NJ. e. Butler, great and

garner Of his Lord, He was for
years regarded as the leading
lawyer of Gainesboro, and was
recognized as the nestor of the
bar. He has left to his bereaved
family, as a heritage, a clean
pure life. He was a man of UNI
sullied character and unimpeach-
able integrity. He was a happy
illustration of what a man can
do by relying upon himself and
his Lord.
Many a time he has trimmed
the midnight lamp in the study
of his cases. He was worthy of
the relationship, which existed
between him and his noted kins-
man, George H. Morgan, de-
ceased. There was this differ
ence in the two men in the pro-
secution of their studies. Mr..
Butler trimmed the midnight
lamp, while George H. Morgan,
of an earlier date pursued his
studies by the light given by q
pine knot. The latter's college
was a little log school house on

mind, that after life's fitful few
err is over he rests well.

MUST RUSH PACT,
WILSON DECLARES
Sees War Menace in Further
Delayed Action on Co.
lombian Treaty.

Immediate action on the proposed treaty
with Colombia giving the Central Amer
lean republic s25.OOO.OOO for its share m
the Panama Canal deal was demanded
OF the Senate yesterday by President
Wilson in a letter to Senator Stone,
chairman of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee. The President asked that every
effort be made to confirm the treaty be-
fore the present session Of Congress ends
on March 4. He stated it's ratification was
of pressing necessity.
Senator Stone said last night that he
would lay the Presidents letter before
the Foreign Relations Committee tomor-
row and seek to press the treaty, which
has been held up in the Senate several
years
1t was stated that the desire OF the adj
mtntstration for the ratification of the
treaty rests on the apprehension II At
Colombian resentment II the treaty is &C.
layed might be used by any nation at
odds with the United States as a mes ms
of threatening the Panama Canal.
Many Senators said last night that
they believed II would prove practically
impossible to put the Colombian treaty
through during the present session. The
opposition to the agreement has been
vigorous and determined, and is powerful
enough to block its consideration, 1t was
stated.
1t was learned last night that the
present International situation has also
prompted the administration to ask Con-
gressiOnal leaders to speed up the legis-
lation providing the s25,OO0.O0O TO pay for
the Danish West Indies, and providing a
form OF government for the new posses
sions. The President, It was stated, de-
sires to have the transfer Of the islands
complete in the event Of further COM
pliCatiOns with Germany.
