Door for Seven
ST. LOUIS, April 17. (By Associat
ed PreBs). The R:ght Rev. Daniel
Sylvester Tuttle, presiding bishop of
the Episcopal church In the United
f States and oldest Anglican bishop In
point of service In tho world, died at
his home hero this afternoon. He was
80 years old.
Death came at 2:03 o'clock. He had
been ill since February 28 with grippe.
With tho aged prelate's death
passed the office of presiding bishop
of the United States, which Bishop !
Tuttle held by seniority since 1903.
Under an arrangement voted at the
Episcopal general convention of 1919,
however, direction of the church's af
fairs has been placed in the hands of
a national council with an elected
bishop as head. Bishop T. F. Gailor of
Memphis heads this council at pres
ent. ,
During his illness, the venerable
churchman was at times unconscious
for long periods while at others he sat
up, took nourishment and read from
his prayer book.
"Now I lay me down to sleep," "was
the prayer he would mumble. It was
his favorite ejaculatory ' prayer. "I
have never given up the habit of re
peating this prayer," he would say. ,
Sketch of Career
Daniel Sylvester Tuttle, presiding
bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
church, a bishop since 1867 and head
of the diocese of Missouri since 18S6,
was born in Windham, N. Y.. Jan. 26,
1837. His father was a blacksmith.
For years Bishop Tuttle was a famil
iar figure in the streets of St Louis,
and a popular preacher there, so well
liked that his Easter sermon in the
Christ Church Cathedral was a feature
of the church-life of the city and the
announcement that he would occupy
a pulpit was sure to draw a large con
gregation. Bishop Tuttle was educated In rural
schools near his father's home, at
Columbia tinlvorsity and at the Theo
logical Seminary in Now York from
which he was graduated in 18611.
Although his father was a Methodist,
Daniel Tuttlo entered the Episcopal
ministry and was made missionary
bishop of Montana, Utah and Idaho in
1867, and in 1880 was olocted bishop
of Missouri.
Bishop Tuttlo had groat physical
activity and his habitual gnlt would
have taxed the powers of many young
er men. In his seventy-sixth year ho
found pleasure in chopping down trees
and cutting firewood. Ho was vlgor-
ous In opposing a plan to make the
post or presiding bishop elective In
stead of Its going by seniority. The
"clectivo plan, ho argued, would tend to
make the presiding bishop of the
church a superior prelate, and would
give tho church what he termed "a
Hlldebrandian touch and tone."
A coadjutor bishop to asslsf "Bishop
Tuttle in the diocese of Missouri was
olected in 1905. Bishop Tuttlo was
married to Miss Harriot M. Footo of
Morris, N. Y In 1865.

finement In a soviet prison on a
charge of spying.

criminating document,
Grosoclose said that while he

were shot in reprisal for the as
sassination of a bolshevik com-
