AGED REFORMER DEAD
Pioneer Legislator Expires in illinois
of Old Age

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-Former Federal
District Judge Henry w. Blodgett died
today of old age at his home in
Waukegan, ILL.,, aged "a years. He
was closely identified with the build
ing of the first railway line between
Chicago and Milwaukee. He was a
member of the sanitary commission
during the civil war.
While a member Of the Illinois leg
islature Judge Blodgett originated and
put through a bill giving married wo-
men control of their separate property.
1t was the pioneer legislation of that
kind anywhere in the United States
and has since universally been adopted
in almost every state in the union.
In 1882 Judge Blodgett resigned from
the bench to accept an appointment by
President Harrison as one of the coun-
sci for the United States in the
Bering sea arbitration.

ing one point behind. The sopho-
mores succeeded in getting six of the

and neck but Clifton finally forged to
the front and won the race.
Comstock won the pole vault by
clearing the cross piece at feet 6
inches, Montgomery second and Len
nox third.
