His first effort as news writer
was an interview with Gen. w. T.
Sherman, who was visiting his brother
at his home in Des MoineS.
In 1890 he became owner and pub
Usher of the Des Moines Capital.
For the first few years he was the
personal boss and master hand in
all departments. He installed and
operated presses; he was the best
printer in the shop, and in addition
to this work he conducted the news
department, wrote editorials and at
tended to the business of advertising
and circulation.
Fruits of His Energy.
This tremendous investment in
personal energy soon began to bear
fruit Mr.. Young's newspaper grew
and prospered. Des Moines began
a period Of vigorous growth and as
the city expanded Lafe Young ex-
panded. His paper doubled several
times in size and circulation. But
even when the mammoth, high-speed
presses came tne editor and pub
lished took great pride in his technical
knowledge of the mechanical depart
ment. And through all the years
he continued to carry his card in the
Typographical Union. He lived to
see hundreds of employees In the
various departments that he had once
conducted practically unasslsted.
Mr.. Young married Miss Josephine
Bolton on March 20, 1870. They had
three children, Lafayette Young. jr.,
and Harold Young of Des Moines, and
Mrs. Nellie Brown Young Herrick of
Olean, N. Y. Mrs. Herrick died in
February, 1923.
On the death Of Senator Jonathan
P. Dolliver of Iowa, october Is. 1910,
Mr.. Young was appointed United
States Senator and served in that
capacity until April, 1911. Long be
fore his service in the Senate, how
ever, Mr.. Young was national figure
in Republican politics. 1t was he
who nominated Theodore Roosevelt
for Vice President at the national
convention in Philadelphia in 1900.
These two men were close personal
friends for years.
During the Spanish-American War
Mr.. Young was a newspaper CORE
spondent with Skaters army in
Cuba. Later he was a member of
the Taft mission to the Philippine
islands. In 1913 he was a CORE
spondent in the Balkan War, and in
in 1915 he spent four months at the
seat Of war in Europe.
1t was during this trip abroad that
he was held as a spy by the Aus
trians, who thought that the name
Lafayette" indicated some direct
connection with France. The United
States Government secured his re-
lease. Some months after the armis-
tice the King of Belgium conferred
the Order of Leopold II on Mr.. Young

SCR|VENER INQUEST
TO Be TOMORROW
Hearing to Be Held in Board
Room of D. c. Building.
27 Called

The District Commissioners today
granted Coroner j. Ramsay hewitt
permission to hold the coroner's in
quest into the mysterious killing of
| Detective Sergt. Arthur B. Scriv
ener in the boardroom of the District
Building at IL o'clock tomorrow
| morning.
This is the second time in the his
tory Of the city that a coroner's in
quest has been deemed of sufficient
Importance and involved such a large
number of witnesses that it has been
necessary to use the large boardroom
at the District Building. The other
case was the coroner's inquest held
incident to the 'knickerbocker Theater
tragedy.
Twenty-seven witnesses are sched-
uled to take the stand tomorrow, two
of them being Miss Helen Barnes
Parker of Mclean, Va, whom Scriv-
ener was to have married on the day
he was found in the rear of his
Georgetown home and Miss Catherine
Markey, a former fiancee.
Despite the large number OF wit.
nesses, Coroner hewitt expresses the
opinion that the inquest will be con-
cluded at one sitting. When Coroner
hewitt visited the District Building
today it was with the view Of obtain
ing the use of the squad room in the
Detective Bureau for the inquest.
When the Commissioners learned Of
his mission. however, they invited
him to use the boardroom on the
fifth floor.
After this detail had been arranged
the coroner went into conference with
Assistant Corporation Counsel Ring
gold Hart and Detective Sergt. Ed
Kelly, Scriveners erstwhile partner
on the detective staff.
Coroner hewitt made it plain today
that the decision as to how Scrivener
met his death lies entirely in the
hands of the six jurors. 1t will be
up to them to conclude either that
Scrivener committed suicide. that he
was murdered or that the circum-
stances are such that they can only
bring in an omen verdict.

LAFAYETTE YOUNG,
NOTED EDITOR, DIES
Was Former United States
Senator From Iowa and
SO Years Old.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DES MONIES, Iowa, November Is.
Lafayette Young, editor Of the Des
Moines Daily Capital and former
United States Senator from Iowa, died
here today from heart disease.
Death came peacefully to the vet
eran editor and publisher about II
am. at a bath parlor. He lay down
to rest after his bath and an attend
ant noticed that he seemed to be
growing weaker Death occurred
shortly after a doctor arrived.
Senator Young was at his office for
time this morning. He had been
under the observation Of physicians
for several weeks, but had seemed to
be improving. He had not been In
the best of health, however, for some
time.
Lafayette Young came from the
newspaper generation which produced
Greeley, Dana, Medill Pulitzer and
Waterson. He belonged to that ia
nous old school of American journal
ism distinguished by an outstanding
editorial personality.
Iowa was his field and into it he
brought a pure type of individualism
which was untainted by any quality
men. Eminent citizens of every State
in the Union and nearly every country
of the civilized world have known and
loved this pioneer Iowa editor. The
files of his office contain letters of a
most intimate nature from many Pres
idents and from high officials of for
elgn countries. He travelled extensive
ly, but above all else he priced his
natural inclination to live life Of
simplicity in prairie State.
"Lafe" Young was a pure Iowa
product. He was born on a farm near
Eddyville, Monroe County, Iowa, May
10. 1848. His father, John Young, was
the oldest son Of Jesse Young, one of
the earliest settlers in Indiana. Jesse
Young's ancestors came from England
and settled near Baltimore in 1880.
Lafe Young was also a direct descend
ant of Commodore Barney, a distin-
guished officer Of the Revolutionary
War.
B0yhOd on Farm.
Mr.. Young spent his boyhood on the
farm In Monroe County. When he
was Is years old, he tried to Join his
older brothers by enlisting for service
In the Civil War, but was rejected
on account of his youth He then
decided to learn the printing trade
and became an apprentice in Abba.
Later he went to ST. Louis as "a
journeyman printer. 1t was in Abba
that he had his start as a printer
editor. Out Of his small salary in
st. Louis printing houses he saved
enough money to start on his career
as an editor. He went to Atlantic,
Iowa, and his first formal newspaper
enterprise was the Atlantic Telegraph,
which he founded. Here, also, he got
his start in politics and for ~ years
served his district as State Senator.
When Mr.. Young first went to Des
Mo1neS he was reporter on the Des
Moines Register, which then was
owned and published by F. M. Mills.
