P|TNEY
DIES AT AGE OF 66
Noted Jurist Succumbs to
Long Illness Brought on
by 0verWork.
NEWS OF DEATH SURPRISE
Disability of More Than Two Years
Terminates Distinguished
Public Service.

Former Justice Mahlon Pitney of
the Supreme Court of the United
States, died at his home, 1863 +
street, early today.
Death occurred in the hours imme-
diately after midnight, and was de-
scribed as a gradual weakening of
his system after a long illness. Jus
tiCe Pitney, who retired from the
bench because of i'll health December
81, 1922, had been confined to his bed
since the late summer. Members of
his immediate family were at the
bedside when death occurred.
Although Justice Pitney had been
seriously i'll for more than three
months, his immediate death was not
expected and no intimation was
given prior to his death that his con-
dition was more unfavorable than it
had been for some time. The former
justice had been residing in his home
here since his retirement from the
Supreme Court bench
Justice Pitney, who vas sc years
of age, was known as one of the
hardest working members of the Su
preme Court, and overwork was as
cribed as the cause of his breakdown.
The strain after a number of years
resulted in an attack which totally
disabled him from the discharge of
his duties, and he was placed on the
retired list of the court.
Retired on Account OF Illness.
Associate Justice Mahlon Pitney was
forced by illness to retire from the
United States Supreme Court at the
height of his usefulness Enthusiastic
and tireless in devotion to duty, he un-
stintingly drew upon his reserve
strength until a seemingly sound and
vigorous constitution was undermined,
and the collapse came without warning
to his associates upon the bench or the
public generally.
The stroke fell while he was visiting
Philadelphia to join with Chief Justice
Taft and other members of the Supreme
Court in the rededication of the room in
Independence Hall where the court had
held it's first sessions. There a blood
clot formed in hiss brain, but prompt
medical attendance enabled him to re-
turn to Washington. BY careful nursing

woolworth Building, which has 81
stories, according to Information OBJ
tainable in real estate circles. A

gineering and construction world
were called into conference to de-
termine the practicability Of rearing
a structure of such height. and as
result 1t was decided to make q
study of the Woolworth Building

two weeks.

be built to the height contemplated

tests of the Woolworth Building. Mr.
Gilbert. who designed and superin-
tended the construction of the Wool
worth structure, has charge of the
tests.
The Woolworth Building is 792
feet high and If the stories of the
contemplated building were of the
same height 1t would tower more
than 1000 feet above the ground.
The United States Steel Corpora
ton and the du Points have been
mentioned as possible hackers of the
new building project, although no
definite Information as to this phase
has been obtained.

The possible need of requesting the

force martial law upon our water
front as the only alternative to
Statewide anarchy" was called to the
attention of the Hudson County
grand jury today by Supreme Court
Justice Minturn in his charge to them
concerning their duties in the in
Nestigation of a bootlegging con-
spiraCy in Weehawken.
Sees Wider Channels,
Your investigation may lead you
into channels of corruption so broad
and varied in their ramificatiOnS as
TO enable you to perceive that this
hciuouS conspiracy is not confined to
this county or to this State" Justice
Minturn charged but is co-extensive
with our national boundaries and in
effect is nothing less than a porten-
1ous, subterranean rebellion against
The Constitution and law, compared
with which in it's secret subtleties
and its poisonous ramificat tions. the
whisky rebellion of Washington's
time was but infantile in its pro-
portions"

lice officials, nine policemen and the

Possible Personal Danger.
Directing their attention also to
the criminal enigma" of the murder
of an alleged hi-jacker, Justice Min
turn warned the grand jury that it's
Investigation may lead you into chan
nelS of personal danger, more or less
enveIoped in an atmosphere of official
corruption, but this fact should rather
spur you on than deter you in the
performance of your duty
THE fact that one man who
threatened exposure of the hideous
system has been murdered and that
two recent witnesses are being held
in prison by the prosecutor, fearful
of personal results of their liberty,
should lend an additional incentive
70 your efforts, and like st. Paul at
Ephesus, increase your strength to
combat the wild beasts that surround
us.
Ruled by Outlaws.
Shall we consent to be ruled by
outlaws, thugs and pirates, or shall
the Constitution and the law, the cher
ished work of American loyalty and
love, still guide our lives, our homes
and our honor?
IF it is to be conceded that we cam
not succeed in this struggle to enforce
the law and that failure is to be inevi-
table result of your labors. and that
hereafter ours is to be government of
official corruption identified with the
black flag of piracy. in which murder
is the logical penalty of exposure,
then the time has come for you and
the prosecutor, and this court to retire
from YOUR posts by a confession of in
eptitude, and request the President and
the governor to enforce martial law
upon our waterfront as the only al
tentative to statewide anarchy"
