NOTED JURIST, W. R. DAY, DIES AT MACKINAC ISLAND CONCLUDED FROM PAGE ONE. 15, last, after it had developed that the activities and requirements of the bench where he had worked tirelessly for nineteen years, had greatly impaired, his of all health. official responsibilities, he then went to his home in Ohio, as one of three justices of the Supreme court on its retired list.

While he did not specialize in any particular branch of the law while a member of the Supreme court, Justice Day's great learning was recognized and was selected to deliver some of the court's most important opinions, notably the United Shoe Machinery and the Southern Pacific-Central Pacific cases. He wrote the dissenting opinion in the United States Steel corporation case, decided in March, 1920, when the court divided 4 to 3. Was Baseball Fan, Justice Day was a dyed-in-the-wool baseball fan. He never lost an opportunity to attend the big league games, frequently hustling to the ball park as soon as he could lay aside his robes. The name of Justice Day is indelibly linked with that of William McKinley.

When the latter was elected President, Justice Day was little known outside of Ohio, where he was born in 1849. He had graduated from the University of Michigan, studied law in a law office, taken a few law lectures, and began the practice of his profession. He had elected judge of the Common Pleas court in Stark county, Ohio, when 37 years of age, and in 1889 President Harrison had offered him the position of judge of the District court for the northern district of Ohio, but ill health forbade his accepting. Praised by McKinley. Shortly after the election in 1897, President McKinley let it be known that he would make John Sherman, then old and near the end of his career, secretary of state, and that he would name his fellow townsman, William R.

Day, assistant secretary of state. "It is doubtful if the new assistant secretary of state had ever met a foreign ambassador until he came to Washington in 1897. Sherman could not carry many of the burdens of his office. The untrained diplomat in the second position in the department had to shoulder the responsibility of the department in such a tactful way as not to offend his superior. How well he filled the office, and a year later the office that Sherman had occupied as secretary of state was expressed later by McKinley when he said: "Day absolutely never made a mistake." It fell to Secretary of State Day to attempt avoid the crash with Spain over Cuba.

The shrewd moves to avert war were his. To him later, came the work of restoring peace. President McKinley selected him as chairman of the commission of the United States to meet the commissioners of Spain in drafting a treaty to end the war. The treaty of Paris is a monument to With this duty over, President McKinnamed him a. circuit judge of the United States for the Sixth circuit.

Here he served, until President Roosevelt appointed him to the bench of the Supreme court of the United States in 1 1903. Regret in Washington. WASHINGTON, July were many expressions of sorrow and regret here at the death of ex-Justice Day, who was known intimately to officials in every branch of the Federal government. Secretary Hughes, who for years was associated with ex-Justice Day on the Supreme bench, made the statement: "I am deeply grieved to learn of the death of Mr. Justice Day.

He was one of the finest men I have ever known. With sagacity, profound learning and untiring industry, he was exceptionally qualifed for the work of justice of the Supreme court, and it was a. loss to the bench when he retired. Before he went on the bench he had performed important service for the country as secretary of state, and it is pleasant to remember that at the end of his judicial career he was signally honored by being chosen to act as umpire in the determination of the claims against Germany. No higher tribute could be to an American citizen than to select him for this important position." WAYNE COUNTY VETERAN DIES.

POLICE LEAVE DEATH CHARGE TO CORONER Soft Drink Proprietor Arrested Following Burial of Boy at Fort Wayne. to The Indianapolis FORT WAYNE, July Coroner D. R.

Benninghoff expressed the belief that Charles Worthington, 16 years old, died of liquor poisoning on the night of June Johnson, soft drink parlor proprietor, who it is alleged sold the boy the liquor, was arraigned in court this morning on a charge of selling intoxicating liquor. The case was continued until July 17. The case may be turned over to the Federal authorities and a Federal charge be preferred against Johnson, the police said today. Detective Sergeants Junk and Kavanaugh, who arrested Johnson, said today they will press the charge against him. but that they will leave it up to Dr.

D. R. Benninghoff, county coroner, to prefer another more serious charge. think that booze killed the boy all right," said the coroner today, "but there is little chance of proving it now that the lad has been dead and embalmed for nearly a month. Because of the embalming fluid which has been injected into the boy's body it would be practically impossible to And traces of the poison.

Adams, who attended the boy in his fatal illness, gave "acute indigestion" A8 the cause of the lad's death and this was listed as the cause of death in a certificate fled with the board of health. "I am surprised that the board of health accepted that death certificate," said the coroner.

"Acute indigestion really doesn't mean anything. I know that health authorities at Washington do not accept "acute as a cause of death and I wouldn't be surprised if the certificates on the boy's death is sent back to local board of health. The fact that the boy went blind before he died, it seems to me, would have made any one suspicious. Yet I wasn't called in on the case until now, almost a month after the boy was Johnson is at liberty, under a $1,000 bond, which was posted soon his arrest Saturday. If no other charge is placed against him, local authorities will ask that he be given the limit for selling intoxicating liquor.

It is for this reason that the fling of A. Federal charge against him is being advocated.

LOUISVILLE CHIEF OF POLICE "IN BAD" to The Indianapolis LOUISVILLE, July members of the ministration wing of the local Republican organization are on the warpath for the scalp of Chief of Police Forrest Braden, ex-citizen of Indiana. When two patrolmen last night arrested Newell C. Gilliam, husband of Mrs. Alice Gilliam, the most widely known worker of the Republican organization, vengeance was declared, it was asserted today.

"Miss as Mrs. Gilliam is known to thousands of political workers here, tried to defend her husband when he is said to have resisted efforts of police to arrest him on A. charge of speeding. The arrest of Gilliam follows closely on the arrest of one of the editors of a morning newspaper, who avers he was nabbed without cause while going home from work and held in a police lockup for more than one hour. The effect of these arrests has been, it is said, to start a fight to oust Chief Braden.

He said members of the commission had denied the as assertions and for the joint conference to ask is an investigation would impugn the integrity of the members of the commission. Resolution is Defeated. President Kennedy said the statement was a serious matter and should be cleared up, while John L.

Lewis, international president of the United Mine Workers, presided, felt that the Cushing report was of sufficient importance to warrant a statement from Mr. Cushing or from Attorney General Daugherty. Mr. Lewis stated that the report of the coal commission "should not be tainted with an atmosphere of politics." The operators asked for a recess SO that they might caucus and at its conclusion Mr. Warriner repeated what he previously said.

When the vote was taken the miners voted for the resolution and the operators against it and it was not adopted. The practice of the joint meeting being that resolutions, only be adopted by a unanimous vote of operators and miners. ALL NOVA SCOTIA MINERS CALLED OUT GLACE BAY, N.

Pacific Treaty Joins That on Naval Limitation for Final Action by Senate. PARIS, July Press)The four power Pacific treaty signed at the Washington armament conference was ratified by the French Chamber of Deputies today. The vote was unanimous. The ratification Is expected to be followed shortly by the Senate's approval of both this and the naval limitation treaty, adopted by the Chamber last Saturday. The treaty relating to the use of suband poison gas and protection neutrals and noncombatants, and the two pacts relating to China are unlikely to come before Parliament until after the summer recess.

The two nine-power treaties, respecting the open door in China and the Chinese customs, are still in committee. so It seems certain they will not be ready 5 for legislative action before adJournment. The submarine treaty has been considered in committee and its report favorable to ratification has been completed. but no date has yet been fixed for discussion of the pact. Allay U.

S. Impatience. Premier Poincare long AgO announced his intention to rush ratification of the Washington treaties, but big questions one after another have come up to cupy the time of the Parliament and some opposition developed to putting the treaties ahead of France's more pressing problems. The government, however, began vigorously the adoption when It became apparent recently that the United States was impatient at the delay. Now that the naval armament and Pacific treaties have been approved by the Chamber with concurrence by the Senate considered assured, the government will not press Parliament for consideration before the recess of the other accords, which are regarded as less important to the United States.

Curzon Also to Give Views. It is learned late tonight that it is now decided that Lord Curzon will also make a Ruhr statement to Parliament this week and that possibly the government will send out a note to the allles at the same time. The statementa to be made by Premier Baldwin and Lord Curzon will both be comprehensive character, covering whole situation. The German ambassador had a long talk with Lord Curzon this afternoon. He was advised that Germany should be more active in discouraging sabotage in the Ruhr.

WASHINGTON PLEASED. Action of French Deputies Ends Long Delay on Two Treaties. WASHINGTON, July of the French Chamber of Deputies In voting ratifcation today of the fourpower Pacific treaty, coupled with the favorable vote last week on the naval pact, caused gratification in official circles here today, although some regret was evidenced at the forecast that the three other Washington treaties would not be put through at once. The five treatles negotiated at the arms conference are independent documents, but to a certain degree they were designed to supplement each other and to extend the effectiveness of the general plan contemplated by the conference for removing possible causes of war. Although there will be no barrier to putting into effect the naval treaty and the Pacific treaty, even though French ratification of the other treaties is delayed, the result of that delay may be to develop a somewhat peculiar sit- uation.

Chinese Pacts Important. The Chinese treaties, one dealing with customs matters in China, and the other with political questions there, were worked out as a very vital element in the project of assuring peace in the Pacific. For a somewhat different reason the delay over the submarine and gag watcials a here. fare treaty is 8. cause of regret to offiThe submarine provisions of the treaty probably are of greater importance to Great Britain, than to the other signatories because of her geographical situation.

It is to be recalled that the British delegation at the conference sought to outlaw submarines entirely, The Root resolutions embodied in the submarine and gas warfare treaty were written for the purpose of finding a. compromise ground in which naval opinion of all the powers could combine. In the absence of the text of the French government's proposed reservation to the submarine clauses, officials here are unwilling to comment on the effect. It is to be assumed that the British fully understand what probable has been suggested by the Paris government. So far as known here, no question has yet been raised from British sources as to the intent or effect of the French reservation.
