titr*”
LONDON, August 29.—£arl Grey,
former governor genertl of Canada,
died today after a long Illness. Ho
was born Nov. 28th, 1851.
Lord Stratbcoma described Earl,
Grey as "a statesman and a philan
thropist in tho best sense.” Hls ac
tive career comprised not only the
administration of the government of
Rhodesia and representation of the
British government as governor-gen
eral of Canada, but Industrial and fi
nancial operations In the development
of South Africa. One of tho moat
noted movements to which he gave
hts support, and In which he was a
leading aplrlt was tho Public House
Trust Company of England, an enter
prise destined to supplant the ordi
nary saloons for the sate of intoxicat
ing liquor by the establishment of well
conducted public houses and to dis
courage the use of Intoxicants by sub
stitution of tea and coffee.
Earl Grey was an intimate friend ot
the late Joseph H. Choate, American
ambassador to Great Britain, often
visited the United Staten, called upon
Presidents Roosevelt and Taft at
Washington, and declared that he was
a lover of America. This sentiment he
gave as hls reason for restoring to the
United States a picture of Benjamin
Franklin which had been In ponseaston
of the family atnee Earl Grey's great
grandfather. Major-General Charles
Grey, was quartered to Franklin’s
bouse In Philadelphia as an officer of
General Howe’s staff during the Revo
lutionary War. The restoration of the
picture was announced by Eerl Grey
a . a banquet tendered to him In New
York, while he was governor-general
of Canada. In making the announce-
jment he said ho believed there were
higher laws than the laws of posses-
soin.
