James Lawrence Pugh. former United
States Senator from Alabama, and for
many years a prominent resident of this
city. died last night at his residence, 1888
r street northwest from pneumonia, com
bined with the weakness Of old age. He
was taken sick about six weeks ago. and
for d time seemed TO be rapidly recover
ing from the attack until a few days ago,
when a turn for the worse was noticed,
which resulted in his death. He began
sinking at 10 o'clock last night. and an
hour later the end came The members
Of his family were gathered about his
bedside as it was thought by the physi-
clans that he had but a short time to live
He was born in Burke County, Ga, in
1920, of a well known Southern family
and during his seventy-seven years he
has until recently taken an active par-
in public life. When a small child his
parents removed TO Alabama, where he
was reared. After receiving "a common
and high school education. he studied law
in the Office Of a friend Of his fathers and
at the age Of twenty-one was admitted TO
the Alabama bar, before which he began
up his residence, he married Miss Hunter,
daughter Of a prominent SoutherneT, in
1876. Shortly after this he was elected
as a Presidential elector from Alabama,
and it was at this point in his career that
he began to assume a foremost position
as a lawyer.
Elected 10 Congress.
Twice afterward. in 1856. and again in
1875. he was called on TO vote for the
people in the Presidential campaign. and
in 1859 he was elected to Congress by a
vast majority, and practically without
opposition. AT the commencement Of the
civil war he resigned his seat in the
United States House Of Representatives
10 take a corresponding position in the
Confederate Congress, in which connec-
ton he served until near the close of
the war. Toward the end OF hostilities
he enlisted as a private in the Eufaula
Rifles, and it is this evidence Of courage
and love for the COnfederacy that his
friends are most proud
When peace was declared he retired to
the practice Of law, in which he had few
superiors in the South. He was called
out of retirement, however. by the Demo
cratic party in 1874. when he was elected
president of the Democratic State con-
veutiOn in Alabama, and, in 1919. when
ne was made a member of the cOnsJitu-
tioHal convention.
Becomes senator.
Five years later ne was elected to the
United States Senate as Democrat to
fill out the unexpired term of George s.
Houston He was reelected in 1854 and
IN 1850, and retired after the expiration Of
his term in 1886. Since that time he has
made his residence in this city.
Six children survive him: Edward l..

WATER BOARD IN PERIL
Commissioners Must Face Charges
for Rejecting Peirce Bid.

Tho atmospheric pressure in and around the
Mayors office indicates coming hurricane for the
Commissioners of the Board OF Water Supply
There is no doubt in the minds OF the Mayors con-
fidants that. following the inquiry by the Commits
sioners of Accounts with reference the award Of
the Ashokan Dam contract formal charges will be
preferred against the commissioners, and that the
Mayor will ask them 10 resign.
The commissioners. after advertising for bids
awarded the dam contract August IS 70 Mac

about s12 800 900, about 81. 1850 900 than the
John Pierce Company willing to do tho work
for. The award made about two weeks before
the Mayors return from his vacation. Assuming
that nothing wrong about the letting OF the
contract it is said that the hoard committed act
OF indscreton in not waiting until the return of
the Mayor and Controller before letting the
tract. II is said that the Mayor has been cold
toward the commission for some time because
they have trusted 10 their Judgment and pro-
ceeded independently without much regard for the
administration or its politics and that he will be
glad OF excuse to remove them.
The commissioners. conscious Of their good
motives and with the ordinary degree of pride OF
opinion, probably will refuse resign. They are
in position TO assert that they have acted wholly
within their prerogatives expressed and implied,
and that to resign would be admission OF wrong
doing
