u. S. SUPREME COURT
JUSTICE LURT0N DEAD
Venerable Lawyer Was Appointed BY
President Taft--Body to Be
Taken to Washington.

Atlantic City, July IA. - Horace
Harmon Lurton, associate justice Of
the United States Supreme court, died
In his apartments In a beach front
hotel. The cause Of death was heart
failure. Justice Lurton was in his
SEVENTEEN year.
The body will be taken to Washing
ton this afternoon In a private car
attached to one of the regular trains.
Justice Lurton was born at New
port, KY, and after being graduated
from Cumberland university was adj
mitted to the bar in 1867. He served
three years in the Confederate army
during the Civil war. He was ap-
pointed chancellor of the sixth chan
Gerry division of Tennessee from 1875
to 1873, when he resigned and re-
turned to private practise.
In 1886 he was elected judge of the
supreme court of Tennessee and in
1898 he was elected chief justice, re-
signing to accept an appointment by
President Cleveland as United States
circuit judge in the sixth circuit. On
this bench for years he was assoctat-
ed with former President Taft, which
association led Taft to appoint him to
the United States Supreme court in
1909, despite criticism that he would
favor the corporations.
1t was charged that in cases analo-
gous to the Standard Oil case Judge
Lurton had invariably leaned toward
construction of the law favorable
to the corporation defendants. And
particularly in his decision on the
safety appliancei law. which was
sharply criticized, he was charged
with having pointedly disagreed with
the construction of the law by the SUI
preme court.
He was dean of the law department
and professor of constitutional his
tory at Vanderbilt university.

State treasurer-Joseph Fisher,

The fact that Paul o. Husting of
Mayville and John A Aylward of Ma

governor respectively, independent of
any conference, insures a spirited con-
test within the Democratic ranks at
the primary election.
The platform adopted, among other
things, strongly indorses the national
administration, insists upon radical
reduction in state taxes, favors the
abolition of all unnecessary state
boards and commissions and wherever

BRYAN ASKS i. s.
TO PAY COLOMBIA
Says Pay Whether America Is
Right or Not.
SUM SHOULD BE- LARGER
Secretary of State Declares "ThIs Ma
ton Can Afford to BE Generous;
Friendships Cannot Rest
Upon Force"

Washington, July 14.-The following
plea for the ratification of the Colon
bian treaty was made public by Sec
rotary of State Bryan:
"As the terms of the Colombian
treaty have been published and are
now before the senate for ratification.
the following statement may assist the
public to form an opinion upon the
merits of the question.
1.-THE present administration found
an enlargement existing between the
United States and Colombian es-
arrangement that has continued Tor
nearly thirteen years. AS the normal
relation between nations Is one OF
Friendship 1t Is desirable that differ
ences shall be adjusted and cordial re-
lations resumed.
Our nation being much the larger
and having refused to arbitrate, takes
upon itself the responsibility Of doing
justice to Colombia Not only is 1t our
duty to do Justice to Colombia, but IN
case of doubt as to what is just, we
must resolve that doubt against our
selves and in favor Of Colombia.
Colombia feels that she has been
aggrieved and whatever may be SAID
as to whether this feeling is 1ustined,
no one will deny that she has sus-
tanned great financial loss in the sep
aration OF Panama from her.
Before the separation took place
this government offered Colombia $1O,-
100000 for the canal route and $780,
900 year for 100 years. This annuity
might be capitalized at about $780,
900, SO that this governments estimate
of the loss suffered by Colombia could
not be less than about 17,5OO,OO0.
"But that estimate was made upon
the supposition that Colombia would
retain the state or department OF
Panama. The retention Of Panama
would have given to Colombia not only
the value of Panama but the incidental
benefits to be derived from proximity
to the canal We cannot deny, then
that the actual loss to Colombia was
considerably more than $25,OOO,OOO.
"If the cordial relations are to be
restored with Colombia they must be
restored on basis that Is satisfac
tory to Colombia. Friendships cannot
rest upon force; neither can they rest
upon acquiescence In the power OF
might.
"We must satisfy their sense OF JUS
tice although less sum might satisfy
our sense of justice. In every settle
ment there must be concessions, and
our government has not conceded more
than the rights of the situation de
mand.
1.-THE ratification of the Colombo
treaty will restore the friendly rela
tons which for a century preceding
1903 existed between Colombia anC
the United States.
This nation can afford to be just;
even more, it can afford to be gener
Gus in the settling of disputes, espe
cially when by it's generosity it can in
crease the friendliness of the many
millions in Central and South America
with whom our relations become daily
more intimate"

Six Million Belgians Homeless.

without country. Foodstuffs, forage,

wandered by the Belgian army when
the war broke out, have been seized by
the Germans. Practically every acre is
now swept OF everything valuable.
1t is estimated that there are now
100000 Belgians in England and S00,-
900 in Holland. The lowest estimate
made here places the number OF Bel
gian homes destroyed or SO badly dam
aged as to be uninhabitable at one mill

smaller places have been so shattered
by the artillery fire Of the opposing

NAL population are decently sheltered.

supplies for the bread line have been
exhausted, and the feeding can be re-
sumed only when American food ar
rives.

narily imported from the United States
