composite, but Mr.. Root had leading
part in extending protecting arm and
the privileges of our country's higher
civilization to Cuba, Puerto Rico and
the Philippines, whose dstraught
people were fearful that they were
merely exchanging one yoke for an
other. 1t was on Roots authority that
many of his colleagues formed their
judgments. Thus ne went to WASH
ington in times singularly adapted to
call forth his extraordinary powers.
1t is fortunate for the country that
these exceptional circumstances caused
the exercise of his rare talent for state
craft, and that he had long and inti-
mate association with highly impor-
tant affairs. Few statesmen of the
period from 1896 to 1918 were dis
cussed more frequently by the press
and public, although he was not a
magnetic speaker and although he
avoided spectacularity in every form.
He had a distinct fair for solid
achievements in public life, and his
greatest gift was his faculty of en-
forcing his own views and taking his
hearers captive He had that rare
quality which William Penn called "a
public mind" and was highly admired

and he was the author Of several
works on citizenship. constitutionalism
and kindred subjects.
On his 80th birthday anniversary,
in 1925, he received signal tribute as
guest of honor at dinner given by
the Union League Club Of New York.
A gathering of men famous in every
walk of American life turned out to
testify to his services to his country
and ito the cause o. international
justice"
Charles D. Hilles. secretary to the
President in the Taft administration,
and later a member of the Republican
National Committee, said:
"An inspiring chapter in our history
was about to be written when Elihu
Root entered the cabinet of President
Mckinley. The war with Spain created
unusual public problems. Mckinley,
Hay, Root, Knox and few Of their
associates were called upon to shape a
new national policy, as the United
States was then becoming a world
power. The initial task was that Of
steering the Nation in international
channels where the least error of judg-
ment might have been disastrous. The
contribution Of each public man Of the
period is not distinguishable in the

Root was American Counsel in the
North American fisheries arbitration
Of 1910. He was president in 1913
of an arbitration tribunal involving
interests Of Great Britain, France,
Spain and Portugal in church
property.
He fought long and hard for a re-
vision of the constitution Of his State.
He was chairman of the Judiciary
Committee of constitutional conven-
ton in 1894 and chairman Of another
convention in 1915.
Societies and organizations devoted
to the arts and sciences, education,
the legal profession and propaganda
for peace were always asking him for
time, money and effort and he gave
freely of all three. He was president
at various times of the American Bar
Association, the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace, the American
Society of International Law, the
National Security League and the bar
associations of the State and Of the
city of New York.
Honors came to him from North

In 1912 he was awarded the Nobel

TRIAL Of PORTER
FOR MURDER NEAR
Mass of Evidence Faces
Servant Accused of
Staying Woman.
By the Associated Press.

6S the ASSOCldteQ fIesS
NEW YORK, February GA mass
OF circumstantial evidence-so much
that the State contends confession
would be SuperfluouS-will face Major
Green, colored porter, when he is
called for trial Monday for the murder
of Mrs. Mary Robinson Case, 25-year-
old former Lancaster, Pa, belle.
A bride who had taken up residence
In New York less than year before,
she was found beaten and strangled to
death in the bathtub of her apartment
January II by her husband, Frank w.
Case, who hurried home from work
when she failed to answer his tele-
phone calls.
Three days later District Attorney
Charles P. Sullivan announced he had
a confession in which the porter ad-
nitted entering the apartment, bent
on robbery.
Latest of the many bits of evidence
Is the story of Green's wife. Juanita,
that Green broke a long habit by not
accompanying her home from the
apartment house, where both worked,
on the day of the crime.
Bloodstained trousers found in the
apartment house incinerator chute
were said by tenant to be part of a
suit he gave Green. A blood-stained
hammer and a jewelry case belonging
to the slain woman's husband were
also in the chute.
A shirt worn by Green when ar
rested was identified as the husbands
property.
An unsolved mystery is the where
abouts of Mrs. Cases wedding ring,
which police say was torn from her
finger by her slayer.
Conviction carries a mandatory
death sentence.

HUGE new TOWER
TO Be BUILT HERE
BY STATION KFYR
Structure Will Rise 100 Feet In.
to Air at New Location
North Of Msnoken

Decision to change the location Of
KFYR's broadcasting transmitter and
erect . new broadcasting tower TOO
feet high was made public here
Tuesday by p. J. Meyer, owner and
general manager Of the radio station.
The present flat-topped or L.
shaped antennae. supported by two
wooden poles each slightly more than
100 feet high, has long been unsat-
isfactory but Meyer was prevented
from erecting . new vertical tower
at the present location by the Depart
ment Of Commerce.
The present transmitter u located
on the federal air route and tower
Of such height was deemed too great
. hasard TO air traffic.
As result It was necessary to find
. new location. This Is one half
mile west and two and . half miles
north Of Menoken shd there the huge
new tower viii b erected.
OF the latest design and steel ms
terials 1t will be the tallest structure
IN North Dakota and viii have no
guy wires, being entirely self-gus-
tained. When completed 1t viii be
one Of the three tallest self-sustain-
ing towers In the Western hemi-
sphere.
The new building for housing the
transmitter also will be Of modern
design, constructed Of glass brick and
tile.
On top Of the tower . flasher
beacon for the guidance Of airplanes
Will be located and several groupings
Of lights ct lower levels will provide
decoration.
Meyer said the new tower and
equipment Is intended to provide bet
ter and more consistent radio cover
