VICTIM OF ANAEMIA TAKEN Former Orcgonian Telegraph Edi tor, Well Known Throughout Northwest. 5 4 Years Old When Death Calls- I.ubors Wide. SEATTLE, Oct. 9. Jabez B. JCclson. correspondent of the Associated Press at Seattle and widely known through out the Pacific .Northwest, died here late today, of anemia, aged 51 years. Mr. Nelson was ordered to a hospital October 2, suffering from anemia fol lowing an attack of the grippe, and three days later was reported consid erably improved but liable to a slow convalescence. On Monday, October 8, his physician reported that ho failed to respond to treatment and advised transfusion of blood. Volunteers were forthcoming immediately from his office associates, and to supplement these the Press Club, of which he was a former president, the Mountaineers' Club, au thorities of tho University of Wash ington and the editors and staffs of Seattle papers scoured the town. Nelson was born in Detroit, Mich., in 1S63. As Associated Tress correspondent at Seattle, Mr. Nelson brought to his task newspaper experience from New York to the Coast, and an acquaintance with sentiment and customs in all parts of the Nation. He was one of a famous group of Spanish-American war corre spondents, and for a time during the war was stationed in the West Indies. Finally, in 1909, he was chosen to es tablish an Associated Press bureau In Seattle, and he continued as its chief until his death. No angle of the newspaper business was unknown to him. He learned the printer's trade in Port Huron. Mich. Ho was a printer on The Oregonlan in 1884-88, was telegraph editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in 1888-89, and rose to be managing editor from 1S89 to 189C. From this position he entered tho service of the Associated Press, In the New York oftice, to which he was attached until 1900. From then until 1908 he was night editor in the Kansas City otlico of the Association, returning to New York before coming to Seattle. Mr. Nelson was known to newspaper men of many states for an amazing fund of accurate knowledge of nearly every aspect of life in his wide terri tory. He enjoyed the confidence of political leaders, and on one occasion reported, exclusively night by night, at a . state convention, the probable procedure of the gathering for the en suing days, without making a single error. Few men in the convention or In the state could have duplicated the feat. ' The frozen roaches of the ulti mate north were as real to him - as Seattlo streets, and the explorers who wandered about them were his inti mates.

Mr. Nelson resigned from The Oregonlan and succeeded i'M mond S. Meany as news editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer andjiold tlipt position until 1S96, at which time he became connected with tho Associated Press and had been with Hint great news - gathering organization evor since. . He first worked in 180S during the Spanish-American War. being in com mand of one of the Associated iTess dispatch boats under E. K. John Hone, former managing editor of tho Minneapolis Times and New York Com mercial Advertiser. Mr. Nelson made a record for himself In handling work with tho Press from February to Au gust, 1898, and was active in the serv ice during the blockades of Havana and Santiago and made several trips to Porto Rico during that. time. Following the war Mr. Nelson was placed In charge of the Kansas City office of the "AP," thence to New York and finally returned to his "old love," the West, and located In Seattle again In 1909 and had been head of the organ ization there ever since. Mr. Nelson never married. He was devoted to his aged mother, who died In this City last ycafat the age of 89. for whose sake Mr. Nelson always con sidered Portland his home. Mrs. Nel son lived in her own home at 1515 Fast Yamhill street, and her son made frequent trips here to visit her during her declining years. The only living relative of Mr. Nel son here is a half-sister. Miss Marga ret McAddam, who is now in Seattle and was with Mr. Nelson when the end came. Said X. J. Levlnson, who knew Mr. Kelson well: "He was an encyclopedia of current history. Not only did he remember the news which passed through his hands as news editor or Associated Press cor respondent, but tho main occurrences of the entire world. He had a most re tentatlve memory, kept track of public men and public measures, and knew what every prominent man .in America and Kurope . stood .for. He was uncom monly industrious and loved the news end of the Journalistic game. His one diversion was botany. He -knew and loved every wild flower In Oregon and rould call it by its botanical name.
