W. |. COHEN, COLORED
POLITICIAN, EXPIRES
Controller of Customs at New Or
leans, Long Active in Repub-
lican Party, Ill for Week.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, December 29.--
Walter L. Cohen, widely known colored
political leader, who has served as con-
troller of customs for the New Orleans
district during the past seven years,
died here today az the age of 20. He
was stricken with illness last week.
Cohen took an active part in Re
publican politics for many years. He
was delegate to the Republican Ma
tional Convention in 1892 and had at
tended every convention since.
He first became a Federal official In
1892 as customs inspector. He pub
liShed the Republican Courier for many
years and then was appointed by Presi-
dent Mckinley as registrar of the Fed
eral Land Office here. He held that
Office through the administrations of
President Roosevelt and President Taft.
He was appointed controller of the Gus
toms here during the administration Of
President Coolidge
Cohen was holding the Office of con-
troller of customs until a successor
could be appointed. His reappointment
was blocked by the present Republican
organization of Louisiana, created by
President Hoover's nomination, which
Cohen opposed. ece
Until Hoovers nomination Cohen was
the Republican leader of Louisiana and
exercised a wide influence among coll
ored voters in the United States. With
Hoover's election, however, his organi-
cation was shunted aside, but one of
his last acts was to go to Washington
in an effort TO strengthen his political
status. sHf
Cohen had amassed fortune as the
head OF an insurance company. aaE
