for political purposes. Named in
the same indictment was former
Gov. Steuenberg, then dead. This
was one of the few times a dead
man was indicted in the Federal
courts.
Borah's efforts to obtain trial
before he went to Washington hav-
ing been without avail, he appealed
directly to President Theodore Roo
sevelt, who ordered an immediate
hearing. Borah was his only wit
ness and the jury was out just
long enough to vote mot guilty"
Brief Stage Career
The case had stirred up bitter
feeling in Idaho and when the
verdict was returned Borah's
friends held a jubilee, lasting far
into the night. There had been
no charge that the Senator had re-
ceived any profits In connection
with the alleged frauds, the ac-
cusation being merely that he was
counsel for the Barber Company
at the time Of the transactions.
Borah came Of deeply religious
stock. His father was Presby-
terrain and often filled a pulpit in
the absence Of the regular minis
ter His own youth was spent on
farm. but his bent was far more
toward reading than hoeing the
corn. He had an itch, too, for the
stage, and succeeded in running
away from home to join a travel
ling troupe. His role was Marc An
tony, but an irate father cut his
stage career short by summarily
leading him back to the farm.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Unit-
ed States Senator William E.
Borah, of Idaho aged a. Dean of
the Senate, died at 5:45 o'clock
yesterday afternoon Pacific Coast
Time. Death followed cerebral
hemorrhage. He was stricken about
the time he suffered a fall in his
apartment last Tuesday morning.
The Senator was unconscious
when Mrs. Borah found him lying
on the floor of the bathroom and
he regained consciousness rarely
thereafter, sometimes calling for
his wife who was constantly in at
tendance.
With his death, one of the long
est and most colorful careers in
American politics ended.
An uncompromising foe of trusts
and monopolies from the time of
President Theodore Roosevelt, he
was famous as a staunch champion
for complete United States indepen-
dence in foreign affairs.
Senator Borah entered the Sen
ate March 4, 1907, and would have
completed SO years of service next
March. His term would have ex-
pired in 1913.
Government by Party
An underlying belief in the the
DRY of government by party which
tempered his notable independence
in political thought and action, set
its mark on Senator Borah from
the hour he first went to Wash
ington as United States Senator
in 1907.
Many of his friends were con-
WINGED it cost him a chance at
the Presidency.
Perhaps no more powerful, mag
netic figure walked the political
stage In his time than the Lion
of Idaho" He welded enormous
personal influence even when mos
at outs with the leadership of his
Party. Yet the urge that impelled
him to championship of under

for independence or human beings

Senator william E. Borah came
into the public eye before he took
his seat in the Senate through
the medium of the criminal courts,
in two cases as a special proSecu-
tor and in another as defendant.
Prior to the case in which Meyer,
Pettibone and Haywood were tried
for the death of Ex-Gov. Steuen-
berg, he had been special prosecu-
tor of men accused of having dyna-
mited the Bunker Hill and Sulli-
van mines in Idaho.
In this latter case the outcome
rested upon the physical POSSIBLE
ity of one of the bombers having
ridden from the scene down a steep
canyon on the roof of a box car
Borah gave it a personal test. He
had a duplicate train made UP
and took his place on one of the
cars. 1t proved a wild ride, but he
made ii and won MS case.
Just after his first election to
the Senate, but before he took his
seat. Borah was indicted in con-
nection with a western land fraud
case, it being charged that he
was counsel for the Barber Lum-
Der Company at the time it OBJ
tanned fraudulent title to Federal
timber land.

over northern Germany taking pic

concentrated their activity to Nor

were evidently photographing recent
trenching operations and also try

had shifted troops to that border
as the result of recent reported
menaces against Holland and Bel

A reliable source close to the
