Former Philippine Governor

PENNINGTON, N. j., Nov. %
IA .-Francis Burton Harrison.
former Governor General of
the Philippines and member of
Congress. died in Hunterdon
Medical Center yesterday of a
heart ailment. He was 83.
A resident of nearby Califon,
Mr.. Harrison had been in fail
ing health for several years and
entered the hospital a week ago.
He served as Governor Gen.
eral of the Philippines from
1918 to 1921. A strong advo-
cate of the establishment of a
Philippine Republic, he has
been called the grandfather"
of Philippine independence.
President Woodrow Wilson
based his 1920 appeal to
Congress for Philippine indie
pendence on a report by Mr..
Harrison.
His history of the islands is
considered one of the finest
works on the Philippines and
their struggle for independence.
Adviser to Republic
After the islands were finally
granted complete independence
on July 4, 1916, Mr.. Harrison
served as an adviser to the first
four Presidents of the republic.
Before being appointed to the
Philippines by President Wilson,
he served five terms in Congress
as a Democratic Representative
from New York City.
His bill requiring doctors to
account for all narcotics which
they bought and distributed
formed the basis for the later
Pure Food and Drug Act.
After leaving the governor
generalship, Mr.. Harrison set
tied in a mansion in Scotland,
where he spent much of his
time hunting and fishing.
He returned to the Philip
pines many times. Recently he
lived six years in Spain. COM
