neral Services Monday.

AUGUSTA. Me-. June II. - United
States Senator Edwin c. Burleigh died
last night at his residence here.
The senator's death was due to acute
Indigestion. He was i'll only a few
hours. His wife died a month ago in

gusta at $3.50 o'clock Monday afternoon.
Governor Must Call Election.
Under the law in Maine the governor
is not empowered to appoint a success
sor to Senator Burleigh. but must call
an election for the purpose Of choosing
his successor. The primary for the
election of nominees for the Senate
takes place in Maine Monday, when
nominees for the place now held by
Senator Johnson are to be chosen.
There is considerable speculation in
Washington today as to what course

ate John ]. McGrain has telegraphed
to Maine to ask what shall be done
about a committee of the Senate
attending the funeral.

In Ill Health Many Years.

The report Of the death Of Senator
Burleigh was received by his col
leagues with much regret. Senator
Burleigh had been in i'll health ever
since he entered the Senate in March.
1913. and his death was not unex-
pected.
Senator Burleigh was born in Lin
neus, Aroostook county, Me-, November
81, 1S43, and was in his seventy fourth
year. He was the son of the late
Parker B. Burleigh, and spent his
youth on his fathers farm in the Maine
backwoods. He volunteered for service
in the army when the civil war broke
out, but poor health and immaturity
caused his rejection. He was appointed
a clerk in the adjutant generals Office,
however.
At the close of the war Senator Bur-
leigh taught school and did surveying.
He became clerk in the general land Of
fee in 1870, and was state land agent
from 1876 to 1873.
His next Office was that OF assistant

BETTER BLOCKADE PLAN
FRAMED BY ENTENTE

LONDON. June 17.-As result of the
discussion Of the blockade at the re-
cent allied conference In Paris. con-
clusions were reached which will re-
move many misconceptions on the part
of neutrals. according to Lord Robert
Cecil, minister of war trade, who at
tended the conference as a British rep
resentative. What these conclusions
were. Lord Robert would not state, but
he, asserted that the blockade would
work better as a result of the confer
ence.
Asked II there would be a Tightening
of the blockade, Lord Robert paused
for long time before answering, then
he replied with a laugh: There will
be no slackening." Further than that
he would not commit himself.
Lord Robert reiterated that the allies
did not wish to interfere with neutral
trade except such as was to the benefit
of hostile countries.
