(Aaociated Pros Uaaed Wta.)
WASHINGTON, June 1-Oregon
'.lost lu the supreme court today it.
I fight to compel children to attend
public schools. The court held
that the states In enforcing com
pulsory education laws, cannot re
quire the attendance of children
in public schools, to the exclusion
of private or parochial schools.
The Oregon compulsory education
law, requiring children between
the ages of g and 16 to attend pub
lic schools, therefore was declared
. Invalid.
Justice McReynolds, delivering
the opinion for the court, said the
inevitable practical result of en
forcing the Oregon act would be
destruction of the present paro
chial schools and other private
primary schools, which are engag
ed In a kind ot undertaking not in
herently harmful, but long regard
ed as useful and meritorious.
"Certainly there Is nothing In the
present record to Indicate that they
have failed to discharge their obli
gations to patrons, students or the
suite," the court continued. "And
there are no peculiar circumstances
or piesent emergencies which de
mand extraordinary measures rel
ative to primary education.

WASHINGTON, June 1. Tho
mas K. Marshall, war time vice
president of the United States,
died here today. He was 71 years
of- age. He passed away at the
New Wlllard hotel, wire re he had
been ill for several days with a
cold and a heart affection.
The end came unexpectedly, as
the former vice-president has
shown some Improvement In the
week he had been confined to bis
hotel room and plans had been
made for his return to his home
In Indianapolis, some time this
week. Accompanied by his wife.
Mr. Marshall came hre a week
ago today. On his arrival he
went to the hotel, complaining of
great exhaustion. When physi
cians were summoned, it was
found he -auffered from a heart
attack. He regained strength gra
dually, however, and soon was in
such condition that It was pos
sible for Mrs. Marshall to leave
the bedside to attend to various
personal errands. Death resulted
from a recurrence of the heart
attack which he suffered a week
ago. Tentutive plans were made
for burial at Marion. Ind., near
his father and mother and a foster
child who died recently. i
When the end came h was sit
ting up in bed reading from tbe
Bible to which he had turned
throughout life for consolation
and guidance. Suddenly slump
ing down upon the pillows be
passed aw&y without a word and
apparency without pain.
A sparkling sense of humor, a
knack for 'plain speaking and a
philosophy of life rooted in the
old fashioned virtues made Thomas
j Riley Marshall one of the most In
teresting figures of his time In
'American public life.
His bubbling wit washed out
every suggestion of false dignity
and his direct manner of expres
sion reached the understanding of
the millions. He prided himself
somewhat that he was not a diplo
mat and that he never outgrew the
tenets of that simple faith In God
and man to which he was born.

jof opinion and his refusal to put on
jthe cloak of an exalted reserve in
I high office worried his friends and
I dismayed his political advisers,
but he always Insisted that a man
must first of all keep pace with his
own convictions.
A supreme test of hi. fidelity to
that precept came upon him In the
jdays when Woodrow Wilson lay
stricken at the WTilte House, shut
off from the nation by a veil of
impenetrable mystery. Out of them
many whisperings of others in high
place In the government, there
j emerged a project to declare the

land to elevate the second in com
mand to the presidency. The sug

I thought of some members of the
I Wilson cabinet. But when it was
broached to Vice-President Mar
i shall, he declined with character-
' istlc bluntnesa and finality to have
I anything to do with It.
If he ever lost a moment's sleep
from the strain of those trying
months when so narrow a margin
'separated him from a lasting place
I among, the nation's presidents, his
close associates never suspected It.
I From the first to the last, in his
