End Comes Suddenly Fol-
lowing What Seemed
Improvement
SENATE SHOCKED
BY THE NEWS
President Wilson Will Speak
\at the Funeral
Service

Washington, Feb. l6.-Augustus 0c-
tavius Bacon, United States senator from
Georgia for nearly 10 years, and chair
man of the foreign relations committee
since the ascendancy of the Democratic
party March A, 1913, died in hospital
here Saturday after an illness of 10 days.
He was the first United States senator
elected by direct vote of the people un-
der the 18th constitutional amendment.
Though Senator Bacon had been Sc
riously i'll with kidney trouble and COM
pllcations developing from broken rib,
his death was unexpected 1t came sud
denly at o'clock in the afternoon and
news of the end fell as shock upon
the Senate while it was in executive ses-
.sioil. The immediate cause OF the sena-
tors death was diagnosed as blood eliot
in the heart. Throughout the morning
he had been in good spirits and it was
announced to his colleagues that he was
feeling better than for several days.
Physicians had determined that an OPP
GRAFTON which had been contemplated
was unnecessary. Despite his rs years,
ii appeared that the afliiction from which
he suffered was OF recent origin and
specialists believed it would yield to
treatment. This conclusion relieved con-
siderably the anxiety of his friends and
associates in Congress.
Half an hour before his death, the
senator talked with his daughter, Mrs.
w. B. Sparkes of Georgia. She had just
left the room when he raised himself in.
bed. As Mrs. Sparkes entered the room
her father fell back in collapse. He new
er regained consciousness. In the alb
sence OF Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia,
Senator 0verman was notified and pro-
ceedings in the Senate were abruptly
halted when the North Carolina senator
announced the death. A brief resolu-
ton of respect was adopted and the SEN
ate adjourned.
For several minutes the senators,
shocked at the sudden tidings, remained
in the chamber discussing what should
be done, but later arrangements were
made for public funeral to be held in
the Senate chamber Tuesday afternoon
at o'clock to be attended by the Sem
ate and House of Representatives, the
president of the United States and his
cabinet, justices of the supreme court,
of the diplomatic corps, the
admiral of the navy and chief OF staff OF
the army. The scene on the floor of the
Senate was unusual. Not only had the
death of their colleague shocked the SEN
ators, but the effect of his loss at a time
when important foreign relations were
pending at once impressed itself upon
the minds of Democratic and Republican
leaders,

STRIKE INQUIRY
is AT A DEADLOCK
Question Is Whether Committee Shall
Investigate Christmas Eve Disaster
at Calumet, Mich.

Hancock Mich. Feb. l6.--Finding the
congressional subcommittee which is in.

full inquiry into the Italian hall disaster
Mt Calumet on Christmas eve, Chairman
Taylor Saturday sent telegram to Rep
resentatiye Foster, chairman of the
House committee on mines and mining,
urging the necessity Of the immediate
presence of Representative Hamlin Of
Missouri, the absent committeeman. II
developed Saturday night that Chairman
Taylor and Congressman Casey of Penn
sylvania have decided that it is within
the province of the committee to admit
into the record everything pertaining
to the seven subjects under inquiry.
Several days ago O. n. Hilton of counsel
for the Western Federation oil Miners
asked for a complete investigation of
the Calumet disaster as having an inn
portant bearing ON the deportation of
Chatles II. Meyer and G. H. Tanner, two
nights later. Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. Casey
agreed that the request should be com
Piled with, although Representative
Howell OF Utah the only Republican
member there at this time expressed
himself as opposed to aking up again
all the disagrecable details OF the calam-
ity. No answer had been given to Mr..
Hilton when Representative Switzer of
Ohio, another Republican, arrived and
the proposition was submitted TO him.
Mr.. Swtzer agreed with Mr.. Howell, and
as Mr.. TAYLOR and MIR. Casey had not
changed their minds there appeared to
be no hope of reaching an agreement in
the absence of the fifth member. An
urgent message was therefore sent TO
Chairman Foster of the full committee
at Denver requesting the attendance OF
Mr. Hamlin. The latter is Demo
crat.
A short session Saturday was devoted
by the committee to hearing six more
strikers. who gave testimony as to work
ing conditions in the mines. which they
described as bad. When the committee
adjourned until this morning, counsel for
the strikers stated that they had 100
more witnesses who were ready to tell
similar stories if the committee desires
to hear them. Should the Committee
decide to-day that it has heard enough
evidence from the strikers side, along
the line to which weeks time has al
ready been devoted, another subject will |
be gone into.

GEORGE VANDERBILT.
Owner of "Biltmore' Passes away
After Operation for Appendicitis.

Washington, March George W.
Vanderbilt, aged So, multimillionaire,
philanthropist and sportsman OF in
ternational reputation, died here at
/ o'clock this afternoon from heart
failure, following an operation fol
appendicitis Tuesday. His death came
suddenly.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was born in the old
Vanderbilt home at New Dorp, Sta
ten Island, N. Y, November IA, 1852.
In 1885 he became interested in the
wild region of western North Caro-
lima and by successive purchases he
accumulated an estate of 100000
acres on the French Broad river, and
laid out there a vast park and erect
ed buildings on a scale which has
seldom been equaled in this coun-
try. Mr.. Vanderbilt devoted most OF
his time to the personal supervision
of this estate. In the valley he built
a model town and called it Biltmore
His farms were filled with blooded
stock and he devoted thousands OF
dollars to the scientific conservation
of the forests which covered the
greater part of his property.
George Vanderbilt's fortune was
never a factor in Wall street. He
was supposed, however, to be one OF
Americas wealthiest men. He had
a H1mber of charities and he spent
money without stint upon the devel-
opment of his mountain estate. He
seldom went to New York, but spent
part of his summers at Bar Harbor,
Me-, where he had handsome home.
In 1898 Mr.. Vanderbilt married
Miss Edith Stuyvesant Dresser. Mrs.
Vanderbilt and one child, a daugh-
ter, survive him.

CHARLESTON AS Big PORT
TILLMAN WOULD HAVE SENATE
KNOW CITY'S ADVANTAGES.
Blames Railroads Them to
Build Proposed Piers, Put
Up or Shut Up"

Washington, March 10.-Charg-
ing that the Southern Railroad was
dominated by men not financially in
terested in coal mines in it's own ter
ritory, but in mines elsewhere, and
that for this reason the Southern was
not allowed to move coal through the
port of Charleston, Senator Tillman
to-day introduced a resolution for a
special investigation into advantages
of Charleston as permanent port of
coal distribution as compared with
Norfolk and other Chesapeake Bay
ports.
The committee would be directed
to investigate the character and prox-
unity of the coal supply; rates OBJ
tainable between railroads leading
into Charleston and other South At
lantic ports, and between these rail-
roads and owners of bituminous
fields in Virginia, West Virginia,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Ken
lucky; and conditions of ownership
of wharfage property in Charleston
and Norfolk.
Senator Overman suggested that
Wilmington and Newbern, N. c., be
added to the ports specifically men
toned in the Tillman resolution, but
Senator Swansea, of Virginia, who is
a member of the naval committee,
said: LET the resolution be referred
to the naval committee, and we'll all
add something" which was done.
Senator Tillman explained that his
object in introducing the resolution
was to smoke out the Southern and c.
C. and On railroads, and make them
90 ahead and build coal piers at Char
lesion. His idea, he said, is, to COM
pei the railroads to show their hand, :,
"to make them put up or shut up"
