L1fe-His Death Shock to Ihe odr
 and the Community at Large.
 Judge Jacob Bertram Ullman, junior i judge of the court of common pleas, died at 4:3O yesterday morning, after an illness of about a week. Death was due to heart failure, induced by an at- | tack of typhoid fever, from which he had been suffering since a week ago last Saturday. While serious, his con dition was not considered especially alarming, and his death came as a great shock both to his family, the members of the county bar, and his numerous friends throughout the city.
 Judge Ullman was very popular with all who knew him, and his sudden de- mise was the general topic about the center of the city, and cast a gloom over the, courts in which he sat.
 Judge Ullman was not yet thirty-six years old but had held many places of trust in this city He was member of the board of education and had been assistant corporation counsel, and on April 1, 1905, took his place as common pleas judge, being commissioned by Governor Roberts,
 Nine years ago he was married to Miss Mollie Steinert, daughter of Nor ris Steinert, He leaves two children, Caroline M. Ullman, six years old, and Morris Steinert Ullman, two years old. The death of Judge Ullman has nearly prostrated Mrs Ullman, and his broth CTS, Colonel Isaac M. Ullman, Police Commissioner Louis M Ullman and Joseph Ullman His only sister Mrs, Fannie Mayer, wife of Murry Mayer, has been notified at her Chicago home,

It was stated by some of his ass0ei- ates in the court yesterday morning that the illness which resulted in his death was probably due to his unceas- ing attention to his court duties and oyerwork. Since his appointment Judge Ullman was an indefatigable worker and never allowed cases to drag in his court.
