ity of lessening educational expendi-
lures. The suggestion that the insti-

of 10 to 20 years. He said in closing
that the burden of the plea was in be
half of the retention of the state uni

saying that the commission could pass
on this in it's judicial capacity, that
it was so recognized by the induction

London. March S.-Frederick Townsend
Martin, wealthy New Yorker. social
worker and author, died to-day at the
Berkeley Hotel here from angina pectoris.
New York, March S--Frederick Town
send Martin suffered a nervous break
down in London last November. Recently
he leased number six Cumberland place,
furnished and intended to occupy the
premises about the 18th of this month. 1t
was his intention to spend a few months
in London each year.
Frederick Townsend Martin occupied
high place in society circles and his many
activities We're widely followed both here
and abroad. Member Of an old New York
family, brother of the late Bradley Martin
and related to the nobility of England.
Mr. Martin figured for years in social
events here and in Europe. But it was
his views in regard to the relations of
the rich to the poor, which he frequently
found the opportunity to express. which
won for him as much prominence as any
of his social activities
SOCIETY LEADER
Spoken of by many as the leader of
society in New York. and the successor
of Ward McAllister, Mr.. Martin was often
to be found with his friends at a Bowery
mission. entertaining the homeless and
the hungry. 1t was one of his purposes
in life, he said, to endeavor to bring cheer
to the friendless and to help them on 10
better ways. Society was at first startled
by this inn and then went to his
aid. His dinners to the homeless on the
East Side AT Christmas time came to be
well known events of the holiday season
A CAUSTIC CRITIC.
Mr.. Martin came into public notice ii
an even greater degree in 1911 with his
advent into the field of authorship. In hi,
writings he criticised caustically the ex
travagances of high society which he de
clared had been "eatng canker-like mucl
Of the best manhood and womanhood o
the country" He preached the gospel, h,
said that where idleness and eXtrava
gance creep in decay begins"
Frederick TOWNSEND Martin was
