT FROM SEIZURE.
Ruling at Portland on Liquor in Ex'
press Cos. Offices.

Portland, Me-, May A decision
of Recorder Whelden of the municipal
court. Saturday, struck the worst blow
inflicted at the enforcement OF the pro-
hibitory law since Sheriff Pearson
came into office, and established the
right of express companies to make
delivery of liquor consigned to parties
here. even if they know that it must
be intended for illegal sale in TINS
State.
April 49, Liquor Deputies Plummer
and Stackpole found 45 gallons OF liquor
in the delivery room of the American
Express Co. sent from Boston ana con-
signed to Diamond F." Portland. They
paid the freight bill, s2.45, and took
delivery, having been told that they
could do so if they pleased. They act
ually made a seizure of the liquor.
The hearing on the question of the
return or confiscation of the liquor was
of great interest, and steamship, eX-
press and railroad men were present.
Among them were Col. f. f. Boothby
of the Maine Central, j. +. Liscomb Of
the local steamship lines, and Col. II.
s. Osgood of the American Express.
Hon. F. w. Robinson appeared for the
codpany, and Scott Wilson, assistant
county attorney, for the State.
Judge Robinson did not deny that
the liquor was probably intended by
diamond F. for illegal sale, but the
name of Diamond F. was not given.
He took the ground that transit in the
case of an express company is different
from railroad transit that while an
express company may make delivery
at it's delivery rooms to any person
known to be the consignee, ii has the
right and it is it's duty if the goods are
not so delivered, to make delivery at
the residence or place of business of
the consignee.
THE express company is not to be
Judged by the test applied to railway
common carrier" said Judge Robinson.
ut has a duty to perform after the
arrival of the goods. The officers in
terrupted transit"
Mr. Wilson, for the State, argued
that transit was fully completed, and
that the officers We're in rightful pos
session of the goods. That they knew
that Diamond f" intended to sell the
liauor in violation of law. He denied
the right OF the express COI1pdny "
come in and claim the goods, on the
ground that transit had not been fin
ished. He further claimed that the
seizure was not made until after the
officers paid the freight bill.
Recorder Whelden made an order di-
recting Sheriff Pearson to return the
liquor to the company.
The effect of this decision will be to
retard from this time forward the work
of enforcing the law. 1t is now settled
that Boston cOnsignors may send liquor
here. marked as the liquor in this case

the consignee in Portland may, with
out revealing his identity except to the
express company, take delivery at the
office of the company, that, falling tc
do so. the company must make delivery
in the regular course of business, ans
that Sheriff Pearson and his deputies
cannot seize the goods until they have
beer actually delivered.
