NEW YORK. May 3.-Charles Edgar
Littlefield. former representative from
Maine, who had lived in New York since
he resigned from Congress in 1908, died
yesterday morning at the PoSt-Grad-
uate Hospital from an embolism fol-
lowing an operation performed about
ten days ago.
Mr. Littletield was elected to Congress
June 10, 1899, to fill out the uneX-
PRED term of Nelson Dingley. author
of the Dingley tariff. who had died IN
office He was an insurgent by temper
ament-not a radical insursent. such AS
those who broke away later when the
Payne Aldrich tariff was up for pas
sage, but an insurgent according TO
his own views. His first speech was
made in the case of the exclusion from
the House of Brigham Fl. Roberts, the
poIygamist. elected to seat from
Utah. and he took the unpopular side.
Personality Wins Success.
Then the republican organization put
through its bill for q tariff with Porto
Rico. and again MIR. Iittlefield was an
insurgcnt. He disagreed with the party S
policy on the Cuban reciprocity bill New
ertheless, by the force of his person
ality he was making hs own way, and
winning his own reputation. His dis
trict reelected him to the FIfty-SeV-
enth, Ffty-eighth. F'iftyninth and Six
tieth Congresses. and he soon acquired
a wide reputation through the rlgor OF
his oratory and his firmness in stand
ing out for his own views.
Mr. Littlefieid was called into confer
ence by President Roosevelt when he
first began TO consider antitrust legis-
Iation and for q time there was 4 report
that he would handle the legislative end
of the campaign. A series of newspaper
attacks. however. had the effect of sew
ering his close relations with the Presi-
dent who took UP another line of less
vigorous action against the corpora
tions: so Mr.. I.itt1etield, who Introduced
an antitrust bill which he thought at
the time had the support of the admin
stration, found his mistake when 1t
failed Of passage and other measures

SUGGESTS SHIP LINES
FOR TRADE PROMOTION
Chilean Delegation to Pan-American
Financial Conference to Submit
Proposition.

Establishment of new ship lines be-
tween the United States and the west
coast of South America will be pro-
posed to the Pan American Financial
Congress. meeting in Washington May
a, by the Chilean delegation. The del
esation arrived in New York yesterday
Senior Don Luis Izquierdo of the dele
cation states that the principal in
struction to the delegation is to pro-
mote the proposition for increased
transportation facilities. This will be
the main purpose of its mission.
Need Is Emphasized.
The need of merchant marine. said
Senior Izquierdo, has been impressed
upon the people of Chile and of South
America generally by the withdrawal
of European shipping from both the
Pacific and Atlantic coasts because of
war conditions The people of the
western coast in their opinion require
a merchant marine of their own.
1T will be my endeavor, he contin-
ued, ito obtain the cooperation of the
people of the United States in build
ing up a merchant marine which will
safeguard us against future dearth of
facilities and commercial disaster.
Favors Mutual Subsidy Plan.
Il am in favor of mutual subsidy, and
mean by that both the United States
and Chile. and perhaps other South
American countries. shall by financial
aid assist in the establishment of di-
rect steamship services. Let the United
States and Chile start the movement.
II other South American countries wish
our ships to call at their ports they
can bear their share of the burden.
THE first effect of the adoption of
such a plan would be closer business
and social rela tons between the United
States and South American countries.
Valparaiso is now twenty-three days
