.PECKHAM IS DEAD
DEATH CALLS ASSOCIATE JUS.
TlcE OF THE SUPREME COURT.
AT HIS HOME NEARALBANY
Was Auothor Of Some Of the Courts
Most Noteworthy opinions.-Ap-
pointed by Grover Cleveland.

Albany, New York.-Rufus w. Peck
ham, associate justice of the United
States supreme court, died at Cool
more, his summer home, at Altamont.
Albany county. Death was due to
a complication of diseases, heart
trouble, Bright's disease and harden
ing of the arteries contributing.
Justice Pecknam had been in i'll
health for some time, but his condi-
ton was not considered serious until
recently.
A few days ago his condition be-
came such that his physicians said he
was likely to die at any time or might
linger for several months.
Peckham Was Democrat.
Washington, D. C.-Justice Peck
ham was a Democrat. He was born in
Albany, N. Y, Nov. 8, 1888, and had
been on the bench, state and federal,
for 26 years. He came from the court
of appeals of his native state, posi-
ton which his father before him had
occupied.
He was the last of President Cleve-
lands Democratic appointees to the
federal supreme court. Chief Justice
Fuller and Justice White being the
other two. He took his seat in Janu-
ary, 1896.
Justice Peckham was the author of
some of the courts most noteworthy
opinions of recent date involving the
rights of corporations. Among them
may be mentioned the case of the
Consolidated Gas Company, of New
York, in which he held that while
rates fixed by the legislature must al
low fair return on investments, feder-
al courts could not interfere to de-
clare them invalid unless they were
so unreasonably low as to be confis.
catory. One result of that decision
was to cause the return of several
million dollars to depositors.
Several of Mr.. Peckham's corpora
ton decisions dealt with the Sherman
antitrust law as applied to railroads.
These included the joint traffic and
the trans-Mississippi cases, in both OF
| which he held the law to be applic-
able.
He also prepared and delivered the
opinion of the court in the case of At
torney General Young, of Minnesota,
in watch it was held that the federal
courts could interfere with the execu-
ton by the state courts of an uncon-
stitutional state law.

spouse he left behind him arrested for

any originality at all in the matter OF
such long-established precedent is to
his credit. but no amount Of other

Elizabeth, N. j., Oct. 25.-Charlea
N. Fowler, congressman from the fifth
New Jersey district and former chair
man of the house committee on bank
ing and currency, today addressed an
open letter to Sen. Nelson w. Aldrich.
of Rhode Island, chairman of the mon
etary commission created by congress
and also chairman of the finance COM
mittee Of the senate, challenging him
to joint debate in one or more cities,
on the subject of central bank.
In the letter, Mr.. Fowler says he II
opposed to the establishment Of .
central bank, under existing condi-
tions, because he believes with it
would come a. most discouraging and
disheartening favoritism and the, ulti-
mate destruction Of our purely indi-
vidual and Independent form Of bank

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 22-Martin Nelson
Johnson, Junior United States senator
from North Dakota, died in his suite at
the Gardner hotel at 7:10 o'clock last
night. Death came suddenly.
Death was caused by acute Brignt's
disease, accompanied by edena of tho
larynx.
The end came quietly. Shortly be.
fore his death the physicians noticed
that he was breathing with difficulty.
He retained consciousness, however,
until the end. At Z o'clock he asked
for drink Of water and thanked tho
physician who held it to his lips. A
few moments later he spoke to his
wife, and these were his last words,
Il am very tired" and then quietly,
peacefully, like one falling asleep, he
passed away. Mrs. Johnson bore up
bravely, and the physicians speak
highly Of her fine quality Of courage
and fo,titude.
Senator johnson came to Fargo two
weeks ago, when slight operation
was performed on his nose by DR.. ]. n.
Rindlaub. The operation was not
serious one, however, and until Sunday
he called at the doctors Office every
day.
Sunday evening he was seized with
an attack of Bright's disease, with
which he had been afflicted for more
than twenty years. His condition was
not considered serious. however. until
yesterday.
Senator Johnson's life was entwined
with the foundation stones Of North
Dakota's history, and his service as q
public man went far to give tho struc-
ture Of the commonwealth Its solidiry
and dignity. His work as q member Of
the states constitutional convention
and during eight years Of subsequent
congressional service show q record
which is conceded to have been blame
less.
Senator johnson was born on Q farm
in Racine county. Wisconsin. in March,
1850. His father, the Rev. Nelson
johnson was born in Norway and came
to this county in 1889. and was mar
ried here to Anna Selheim, q native Of
Norway. He was Methodist Episco-
pal clergyman for twenty-five years.
The deceased senator was the father
Of three daughters and ono son who
survive him. as does Mrs. johnson.
formerly Miss White, whom he married
at Decorah before moving to the then
new country Of Dakota.
In religious ah1liations tho senator
was . devoted member Of the Method

THE young Russian violinist, Mscha Eman
Il seems to have fulfilled all predictions as to his
genius. His appearance with the Russian
Symphony orchestra at Carnegie hall last week
was the signal for veritable ovation. Mr. Eman
has not yet attained his ority, but he has, never
theless the execution and finish Of the older violin
lists, with the added attraction of the exuberance of
youth Great things may be expected Of him.
I He pcturesqueness of the medieval troubadour
was largely matter Of costume and environ

Albert Midenberg, of New York, at that time the
