A. B. WILLIAMS DIES
AFTER OPERATION
Michigan Representative Had
Made Fine Impression in
His First Term.

Representative Arthur B. Williams
OF Battle Creek, Mich, who during
the Sixty-eighth Congress attracted
unusual attention for a tirst-term
member. and who was expected to be-
come one of the outstanding men in
Congress, died In Johns Hopkins Hos
pital, Baltimore, this morning. News
OF his death came as a great shock to
his office and many friends here, as he
was supposed to be recovering from
an operation two weeks ago Wednes-
day. Yesterday he was sitting up in
bed and seemed to be feeling very
well.
Last Winter Representative VII
liams went to Johns Hopkins for an
examination, but his condition was so
satisfactory it was found that he
could postpone the operation until
after Congress adjourned, because at
that time Mr.. Williams was a leader
in the effort to put through cooper
ative marketing legislation. When
Congress adjourned he was tied up
in the Northern Pacific land grant
cases, and stayed on the jub here until
two weeks ago.
Burial Next Monday.
The funeral party will leave for
Battle Creek tomorrow night, where
the burial viii take place Monday.
Members of the Michigan delegation
in Congress and eight other mem
bers who were closely associated
with Mr.. Williams will compose the
official congressional party.
Representative Williams was So
years old, native of Ashland, Ohio,
and a stanch Republican. He COM
menced the practice of law in Battle
Creek 80 years ago. He handled a
case against the Post Cereal Cor
poratton so successfully that Mr..
Post induced him to accept a po-
sitlon as counsel for the corporation.
His advance was steady, until he
became vice president and general
counsel at the time he was elected to
Congress. He was executor of the
Post estate. He also was president
for several years of the Michigan
Manufacturers Association. He was
interested in farming at his Summer
home, Gull Lake, Kalamazoo County
Mich. He was a director in the Old
National Bank at Battle Creek.
Seldom does a new member of
Congress make so good an impression
during his first term as did Mr. Will
liams. He took a special interest in
matters affecting the National Cap
ital. and had pledged his support to
number of important improvements
that are coming up during the next
Congress.
