Washington, Feb. 16.-Augustus Oc-
tavius Bacon, United States senator
from, Georgia for nearly nineteen
years and chairman of the foreign re-
lations committee since the ascen-
dency of the Democratic party, March
4, 1918, died in a hospital here Satur-
day after an illness of ten days. He
was the first United States senator
elected by direct vote of the people
amendment.
Though Senator Bacon had been Sc
riously i'll with, kidney trouble and
complications developing from a
broken rib. his death was unexpected.
1t came suddenly, and news of the end
fell upon the Senate as n shock while
1t was in executive session.
The immediate cause of the sena-
tors death was diagnosed as blood
clot In the heart. Throughout the
morning he had been in good spirits,
and it was announced to his col
leagues that he was feeling better
than for several days. Physicians had
determined that an operation which
hdu DetH CoHttiupldltu WAS uHheCeo-
sary. Despite his 10 years, it ap-
peared that the affliction from which
he suffered was of recent origin and
specialists believed it would yield to
treatment.
Half an hour before his death the
senator talked with his daughter,
Mrs. w. b. Sparks of Georgia. She
had Just left the room when he
raised himself in bed. AS Mrs. Sparks
re-entered the room her father fell
back In collapse and never regained
consciousness.
A Senate committee was informally
appointed to consult with the deceased
senator's daughter as to her wishes, it
being the hope of his colleagues that
a state funeral could be held in keep
ing with the high position Senator Ba-
con held in the services of the nation.
Vice President Marshall, Senators
Kern, Overman, Swanson and Sauls-
bury hurried to the hospital, and after
comforting, announced that the funeral
would be held in the Senate chamb"'
Tuesday. The body of the senator will
then be taken to Atlanta and will lie
in state in the Georgia capital
Wednesday before being taken to Ma
cor for burial.
