Gently made before the congress by
Speaker Gillett of the House of Rep

The Pan-American Commercial Con-

Washington last week. ending with
Friday night. 1t is probable that the
Mexican government ordered the
withdrawal of it's delegates under the
belief that the conference was con-

In his speech before the conference
June 2 Speaker Gillett declared that
the present condition of Mexico was
the greatest impeachment today to
full fellowship and international
trade on this hemisphere" He said
that Mexico was the worst sufferer
from the conditions and urged that
the other republics unite to smooth
out the troubled conditions there.

Eulogized When He Retired.

with no reliance for the future save
his well earned reputation, while all
who have enjoyed the privilege of
associating with him in his public
career witness his departure with
sorrow"
Elihu Root, then Secretary of State,
said Of him: 1.-The resignation Of Sena-
tor Spooner is a public misfortune. The
nation owes a debt Of gratitude to the
state Of Wisconsin for contributing him
to the work Of the national government.
He will be sadly missed when Congress
reconvenes and his old associates feel
the loss Of his wisdom and strength. his
courage and magnanimity."
Senator Spooner was one OF the most
interesting figures to the gallery crowds
when on the floor Of the Senate. He
was rarely absent and always alert
when legislation was I'm progress. He
was a good listener. Suddenly the Wis
itor would see him toss his massive head
back, half close his eyes and turn his
hand to his ear to catch every word. A
few moments more and he was on his
feet to challenge some misstatement or
pierce some fallacious reasoning.
Senator Spooner was Intensely de-
voted to his family. He married in 1858
Miss Annie E. Main Of Madison. Wis
He had three sons-Charles p, Willett
