PECKHAM NOTED
FOR OPINIONS
PASSED ON CONSOLIDATED GAS
RATES CASE WHICH CLOSED
NEW YORK FIGHT.

Albany. N. Y, Oct. 25--Rufus w.
Peckham, justice of the United States
supreme court, died at his summer
home at Altamont at S:15 last night.
Death was due to complication OF
diseases.
Justice Peckham had been in i'll
health for some time but his condition
was not considered serious until re-
Gently Following an adjournment Of
the May term of the United States
supreme court, he came on from
Washington with Mrs. Peckham to
spend the summer at Altamont, ex-
pecting to return for the beginning OF
the October term.
Justice Peckham was q Democrat,
and before taking q seat on the bench
gave considerable attention to politics
in New York. He was born in Albany,
N. Y, Nov. 8, 1888, and had been on
the bench, state and federal, for twen-
ty-six years. He came from the court
of appeals of his native state, a posi-
tion which his father before him had
occupied.
Mr.. Peckham's first Office was that
of district attorney for Albany coun-
ty. He was elected to that position in
1868. He afterwards became in sue
cession corporation counsel for the
city Of Albany, member of the SUI
preme court of the state, and associate
Justice of the state court of appeals.
He was the last of President Cleye-
land Democratic appointees to the fed
eral supreme court Chief Justice Full
Ter and Justice White being the other
two. He took his seat in January,
1896.
Court Commanded Entire Attention
His chief distinction was that of CIV
ing his time exclusively to the duties
of the court He accepted no outside
appointments and undertook no work
not connected with the high tribunal
| of which he was member. But he
was in constant attendance on the
court and gave the most careful at
tention to all matters before it. He
was married, but went little into soci-
ETY.. Unlike other justices, he accept
| ed no invitations to public functions
and made no public addresses after
taking his seat as Justice.
Cases involving the rights Of corpor.
ations received especial consideration
at Justice Peckham's mands and he
was the author of some Of the courts
most noteworthy opinions Of recent
date along this line. Among them may
1 be mentioned the case Of the Consoli.
dated Gas company Of New York, in
which he held that while rates fixed
| by the legislature must allow fair re.
turn on Investments. federal courts
could not interfere to declare them In
valid unless they were so unreason
ably low as to be confiscatory. One
result of that decision was to cause
| the return OF several millions Of dol
lars to New York gas consumers.

FORMER CITIZEN
VISITS 0TTUMWA
ATTORNEY w. w. EPPs is HERE.
FROM EUGENE, OREGON, IN
CITY ATTENDING COURT.

w. w. EpDs is in Ottumwa on a
professional visit. He speaks highly
of his new home in Eugene. Oregon,
and has already absorbed the enthus-
iasm that westerners seem inoculated
with as regards that section Of the
country. The city Of Eugene, where
the firm Of Epps, Tillmont and Macy
are in law, insurance and real estate
business, is the seat of the University
of Oregon and is already well beloved
by the former Ottumwa attorney. J. N.
Tillmont is brother of DR., Tillmont,
Of Centerville, who was one of the
states alienists in the Junkin murder
trial In a recent issue of the Daily
Guard of Eugene, Ore, Windsor Eprs
is mentioned as one of the late addi-
tions to the basketball team of the
high school, who is expected to give a
good account of himself. His record
with the local high school team should
prove of valuable assistance to the
team in the western city, for his teara
in Ottumwa was always in form to
handle the state championship games
with artistic execution. Attorney Epps
will be in the city for short time at
tending court.

Fairfield, Oct 25.- (SpeciaD -
Visions of bread and water menus in
dank and dismal dungeons disturbed
the slumbers Of $50 Parsons college
students, of both sexes, last night aft
er it had become known that the au-
thorities were threatening to make
wholesale arrests for college prank
of Saturday night. The Parsons stu
dent body had met for "yelp' meet
ing to prepare few new blood-curd-
ling whoops for today's football strug-
gle with Iowa Wesleyan. After the
yells had been rehearsed the crowd
swung into town and paraded around
the square. But mere parade was
too tame for some Of the more daring
spirits.
A home talent play by home
talent author, John Worth, was being
played at the opera house. The crowd
decided to take it in, and, descending
upon the box office, they swept ticket
seller and ticket taker aside with
shoves from $50 shoulders. But in
side the house they struck snag.

the Peace Jaques was also at the
show. He had the police get busy and
break 1t gently to the students that
they had better beat it." They did.
But Justice of the Peace Jaques
knew a great many of the $50 students
and he allowed it to be known casual
ly Sunday that when court opened on
Monday he would have some of them
before him. At this juncture President
Parsons of the college was appealed
to. and the prexy put in good part
of this morning In consultation with
the Justice. The result OF the meet.
ing is not known, but 81 any rate the
roistering students enjoyed a truce
and they are all out at the football
game this afternoon.
The students were strong in denials
of any squeamish feeling as to the re.
suit of the conference between Prest
dent Parsons and Justice of the Peace
Jaques. They swore they would stick
together and If one went to jail they
would all go.
THAT Fairfield Jail isn't such a bad
place." said one of the ring leaders OF
the ruction. student who will have
his joke. "Of course, she went on,
the rooms are a cell, but the win
dows are CRATE"

DEATH
RATE RECORDED
F 0 R He U. S.
CENSUS BUREAU IN REPORT JUST
MADE PUBLIC DECLARE ERA OF
LOW MORTALITY HAS BEEN
REACHED BY WORLD.

Washington, D. c., Oct 25.-"The
civilized world has indeed arrived, at
an era of low mortality
This conclusion is stated in census
bureau bulletin No. 104 on mortality
statistics for 1908, prepared by DR..
Cressy L. Lilbur, chief statistician for
vital statistics under Director Durand
who transmitted it today to Secretary
Nagel of the department Of commerce
and labor.
The death rate of the registration
states in 1908 was 1873 per 1000 of
population which was slightly lower
than that for the entire registration
area, 1874 per 1000, and it is the low
est on record. DR.. Wilbur states it is
probably the lowest death rate that
has ever occurred in the United States.
The death rate of the rural portions
of these states was still lower, being
only ii per 1000, while that Of the
urban population was 1875 per 1000;
the latter including all cities having
population Of 5000 or more inhab-
itants in 1900, and being, as usual,
somewhat greater than the rural rate.
Such rates would have seemed quite
out of the question few years ago.
The death rate Of England and
Wales for 1908 was only 147 per 1000
of population, and of London for the
same year, 1853 per 1000. For each
year since 1893 the death rate of Eng
land and Wales has been less than
16 per thousand, with the exception of
the year 1904 for which year it was
1872 per 1000, while no rate as low has
been recorded for any previous years
Of registration.
The early publication of the data
is due to the increased promptncss OF
| the returns from the state and city
Offices most OF which now make
monthly reports.
The registration area embraces the
registration states and separate regis
tration cities in non-registration states
accepted by the census bureau as hav.
ing approximately complete registra
tions of deaths based upon the re.
quirement of compulsory burial per-
mits For the year 1908, the registra
ton states We're: California, Colo
RADIO, Connecticut, Indiana, Maine
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan
New Hampshire, New Jersey New
York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island
South Dakota, Vermont, Washington
and wisconsin.
The District of Columbia and seven
ty-four registration cities in non-reg
istration states, together with the
Registration states mentioned, made ur
the aggregate registration area fol-
1908, whose total estimated population
for the year was 45,028,767.
| The total number of deaths returned
for the year 1908 from the aggregate
registration area was 691.5T4. For tht
preceding year the number of deaths

ATTEMPT TO BURN CHURCH.
Janltor Of Council Bluffs Place Of
Worship Discovers Flames
In Mornin,

Council Bluffs, Oct. 25- attempt
was made Saturday night some time
to burn St Paul's Episcopal church
of Council Bluffs.
A cocoa mating was picked up from
the floor and thrown over the rear
pews on one side of the building and
the fire burning section of
two pews and a hole in the floor about
two feet square. The rear pew on the
opposite side of the church was also
set on fire. but apparently this at
tempt was also fneffectual, only dam
aging the pew and burning hole in
the floor.
When the janitor entered the
church at o'clock in the morning one
fire. had burned out and the other was
smouldering. The church was full of
smoke.
The whole thing is much of a mys-
terry.
