JUSTICE LAMAR DIES
Justice of U. s. Supreme Court Victim
of Observation-Disclosures Not
Appointed.

No intimation has yet come from
President Wilson as to whom he will
appoint to the United States supreme
bench to succeed the late Justice
Lamar, who died Sunday evening,
but it is expected that the appoint
ment will be made without much
delay. Justice Lamar's funeral was
held at Augusta, Fla, Wednesday,
the ceremony being quite simple.
Justice Lamar died at his home in
Washington. D. c., Sunday evening,
after an illness Of several months.
He was SO years old and had been on
the supreme bench five years.
Associate Justice Lamar. who was
Democrat, had the distinction of
being one of the few members of the
court appointed by president of OPP
posite political faith. President Taft
appointed him in 1910, with only two
presidents for such action, those Of
Justices Jackson and Lurton.
Early in his service on the supreme
bench he became recognized as one
of the most powerful members. His
opinions were finished works Of logic.
Applications for rehearings were rare
in cases decided.
Coming to Washington as a man
little known beyond his state, his rise
in public estimation as a member of
the court led President Wilson to Sc
lect him as the principal commission
er for the United States in the A B c
mediation at Niagara Falls in 1914
between the United States and Mex
leo over conditions in the Southern
republic. In this position he acQuit-
ted himself with distinction.
The immediate cause Of death was
gradual heart failure, FASTENED by in
hammation Of one of the lungs which
had threatened to develop into pneu-
monia.
