Home in Special, Dies Near

AILING SINCE THURSDAY
Acute Attack OF Appendicitis Fatal
Wife, Doctor and Trained
Nurse With Him.

William Bayard Cutting, wealthy
lawyer and civic reformer of New
York, died last night just outside
Davenport on a Rock Island special
train which since Thursday had been
racing eastward from FL Paso, Tex,
N an effort to reach New York be-
fore the end came.
Mrs. Cutting was at her husbands
bedside when he died. Two doctors
and a trained nurse had done every
thing medical skill could suggest to
save him. After having been uncon-
scious since the train left Kansas
City, Mr.. Cutting expired at $50 D.
IN. Just before Rock Island was
reached.
The train arrived in Chicago at
1880 this morning. The distance COW
cred by the special before the mil
lionaire died was about 1,170 miles.
GROWS WORSE AS TRAIN SPEEDS.
The millionaire was seized with an
acute attack of appendicitis at Ell
Paso on Wednesday. On the follow
ing morning at 10 o'clock, he was
put aboard the special train and
started for New York. The journey
through New Mexico was made al
high speed, but when the train en-
tered Kansas its speed was reduced
by the heavy snow and the genera.
railroad congestion which the snow
had caused.
Mr.. Cuttings health continued t.
grow steadily worse as the specia
moved east. When 1t reached Kan
sas City he was unconscious. Heroi,
expedients were used 10 keep tn,

motives for wishing to abandon his

Taylor was to have been married to
Miss Nellie Black of Davenport and
at the time he applied for the license
his face was wreathed in smiles. This
morning, however, he seemed to have

PROMINENT IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS.
Mr.. Cutting was a multimillionaire
and a man of varied interests He
was prominent in society and civic
affairs and q director in many large
corporations.
He formerly was civil service COM
missioner and president of the tene-
ment house commission. He was
born in New York, Jan. IL, 1910,
and graduated from Columbia uni
versity and Columbia law school. He
married Olivia Murray. He prac-
ticed law continuously in New York
after having been admitted to the
bar
w. Bsyard Cutting, Jr., the son
OF the deceased lawyer, has the dis
tinction of being the only American
commoner to marry an English peer
ess. He is in the United States dip
lomatic service and it was while he
was secretary to Joseph Choate, am
bassador to England in 1901, that
he met his wife, who was Lady Sybil
Cuffe, the youngest daughter of the
Earl and Countess of Desart.
SON WEEDS PEERLESS.
Mr.. Cutting and Lady Sybil were
married within two months after
they first met each other. At the
time their engagement was announc.
ed it caused a great deal of COM
ment in court circles, as it was re-
garded breaking a precedent of long
standing that peeresses should not
marry commoners who were ineli-
gible to gain titles.
After his marriage Mr.. Cutting re-
signed from his diplomatic post and
entered the sugar refining. business al
Nordhoff. Cal. He remained there
until 1908, when he decided to reen-
ter the diplomatic service.
