Edmond II. Madison

Kansas has suffered real loss In the
death OF Representative f. II. Madison.
In the second session of the first Con-
gress in which he served Judge Madi-
son made his first important speech.
It was on the regulation of injunctions.
The House, proverbially Indifferent to
speeches. paid no attention at the be-
ginning But the members soon found
that this man from Kansas knew what
he was talking about and that he had
something to say. The chamber filled
and at the end of the speech Speaker
Cannon and the House leaders crowd
ed around him to congratulate him.
After that Judge Madison always
had an audience on those rare occa-
sions when he spoke, because he never
spoke without Illuminating his sub
ject. The House organization would
have. been overjoyed to adopt this new
member and push him along. But he
had too much insight into the meaning
OF the Cannon domination, and he re-
fused membership in the great &C.
along Club that has captured SO many
capable men and got them out of har-
mony with the folks back home"
It wasn't easy for him to do this.
He was good fellow in the best
sense Of the term, and he hated to be
disagreeable to anybody. l like to eat
and I like to sleep and ! like my
friends. and like to live." he remark
ed on one occasion. But he deliberate
" cut himself off from associations
that he would have enjoyed immense
~ In order to join the lnsurgent forces.
Judge Madison was too capable
man, however, to be overlooked by the
managers Of any body that he might
be associated with. More and more
he came to be consulted by the lead
ers, and to get important assignments.
He was the sort OF man that his fell
lows sought out instinctively for coun-
sci. A proposition would be put to
him and he would be asked whether
q certain consequence would not fol-
low. "Hold on, now" would be the
invariable reply, lets check up and
look this thing all over" and the look
ing over process was always illumi-
mating.
His most important service, per-
haps. was done as member of the in
vestigating committee on the Balm
ger case. I'm going to- get the straight
OF this II cam he told his friends. Il
couldn't go after man unjustly If l
wanted to. I'm not built that way"
So his verdict was generally accepted
by the country as just to all concern
ed. ...
But while he gained increasing in
fluence In Washington he never sue
cumbed to the Washington atmos-
phere. "When any proposition comes
up" he used to say. II try to think
what the folks who sit around the
stove In the general store back in
Kansas would say about it." BY this
he did not mean that he would go
against what he believed to be right
to please anybody on earth. He would
not. He did mean that he never al
lowed himself to be dazxled by the gla-
mour OF Washington.
His death. as has been said, Is a real
loss to the Nation. To a wide circle
OF friends 1t is an intense personal sor-
row.-Kansas City Star.

Late aft ernoon witnessed a little reversal. the harbinger of soon-to-be changes. Early evening saw a calm set in, but with a cloud cast sky. About 8 o'clock, those who had occasion to be on the streets were met with a volley of hail, snow and rain. How 1t did come down. The combined clements later concentrated them selves into a real snow storm, the streets soon being covered with a heavy white layer. With the let up of the snow fall, the thermomete be- gan to take it's tumble, reaching it's lowest depths at 6 this morning.

JAIL'S BEST
 COOK RETURNED
 TO PRIVATE LIFE.
Doc" Livingston Was Classiest
 Chef Institution Ever Had

To one who has become accustomed to frequent visits to the Fairfield county jail, the atmosphere of the the law abiding citizen might we'll imagine. Certain associations of the institution fasten themselves in the minds and hearts of the wayward. When they are ushered through the portals of the big structure they grow, after time. to feel themselves at home.
 One of the most striking of the many inducements held out by the Hotel Hawley is its matchless cuisine But the reputation of the culinary depart ment is in peril, for Doc Livingstone. the classiest cook of them all. whose master hand could make 8 veteran COW as tender and tasty as we'll season ed squab, has quit his job.
 Doc" has comple,ed a term of 30 months in jail. He was once book keeper for J. s. Mead & Co.,, real es- tate dealers. His defalcations follow ed by his flight furnished a short lived sensation. He was apprehended in Canada and brought to Bridgeport by Detective Sergeant Cronan, and con- victed of embezzlement on five counts.
 DOc HIS Iull name was JdaneS A Livingstone-was once a wine clerk at the A Alantic Hotel. But he quit that task to become bookkeeper in the real estate office. None of the Bridge port friends of "Doc" knew. his life story, or they might have been ap- prised of how he knew so well how to cook. When he reached the jail, he preferred the kitchen to the workshop and disclosed his hidden talent to Sheriff Hawley. He was at once as- signed to the kitchen, and soon be- came the maitre de cuisine. He and Jim Jacques, the negro dive keeper, were the classiest team the jail kitchen has ever known. With Liv- ingstone gone. the jail will lose its atractiveness for many of it's regular visitors. It is feared that the place will lose a considerable share of it's patrOnage.

400 STUDENTS
 IN EARLY FIRE
$100,O00 Blaze Causes Near Panic in Harvard "Mil- iOnaires' Club.''
Especial from United Press.) }

T
 Boston, March 16-About four hum dred Harvard students living in Ram dolph Hall one of the most elegant and exclusive of the dormitories for wealthy students, made perilous es- capes, early today, from the building when fire broke out. Flames had en- veloped the whole building when dis covered. The building, it was thought, would be a total loss.
 Randolph Hall is about eight stories high and is known as the ''Millionaires Club.''
 Every piece of apparatus in Cam bridge was called to the fire. The students living on the lower floors rushed out in their nightclothing, un- mindful of the bitter blizzard, while those living on the upper floors gath cred at windows and on fire-escapes waiting in terror for the fremen to hoist ladders which was done. Many students were overcome by smoke but were rescued by their fellows.
 Students from all the other Harvard dormitories rushed out scantily clad and aided the fremen in the rescues.
 The fire was under control at a. m., today, and the whole northeast wing of the building had been des- troyed. The damage was estimated at approximately s10O,OO0. The personal property and room furnishings of the students which were destroyed twill mount up to a large figure.
 The fire started in the room of T. Buell. of New York and T. A. Jenckes. Neither was sure as to whether the source was a cigarette stump or an overturned gas lamp and refused to discuss the fire. The other wings of the building were saved by fire wall. Only the snow on the roofs of the ad- joining Gold Coast" dormitories sav- ed them.
 Immediately after the fire there was a grand rush of burned out students for the telegraph office where requests for money from home were dispatched.
