REP. CUSHMAN DIES
FROM PNEUMONIA

NEW YORK, July s.-Francis W.
Cushman, representative in congress from
Tacoma, Wash, died at 5 o'clock this
morning at Roosevelt hospital, from pneu-
monia. At the bedside at the time were.
beside the doctors and nurses, United
States Senator Samuel H. Piles, of Wash
ington, and Andrew s. Burleigh, Of this
city, lifelong friend.
CONGRESSMAN Cushman underwent an
operation a short time ago and pneumonia
resulted Senator Piles and Mr.. Burleigh.
who had been with the patient almost
constantly since his condition became
serious, said they would make arrange
ments for the sending of the body to
Washington.
House Humorist" Was
Title Given Cushman
WASHINGTON, July s-While Represen-
tatIve Cushman possessed unchallenged
the title of house humorist," he was
universally regarded as far more than
that His high ability was recognized by
Speaker Cannon in committee assign
ments, particularly to fill vacancy on
the ways and means committee when o.
great tariff bill was pending.
A striking thing about Representative
Cushman was that he never displayed
his gift Of humor to the house for mere
amusement, but always with a view OF
impressing his views more forcibly upon
that body. His style OF expression and
his ho1nely appearance had much to do
with the effect OF his remarks
One OF his first speeches to attract at
tention touched on the effects Of the pan
ic in 1898. In describing the impoverished
condition to which his constituents were
reduced, he said they were forced to live
on CLAIMS, washed ashore by the incoming
tide. Their stomachs," he concluded,
rose and fell with the rising and falling
of the tide"
He probably will be long remembered
by reason of the effectiveness of his hui
NOR in the debates on the Payne tariff
bill in the house. His speech in defense
of retaining the duty on lumber secured
several additional votes for the duty. His
acduiescence to a rule for a vote on the
Payne bill, with reduced rates on lumber.
assured its passage. In describing his
feelings to the house he Hkened them to
a cow-puncher in Wyoming whose ability
to raise 1000 cattle in one summer with
one COW as a starter, caused a rope TO
be placed around his neck by a vigilance
committee.
They asked Bill what he had to say"
explained Mr.. Cushman. "Old Bill rolled
his ouid into the other cheek and said.
"Well, gentlemen, 1 suppose I've got
more interest in this performance than
any other gentleman present, but am
the least enthusiastic over the program"
The Washington congressman held the
title of being the homeliest man in the
house and looking more like Lincoln than
any other public man OF recent years. In
summarizing his career once, he said he
had been a water boy, section hand, cow
boy, school teacher, lawyer and congress-
man. He was in congress for more than
ten wears
