FEDERAL JUDGE REED EXPIRES,
 HEART ATTACK
End Comes Suddenly to Jurist = Washington,
 Alaska Pioneer

Judge Thomas NJ. Reed, Fl, a resident of Alaska for 30 years, judge of the U. s. District Court in this Division for almost seven { years. died in St. Ann's hospital at 9:5O o'clock last night as the result of an acute heart attack. When the end came, his wife, Mrs. Venetia Reed. and Dr. w. J. Pigg, were with him.
 Although i'll for several months and in the hospital almost con tinuously since April IT, the end came unexpectedly. For a few minutes prior to death he wa walking about his room. As he walked. he suddenly said, Il think I am going to faint He was helped to a lounge and expired almost immediately.
 Drive in Afternoon
 Earlier yesterday afternoon Judge Reed had expressed a de sire to take ride out Glacier Highway, and was driven out by Mrs. Reed and her daughter, Miss Venetia Pugh. After going but a short distance he said he thought he had better return to the hos pital as he felt faint, and he was taken there immediately. He was suffering from a severe attack of gastritis which brought on the heart attack from which death resulted.
 Besides his wife, Judge Reed is survived by a sister Mrs. George Ingham of Olympia, Wash, a bro ther. Mark E. Reed, of Shelton Wash, and prominent kepubli. can leader of that State, and two children, Mrs. Constance Reed Haller Of Seattle, ana q son, Irv. ing Mex.

 Plans for the funeral and burial are being held in abeyance pend ing advices from his relatives who have been advised of his death.
 Worked Under Fire
 During his tenure of office on the Federal bench here, Judge Reed has worked almost continu ously. III much of the time in re cent months, he conducted the business of the court despite the advice of friends and medical ad' visers who urged on him the ne cessity for taking long rest.
 He was appointed by the late President Harding in 1921. Given reappointment by President Coolidge at the expiration of his four year term, political oppon. ents launched a savage attack on him which caused the withdrawal of his name, but the President failed to name any successor and he has continued Tn offlce, all the time under the fire of his oppon. ents.
 The object of attacks agains' his professional reputation, called to Washington to defend some of his actions as Judge, he never failed to conduct himself with due regard for the dignity of his posi- ton on the Federal bench. Nor did he ever recognize the assaults against his character to the extent of replying to them in public.
 Hospital to Court
 Even after his condition became such as to make it necessary for him to go to the hospital, he taxed his already weakened constitution by continuing the more pressing of his judicial duties. His friends (Continued on Page Eight.)
