Stricken Suddenly With Heart
Affection in Bed in Oak

STARTED CAREER EARLY
With His Brothers He Became
World Famous After Wagon
/. Show Experience.

DOVER, n. j., Oct. 21.-Alfred T.
Ringling. eldest of the remaining Ring
ling brothers of circus fame, died sud-
denly to-day on his big estate at Oak
Ridge, n. J. Only two OF the original
seven Ringing brothers. John and
Charles, now survive.
Mr.. Ringing was seemingly in good
health when he retired last evening, but
was stricken with heart affection dur
Ing the night. A physician was sum
moned. but the patient died soon after
the doctor arrived. Mr.. Ringing leaves
widow and one son, Richard. who is
now in the West. No arrangements
have yet been made for the funeral.
Failing health had made Mr.. Ring
ling virtually a recluse during the last
two years. and though his estate is used
as the winter quarters for a large part
of the circus equipment and menagerie
he had taken no active part in the bust
ness during that time. He had been In,
the business since childhood, having
learned how to perform various stunts
In public when a youth. He was born
at McGregor, Iowa, fifty-six years ago.
Mr.. Ringing Joined his efforts to those
OF his brothers. who. though the sons
of a country harness maker with few
opportunities to study amusements, pos
sessed such a natural talent for show
manship that they afterward became
known the country over. Besides Alfred
T. there were Al. John. Otto and Charles
together with Henry and A. O.. who
were never prominently identified with
the rise of this family group. Early in
life Alfred T. learned with his brothers
to do everything from musical turns to
equestrian acts under the leadership of
AL, and though his opportunity to obtain
systematic instructions on an instrument
were few Alfred later became an accom-
plished musician.

.FORMER>PREM
OF JAPAN Is DEAD
Field Marshal Terauchi One of
Leading Soldiers and
Statesmen.
HE WON FAME IN COREA
Aimed to Promote Friendly
Relations With Own Ma
ton and u. s.

TOXIC, Oct. 21.-Field- Marshal Count
Seiki Terauchi, former Premier and one
of Japan's leading soldiers and states
men. died here yesterday in his sixty
eighth year.
When Count Terauchi assumed office
as Premier Of Japan three yesrs ago he
announced that his aim would be to
promote friendly relations between his
country and the United States. He ac-
cepted his office, he said, "as statesman
seeking the lasting interests of his peo-
pie, not as a militarist seeking glorih-
cation by the sword"
Slxty-four years old at that time,
small OF stature even for a Japanese,
and Of very modest appearance. he was
not regarded with favor by the majority
in the House of Representatives. As the
champion of the ultra-conservative bu-
reaucracy he had the opposition of the
adherents of the Japanese representative
government, who claimed that his selec-
ton was due to the influence of a little
group of Elder Statesmen.
The Emperor. however, was on his
side, and when Count Terauchi's oppo-
nents introduced a resolution Of lack OF
confidence his Imperial Majesty fore
o; Representatives, ordering new cleo
tons.
Il was principally through his admin
istration of affairs in Corea while acting
as Governor General over that possess
sion that he won his high place in the
empire. Count Terauchi took charge OF
affairs there in 1910 and at once began
to rule with a firm hand. He stationed
Japanese soldiers in every village, i'm
posing upon them the police powers
which he had taken from the natives.
The Emperor of Corea he reduced to
the rank of a Prince, making him.
self supreme ruler. Within a few
months his work OF annexation
was complete. He caused the
expenditure OF large sums of money in
improving and developing the country.
1t was as a military administrator
rather than as a field commander that
Count Terauchi won his military honors.
Through his ability and genius in this
direction he won promotion as Major
General and later appointment as presi-
dent of the Japanese Military Stan Col
lege. As Minister of war in 1903 he
won the confidence Of the Elder States
men OF Japan He became absolute
muster Of the War Department and
eventually a war councillor.
Count Teraucii came of the Choshu
clan. which has given to Japan many
of her most renowned military leaders
He was born February S, 1852, at Ma
cato. and was the son Of samurai.
During his early service as soldier In
the Imperial Guards he was wounded In
the right arm. This injury was re-
ceived in the crushing of Saigo's re-
bellion, and as n result the arm was
useless forever after.
