New York, Jan. l9.-Paul Morton,
president of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society and secretary of the navy
under Theodore Roosevelt, died OF
cerebal hcmorrl1age in the Hotel Sey-
mour here tonight. His wife and his
eldest brother, Joy, were summoned to
his side, but he died few minutes
before they arrived and an hour after
he was stricken. His close friend, f. J.
Berwind, arrived few moments
earlier, perhaps ten minutes before
Morton breathed his last. Morton was
unconscious from the moment of his
stroke, and neither recognized those
about him nor spoke.

AT five o'clock I dropped into his
office, thinking we might go up town
together, but he had left before me.
So went on up to the house alone,
where | met Mrs. Morton, and we
drank tea together. She knew that Paul
had promised me to be home at six or
before, and as it grew late, she turned
to me and said, Isn't it odd that Paul
is late? He is always so punctual.'
The words were hardly out of her
mouth before the telephone rang and
the butler brought the bad news.
"'Mrs. Norton he said, the Hotel
Seymour telephones that Mr.. Morton
has just fainted.' We jumped into an

Mr.. E. J. Berwind was there before us.

tonight hanging from the rafter of a
shack which boys of the neighborhood
had built for a playhouse, the posi-

hanged himself.

to Indians and requests enlargement
of authority to himself and deputies
which would enable them to make ar

That the work is hazardous is shown
