CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER DEAD
Aged Jurist Passes Away Suddenly
at Sorrento, Maine.

Bar Harbor. Me.-Chief Justice Mel
vile W. Fuller Of the United States
Supreme court died from heart failure
at his summer home in Sorrento at
six O'Clock Monday morning.
The death OF the chief magistrate
was unexpected, as he had been In
fairly good health lately. and there
had been no premonitory symptoms Of
any kind Of trouble. Sunday he at
tended church as usual. and when he
retired at night he was to all appear
ances In his customary health.
Death came about six O'Clock Mon
day morning. His daughter. Mrs. Ma
thaniel Francis. and Rev. James E.
Freeman. who was a guest Of Justice
Fuller's at his Sorrento cottage.
main Stay" were with the jurist
when he died.
The funeral services will be held at
Sorrento and the interment will be at
Chicago.
For many years the chief Justice
had spent his summers at Sorrento. a
summer colony located on French
mans bay. five miles from Bar Har-
Dor.
A Great American.
To Chief Justice Fuller fell the
honor of third rank for length Of serv-
Ice as presiding justice In the highest
tribunal Of the American government
For % years he was chief justice
Of the Supreme court Of the United
States. Chief Justice Marshall pre-
sided over the court for 81 years and
Chief Justice fancy for % years.
With the future rests the determine
ton of his rank among the eight
chief justices Of history for ability and
accomplishments.
Before Grover Cleveland sent his
name to the senate on April 30. 1888.
for confirmation as chief Justice. he
was practically unknown except to
members of the legal profession. In
Maine. where he was born on Febru-
airy II. 1888. he had been known as
a well-behaved. rather scholarly lad.
He had gone to Bowdoin college. and.
incidentally. there won most Of the
prizes for elocution. He had gone
down to Harvard law school for one
year.
His Great Argument.
From 1856 to 1883 he lived In Chi
cago. hut attracted little attention out
side his immediate circle Of friends
and associates at the bar until he
undertook the defense Of Bishop
Cheney on a charge Of heresy. His
knowledge OF ecclesiastical history
and procedure astonished those who
conducted the case. and his argument
Of the cause of the bishop before the
surreme court of Illinois is referred to
still as a forensic effort seldom II ever
surpassed in that court.
He was q delegate to the national
conventions Of the Democratic party
in 1864. 1872. 1876 and 1880.
The nomination OF Mr.. Fuller. then
fifty-f1ve years Of age. was followed by
a memorable contest in the senate.
The Columbus journal. (Columbus, Neb.) 1874-1911, 1910-07-13

The judiciary committee. with its
Republican majority, to which the
nomination was sent April 30. held
up the appointment until July 20.
Then the committee reported 1t to the
senate without recommendation"
For three hours that body debated
In executive session whether to con
firm or reject the nomination. The
attack on Mr.. Fuller was led by Sena.
tors Edmunds. Evarts and Stewart.
Senators Cullom and Farwell defend.
ed him.
The reports that he had been a
'copperhead" during the Civil war
and that he did not possess the re.
quisite ability as a lawyer were gone
over.
His Great Victory.
Finally, by a vote Of Al to 20. his
nomination was confirmed.
Since that day the entire court as
II then existed has passed away with
the eingle exception Of Justice Har.
len. OF those prominent in the fight
over his confirmation only Senator
Cullom remains. and President Cleve-
land. who thus honored the Illinois
lawyer. has thus gone to his grave.
Throughout his service Chief JUS
tice Fuller was noted for the dignity
with which he filed the position. He
preserved that manner on the bench
or of.
Although small of stature. not more
than i've feet seven inches. his wealth
of silvery hair and classic features
made him q commanding figure wher-
ever he appeared.
Chief Justice Fuller leaves an In.
delIble stamp on the laws of the coun-
try. Among his most famous opinions
are the following:
His Famous Decisions.
the income tax law was held to be un-
constitutional.
The Danbury hat case. by which Ia.
Dor unions we're held to be amenable
to the Sherman antitrust law.
The Western Union Telegraph com.
pany versus the Commonwealth Of
Pennsylvania. In which the state was
denied the right to tax telegraph mes
sages. except when interstate.
The Bank Of Washington versus
Hume. In which the insurable interest
Of the wife and children in the life
o. the husband and father was recog-
nized As distinguished from the claims
of creditors.
lnman versus South Carolina Rail-
way company. In which the railroad
was denied the power to exempt It.
self from liability for its negligence
in the shipment Of goods.
Moore versus Crawford. In which
married women were made to bear liza
bilities. such as those growing out Of
the fraudulent sale Of land. as we'll as
the legal rights.
Leisy versus Haddin. in which the
state was denied rights over original
packages Of liquor in interstate com.
merce. an opinion which led to tho
passage Of the Wilson liquor law.

aeroplaneist. vas seriously. perhaps
fatally. injured here Friday BY falling
from . height Of Afty feet.
Tho Baroness de La Roche had
flown around the field once at q height
Of fifty feet. when suddenly while in
front Of applauding tribunes. she ap
peared to become frightened and con.
fused at the approach Of two other
aeroplanes.
She started to descend but while
still fifty feet from the ground. lost
control Of the machine.
The aeroplane turned over and fell
like q log. The baroness legs and
arms were broken. Her mangled body
was removed from the wreckage and
conveyed to the hospital.
While momentarily conscious the
baroness explained that the rush of
air from a motor passing over her
head had frightened her. whereupon
she lost control of the machine
Examination shows her skull is not
fractured.
This is the second fatal accident at
this meeting. Wachter having been
killed last Friday.
Two aviatOrs broke the records
for $50 kilometers at the meeting
here Friday. Hubert Latham covered
the distance in two hours one minute
six seconds and afterward the Bel
gian. Olislager. did 1t in one hour.
tifty-three minutes. twenty seconds.
The performances of Baroness De
La Roche on a VoisOn machine have
been much talked Of in Paris. This &C.
cldent was not her first. On January
4. last. she was seriously injured at
the Chalons aviation field. In circlins
the course she made a wide turn and
crashed into a tree. being unable to
elevate her machine quickly enough to
dodge it. She fell from a height of
twenty feet and was taken to the mil
itary hospital unconscious. Her right
shoulder was dis.ocated and internal
injuries were feared, but she re-
covered soon.
In February last the French Aero
club gave Baroness De La Roche an
air pilots license for her feat in
flying four times around the aviation
course at Heliopolis. a distance OF
twelve miles.
The baroness was one of the
pioneers of aviation. She had also
driven motor boats in races and auto
mobiles at exhibitions and as soon as
flying became practicable. she turned
to them. There are several other
women aviators in Paris.
