DEATH OF EZRA j. WARNER r
Middlebury Loses Good Friend
= Graduate of the College.

Z Word was received in Middlebury last
Saturday of the sudden death of Ezra
j. Warner of Chicago at his residence
in Lake Forest, ILL.,, Friday evening.
1t has been learned that Mr.. Warner
had spent the day in his Offices in Chica-
go and returned to his suburban home
at six O'Clock. He seemed to be in the
best of health and spirits at that hour.
He had just driven from the station to
his home, greeted his wife and son
Harold, and gone to his room to dress
for dinner. When he did not join the
family within few minutes, his son
went to summon him and found the
father dead in a big easy chair. He
had suffered stroke of apoplexy and
had died without uttering sound.
Mr.. Warner was born in this village
March 8, 1841, the son of Joseph and ane
Mech Warner. His father was for
many years Trustee of the College
and an officer of the National Bank of
Middlebury. Mr.. Warner prepared for
College in Kimball Union Academy and
graduated at Middlebury in 1861 as
valedctorian of his class. He was a
member of the Chi Psi Fraternity.
After graduation he went to New York
and in November, 1861, married Miss
Jane Remsen. He located in Chicago
and became associated with A. A.
Sprague in the firm of Sprague & War
ner, wholesale grocers. The firm later
became Sprague, Warner & Company,
and for many years has been one of the
strongest and most important mercan-
tile houses in the West.
For nearly twenty years Mr.. Warner
was the Chicago Director of the Liver
pool, London & Globe Insurance Co.
He was a member of the governing
board of the Art Institute of Chicago
and of the Chicago, Onwentsia, and
Pasadena Country Clubs. He is surviv-
ed by three sons, Frank, Ezra Jr.,
Harold R. and two daughters, Mrs.
Alexander A. Mccormick and Mrs.
Ethel Mothershead.
Shortly after the centennial of the
College in 1900 Mr. Warner offered to
erect suitable building for the scien-
tifc laboratories. His gift for the
building and its equipment amounted to
$85, 900, one of the largest benefactions
Middlebury College has ever received.
He has maintained his interest in his
Alma Mater, visiting the institution at
intervals and expressing his satisfaction
with the usefulness of his gift.
Mr.. Warner was Trustee of Lake
Forest University, ILL.,, and an active
member of the Presbyterian Church of
Lake Forest. He is remembered by
Middlebury friends as a very genial and
kindly man, full of good cheer, and of
rare charm of manner. The Alumni
and friends of the College held him in
great honor as one of the most success
full and useful of the college graduates.

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON
Per Cent. Of Sufferers 10 Enormous
and There Seems but One
Remedy.

From several investigations -
have been made by the National AZ
sociation for the Study and Proven
ton Of tuberculosis. It 10 estimated
that on an average about fifteen per
cent. of the prison population Of the
country IL afiiicted with tuberculosis.
On this basis. out Of the $4,000 prison
ers housed In the penal institutions
Of the United States at any given
time. not less than 1000 are infected
with this disease. II the Philippine
islands and other insular possessions
were taken into consideration the
number would be much larger. Some
of the prisons Of Pennsylvania. Kan
sas and Ohio show such shocking con-
ditions with reference to tuberculosis
that many wardens admit that these
places OF detention are death traps.
Similar conditions could be found In
almost every state. and in the major
ity OF cases the only sure remedy Is
the destruction Of the old buildings
and the erection Of new ones.

JUNGLE JOE" IGNORED
POLICY OF ADMINISTRATION AP.
PEARS TO BE TO CATER MORE
TO WESTERN INTERESTS.

Beverly, Mass.-Senator Crane OF
Massachusetts,, who has been the
prominent central figure in the
group of events that have spread re-
ports of coming readjustment in GER
tain circles of the Republican party.
is coming to Beverly Tuesday to
make a personal report to the Presi-
tent regarding his recent mission.
The doubt as to how far President
Taft is behind the moves that have
been made by Senator Crane and
some of his associates still exists.
The President has been reading with
interest the reports of the various
moves as they have been made. but
has made no public comment upon
any phase OF the situation. There Is
every likelihood that this silence will
continue.
II is known. however. that Mr..
Taft's mail has increased by leaps and
bounds during the past week and that
his official clipping bureau has been
busy with an accumulation of favor
able editorial comments on the re-
ports emanating from Beverly.
II is expected that the coming week
will be marked by the significant
steps in the plan for the fall cam
paign. Some OF these will undoubt-
edly favor the plan that found Its
first public announcement last week,
while others undoubtedly will favor
the old order OF things
Senator Cranes visit is TO be fol-
lowed by calls from Vice President
Sherman and Representative Loudens-
lager OF New Jersey. Both Mr.. Sher-
man and Mr.. Loudenslager are known
as the warm friends and supporters OF
Speaker Cannon.
These two gentlemen are coming
ostensibly TO talk over the plans for
the congressional campaign. Mr.. LOU
denslager is in charge OF the New York
headquarters OF the Republican con-
gressional committee. Representative
Mckinley Of Illinois, chairman OF the
congressional committee. Is also ex-
pected at Beverly this week. He also
Is a friend OF the speaker but he re-
marked rather significantly a few days
ago that he did not know that Mr. Can
non would again be a candidate for the
speakersh!p. In this connection IL can
be stated that in their move to block
any Of Mr.. Cannon's aspirations the
new element In administration circles
will not consult the speaker or his
friends. They feel that 1t will take
very little more handwriting on the
wall TO show the Cannon adherents
that there is going to be a change.
One OF the main objects of the pro-
posed new order of things. 1t can be
stated. is TO bring the administration
more in touch with the West. This
probably is due to the important posi-.
tion that Secretary Norton has as
sumed in the affairs OF the administra-
ton. Mr.. Norton is from Chicago and
he is in sympathy with many of the
views of the people who live in that
section.
