Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States Succumbs to Malady Diagnosed as Gradual Heart Failure
WAS FIVE YEARS
 ON THE BENCH
Had Distinction of Being One of Few Appointed to High Position by Prcsi- dent of all Opposite Po- litical Faith

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2-Joseph Fucker Lamar. associate justice of the supreme court of the United States. died at his home here tonight. after an illness of several months He was 5S years old and had been on the supreme bench five years.
 The immediate cause of death was gradual heart failure. hastened by i'm flammation of one of the lungs which had threatened to develop into pneu- mUnid. The attending physician de clared. however. that the primary cause was overwork due to the ardu- ous duties of member of the su- preme court and as commissioner of the United States in 1914 to the me diation conference between the United States and Mexico at Niagara Falls
 Exhausted by last years term of court. Justice Lamar went to White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. in June He improved until September when clot in an artery caused him to lose the use for time of his left arm and leg. IL was sometime before he re- covered from this attack.
 About a week ago the justice con tracted a cold. His Wea akened heart
 was unable to bear the added burden of this Inflammation.
 About nine o'clock this morning his
 condition was noted to be critical
 The system had ceased to throw off
 the normal poisous. In the afternoon. after recognizing his wife and two sons, Philip and William. he dropped off to sleep. Gradually his respira
 tion grew less frequent until at SEQ tonight he gave a long sign of relief and was dead
 Arrangements for the funeral were not completed tonight but the burial will take place at Augusta. Georgia. for many years the home of the jus
 tiCe. The funeral party will leave Washington for Augusta Tuesday at
 9 D. m.
 Had Justice Lamar lived until to- morrow noon he would have com pleted five years service on the su- preme court bench
 About the time Justice Lamar re- turned to Washington last fall a move was started to have congress reg;ss7-r so as to enable him to retire on full pay. At that time Secretary Lane of the interior department and Solicitor General John W. Davis were men toned in discussions of his possible successor. It is believed that Fresi- dent Wilson will act al once in filling the varanCy because of the important cases now awaiting consideration be- fore a full court

 WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.-AnXiety over the sinking of the British steam ship Persia increased in official cir cles here today when consular dis patch brought the information that the ship had been torpedoed without warning and that at least one Amer jean citizen, Robert N.

 Judgment should be withheld pending receipt of the facts surround ing the sinking of the steamship Per sia" said Baron Zweidinek. It may have happened in many ways. Tn the first place, it is not yet proved that submarine sank the Persia. If it was an Austrian submarine it must be de- termined whether the circumstances were such as to warrant the action taken
 "I am confident at least I hope. that the final explanation will be quite satisfactory. ff the commander of the sbumariue disobeyed his in- structions [ feel sure my government will not hesitate to satisfactorily ad- just the matter.
 From the answer made to the last note on the Ancona alone, it is quite evident that the Austro Hungarian government will not countenance any act which is wrong
 Complete confidence prevails in Teutonic diplomatic circles that if an Austrian submarine sank the Persia without warning the act would be dis avowed promptly, reparation made for Americans lost and the submarine commander severely punished
 It is understood that Baron Zwei- dinek will call upon Secretary Lansing tomorrow for the purpose of infor- mally conveying his views on the sub ject and endeavorins to gain an un- derstanding of the views of the Unit
