SEN. BURLEIGH DEAD
Continued from Page One)

Hon. Edwin c. Burleigh, son of Hon.
Parker Prescott and Caroline Peabody
(Chick) Burleigh, was born in Linneus,
Aroostook county, Maine, November u,
1S43.
His paternal ancestors, since Giles Bur-
leigh came from England to America in
1913 and settled in Massachusetts. have
been increasingly active and prominent
in public affairs.
Colonel Moses Burlegh, the father of
Hon. Parker Prescott Burleigh. repre-
scented his district in the General Court
of Massachusetts in 1872, 1913 and 1916,
and in the Maine Legislature in 1871, 1873
and 1928. He was a member of the con-
vention which passed upon the returns
of the vote for separation of Maine from
Massachusetts, and he voted in favor of
Maine becoming an independent State.
Hon. Parker Prescott Burleigh, after
securing an excellent education, chiefly
through his own efforts, combined the vo-
cations of farmer and civil engineer AS
a surveyor he acquired an uneXcelled
knowledge of timber lands in the Maine
wilderness. and invested extensively in
this form of property. He served as post
master % years, as land agent eight years,
and as lieutenant colonel of the Seventh
Maine Regiment seven years. He held
the offices of county commissioner and
county. treasurer; was member Of the
Maine House of Representatives two ses-
sions 0S56-7) and of the Maine Senate four
sessions 0S64-65, 1s7-7s). and was chair
man Of the commission through whose
labors the famous Swedish colony in
Aroostook county was established in 1870.
Governor Burleigh, upon the death OF
Hon. Seth l.. Millken. representative to
Congress from Maine Third District, was,
in 1897 unanimously nominated by the
Republicans of that district to fill the
vacancy He was reelected to the Fifty
sixth, Fifty-seventh, Fifty-eighth, Fifty
ninth. Sixtieth and Sixty-first Congresses.
He carried with him to the National
House the same spirit of devotion to
Names interests and its peoples needs
that had characterized his services as
Governor of the State.
CONGRESSMAN Bur1eigh's first important
achievement was the apportionment bill
which saved to Maine four members in
the National House and won for him the
deserved support and ceaseless gratitude
of the entire State.
Governor Burleigh was elected to the
United States Senate by the Legislature
of 1913. There his relations with his col
leagues was to him source of constant
qualification He became acquainted with
every member Of that body. His expert
ence education. personal qualities and
past services which had so eminently
qualified him for the honor. made him
useful to his associates and to the coun-
try. His public service was thus rounded
out in a manner that was highly satisfac-
tory to him--in position where he could
return to his State and the nation the
utmost Of the best that was in him.
The death of Senator Burleigh's wife
about month ago at Washington was
the hardest blow Of his life, and while
he had exhibited rare fortitude and cour-
age in his bereavement. that is felt to
have been grief which he could not long
survive.

WILSON Note
TO MEXICO
COMPLETED
Substance Contained in
St. Louis Platform

Washington, June 16.-President Wilson
tirtually completed his reply to Gen. Car
ranza's note while Its substance was be-
ing written into the Democratic platform
at St Louis today. The reply itself may
not be dispatched for several days. but
administration officials indicated tonight
that Gen. Carranza had only to read the
party's Mexican plank to learn in advance
what the American note would say. The
plank, framed in large measure by the
President himself, is taken as conflrma-
ton that renewed border raids and the
anti-American demonstrations in Mexico
have not altered Mr. Wilson's determine
ton that Intervention will come only II

or through his failure to exercise control
over his army or people. The platform
declaration that intervention is revolving
to American minds is known to be the
Presidents fixed view. but the plain in
timation that it would not be shirked as
a last resort may also, officials think,
serve as a warning to the Mexican gov

put into final form at a conference to-
day between President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing will not be sent. it

arouse hostility unless Gen. Carranza
is deliberately set upon bringing on
clash with the United States. Firm
language is employed in refuting the
charges and insinuations of bad faith
contained in the Carranza communi-
cation.
Administration officials still feel
great anxiety as to what the result
may be when the note is delivered.
For this reason they are taking proper
precautionary measures, including
preparations for sending refugee ships
TO both Mexican coasts and for mo-
bilization Of a part or all Of the ma
tional guard.
