FAMOUS FAMILY
Father Widely Known as
Publisher, Senator

Young John Medill Mccormick
was the son of a distinguished
father-the late United States
Senator John Medill Mccormick,
of Illinois, who died in 1925.
From the time of his graduation
from Yale, in 1900, Medill McCor-
mick had taken an active interest
in national affairs. He was ac-
lively connected with the Chicago
Tribune, with which his family
had been closely identified since
it's foundation. At the time of his
entrance into politics, in 1912, he
was publisher of the paper.
SUPPORTER TEDDY"
Mccormick was one of those
Republicans who joined Theodore
Roosevelt in the Bull Moose"
movement of 1912. He was vice
chairman of the Progressive ma
tional committee from 1912 to
1914
With the collapse of the Pro
gresSive movement, however, NC
Cormick returned to the Repub
lican party and was a strong sup
porter of the administrations of
Presidents Harding and Coolidge.
After serving two terms in the
Illinois general assembly, he was
elected a member of the Sixty
fifth Congress, in 1917, and in
1919, was elected to the Senate.
In the Senate, Mccormick was
one of those responsible for the
refusal of the United States to
join the League of Nations. He
was a member OF the irreconcilable
group in the hectic days of the
Senate debates on the Versailles
pact.

He was prominently mentionedI

Senator McCormick's avocation
was farming. He maintained an
elaborate dairy and cattle farm
in Illinois, where a speciality was
made of pure-bred cattle.
In 1903 Mccormick married
Ruth Hanna, daughter of Mark
Hanna, the Ohio Senator, who was
responsible for the election of

On Slope


The revelat ton that John Medill
dcCorrick had met the same fate
is his chum. Richard Wilmer,
ame just before sundown yester-
lay. A band of Isleta and
Sandia Indians from the pueblo,
n the valley below. were working
cautiously down the slope when
me of their number cautioned for
;ilence and pointed upward.
BODY FOUND AT DUSK
In the darkening sky, a buz-
ard wheeled and sWooped. Then
mother 1t was almost dark
when the Indians reached the
body. 1t was lying on slope be-
heath a sheer drop of nearly 40
eet.
A needle point Of rock hid it

But for the buzzards 1t might have

he U. S. Forestry Service in Albu-
luerque, Is miles away.
An ambulance was rushed to
1as Placitas, on the mesa at the
,oot of Sandia peak, the nearest
spot by road to the scene of the
discovery. The ambulance tried to
oush through a wagon trail lead
ng up the slope, but recent rain
had torn up the trail, making it
mpassable for any more than a
nile and a quarter beyond Las
PlacitaS.
Pooler sent up instructions not
20 attempt to bring the body down
until today.
Somebody would be sure to be
killed if they tried to bring it
down that mountain in darkness, "
ne said. But have the men ready
TO start down at daybreak."
IDENTIFIED BY WALLET
The Indian runner told Pooler
It had been Impossible positively
TO identify the body. Decomposi-
ton was far advanced and the
face was mutilated, possibly by
the fall.
The Indian, who had difficulty
with his English, said so far as
Pooler was able to understand,
that a wallet had been found in
the clothing. The wallet, he in
ferred, contained cards and arti-
cles that we're identified as those
Of young Mccormick.
Pooler withheld the announce
ment of the discovery until after
10 p. m. midnight EST. He
explained his action by saying he
had hoped to establish positive
Identification before making any
public announcement.
NEWS BROKEN TO MOTHER
Even then he withheld it until
he broke the news personally to
the youths family. He hurried to
Los Pablonas, the great Simms
ranch in the valley near the Rio
Grande, and was cloSeted for half
an hour with McCormick's mother,
Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick
Simms, and the latters husband,
former Representative Alber
Simms.
Pooler reported that Mrs.
Simms had borne up under the
revelation. She told him she would
remain at the ranch the rest of
the night but would start out at
daybreak to meet the carriers
coming down the mountain.
The mother sent out word to re-
porters that she would see no one
till morning. Later, her daughter,
Mrs. Cortland Barnes. said her
mother had gone to bed.

gift, for use in the refurnishing of
Stratford Hall, an antique mahogany
cradle nearly 200 years old. This lit

at Pecatone, the Corbin estate, which
was situated in the lower part Of
Westmoreland County, Va, only few
miles below Stratford.
Henry Corbin came to Virginia
about 1850 and was burgess and q
member of the Kings Council. He was
the maternal grandfather of Thomas
