AT HOI
Former Associate Justice
Of Supreme Court Is
Illness Victim
Mr. Pitney Was 66 Years
Of Age; Death Comes
After Midnight
WASHINGTON, Dec. 0. OP)
Former Justice Mahlon Pitney of the
supreme court died her early today.
Death occurred In the houra Imme
diately after midnight. Justice l'ltney
was 00 years of ago and retired from
the bcLi li been use of ill health, De
cember 81, 1022.
Associate Justice Mohlon 1 Titney
was forced by illness to retire from
the United (States supreme court at
the hoighth of his usefulness. Entbu
siastic aud tireless In devotion to
duty, be unstintlngly drew upon his
reserve strength until a seemingly
.sound and vigorous constitution was
undermined, and the collapse came
without warning to hla associates up
on tbe bench or the public generally.
The stroke fell while he was visit
ing Philadelphia to Join with Chief
Justice Taft and other member! of
the Supreme Court in the rededication
: of the room in independence uau
where the court had held ita firat sea
' sions. There a blood-clot formed in
his brain, but prompt medical atten-
dance enabled him to return to Wash
I ington. By careful nursing he re
1 tnajned upon the bench through the
remainder of the term, few suspect
ing his real condition. He delivered
three opinions after his affliction,
those in attendance attributing his
husky voice and thick enunciation to
temporary bronchial trouble, instead
of semi-paralysis of the vocal chords.
Hat Second Stroke. I
Hope that he would be sufficiently
Testqred during tbe recess to permit
him to resume his judicial duties when
the court reconvened in October was
dissipated by a second stroke in Au
gust, 10i!2. Then bis fsmily was ad
vised by attending physicisns that the
genial justice, widely admired for his
ability and kindly disposition, was
doomed to forced retirement. Ha re
luctantly recognised tbe inevitable,
and tendered his resignation to take
effect December 31, 1922. He was
succeeded upon the bench by Justice
Edward T. Banford.
Congress promptly authorised bis
retirement. Although he bad served u
on the supreme bench nearly 11 years
he was not eligible for retirement un
der the usual regulation because only

Horn at Murrlstown, N. J., Feb
ruary 5, ISoS, he was graduated from
Princeton nt the ago of 81, and took
up the study of law in his father's
office, being admitted to the bar three
yearn Inter without having atlonded
n low school. After practicing law
twelve years' he was elected to tho
Mth congress as a republican. The
Alaska boundary dispute wbb dt that
time the llvo Issue, and he entorcd
with characteristic thoroughness Into
tho subject. So excellent was his
preparation as a member of the house
committee which had the Bubject in
charge, that be was chosen -to pre
sent the committee report to the
house, and represent the committee in
i the floor proceedings.
I He was ro-clectod to the 63th con
gress, 4mt rcsigued before tho .end of
tho term to run for tho stato senate.
The senatorial district in which ho
I contested waa considered overwhelm-
! Ingly democratic, but, uuillsinayed, he
entered the fray, and aHtouished his
friends as well as his political oppo
nents by emerging victorious. Ills
services In tho state senate were so
successful that In the second year
of his term he was selected by his re
publican colleagues to bo inujnrlly
floor leader, mid during the third
year be was chosen president of the
senate. He presided over tho stale
convention which gave New Jersey
her first republican governor In many
years in tho person of John W.
(Iriggs, afterwsnls attorney general
of the United Mules.

of the League of Nations decided at
a private session today to accede to
England's .request and postpone con
sideration of tiie Geneva peuce proto
col and arrangomente for a disarma
ment conference until the Mar;ii
meeting of the council.
'All the members of the councl
participated in the debute on the Brit
ish motion for postponement and dli
accounts given of the meeting agree
that it was entirely friendly and har
monious, Austen Chamberluin, British secre
tary for foreign affairs, assured the
council that tbe Britiah request was
nnrely a question of delay. The coun
cil accepted this assurance ond'adopt
ed a resolution decluriog in effect
that the retardation authorized dues
not In any way prejudice tbe proto
col. The sense of the session, It was
stated, waa pronounced in the view
that tbe protocol was a living instru
ment, as evidenced by tile fact that it
was signed yesterday by Spain while
tbe British move for adjournment of
the discussion was still pending.

le of the government, which would
also adhere to the policy of encour
aging empire settlement aud mutual
trade, submitting to praliamcnt a rec
ommendation for furliier irpperlal pre
ferences based on the proceedings of
last year's imperial economic confer
ences. As a whole the bpeech with which
the king formally opened the fifth
parliament of his reign was an un
usually comprehensive one, consider
ed by the political world as likely to
take place as an histories! document
of exceptional Importance.
Speech Follow) Policy.
The speecii was a more or less full
statement of the new conservative
government's policy at ''home and
abroad and its completeness is eaid to
have been Inspired by the fact that
the government with Its safe majority,
Is faced with 'a five year tenure vf
office unless tho unexpected happens.
Not the least Interesting item iu
tho speech was tho announcement
wililuh hnis hitherto .been aarcfully
guarded from publicity, that tho
Prliico of Wales would visit Argentina
next year at the iuvitatlon of the
president of the republic. Thus the
activities of tlie beir to the throne,
who tlesplto his youth baa been frn
quently characterised as Great Brit
ain's greatest ambassudor of good will
aro to be extended to the South Amer
ican continent for the first time.
Attention It Held.
The king's speech, freighted as It
was with pronouncements of the first
Importance, held the closest atten
tion of the brilliant assemblsge of
scarlet robed peers, datsllng attired
peeresses snd members of tiie house
of commons In conventional morning
garb.
Never In the olden days wss the
ceremony of opening the parliament
carried out with greater, regard fur
splendor.
The klng'a references to the, Sing
spore naval base and tiie prince's vis
it to .South America produced mo
ments when the silence which the
crowded floor and galleries usually
maintain during the speech of tho
ruler, wss Interrupted. Twice hi
majesty was forced to pause for a
few seconds owing to the stir amoug
bit hearera.
Speaks of Egypt.
King (ieorge'a reference to the
Egyptian crisis, bluntly and force
fully worded by his ministers is con
sidered definitely to havo settled
(rent Britain's attitude toward Egypt.
England maintains her ".Monroe
Doctrine," lu this region. The 7ax-
loul government, was directly charged
with Inspiring hostility towards
(Jrest Britain, culminating in the mur
der nf tho sirdar.
The pronouncement with regard to
Russia definitely recorded t negation
to tiie efforts of Prims Minister Mac
Donald during the labor government
regime fur wider dealinga with the
Soviets, but this caused no aurprUo,

Those who are working for the end
that the liritish empire ahull become
self-supporting found much eucoili
ugemcnt in the king's pronouncement
for Imperial preference aud closer co
operation between nil branches of tho
empire.
".My relations with the foreign pow
ers continue to bo friendly,"-thc king
said, "A campaign of hostility to Urit

"My government hue not yet had

tho sttontlon which its character de
mands. They have already begun to
exumlue this weighty question.
' ".My government Is unahto to recom

August 8. It is my desire Unit normal
intercourse between the two coun

that sttniuuiKUt of this- object will be
made possible by strict fulfillment of
those conditions of friendly Interna

repeatedly placed before the Soviet
government and accepted by. them,
imrticularly at tbe moment of estab

MIAMI, Fla.. Dec. I). OP) Claim
ed to be the tallest building in the
world in the samo latitude:, tho Miami
Daily News tower, now nearing com
pletion, will servo both to house of
fices and to act as a lighthouse. ,H
will have the distinction of being the
only business structure known. to fill
this dual purpose.
Built on the Spanish style of archi
tecture, the tower will rise 2S3 feet
above the level of Blscayne Fay. Atop
tho tower will be a beacon light, vis
ible AO miles away, aud serving to
guide both north and south-bound
vcssela along tho Gulf stream. In
many other respects the building will
be unlqiio in the United StntoR. De
signed by n New York firm of archi
tects, it will be a copy of the famous
Cilralda tower in Seville, Spain.
With walls of sjucco, elaborate bal
conies and iron grill work, the whims
and beauties of old Spain will be
wrought into lusting brick, stono and
iron.
Location of tlfo newspaper office? is
ideal from a viewpoint of beauty. It
is along a driveway fringed with coco
nut palms and faces the shimmering
blue waters of Hiscayne Bay. Direct
ly in front of it tho city of Miami is
filling in a new city pork at an ex
pense of several million dollars, and
all other city improvements ire trend
ing in ita direction.
Newspaper work will be done in
tho three-storied structure that serves
as a base for the tower. Tho 15 stor
ies of the tower will be entirely for
business offices and will be separate
from the' newspaper section, except
iu actual structure. (In top of the
tower, a copy of a Snanish calleon
( will serve as a weather vane, a sym-
; boi visible for miles in every direc
; tlon.
The building is being erected by
