SEN A TO R ELKINS DEAD.
Prom inent L eader in C o n g ress P a ss
es A fter Long Illness.
W ashington. Ja n . 5.—Senator Ste
phen B. E lkins, of W est V irginia, died
at m idnight last night. A t his bedside
were his wife, his daughter K atherine,
and four sonB, David, Richard, Stephen
and Blaine, and the physicians.
D eath was due to septicem ia or blood
poisoning.
He was conscious until
w ithin half hour of death.
In the early evening there were per
siste n t rum ors in W ashington th at the
S en ato r’s condition had become grave,
and fears w ere expressed th a t he
n ig h t not live through the night. The
Elkins family, however, were hopeful
to the last and to the numerous inquir
ers who poured in a t the E lkins home
encouraging responses were given.
Though no funeral arrangem ents
have been announced, it is probable
th a t Mr. E lkins will be buried a t El
kins, W. Vs.
D uring the larger p art of his service
in the senate Mr Elkina was chairm an
of the im portant com m ittee on in te r
sta te commerce. As head of this com
m ittee he had charge of the Hepburn
ra te regulation bill of 1907 and of the
adm inistration bill of 1910. A ra il
road builder and owner him self, Mr.
Elkins had an in tim ate knowledge of
all questions affected by this legisla
tion.
He was the outspoken champion of
the bill of 1910 and, as such, fought
for its passage night and day for
months. Probably the longest speech
ever delivered by the West V irginia
senator was made in its support.
