SENATOR NEWLANDS
OF NEVADA IS VICTIM
OF HEART DISEASE
Stricken While at Work IN
His Office Expires After
Few Hours

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Fran
els Griffith Newlands, of Nevada, died
of heart failure at his home here last
night, after an illness of a few hours.
He was stricken while at work in his
office at the senate office building dur.
ing the afternoon, but was able to go
home, and the capital knew nothing of
his illness until the announcement of his
death.
No one realized the seriousness of the
senator 8 condition and physician was
not called until late this evening. Then
the heart attacks had become acute.
The end came suddenly at 10:15 O'Clock
as Mrs. Newlands and her brother
watched at the bedside.
For several weeks Senator Newlands.
working almost day and night on his
preparations for an investigation of
wartime transportation problems, mad
been in weakened state of health. He
kept at his desk, however, in spite of
his SO years and appeared alert and ac-
tive.
The senator was born near Natchez,
Miss, August 2S, 1S48, and lived in the
state until he went to Yale in 1867.
After nearly two years at Yale he en-
tered Columbian college law school here
and graduated, being admitted to the
District of Columbia bar before he re-
ceived his diploma.
From Washington he went to San
Francisco, where he practiced law until
1888. He then became a citizen of Ne
vada and was elected to the 53rd, 54th,
55th, 56th and 57th congresses.
Succeeding Senator John P. Jones, re.
publican, in the senate on March 4, 1904
Senator Newlands soon became an ae-
tive member of that body and when the
democrats gained control was made head
of the interstate commerce committee.
In 1908 he was reelected by a large ma
jority.
As chairman of the joint congression.
al committee on transportation prob
lens, as well as of the interstate com
merce committee, the senator was prom
inently identified with considerable of
what the government is to do about the
railroads during the war. He had con-
ferred with the president several times
and at the president IS request deferred
hearings the Interstate Commerce Com.
hisSAVH was preparing 70 sJdIb uHlh III
ter the Christmas holidays.
The senator's chief interest for years
has been in railways and in the develop

for transportation and for irrigation. He
was universally regarded as the pre-em-
inent expert on them in the senate and
probably in congress.

Washington, Dtc. 25.-Christmas il
a war ridden world found the Star:
and Stripes today ripping over holiday
celebrations of more embattled Ameri
cans in more corners of the earth than
ever before.
In improvised cities, dotting Ameri
ca, there was Christmas cheer for ma
tional army and national guard men
Along the battle front in France, Sam
mics found joy in gifts from home and
from a new Santa Claus, the American
Red Gross. On mighty battleships and
rowing destroyers there was Christmas
spirit, while German U-boats prowled
at hand not comprehending, for what
has a God Of blood and iron to do with
yuletide? American eagles and Ameri
can wings, run by great warm hearts
of pulsing steel, flew high in the heav-
ems carrying the spirit of Christmas
even into the clouds.
Spangled, tinseled Christmas trees
some of them no more than wisp Of
evergreen-sent forth a hallowed light
through many lanes
Some of America s warriors tossed
on beds of PAIN, i'll of exposure or torn
by war For them, the Red Cross was
Santa Claus as it was to men in the
trenches and to the wistful children of
France. In every base hospital in
France the great relief society had east
its cheer, while many French children
robbed of parents and home by the
Huns, had something in their wooden
shoe from the Red Cross so that he
might know after three Christmasless
years that joy still rules in world
upset.

ed. Cabinet officials attended church
and had Christmas celebrations for
their children Out through the land
