Britain SuCCumbS to Asthma.
BEEN FAILING FOR YEAR
Break Down Dates From Last Win
ter, When He Entertained Duke
of Connaught in New York
City.

London, Dec. 16.-Whitelaw Reid,
ambassador to the court of ST. James,
is dead at Dorchester House, his pa
latial London home.
Only his wife and daughter, Hon.
Mrs. John Hubert Ward, were at his
bedside when the end came. His son,
Ogden Mills Reid, sailed from New
York Saturday on the Kronprinzessin
Cecelie, the ambassadors family not
realizing the seriousness of Mr.. Reds
condition until Friday, when they
cabled Ogden to sail Immediately for
England.
Gave Up Last Friday.
Contrary to many reports, the am
bassador did not take to his bed until
Friday night, when, for the first time,
he consented to turn over all official
correspondence to Irwin Laughlin,
first secretary of the embassy. Until
that time the ambassador believed
himself suffering merely from the
effects of the cold which he caught

students of the University College of
Wales at Aberystwyth on the subject

TWO ENGLISH AIRMEN KILLED

Machine While Going Fifty Miles
an Hour.

London, Dec. 16.-Aviation has
claimed two more victims, bringing
the total number of deaths from the
pursuit of this science up to 217. The

NEED NEW LAND LAWS
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR FISHER
MAKES REPORT TO TAFT.
Shows Present Statutes Are made.
quate for Properly Administering
Natural Resources.

Washington, Dec 16-Drastic reYis-
ION OF laws affecting the public do
main, and an enlargement of the
scope of the department of the inte-
rlor through increased appropriations
by congress, was the tenor of Secre-
tary Walter L. Fishers annual report
OF that department to President Taft,
which was made public here today.
Secretary Fisher held the modifica.
ton of present laws relating to nat
ural resources and the enactment of
new laws affecting public lands to
be of the utmost Importance. He
called attention to the lack of ade-
quate laws for the proper administra-
ton and disposition of public lands
and natural resources, especially as
they are embraced within the public
domain, and again urged the adoption
OF such measures.
Especially did he plead for legisla-
ton looking toward "the classified
ton of public lands, according to
their respective characteristics and
appropriate uses,'' and stated that
disposed of in accordance with their
real classification under the law. The
present system of classification was
not flexible enough to provide for the
proper administration he stated.
In commenting on the situation in
Alaska, the secretary said, that the
whole of that territory was awaiting
the passage of suitable legislation for
the development of it's transportation
facilities and coal lands. He made
recommendations for the accomplish
ment of this exploitation.
Two outstanding features of the an
nual report of Secretary of Commerce
tions for the establishment of a board
of Cancellation and arbitration to ad-
Indicate the differences between raik
road men and their employers, and
the secretary's condemnation of hasty
legislation looking toward the estab-
lishment of trade commission.
A caustic arraignment of the lax
methods prevalent among the railroad
companies of the United States with
reference to providing suitable pro-
lection for their passengers and en-
ployes was the keynote of the annual
report of the Interstate commerce
commission, made public today. The
report stated that the total number
of casualties for the year on steam
roads was 1923, of which 1855
persons were killed and 69,55S were
injured. These figures represented
an increase of 189 in fatalities and
1879 in minor accidents over the
preceding year. Continuing the re
port says:
knowledge gained from investiga-
ton of these accidents indicates be-
yond doubt that with the track and
roadway conditions existing upon any
railroads in this country the danger
of serious derailments is ever pres
ent."

fed an agreement would be reached
IN the question of an Adriatic port on
which Servia and Austria are at
swords points.
Turk Ready to Resist.
Rechad Pasha, the most distin.
guished Ottoman delegate, expressed
the hope that with the assistance of
the powers on one side and modera-
ton OF the part of the Balkan allies
on the other. there would be a solu-
ton, which. if not satisfactory to Tur
key, would safeguard it's dignity.
IF they make it impossible for us
TO conclude an honorable peace" he
added they will soon find that the
old Mussulman lien although wound
ed, has not lost it's strength"
Greeks to Stop War.
In diplomatic circles it is believed
that Greece. although not adhering to
The armistice, will promise to sus-
pend war operations during the con-
ference and that Turkey shall do the
same
The outlook with respect to the con-
ference of ambassadors is optimistic
The chances of an agreemnt on au-
tonomy for Albania, under the protec-
ton CT the powers, are regarded as
favorable, the expression used being,
albania must not become the
SchlesWig- Holstejn of the Balkans,
but the Belgium of the Balkans"
Meantime it is reported from Paris
that Bulgaria virtually has completed
negotiations to join Austria, Germany
and Italy in an expanded dreibund.

which he had dictated himself and
signed. During the night he fell into
a stupor, from which he did not rally,
except at intervals. He was uncon-
scious practically all of Saturday and
Saturday night, although every aid
known to medical science was applied
There was slight rally early Sunday
morning, but the patient soon sank
into Inconsistencies, from which he
did not again rally.
Broke Down Year Ago.
Ambassador Reid's breakdown dates
from his trip to New York last winter
to entertain the duke and duchess of
Connaught, who came from Ottawa to
be the ambassadors guests at his
town house in New York
He had been a sufferer from asthma
for many years, and it had been his
habit every winter to spend several
weeks in the south of France, where
he seemed to find relief from the har-
assing ailment. Last winter, how
ever, in order to entertain the duke
and duchess of Connaught and their
daughter, Princess Patricia, he aban-
dOned his trip to France and sailed
for New York. His social duties there
fatigued him greatly, and when he left
New York on the return trip, last
February, his nerves were in a serious
condition. On the way over he
caught a severe cold, the effects of
which, in his overweight nervous
state, he was unable to shake off.
Dies of Pulmonary Oedema.
The following official statement was
issued at Dorchester House by the at
tending physicians:
"a fortnight ago the ambassador
had a return of the asthma from which
he had previously suffered severely at
considerable intervals. Gradually
bronchitis supervened and the asthma
paroXysms became severe, leading to
extreme exhaustion. 1t was hoped
that he might rally. as no pneumonia
symptoms had appeared.
Although with great difficulty the
parOXysms of asthma were gotten ulI-
der control, the exhaustion became ex-
IRENE. Mr.. Reid died of pulmonary
oedema."
Will Have State Funeral.
The death of an ambassador at his
post is an unusual occurrence for
London, and it is quite probable that
state funeral will be given him here
in Westminster abbey. King George
and the members of the royal family,
with the entire diplomatic corps and
the peace delegates from the Balkan
states and Turkey, who are now just
gathering for their momentous con-
ference, will probably attend.
King George Sends Coincidence.
Washington, Dec. licking George
of England sent a message of con-
dolence to President Taft on the death
of Ambassador Reid The president
replied at once, and at the same time
sent a cable to Mrs. Reid
Following the custom when diplo-
mats of high rank are called by death,
the body of the dead ambassador will
be brought to this country on man

ICE

Ice is a sort of petrified water. which is produced by cold waves in the win ter and by wicked trust employes in blue overalls in the summer. Like friendship. ice is the most plentiful thing In the world. when 1t isn't need Q ed. All winter long it Is a drug on the market One can so out of doors all most any time and fall down on 10000 tons of IL. spread out over the Ian d scape like veneer II coverss the rivers. lakes. ponds and railroad tracks. and 1t Is no trouble tor a mere amateur to make a nikers worth of 1t in an automobile radiator or a $500 plumbing installation.
 Along in May. however. when ice becomes useful. Ii goes away as thor oughly and abruptly ss mans cred it when he loses his job This compels us to buy IL all summer in huge chunks as half cent a pound. This Is a great grief 10 the tee men. who would have been able to sell 1t much cheaper if they had had the fore thought to harvest more of it in the winter.
 leo Is harvested by men in thick boots. who saw the top layer of 6 lake or river into 200 pound chunks and can the chunks in huge ware houses. with sa awdust between the lay CTS In the summer. it is hauled around in wagons and delivered by strong men who are always mad at something man can iift more Ice than almost anything else Men who couldn't budge 200 pounds of lead can often lift 200 pounds of ice with ono hand. after it has ridden around the city on a hot day for . few hours.
 Sometimes the weather gets 80 hot that Ice Is a positive necessity. Then the winter ice immediately becomes exhausted and artificial ice must be made. This Is done by filling large square cans with water and making a noise like Henry Cabot Lodge shak- Ing hands with an insurgent congress- man. close to the can.

Ice Is used to keep food from spoil ing. and make cold drinks with which to prevent the esophagus from be- coming overloaded In August, and smelling like burning overshoe. Ice is also used to keep milk sweet. so that babies may drink it. In the cities many thousands of babies die because of the heroism of the Ice men, who get together and hold up the price of ice. thus saving 1t from terrible fall When St. Peter sees an ice trust magnate coming he hur- riedly shuts the gate and puts putty ln the cracks.

APPEALED TO HOTEL CLERK
Fair Guest Applied for Object Not U.s.
ually Supplied by HosteIries,
but She Got 1t.

To be a successful hotel clerk you
must have an even temper There is
no man under the sun who has so
much to try his temper as a hotel
clerk. The night clerk of a certain
Baltimore hotel is young man with
the most polished manners. He Is
especially polite to the ladies', but a
few evenings ago he nearly lost his
equilibrium when a pretty guest asked
him to loan her an alarm clock.
II must get up very early tomorrow
morning." said the fair guest; cant
you loan me an alarm clock-one
that can depend on?"
II will have you called at any hour
you WISH" replied the clerk.
THAT won't do. You might forget
1t, and besides, I have no watch, and
If wake up during the night I like
to know the time"
The clerk suggested that there was
telephone in the room, but that
would not do. so he called the house
keeper. who loaned the fair guest an
alarm clock.
