WORLD LEADERS
 ON DEATH ROLL
Many Men Distinguished tn Business and Science Are Among Those Who Died During Past Year.

- A NicfA AlaAH Hb tAE FttI toN AFeiiAN its close. it seems as f death had enacted an unusual harvest from the ranks of men who had attained. for one reason or another, special prom thence in the theatre of the worlds activities Of course, no year passes without leaving an impressive necro- logical roll. but the one about to take it's departure mas made some rather startling ensures from the scroll of living fans
 Two rather interesting facts serve to distinguish the death list of 1913 from those of most previous years The first is that the names of com paratively few women are included, and the second is the almost total ab- sence of deaths by violence. Tine only person of world wide prominence who met a violent death during the year kas King George of Greece, who was assassinated by a fanatic.
 The American world of finance and industry has made distinguished con tributions to the mortality record, that of J. Pierpont Morgan naturally attracting the greatest measure of public attention. Other notables m the list were Henry M. Flagler, the Standard Oil snagnate and the rail road builder; Adolphus Busch, the St Louis brewer: Edward Morris, one of the heads of the Chicago meat pack ing industry: James R. Keene, fam Nr.I laf An thony N. Grady. lighting and traction magnate, and Benjamin Altman and
 Robert C. ogden. New York mer- chants
 in addition to Nr. Morgan and MT, Flagler, both powerful factors in the railroad world. there passed away during the year number of pronlin- ent railroad executives, active or re- tired. These included William w Fin ley. president of the Southern Rail way; Roswell Miller, president of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Louis; Thomas Nj. Emerson, president of the | Southern Railways Roswell Miller, president of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul; Thomas NJ. Emerson, president of the Atlantic Coast Line: James McCrea. former president O. the Pennsylvania Railroad: Horace G. Burt. former president of the Union Pacific. and J. R. Parrott president of the Florida East Coast Railway.
 The army and navy also have sus- tained serious losses, including Lieut.. Col. David Du Bose Gaillard, whc di- , rected the Culebra cut engineering work on the Panama canal, besides several other well known general off. cers. Eight rear admirals. active or ; retired, have joined the great major fly. Great Britain lost her famous soldier, Field Marshal Eiscount Vol. sley and Admiral Sir Archibald L. . Douglas, former Lord of the British Admiralty France lost Gen. Andre, her former war minister.
 ? Royalty made few contributions to 2 the mortality record of the year. With I. the exception of George ]. of Greece no religious monarch in Europe died during the twelve months. The Dow ager Empress of China passed away and Menelik Of Abyssiria was again
 reported dead. The British nobility lost the Duke of Abercorn and the D Duke of Sutherland. tlse latter one of F EnsIand's greatest land owners. 1, Death deprYed the College of Car
 dinals of five of its members, among them Cardinal Oreglia, the dean of 8 the Sacred College. and the famous Cardinal RampoIla. the former Papal
 Secretary of State, The most notable s loss in American church circles las y been the Rt. Rev. William Crosweli f Doane, the venerable Episcopal bisl-
 op of Albany. Other deaths recorded
 among American churenmen are those e of two Catholic bishops. Hogan of Il Kansas City and Kenny of St. Angus ;, tine.
 'A Some of the deaths of the year were | not unexpected. John fritz. famous v for the part he played in the devel :, opment of the iron and steel industrl
 in the United states. had passed his n ninetieth year. So had Alfred Rus 1- sell Wallace. the famous British
 scientist. Earl Nelson was in nj;
 ninetieth year and Sir Richard Scott
 senator and iong prominent figure is in Canadian public affairs, vas eighty :, eight.
 From the ranks Of politics and dip f lomacy have been taken many figure ,a of national or international promin
 ence. Here again. however, the for
 eign mortuary rule is far in exces of of that of tine United States. The grea
 majority of American statesmen an'
 diplomats who passed away Gurini
 the year had previously retired iron st the arena of public affairs. The mos n- notable exceptions were William ]
 Caynor, mayor of New York City H Jen Davis, United States senate e. from Arksnsazi Gen. JoseDa r John
 ston. united. Statss senator from Ala
 bsma. and Timothy L. Woodruff, for
 mer lieutenant governor Of New YoFl re and later a leader of tho Progressiy to party.
