Senator Bankhead of Alabama Dies
 at the Age of 78

Washington, Mar John H Bankhead of Alabama, the oldest member of the United States senate and the last veteran of the confeder ate armies to serve in It, died today at his home in Washington of myo' carditis.
 His colleague, Senator Underwood, announced the fact to the senate eu- logizing him as the foremost fig ure in Alabama for the last quarter of century" The senate adjourn ed immediately as mark of respect Later Vice President Marshall ap pointed committee of the senate to attend his funeral consisting of Senators Underwood, Nelson, Pomer- enc, Townsend, Ashurst, Ferald, Me Kellar, Harrison and Ball. The body, accompanied by members O. the family, will leave Washington tomorrow night for Jasper, Ala where the funeral will be held.
 Senator Bankhead's death came ae a surprise as it was not known tha he was i'll, outside of his immediat fanily.
 With him at the time of his deat' wa his wife, his son, Representative Wm. B Bankhead, who serves in congress from the tenth Alabama district, his daughter, Mrs. Arthur c Lund, Mir Lund and Dr Sterling Ruffin. Three other children also serve him.
 Segator Bankhead was born in 1842 and for over half century he has been a dominating figure in public affairs, both in his state and in the nation. 'Enlisting as private in an Alabama regiment during the civil war, he was three times wounded, and rose to the rank of captain before it's conclusion. After serving in the legislature of his state several terms he was elected to congress, where he filled out 10 terms, later being appointed to the senate to fill va cancy. Elected by the legislature to that office in 1907, he was -e. elected twice by popular vote, the last time in 1918. In congress he was conspicuous for his work on public buildings and river and harbol improvements. He was the author of the law for federal aid to post roads now in effect and the Bankhead national highway planned to run from Washington to Los Angeles, Cal, was named for him.
