of the United States by President
Cleveland in 1894. During that pe

occasions.' Once was in the debate on
the anti-option law.- when Senator
White made a profound legal argu

i the measure. -

Yorkers had been nominated by Pres
ident Cleveland, but both failed of
confirmation. Throwing to the winds
the custom which for 88 years had
kept a New York man on the bench,
Mr. Cleveland named Senator White.
He was confirmed within an hour.
Almost as unusuaj as his appoint

which he was graduated In 1S86. By
reason of his scholastic achievements
the honorary degree of .LL. D. was
conferred upon him some years later
by bis alma mater and by New York
and Brown, universities and the Uni
versity of North Carolina.
-Vpon leaving college he engaged in
newspaper work, becoming part own
e and editor of the T.icoma, Wash.,
Daily News. In 1889 he was admitted
t the bar of California and from
1897 until 1902 served as corporation
counsel for San Francisco. In the
latter year he was the democratic
candidate for governor of California
but was not elected. He received the
party vote of the state legislature in
1903 for United States senator. Ap
pointed a member of the interstate
commerce commission by President
Roosevelt in 1905, later becoming'
chairman. Mr. Lane was serving In
that capacity when he waa made sec
retary of the interior.
During his service on the Interstate
commerce commission he earned the
reputation of being a progressive.
His -decisions In the railway cases
were said to have been almost in
yariably pleasing to men of advanced
ideas. He favored for years a na
tional corporation commission similar
n- the interstate commerce commis
slon. with power to regulate all bust
nesa enterprises engaged in Inter
iate commerce as the most effective
remedy for trust evils. He also ad
yacated a commission form of gov
ernment for Alaska. He was elected
a member of the permanent interna
tional railway" commission, organized
in 1910 at the international railway
congress in Berne, Switzerland.
'-In 1916 Mr. Lane headed the Amer
I'.can delegates at a joint conference
with high commissioners from Mex
ico, as a result of which a protocol
ws signed at Atlantic City and
United States' troops were withdrawn
from that country.
When the United States entered the
war in 1917 Secretary. Lane, in a num
ber of public speeches, outlined the
country's purposes and urged business
men to show "sacrifices as worthy as
those of the men on their way to. the
trenches." In numerous addresses in
behalf of the liberty loans he declared
the defeat of the United States was
"unthinkable" and tha: the govern
ment was determined to see the war
fought to a finish. When peace came
"he devised plans for the employment
of returning troops, urged congress io
federalize the Americanization of the
' foreign-born, aided in the reconstruc
tion of France and other war-torn
nations and advocated Immediate
passage of a bill to give farms to
sojdiers. He was also active in the
Council for National Defense and the
American Red Cross.
Secretary Lane was a keen sup
porter of the league of nations cov
enant and advocated ratification of
the peace treaty of Versailles.
jn the summer of 1919 Secretary
Lane recommended to the president
the calling of a conference of repre
sentatives of American capital, labor
and industry to discuss economic
problems. The national Industrial
conference, of which Mr. Lane was
made chairman, was the result. As
chairman of the railroad wage com
mission in 1918 he helped to settle a
number of strikes and avert threat
ened walkouts.

Noted Jurist Snecumbs After Oper
ation for Bladder Trouble.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 19.
Edward Douglass White, chief jus
tice of the United States supreme
court, died at 2 o'clock this morning
at a hospital here, where he sub
mitted to an operation last Friday.
He was 76 years old.
The chief Justice had been uncon
scious since late Tuesday afternoon
when acute dilation of the heart oc
curred. Up to that time the attend
ing physicians had hoped for a rapid
recovery after an operation for blad
der trouble.
After the unexpected relapse the
physicians had not expected the chief
justice to live through the night.
The Rev. Father S. J. Creeden of
Goorgetown university administered
the last sacrament and members of
the immediate family were summoned
to the bedside.
Death was said to be due directly
to complications which developed
after the operation.
Justice McKenna and other of Mr!
White's associates jn the supreme
court called at the hospital when It
became known that his condition was
serious but did not enter the room, as
the chief justice was unconscious
Chief Justice White was. strictly i
rpeaking. the lone representative of
the south on the supreme bench for
a number of years.
Coming from a family of judges,
his father and his grandfather before
him havi-ng been on the bench. Chief
Justice White had had a judicial in
heritance as well as legal training.
His knowledge of the civil law was
generally -regarded as the most pro-
foand of any man that ever sat on
tb bench of the supreme court of
tthe United States. He developed a
specialty for questions of interstate
Vcommerce and his contribution to the
tlaw of the land probably wtyl.be a
permaennt one.
J . He was born in the parish of La
ffourche. La., November 3, 1845. His
'.parents were Catholics, and he was
tot that faith. His education was in
.Catholic institutions. .In his early
fvouth he attended the school at Mount
St. Mary's, near Emmitsburg, Md.;
.later he entered the Jesuit college in
New Orleans, and finally he went to

Kindly, Humorous, Efficient Pub
lic Servant Mourned.'
WASHINGTON, D.fc, May 18-
Word of the death of "Franklin Ifc
Lane came as a peculiar shock today
to the natlori'a capital, for so' many
years even -more hit home than Cali
fornia. There were manifestations' of
grief from the president to the mes
sengers In' the interior 'department,
who had known so- long the kindly.
humorous but efficient public servant
Messages of sympathy went to Mrs.
Lane from the president and Mrs.
Harding, former President
and scores of others. .
Mr. Wilson, did not make public
what he had said to Mrs. Lane of tbe
mu who stood by him in his cabinet
JJor seven years.
The b!6w fell most sharply at the
home of Mrs. Phillip C. Kauffman, his
only daughter.
To some of the former secretary's
most intimate friends there had come
before his death a remarkable mes
sage dictated by him in the- hospital
at Rochester, Minn., after the, opera
tion. The message ; showed that he
had undergone the operation with
full consciousness and acceptance of
the fact that he might not survive.
The message follows in part:
"It is Wednesday afternoon and I
am now sitting in bed talking to my
good friend Cojter. Until yesterday
did not clearly visualize any one

that it had a window except that
here was a place that noise cane

taken months, yes, years ago. Today,
most tentatively. I. crawled onto a
chair and ate my first mouthful of
solid food.- But four days ago I man

garded as pretty spry
'Never before have I been called

lives than I have or have less con
cern as to the future. Lo, I was to
upon deliberately to walk into the
Valley o'f the Shadow, and, say what
you will, it is a great act. I have
said during the past months of end
less examination that a man with a
little curiosity and a little humor and
a little money, who was not In too
great pain, could enjoy himself study
ing the ways of doctors and nurses
as he journeyed the invalid's path. It
has, indeed, been made a flowery. path
for me, as much so as any path could
be in which a man suffered more hu
miliation and distress and thwarting
and frustration, on the whole,, than
he did pain.
."But here was a path the end of
which I could nt see. I was not com
pelled to take it. - My very latest doc
tor advised me against taking It. I
could live some time without taking
it. It was a bet on the high card
with a chance to win and I took it.?
At this point occurred details re
garding the preparations for the op
eration, with a note of the fact that
a general ' anaesthetic could not be
applied on account of the patient's
heart, which "had been cutting up
some didoes.". The statement con
tinues: ' ; .
"For two days I had knowledge
that this operation was to take place
at this time and my nerves had not
been Just as good as they should have
been.' Those men who sleep 12 hours
perfectly before being electrocuted
know the great secret! For -40 years
I had been wondering, wondering.
Often I had said to myself that I
should summon to my mind when this
moment came some words that would
be somewhat a synthesis of my philo
sophy. Socrates said to those who
stood by after he had drunk the hem
lock, 'No evil can befall a good man,
whether he be alive or dead.' I don't
know how far from that we have
gone in these 2400 years.
"The apothegm, however, was not
apposite to me, because it Involved
a declaration that I was. a good man
and I don't know how anyone who
has the right to so appreciate him
self. And I had come to the conclu.
sion that perhaps the best statement
of my creed could be fitted into th
words. 'I accept," which to me means
that if in the law of nature my in
dividual spirit was -to go back, into
the great ocean of spirits,', my ..one
duty was to conform. "Lead Kindly
Light' was all the gospel I-'had.. I
accepted.'" '

St. Paul was the first city wnere
the plan of having postmen serve as
deliverymen was tried. It proved
highly successful, according to re
ports, and now is being attempted in
Los Angeles.
The plan could be put m errect in
Portland with little added expense
to the postoffice department, in Mr.
Jonos' opinton. and would cause an
immense saving to the store owners.
It is estimated that It costs approxi
mately 4 cents to deliver a parcel post
package, while It costs the different
stores from 7 to 10 cents a parcel.
Many of the smaller stores already
are delivering some of their packages
through the parcel post.
In order to handle the entire de
livery business of the city, it might
be necessary to Install depots in the
various parts of the city, the expense
of which would be born by the added
revenue.
