REPRESENTATIVE s. }. TRIBBLE.

l Representative Samuel ]. Tribble of
Georgia died today at Providence Hos
pital, where he had been confined for
three days following stroke of apo
pleXy.
He had been in perfect health up to
the time he fell i'll in his office in the

gress. In the present session Repre-
sentative Tribble was rounding out his
third term.

es. Previous to that he served hve
years as solicitor of the city court of
Athens, Ga, and four years as solicitor
general of the western circuit of Geor-
gia He was popular in his district,
which embraces thirteen counties, ana
in Congress he was looked upon as a
most effective legislator. His principal
work on general lines was in the naval
affairs committee, he being the fifth
member of the majority on that com
mittee.
To Provide Proper Escort
Arrangements were made by the SER
geant-at-arms of the House today to
provide a proper escort to accompany
the body to Representative Tribble's late
home at Athens, Ca The House was

ter. Mrs Samuel J. Dick of Atlanta, Ga,

band was stricken, but hurried here to
