THE MORNING OI.EGONIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1914. SHELBY GUlld'S LONG LIFE IS ENDED Public Career Extending From Time of Lincoln Had Con tinued Half Century. SINGLE REGRET EXPRESSED K.-S?uator 'Wished to Live to See Memorial to Martyred President Completed Views of Future 11 fo Given in Memoirs. VTASHINOTON. Jan. 28. Shelby M. Cullom, ox-Senator from Illinois, died hero today. He was ill more than a week. He was 86 years old and had been in public life nearly 60 years. Mr. Cullom's last words were a wish that he might have lived to see the completion ot the National memorial to Abraham Lincoln, who was his per sonal friend. Senator Cullom. who was born In Wayne County, Kentucky, November 23, 1829, entered public life at the age ot Zi. it is 67 years since he was elected to the 20th Illinois Assembly And. 48 years since he took his seat in the lower house of Congress. . Schoyler Colfax Then Speaker. When Mr. Cullom took his seat in the House of Rppresentatlves Schuyler Colfax was Speaker, Justin S. Morrill, of Vermont, was chairman and James A. Garfield, Roscoe Conkling, John Wentworth and William B. Allison were members of the committee of ways and means. Thaddeus Stevens was chairman of the committee on ap propriations. One day before he died, in recalling the Incidents of the first Congress in which he sat, Mr. Cullom said: "John Morrissey, - the prizefighter, who was down in the directory as a molder,' was a member- of that Con gress and there was another quaint character named Hotchklss, from one of the Interior districts of New York State. I remember a forcible retort he once made to somebody who referred to the assassination of President Lin coln as an act of Divine Providence: " 'You kill Lincoln and get Andy Johnson into the White House and then blame it to God,' exclaimed Hotch klss. "In those days Pennsylvania avenue was about the muddiest and ugliest street you ever saw. It was sometimes Impassable for carriages. I have seen wagons stuck in the mud and Burton C. Cook, one of my colleagues, had charge of a bill making an appropria tion to pave the avenue. Speaker Col fax called me to the chair in the com mittee of the whole and I helped Bur top along as mucn as I could, but Proc tor Knott, of Kentucky, got the floor and made a funny speech, ridiculing the bill and everything else and finally worked the House up into such an up roar that it was lost sight of and Cook never got another chance to call it up that session. Capitol Then Unflnlnhed. "The Capitol was unfinished; they were still building the dome and put ting permanent roofs on the wings. Washington was an insignificant town at that time and the best part of it lay east of Fourteenth street. The most fashionable residences were around Judiciary Square. Mr. Cullom was a deep and sincere admirer of Abraham Lincoln, whom he regarded as by far the greatest man he ever had known. He once was asked what he regarded as the greatest event in his experience, and he replied: "That question is very difficult to answer, because there are so many dif ferent kinds of events. I should re gard the emancinatio n Droelamntlnn of President Lincoln as the greatest of political events, the laying' of the At lantic cable by Cyrus W. Field as the greatest of commercial events, and the invention of the reaper by Cyrus H. McCormlck as having the most impor tant influence upon the agricultural and economic development of the coun try. By the aid of McCormlck's inven tion the farmer was relieved of his hardest work, his capacity was multi plied mrmy times, and he was enabled to extend the area of his farm and In crease his crop many fold. The United States would not be able to feed the mouths of the world but for that in vention." Von ot Retirement Broken. Mr. Cullom vowed, after he ha served six years in Congress that he would have no more of public life, but he became ' Speaker of the Illinois Legislature and afterward Governor. His career as a- Unit-ed States Senator began in 1883. His service in the Sen ate chamber was an unbroken one for 30 years five consecutive terms a record excelled only by two other men Senator Allison, of Iowa, and Sen ator Morrill, of Vermont, He entered the Senate In 1884, a spry, active man of 54. He left in 1913, a fading, tot- lering man or 84, but with a brain sim Drignt and active. During the last few years tii friend had seen him become so feeble that his voice in me senate chamber was not neara rartner than the clerk's desk. ms term enaea juarch 3, 1913, and he was appointed chairman of the Lincoln Memorial Commission, created by Con gress to superintend the erection of the $2,000,000 memorial in this city. Views as to Hereafter Defined. Mr. Cullom's views on the subject of the future state are included in his memoirs, only recently completed. He said: "I have no great fear of death ex cept the natural dread of the physical pain which usually accompanies it. I certainly wish beyond any words I have power to utter that I could have greater assurances that there will be a reuniting with those we love and those who have loved us in some future world; but from my reading of the Scripture, and even admitting that there is a hereafter, I cannot find any satisfactory evidence to warrant such a belief. Could I believe that I could meet the loved ones who have gone before, I do not know but that I should look forward with pleasure to the 'passing across.' Not having this be lief, I am quite content to stay where I am as long as I can, and finally. wnen oia unaron appears to row me over the River Styx, I shall be ready to go." CCLLOM EULOGIZED BY DTJXXE Governor Says Even Foes Concede Honesty and High Character. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Jan. 28. When Informed today of the death in Wash ington of ex-Senator Cullom. Governor Dunne issued a statement in which he said in part: "In the death of Senator Cullom. the citizenship of Illinois has suffered a signal less. . For 50 years this re markable man occupied public positions of honor and trust and even his most bitter political foe must concede he carried those honors and performed those trusts faithfully and honorably. The best proof of this is that he passed through the fiery o-deal of holding public office without having ever been accused of enriching; himself in pub lic life and died comparatively poor. The Krafter and corruptionists never dared approach this honest son of Illi nois and he remained a shining ex ample of honesty in official life. He merited and will receive the verdict of havint? been a faithful servant of the people. He should receive the honor of a public funeral from the officials and citizens of Illinois."

HEARING TO BE HELD TODAY Secretaries McAdoo and Houston, of Treasury and Agricultural De partments, Respectively, Are Honored at Dinner. SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 28. William G. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, nd Secretary of Agriculture Houston arrived from Portland today and were met at the train by Governor Ernest Lister, representatives of. commercial odies and presidents of Seattle and ther banks. The weather being fine. h Secretaries and their party were taken for a long automobile ride through the parks and boulevards be fore they went to their hotel. Optimism and faith, sounding in en thusiastic approval the record of a Nation's constructive enactments and inging through addresses formally welcoming the Secretary of the Treas ury and the Secretary of Agriculture to the Northwest, marked what was prob ably the most notable gathering in the city's history at the banquet in the Washington Hotel tonight. The banquet was held under the auspices of the Seattle Commercial Club, in honor of the Federal reserve bank organization committee, which is seeking information on which to base a division of the country into Federal reserve districts. Four hundred guests, representing Alaska and the Northwest, paid their respects to the Cabinet members and long before Secretary Houston rose to speak on behalf of the committee the big dining-room was crowded to over flowing and late comers filled the bal cony. During the dinner a dozen men dressed as Alaskan "mushers," with parkas on their heads and snowshoes slung over their shoulders, entered the hall and grouped themselves about one of their number who stood upon a ta ble and recited a poem addressed to tho secretaries, saying: - 'When you're handing around the re gional banks be sure that you put one nere." Mr. McAdoo declared that the cur rency law would "take the fetters off business" and made a long explanation of the provisions of the act. He de nounced the efforts of "certain selfish nterests ' to defeat the confirmation of John Skelton Williams as Controller of the Currency and said that there was not a more honest man in public life today than Mr. Williams. Mr. McAdoo said that lately he had been urged by men claiming to represent business in terests to advise President Wyson- to say nothing about the trusts." He predicted, however, that the anti-trust legislation now under way would be continuation of the beneficent effect of the tariff and currency laws. faecretary Houston said "The banking power of this Nation, in comparison with that of any other country, is so far beyond it as to scarcely admit of comparison. Yet there are persons who tell us we cannot establish eight or 12 reserve banks with regional dis tricts, even though they be co-ordinated through a Federal reserve board, and command the respect of European bankers, as if that were the main thing we were concerned aboutl" Addresses were made by the Govern or, Mayor Cotterill, Secretary McAdoo and Secretary Houston and by repre sentatives of banking and other busi ness from Juneau, Seward and Valdez, AiasKa; Tacoma, Everett.

E RULE CRITICISED WASHINGTON" PROGRESSIVES SAX COMMISSION IS WRONG. Granting; of Apprenticeship Permits Destroys Whole Porrt Pact, Declare Members. SEATTLE, Jan. 28. (Special.) The destruction of the whole force of the minimum wage law Is threatened un less the Commission turns away from its present intention to grant whole sale apprenticeship permits, according to resolutions adopted unanimously to night by the King County Progressive League. The organization put itself on record as determined to keep an eye on the Commission's handling, of this phsse of its work. The resolution followed a speech by Stuart Rice, who recently resigned from the secretaryship of the Commis sion. He made charges that J. E. Trenholme, as chairman of the King County Democratic organization, had sought to assess him as a party mem ber to help keep up the party head quarters and had made .it hot for the head of the Commission when Rice re fused payment, and that the present attitude of the Commission was to grant numerous apprentice permits, which wculd, he said, destroy the force of the law. Rice read from minutes of the Mini- mum Wage Commission. He showed that most working girls in shops and laundries stay in one position less than six months, so that if the Commission allowed an apprenticeship period few would share in its benefits. Rice charged that tremendous pres sure was being brought to bear on the Commission to allow extensive appren tice employment, and declared Gover nor Lister's sympathies apparently were with 'the employers rather than with the girls.
