HAD LENGTHY CAREER

Washington, Jan. 27.-Former Unit
ed States Senator Shelby NJ. Cullou
is much weaker and his physicians dc
not expect him to live through the
night. He has been in a coma prac.
tically all day.
Former United States Senator
Shelby M. Cullom, of Illinois, was and
remained a figure of national import
ance for more than thirty years, and
held public office for more than half
a century.
He began his political career in
1856, when after being admitted to
the Illinois bar he was elected Ctr
Attorney for Springfield. Almost i'm
mediately he was elected member
of the House of Representatives of
the Illinois Legislature and was re-
elected in 1860, serving until 1865
when he was elected to the National
House of Representatives. He served
in the Thirty-ninth, Fortieth and
Forty-first Congresses, from Deem
Der 4, 1865, to March 3, 1871. He went
back to ILLINOIS and again was elect
ed to the state legislature in 1872
serving until 1875. In 1871 and 1871
he was elected Speaker of the State
House of Representatives. He was
elected Governor of the State in 1876
and succeeded himself in $780, He
served until Feb. 5, 1883, when he re-
signed, having been elected to the
United States senate He took his
seat on December 4, 1888, and served
continuously until March 3, 1913.
The Cullom family like the Lincoln
family were Kentuckians, who emf
grated to Illinois early in the sos.
Shelby Moore Cullom was born in
Wayne County, Kentucky, on Novem-
Der %, 1929. When the family NOV
ed to Illinois. he received his educa-
ton in a little log schoolhouse and
at home. AS he grew up he had less
and less time for schooling and was
compelled to aid his father on their
farm. Later he taught school and
finally in 1858, upon the advice of Alb
raham Lincoln, whom he had met, he
went to Springfield and began the
study of law.
One of the surprises of the Illinois
primaries in 1912 was the defeat of
Senator Cullom for denomination. He
had held his offit'e for such lengthy
period that he had begun to be looked
upon as fixturein the Senate. Com
PEELED to retire when the old Con-
gress went out last March, he was
made chairman Of the Lincoln Me-
mortal Committee and devoted most of
his time to that body.
Senator, Cullom always has been
identified with the Republican party
and was a, strong factor in tine party

Judge Asher after hearing the argu-
ments announced that he would begin

London, Jan. 13.-The internation- al conference on safety of life al sea, which has been holding it's sessions here since last November, is in dan ger of splitting on the same rock that wrecked the first international com mittee, called in 1899, to settle the complications arising from the Alas kan boundary.

 United States Senator J.
