gineer to c. II. Markham, regional di-
rector of the United States railroad ad-
ministration, recalled Mr.. Pa,mer's life

both graduated in 1891.
In the same class was Governor
Sproul, and in college at the same time
were f. p. Passmore, director of the
Federal Reserve Bank in this district
and Morris L. Clothier. The men were
members of the same fraternity, PM

Though he never said much about
it," said Mr.. Temple today. Mr.
Palmer must have had the law In nina

WAS BORN in VERMONT

George Franklin Edmunds. former
United States Senator from Vermont,
who died in Pasadena, Cal. yesterday
was for years prominent figure In
this city. He came to Philadelphia after
he resigned from the Senate in 1891.
Mr. Edmunds. who lived at 1712
Spruce street and at Devon, came here
with his two daughters for his health
and was under the care of Dr. William
Pepper, former provost of the Cniver-
city OF Pennsylvania. A nephew of the
former Senator lives here.
While he did not engage extensively
In the practice of law here he was active
despite his advanced age and often vis-
tied the Law Library in the city Hall.
He was at one time member OF the
board of trustees of the Commercial
Museum He spent several summers In
Bay Head, n. j., ana in 1914 went to
California. where he died yesterday at
the age of ninety-one years.
Mr.. Edmunds was Senator from Ner-
mont from 1865 10 1891. acquiring such
reputation as a statesman that on two
occasions in tho early sos his name
was presented in the Rpublican National
Convention as a candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination.
Born on farm at Richmond, VT,
February l. 1928, he studied and prac-
ticed law In his native town, and in
1851 he removed to Burlington. He
became speaker of the House and presi-
dent of the Senate of the Vermont Legls-
lature. In March, 1866, he was APP
pointed TO supply the vacancy In the
United States Senate created by the
death of Solomon Foot.
He took a leading part in the dis
cussions of the Senate during the turbu-
lent reconstruction days and was ac-
tive as one of his party leaders In the
impeachment of President johnson.
When Hayes and Tilden were contest
ing the presidential election returns In
1876, Seuator IIdmunds was one of the
electoral committee which placed Hayes
in the White House.
Z He was unanimously elected president
pro tempore of the Senate when Vice
President Arthur was called to the White
{, House by the assassination of President
Garfield. As a parliamentarian he
gained high repute. Any member who
ignored the rules would promptly invoke
the Vermonter's biting satire.
In 1882 he introduced a measure for
the suppression of poygamy in Utah
and the disfranchsement of those who
followed it. This act. which came to be
known as the Edmunds act, was brought
before the Supreme Court, and upheld
. in decisions that were given in a series
of cases. In the year before he volun-
Z tarilyr retired from the Senate. he closed
his long political career by helping to
draw up that famous antitrust Law

ALL WILLING TO PAY FARES
Reason Why Citizens Of Lima, Peru,
Do Not Seek to Evade Their
Street Car Obligations.

II fare registers were to be placed
In the street cars Of Lima, Peru, there
would be loud protest. This is not
because 1t is easier to dodge the con-
ductor under the prevailing system.
On the contrary, tle travellers Of Lima
are willing, even anxious. to pay their
fares. Perhaps thai doesn't seem hu-
man. but the explanation Is that upon
receipt Of the fare a numbered ticket
Is presented to- the passenger, and 1t
is valuable lottery ticket.
The car lines are 'divlded into four
sections for she monthly and semi
monthly draw dngs conducted by the
railway eompf my. In the three impor-
tant sections a cash prize Of $3.50 Is
offered. The fourth section offers a
