BEN R. TILLMAN,
SENATOR FOR "a
YEARS, Is DEAD
Death Followed Brilliant Ca
reer in Congress -Uncon-
scious Since Thursday.
(Ey Associated Press,

!
WASHINGTON, July 3.-Senator
Benz. R. Tillman, of South Carolina
l7dfed this morning ct 4sap O'Clock.
Senator Tillman suffered a cere-
breal Eemorrhage last Thursday and
had been in an unconscious condition
since that time. The stroke affected
the entire left side.
The senator had been a member OF
the United States senate since 1894
His term would have expired March
3, 1919.
Benjamin Ryan Tillman was one of
the most extraordinary members OF
the United States senate in which
body he served continuously for TWEEN,
tyfour years. During the latter part
of his service he was chairman OF
the naval affairs committee of the
senate and his work in that position,
after the United States entered the
great war, was considered by his col
leagues to be of great value.
AS senator, Mr., Tillman quickly
won a wide reputation through the
country for plainness and bluntness of
speech which, combined with his ap-
parent rough exterior and somewhat
careless manner of dress made him a
unique figure IN congress. No one at
tracted more attention when he rose
to speak in the senate. His language
was always dramatic and he called
things by their simplest names. He
often referred to himself as the corn
field lawyer but it was believed he
did so only for the purpose of showing
how little some of the lawyers knew
on some Of the intricate questions
where common sense was more de-
sirable than legal technicalities.
Within a month after he took his
seat in the senate. following his first
election to that body in 1894. Senator
Tillman won his picturesque nick
name OF "Pitchfork Ben a character
ization which he did not resent. In a
speech he shattered all the traditions
of the senators by taking the floor SO
soon after becoming a member and
further indicated his disregard of
these senatorial usages by announcing
himself to be "a farmer, pure and sim
pie with no collateral occupation" and
declaring his intention of holding up
some of the public questions on his
pitch-fork.
Born in Edgefield county, South
Carolina, Aug. II, 1S47, Mr.. Tillman
received an academic education, en-
listed in the Confederate army in 1864,
but saw no military service owing to
fact that he lost the sight of his LETT
eye from a severe illness soon after
he enlisted. In 1868 he married Sallie
Starke.
He was elected governor of South
Carolina in 1890 and again in 1892.
His services to that state included the
founding of the Clemson Agricultural
and Mechanical college at Fort Hill,
for boys, and the Winthrop Normal
and Industrial college at Rock Hill for
girls. He was author Of the famous
dispensary system for selling liquor
under the control of the state.
A life long democrat, he participat-
ed in the South Carolina constitution
which, in 1895 made educa-
ton a qualification of suffrage. He
was a central figure in the democratic
national conventions, particularly in
for years as member of the Democrat
those of 1900 and 1904. He served
ic national committee.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The reso-
luton authorizing the president to
take over the telegraph and telephone
lines, the $12,000,O0O,000 army appro-
priation bill, the proposal to increase
the government guaranteed price for
wheat to $3.50 bushel and war time
prohibition today stood in the way OF
the proposed recess Of congress this
week. Leaders in both the senate and
House were not hopeful that this leg
islation could be disposed of in time
to recess Saturday until August 10,
while the new revenue bill is being
drafted by the house ways and means
committee In the opinion of Speaker
Clark recess plans had gone glim-
mering.'
Some members, however, had not
given up hope today of being able to
leave Washington this week. Tenta-
tive plans were proposed to hurry the
passage of the army bill which is now
in conference due largely to numerous
amendments added by the senate, and
to have the telegraph and telephone
control resolution go over until Au-
gust. Disposition of the latter piece
of legislation before recess depends
upon insiStence Of the administration.
1t is known President Wilson is anX-
ious to have the resolution passed so
that action might be taken should a
crisis arise in the telegraph situation.
To provide funds for the army, agri-
culture department and other govern
ment agencies, the appropriation bills
of which have been held up, the senate
today planned to consider a blanket
resolution passed by the house yester-
day continuing as an emergency last
years appropriations.
Agreement ON the amendment in
creasing the guaranteed price for
wheat to $3.50 appeared likely after
weeks of discussion in conference.
1t was intimated that house mana
gers would agree to compromise on
the price in view of the overwhelming
vote in the senate against lowering
the wheat guarantee. 1t was generally
believed that war time prohibition
would go over until after the recess in
view of the inability of prohibition
leaders in the senate to get the amend
ment up for consideration, yesterday.
Hearings of the new revenue bill
by the house ways and means COM
mittee were scheduled to close today.
Work of drafting the measure will be
started Immediately, it was said.
