By RICHARD L. TURNER
Associated Press Staff Writer.
WASHINGTON.— (&) —Charles
Curtis, former vice-president, who
left an Indian tepee to scale the
heights of American public office,
ldied unexpectedly of a heart at
tack Saturday at the age of 76.
‘ For forty years he had been in
the thick of Republican political
!('umbat, and, despite his age
| death came just as he was plan
! ning a return to the arena as
fchampion of his old friend and
lfellow Kansan, Governor Alf M.
| Landon, for the presidency.
His passing shocked the capital.
Expressions of regret from those
now high in the governpent
quickly attested a popularity
which took mo account of party
| lines, by which his own political
ivareer was © rigidly governed.
| President Roosevelt said he wag
1 “deeply distressed.”
7 Funeral Tuesday
| Senator Capper, also of Kansas,
i one of the first to call at the home
which Curtis shared with his sis
ter, Mrs. Dolly Gann, , anngumnced
,H*‘uesasiy!h't‘f Tbm:vitm‘cim . He
i:said, would leave Washington to
night.
For several days Curtis had
| been suffering from a cold. Satur
| day morning he seemed much im
proved, and Mrs. Gann went
lshopping. Sometime afterward,
Curtis suffered a heart attack. 2
;'t'rightened maid phoned Mrs. Gann
{ to return at once and called Dr.
t(}eorge E. Calver, (:ongress;onal%
physician. |
l Both rushed to the house in
Cleveland Park, but ‘the former]
vice-president was dead before
either arrived. Dr. Calver return
led to the capital, called newspa
| permen and handed them a brief
| statement: !
“The Honorable Charles Curtis
former vice-president of the
United States of America, died of
a heart attack at 10:25 this date.”
Family Notified
Meanwhile in the living room of
the home, Mrs. Gann walkecd
back and forth until immediate
members of the family had been
notified. Repeatedly, she express
ed regret that she had been unable
to reach the home a few minutes
earlier.
“He died easily,” she said. “I'm
so glad he didn’t suffer.”
Then she retired to her room
weeping.
From the White House, Presi
dent Roosevelt issued a statement:
“Whether they knew him as a
senator, as the vice-president of
the United States, or as the man
that he was in his own right, his
legion of friends will remember
him, always affectionately, and
will mourn his passing.”
“l 1 was always fond of him,”
said Vice-President Garner.

Roosevelt and Fiscal Advisors in
Closed-Door Conference Saturday
BY MELBOURNE CHRISTERSON
(Associated Press Staff Wiiter)
~ WASHINGTON— (#) —President
turday canvassed the background
for an administration tax bill at
a closed-door conference which
coincided with the reported coll~
’apse of one wing of the congres
sional inflation drive, l
After a poll of the house, Rep

whip, reported that only 94 of the
317 house Democrats had signified
themselves definitely in favor of
the $3,000,000,000 Frazier-Lemke;
bill, designed to refinance farm:
debt with new currency. RBoth 80-|
land and Speaker Byrns asserted
the measure would be ‘slaughter
ed” if it came to a vote.
A late afternoon White House |
conference, attended by Secretaryl
Morgenthau and Daniel Bell, the|
acting budget director, revived pre-l
vious reports that the Roosevelt
tax plan might be sent to thel
Capitol next week.

Charged With Murder of
Wife Last October
JEFFERSON, Ga, — (Special) —
Dr. M. B. Allen will go on trial for
his life here Monday- morning on
charges of murdering his wife at
their home in Hoschton several
weeks ago, Solicitor General Clif
ford Pratt, of Winder, told the
Banner-Herald over long distance
telephone Saturday.
Dr. Allen’s case will be the first
on the docket to be called, Solicitor
Pratt said. The only thing that
can keep the case from being tried
first is legal absence of witneases,
‘he said. -
. Another case of state-wide In
terest will be tried during this term
of Jackson county superior court.
It is t¥at of = Raydo Bailey and
Ishmel Samples, charged with the
'“torch" murder of Lawrence Bar
'rett, aged Jackson county farm
er.
The Allen case is probably the
most interesting of the two, how
ever. The prominent physician and
hospital owner at Hoschton claims
he shot his wife in the abdomen
acecidentally, while he was moving
a pistol out of reach of their sma.lll
lchlld. He says the gun went off
‘'when he tripped over a bed post,
the bullet hitting his wife.
. Mrs, Allen was rushed to an
Athens hospital, where she died
the following dayv. Charges against
Dr. Allen were pushed by reiativee
of the dead woman. An indictment
charging him with first-degree
‘murder was returned by the grand
jury last Wednesday.
