John Coit Spooner, former United States senator from Wisconsin, who died at his home in this city early this morning, after an illness of several weeks, was 76 years of age. Sixteen years a United States senator from Wisconsin, each one of which, in the words of President Roosevelt, was "a direct financial loss which he could ill afford," John Coit Spooner relinquished the position with which the legislators of his state had thrice honored him and retired in 1907, two years before his completed term, to re-enter the private practice of law and acquire a compe tence for his family and himself in his ceclining years. Regarded as one of the ablest con stitutional lawyers, a brilliant debater and one of the greatest authorities on international law In the upper house of congress. Senator Spooner, like. a few of his famous colleagues notably Ros- j coe Conkling, John G. Carlisle, Thomas Brackett Reed and George F. Hoar left public office a poor man. During the 12 years of his final law practice in New York he was counsel in much important litigation, including the fed eral government suits against the trans-Atlantic shipping pool, the naval stores and Oregon-California land grant cases. Born in Lawrenceburg, Ind.. January 6, 1S43, the son of Judge Philip Spooner, who removed to Madison, Wis., when John was 16 years old, the future sena tor received his A. B. degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1864 after having served with distinction in the Union army in the civil war, and for gallantry in action promoted to cap tain and brevet major shortly after reaching the age of 21. First elected a United States senator In 18S3, he served with marked distinc tion in that body until 1891, when he was succeeded by William F. Vilas.

So - clever Is Ray's portrayal of the country chap that the humor Is saved from any re semblance to the usual slap-stick screen play and takes on the fineness and art of a classic.
