Ersie Hart was born in Bloomfield
township Nov. 10, 1888 and died at
Spencer, Iowa, May 30. 1905, aged
twenty-one years, 8 months and 20
days, after an illness of little over
two weeks. He had always made his
home with his parents here until the
last three years, since which time he
has been employed as operator by the
Chicago Milwaukee & st. Paul R'y
Co. THE officials speak in highest
terms of his gentlemanly and manly
character and strict adherence to
duty. In his home he ever had the
happiness and welfare of his parents
uppermost at heart. The body was ac-
companied home by delegation from
the Knights of Pythias and many
beautiful remembrances from Spirit

places, told more than words could
express how very highly he was
esteemed. His parents and brothers

) Work Only Finds More
Glaring Faults

The statute revision commission
will answer questions propounded by
members of the senate judiciary COM
mittee this afternoon.
1t is promised that the commission
will be closely interrogated regarding
the new material which it has substi-
tuted in its code for existing law. The
nature Of the questions will, it is said,
be almost in the line of an official in
vestigation of the entire scope of the
commissions work, and may take the
direction of an inquiry into the fnan-
cial feature of the task, and the rea-
sons for the failure to complete the
code in the required thirty days be-
fore the opening of the session of the
legislature.
The senate judiciary committee, it
is understood, will depart today from
its time -honored custom of making all
its meetings executive in their char
acter, and the meeting with the statute
revision commission will probably be
held in the senate chamber instead of
in one of the committee rooms.
Members of the house judiciary COM
mittee have expressed a desire to lis
ten to the explanations of the code
commission to the structures that have
been put upon its work. An informal
invitation has been extended to the
house judiciary committeeman, and it
is expected that nearly the entire MEM
bership of the house committee Will be
present and participate in the SEMI
judicial inquiry that is to be made.
Would Avoid Extra Session
There were renewals of the talk Of
postponing final consideration of the
code to a special or the next general
session of the legislature yesterday.
Republican leaders would not hear OF
an extra session, for. as one of the men
who are considered responsible for the
policies of the Republican party in the
state said last night, an extra session
would be regarded as a political blum
der Political expediency viii be con-
sidered.
The proposition to postpone final ac-
ton to the next regular session of the
legislature will give the minority only
the argument that the state must wait
an additional two years before having
the benest of the new code, and it is
pointed out that the state is doing fair

Mr.. Bernard r. Green, who has given at

Griscom was a republican. Thomas F. Bay

when the latter was appointed ambassador
to Great Britain at the beginning OF the sec

this capacity from May 1893, until Septem-

turning from London, he entered upon the
practice of law in New York city, and for q
time was deputy assistant city attorney.
At the outbreak of the war with Spain he
rendered his services to the government and
was appointed an assistant quartermaster

remarkable career for young man of thir-

well be proud of his accomplishments. He
is the son of c. O. Griscom, one of the
wealthiest and most prominent citizens of
Philadelphia and was born at Riverton, N.

the private schools of the United States,

Mr. Griscom has never been known as
politician. nor has he ever posed a re-
former. He has had a good deal of influ-
entail backing in his diplomatic ambitions,
but that does not detract from the fact that
he has shown himself to be possessed of
ability to an almost remarkable degree for
a man of his years.

A Good Foundation.

In fact this is the argument that is main
y used against the project for building up
the south side of Pennsylvania avenue with
public buildings. Although the museum
building is right on the borders of the old
canal. which was originally large stream
of water, still there was but little evidence
