FORMER SENATOR EUGENE HALE
Fomer Senator Eugene Hale Of Maine
died last night at his residence here.
He was eighty-two years old BE served
thirty years in the Senate. retiring from
that body in 1911.
His son, Frederick Hale, il now serv-
ing as senator from Maine.
Senator Hale had. been in declining
health for several months. Tho body
will be sent to Ellsworth, Me-, for in
terment.
Prominent old-Line Republican. !,
Senator Hale was one of the most
prominent of the old line Of republican
leaders. 1t was not until his seventy
fifth year. in 1911, that he retired from
the United States Senate at the time
when the so-called insurgency move
ment was under way. His retirement,
attributed to illness, came only after
he had seen longer service in the Sem
ate than any other man then in the
Upper house.
With a legislative experience dating
ing membership for three terms in the
Maine house of representatives, and in
the Forty first to Forty-fifth Congresses.
he entered the Senate in 1881, and serv-
ed there under the administrations Of
Garfield. Cleveland. Harrison, Mckinley.
Roosevelt and Taft. In each he was a
power to be reckoned with. He never
hesitated to tell any President exactly
what he thought Of his policies and in
the White House his opinions. however
greatly in disagreement with the chief
executives, were invariably respected as
those of a fearless leader, of an earnest
student of governmental affairs, and as
OF a man who acted purely from patri-
otto motives as he saw them.
He was conservative in every sense
of the word. In his advocacy of the
protective tariff. Senator Hale was
even less flexible than the late Senator
Alerich. He was one of the most bit
ter opponents of the war with Spain
and of the acquisition of the Philip

Mines used in laying the submarine

were Of a new type. produced by tho
mining section Of the Navy Depart

Daniels has disclosed in statement
telling Of the part the American Navy
played in putting down the barrage in
cooperation with the British navy.
The problem first to be solved. Mr..
Daniels said. was the development OF
q new type OF mine, none of the old
ones being suited for use against
submarines. The mining section Of the
ordnance bresu. under the direction
Of Commander 8. P. Fullinwider. sue

has surpassed all expectations. the
Secretary said. A new firing mocha
nism was first necessary. and for that
purpose naval ordnance officers made
use OF an electrical anti-subn1arfne
mitted to the Navy Department by
Ralph Browne, an American, in May,
1917. The first adaptation Of this in
vention was tested in July, 1917. =
The design Of the new mipe was

each part was determined upon it

The first parts were shipped last Feb

been a constant flow Of mines to sup

ers under the American and British
navies laying the barrage that is now
a menace to every German subma-

Bitter Contest Results.

When he first sought election to the
United States Senate in 1881 there
was a bitter contest between him
and William P. Frye. Mr.. Hale was
successful, but Mr.. Frye, in the same
year, received an appointment to the
Senate to fill the vacancy caused by
the appointment of James G. Blaine
to the position of Secretary of State,
SO that it happened that both Mr.. Frye
and Mr.. Hale entered the Senate to-
gether. the latter. however, the senior
senator.
In 1858, 1873 and 1880 Mr.. Hale
was delegate to- the republican ma
tional conventions. and On the last
two occasions labored zealously for
the nomination Of Blaine, and for his
election in the campaign against
Cleveland in 1883.
He was appointed Postmaster Gen.
eral by President Grant in 1874. and
was rendered the naval portfolio by
President Hayes, but he declined both
Of these cabinet positions. preferrinE
to remain in Congress.
He did later accept the appointment
as member of the national monetary
commission, and in Congress his abfl-
ity was recognized time after time
by appointment to the most impor-
tant committees, and his retention in
them year after year. While he was
in the lower house he was chairman
of the republican congressional COM
chairman Of the committee on ap-
preparations. chairman of the COM
mittee on public expenditures and
one of the weightiest members of
the committees on finance and naval
affairs and census.

Devoted to His Duty.

His tactics were not those Of an
orator. When he first came to Con-
gress he dazzled no one. But he was
ALWAYS on the job" or ''in continu-
Gus session." and while his colleague.
Frye, was strong In forensic debate,
and Tom" Reed employed his wit In
a spectacular manner, Mr.. Hale went
along in a quiet, unobtrusive way,
and by his sheer staying qualities he
became q power like Senator Ed
munds. He had . positive gift for
finding out the weak points Of any
project and turning the battery OF
sarcastic invective upon II.
In personality he was an afistocfat.
He married the daughter OF Zacha-
riah Chandler. senator from Mchi.
gan, in 1871.

AS chairman of the committee on

the House took jurisdiction over the

There was no discussion and only

Members of the Military committee
said later that they were not opposed

would report it favorably.

that SO per cent. of all cartridges
