DEATH ENDS LONG
CAREER Of CULL0M
FOR FIFTY YEARS FORMER ILL.,
NOIS SENATOR HAD BEEN IN
PUBLIC SERVICE.

Washington. Jan. 2S.-FOrmer Uni
ted States Senator Shelby NJ. Cullon
of Illinois died here today. His
death ended fifty years of continu-
Gus public service that had made
him a figure in American national
life and brought him into official
relations with every president from
Abraham Lincoln to Woodrow Will
son. President Taft once said OF
him:
"Why, here's my old friend Uncle
Shelby; he comes nearer connecting
the present with the days of Wash
ington than anyone else whom |
know"
As a ploughboy driving his faith
er's oxen over the fresh prairies OF
Illinois he had known and talked
with survivors of the Revolution and
on the rugged foundations or a IRE
begun in pioneer har1ships of a fam
lily of twelve children, had built a
career that took him to the Illinois
legislature as member; speaker
of the assembly; two terms in the
governors chair; service in the ma
tional house of representatives, and
thirty consecutive years in the Tni
ted States senate.
His nearest living contemporary
probably is Uncle Joe" Cannon,
whose senior he was some seven
years by birth and some three years
in national service
Andrew Jackson was president OF
the United States when Mr.. Cullom
was born in 1929 down in the Elk
Spring valley of Kentucky, near the
Cumberland, where the Culloms Of
Maryland and the Coffeys of North
Carolina, drifting westward with the
tides of immigration that set in at
the close of the Revolution, found
ed their early home.
He entered the senate in 1888, a
spry, active man OF fifty-four he
left it in 1913 a fading, tottering
man of eighty-four but with brain
still bright and active.
During the last few years his
friends had seen him slowly fading
away in body and he became so fee
BILE that his voice in the senate
chamber was not heard further than
the clerks desk His term ended
March 5, 1913, and he was appoint

ial commission. created by congress
10 superintend the erection of the
100000 memorial in this city. The
one wish expressed on his deathbed
was that he might live to see theI
completion of the national memorial
to his old friend.

concern contracts with the govern
ment He said a plant that would
produce 10000 tons of armor year
would cost the government $1,000,
600; one of 10000 tons capacity,
SS,O00,000 and one of 5000 tons
capacity $6,OOO,OOO.
Secretary Daniels is expected to
outline the administrations naval
policies to the committee later In
the week.
Admiral Geo. Dewey, as the head
of the general board of the navy,
has been invited by the committee
to give his views on the naval ap-
preparation bill under discussion. The
general board views on the program
for the increase of the navy conflict
sharply with those of the navy de-
partment. The general board rec
commended the construction Of four
battleships, sixteen destroyers and
eight torpedo boats. much more
extensive program than that recon-
mended by Secretary Daniels.
Admiral Dewey has been indis-
posed for some time, and he is un-
able to appear before the committee
because of i'll health. Admiral Vree-
land, the next ranking member OF
the general board, probably will rep
resent the body.

THE REUTER- TRIAL
NEARING A CLOSE
VERDICT EXPECTED ABOUT FRI.
DAY-JUOGE INSTRUCTS JURY
-ARGUMENTS BEGIN.

Bartlesvilfe Okla, Jan PA jury
in the district court soon will deter
mine the fate of Laura NJ Reuter-, on
trial for her life in the district
court The jury is composed of ten
farmers, one retired farmer ana a
teamster
Arguments were started Tuesday
morning after Judge r. c. Allen
read his Instructions to the jury.
The instructions touched principally
upon conspiracy resulting in death
and the testimony of an accomplice,
which the court said must be cor
roborated by the testimony of com
petent witnesses before a conviction
can be found There were twenty
instructions; no insnuation was
made as TO the penalty. 1t is eX-
pected the case will go to the jury

she collapsed while leaving the
courthouse. If an unfavorabe YER

of the acccsed woman Is expected.
Unexpected developments arose
at the opening of court this morning
when Judge Allen did not rule upon
legal question which arose yes
terday and which caused an adjourn
ment. 1t was when Prosecutor Nal
10y asked to be heard when the
court sustained the objection of the
defense over Bud" Bellew telling
the full story he is alleged to have
had with Attorneys Biddison and
Campbell in the Tulsa county Jail,
Just before he made a confession.
Dora Bellew, sister of Bud" was
called as a witness in rebuttal this
morning, but again the court sus-
tanned the objections of the defense
as to the conversation she is alleged
to have had with Harry Campbell
over the confession of her brother,
and other statements.
That there are many persons who
believe in the innocence of the ac-
cused woman was manifested at the
close of Deputy County Attorney Nat
Ligon's address when Kisses were
heard in the audience Judge Allen
warned the crowd that if there was
another repetition expressing any fa-
vor or disfavor he would have the
guilty persons jailed for contempt
of court When court adjourned |
this afternoon Attorney Ben Thomp-
son had not concluded his address.
Many bets are being made as to the
outcome of the trial. Odds of to
are offered that the accused woman
will be acquitted; and even money
