GENERAL FUNSTON
DIED SUDDENLY

San Antonio, Tex, Feb. 19.-Major
General Frederick Funston, COM
mander of the southern department,
dropped dead following dinner at
the st. Anthony hotel tonight. A COM
panion of the general stated that he
ate very sparingly and declined rich
foods. When offered a lobster cock
tail, he declined, saying:
"You will have to excuse me as |
have had several attacks of acute in
digestion lately"
Shortly after the dinner General
Funston, accompanied by his Friend,
proceeded to the lobby where his
companion suggested they sit and lis
ten to the music. Seated just across
from the general was a little girl.
General FUNSTON motioned for her
to come over. At this moment his
companion remarked:
Isn't that the Blue Danube
waltz"
General Fusion replied:
No, l don't think it is"
He listened for few minutes and
remarked:
Yes, believe il is. 1t is the old
tunes that sound good"
His companion noticed that one OF
General Funston's feet which was
resting against post slid from Its
position General Funston closed his
/ eyes and his compassion supposed, as
is the custom with many people, that
General Funston had relaxed his po-
sition and closed his eyes in medita
ton
The general began to breathe heav
lily and acted if he were trying tC
sneeze, says his companion. His com.
panion noticed the generals heavy
breathing and asked if he was i'll.
Dead When Doctor Arrived
General Funston did not reply, and
his friend called doctor, and when
he arrived General Funston was dead
There are two theories regarding
the death of General Funston One
is that death was caused by heart
trouble, and the other, and most
probable theory is that acute indiges-
tion was the cause of his death. Gen
eral Funston had been suffering from
acute Indigestion for the past few
weeks and had been unable to see
newspaper men on several occasions
on account of this illness, but as the
general would be absent one day, on
account of his illness, then report
next day in good spirits and appar-
emily in good health, 1t was assumed
that his condition was not serious.
General Funston died from angina
sclerosis, an affection of the arteries
of the heart, according to Lieutenant
Colonel Ireland;,under whose care
General Funston has been for two
weeks.

paper to the stock car climbing in high
gear to the highest point on Mount
Diabie, near Oakland The summit of
the MOUNTAIN is nearly 1000 feet above
sea level.
Corbin drove the Haynes thirty-six
feet beyond the point reached by the
previous holder Of the cup. which was
the first put up early last spring and
has been held by several makes of mo-
tor cars since that time. Rivalry for
its possession has been spirited as
Mount Dhblo Is declared TO represent
the hardest high-gear test in the world.
Before the Haynes made its record, it
was thought that the final mark had
been set and that permanent posses
sion of the coveted trophy already was
secure.
The climb on Mount Diablo repre-.
sents nearly eleven miles, every mile
being over a widening grade that even
tually reaches an altitude of 1867 feet
above sea level. Nearly all cars re-
quire the constant use of second gear to
make the climb. and then resort to
low gear on the final steep pitch. The
point reached by Corbn was half way
up this last stretch, and every inch
NJ the thirty-six feet past the form

One of the most remarkable features
Of the record set by the Haynes was
that the motor never showed at any
time the last evidence of heating.
The motor.meter on the radiator did
not give n single indication OF the
struggle for mastery over grades that
the motor went through to win the
most coveted high gear trophy in the
entire west. This Haynes which had
only run 265 miles before the start of
the test, gave one Of the most re-
markable demonstrations possible for
