THOS. R. MARSHALL
PASSES SUDDENLY
VICE PRESIDENT UNDER WIL¬
SON DIED IN WASHINGTON
MONDAY MORNING.
WASHINGTON, June 1.—(AP)—
Thomas Riley Marshall, Vice Presi¬
dent of the United States for eight
momentous years of its history, has
followed his chief, Woodrow Wilson,
into death.
Recurrence of a heart attack, which
sent him to his bed last Monday im¬
mediately after a trip from Indiana,
brought on the end unexpectedly to¬
day after reports had come from the
sick room throughout the week that
despite his 71 years, he steadily was
recovering from nervous exhaustion
and a cold. | j
Death came to him quietly in his
room in the New Willard Hotel,
where he lived during his two terms j
as Vice President. Propped up in j
bed with pillows after eating his j
breakfast with an enjoyment that!
strengthened the impression of those
about him that he was regaining his
health, he was smoking a cigar and
reading a favorite passage of the
Bible when the end came.
Suddenly but without haste, while
Mrs. Marshall was in an adjoining
room, he laid the Bible face down¬
ward, open where the fourth chapter
of the gospel of St. Mark ends and
the fifth begins. His cigaT dropped,
and he fell gently back, without
speaking and apparently without
pain. The nurse, who had been at his
side, quickly summoned aid. But he
was dead.
Brief Services at Capital
Brief services, attended by the Na¬
tion’s highest officials, will be held
late tomorrow in the hotel, and then
the body will be placed aboard a train
for Indianapolis, where the funeral
party expects to arrive at noon Wed¬
nesday. The funeral will be held in
his home there Thursday, under the
auspices of the Scottish Rite Masons,
among whom he held a high degree.
His body will be placed temporarily
in a receiving vault at Crown Hill
Cemetery in Indianapolis. It had been
planned first to hold the funeral at
Marion, Ind., and lay his body close
beside those of his parents and his
foster child, Clarence Ignatius Mor¬
rison, whose death at the age of 10,
brought one of the greatest sorrows
into his immensely friendly life. It
was decided, however, that Mrs. Mar¬
shall should determine later his final
resting place.
Telegrams of condolence and more
personal messages to his widow bore
witness to the esteem in which the
former Vice President was held by
those who knew him, regardless of
party differences. President Coolidge,
who followed Mr. Marshal! in the
Vice President’s chair, wrote a letter
expressing his sorrow to Mrs. Mar¬
shall as soon as he learned of the
death, and later, with Mrs. Coolidge.

cards.

SOUTHERN LEADER
CLAIMED BY DEATH
MAJOR A. J. TWIGGS, COMMAND¬
ER OF GEORGIA DIVISION
U. C. V., ANSWERS CALL.
Augusta, Ga., June 1.—Maj. Albert
Jefferson Twiggs, major general com¬
manding the Georgia Division, Unit¬
ed Confederate Veterans, one of the
South’s most prominent Confederate
veterans, beloved Augustan and na¬
tionally-known engineer and contrac¬
tor, died here Sunday afternoon after
an extended illness. The funeral
will be held tomorrow afternoon and
interment will be in the City Ceme¬
tery,
The death of Maj. Twiggs is a dis¬
tinct shock to his many friends not
only „ in Augusta „_______ but . throughout _________„_____ the ____
country, for he was a prominent fig
in the engineering world and was
recognized by the government as an
engineer of great ability. The
bridges and railroads throughout the
country are monuments to his mem
ory. His first work was the erection
of the railroad bridge across the Sa¬
vannah river, near here, for the old
Port Royal Railroad, now used by
the Charleston and Western Carolina
and the Atlantic Coast Line. His
last work was the building of the
Sand Bar ferry highway bridge sev
era! miles below Augusta which link
ed Augusta with the lower sections
of South Carolina’.
One of his works that is a monu¬
ment to his memory is the Interna¬
tional bridge that spans the Rio
Grande from El Paso, Tex., to Juarez
Mexico.
During the time in which troops
were sent to the border in 1916 Geor¬
gia boys, Augusta, Atlanta and Sa¬
vannah men, defended one end of
this bridge when firing started on the
Mexican side.
He entered the Confederate army
at the age of 15, enlisting as a pri¬
vate in Company K, First South
Carolina Cavalry, serving under his
father, Col. John D. Twiggs, which
outfit was attached to Robinson’s
Brigade, Butler’s Division, Hamp¬
ton’s Corps, Army Northern Division.
He was a man active in civic affairs'
being at one time a councilman and
a member of the Board of Education,
Messages have been sent all brigade
commanders in the Georgia division
and it is expected that hundreds of
veterans from all sections of the
state will attend the funeral tomor¬
row.
Rockefellers Lead
Ovation for Fosdick
NEW YORK, June 1.—Three gen¬
erations of Rockefellers have welcom¬
ed the Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Fos¬
dick at the start of his “thrilling ad¬
venture.” Sunday he made his debut
in the pulpit of the Park Avenue Bap¬
tist ehurch which he intends trans¬
forming into a free church where all
Christians may worship regardless of
creed.
Dense lines of expectant worship¬
ers two blocks long were turned
away. Police were called upon to
handle the crowds.
The sermon over, it was two hours
before the edifice was cleared of peo¬
ple. John D. Rockefeller was the first
to congratulate Dr. Fosdick for “the
eloquent and moving sermon.” John
D. Rockefeller, Jr., next clasped the
preacher’s hand. Then came his son
Winthrop.
John D., Jr., asked to comment, re¬
plied: “The situation speaks for it¬
self.”
The Rockefellers were besieged by
parishoners. The elder oil magnate
presented new dimes to several chil¬
dren.
Reads Third of Bible
In Twenty-four Hours
REDLANDS, Cal., June 1.—(By the
Associated Press.)—After twenty
four hours of continuous reading,
less than a third of the Bible had
been read at the First Methodist
Episcopal church, of Yucaipa, near
here, at midnight Sunday. Con¬
tinuous session of the church is un¬
derway for the reading of the Bible.
First Book of Chronicle was reached
at midnight and the reading was
about two hours behind schedule, it
was estimated by the Rev. E. D.
Raley, pastor of the church.
Instead of seventy-two hours, as
had been originally estimated for
the reading, approximately eighty
hours will be required, it is now be¬
lieved.
Members of the congregation are
serving as readers.

SUPPORT OF COIN
CAMPAIGN URGED
GOVERNOR ISSUES PROCLAMA¬
TION ASKING SUPPORT
OF PEOPLE
ATLANTA, May 30.—A proclama¬
tion calling upon all citizens in the
State of Georgia to rally to the pur¬
chase of Confederate Memorial coins
minted by Congress as a tribute to
the “valor of the soldiers of the
South,” was issued today by Gov.
Clifford Walker.
Georgia’s place in the leadership of
all Southern states in the distribution
of the Memorial coins is challenged,
declared Governor Walker, urging
subscriptions as a means of insuring
the completion of the great monument
to the Confederacy at Stone Moun¬
tain.
Governor Walker’s proclamation is
as follows:
Whereas, On March 17, 1924, Presi¬
dent Calvin Coolidge signed a bill au¬
thorizing the coinage of five million
half dollars in commemoration of the
commencement on June 18, 1923, of
the work of carving on Stone Moun¬
tain in the State of Georgia, a mon¬
ument to the valor of the soldiers
and womanhood of the South, which
was the inspiration of their sons and
daughters and grandsons and grand¬
daughters in the Spanish-American
and World Wars, and the memory of
Warren G. Harding, President of the
United States of America, in whose
administration the work was begun;
and
Whereas, These coins have been
placed at the disposal of the Stone
Mountain Confederate Memorial As¬
sociation for distribution to the public
for One Dollar each: and
Whereas, The difference between
the legal tender value of the coins
(50 cents) and the amount for which
they are to sold ($1.00) represents
a contribution upon the part of the
purchasers to the Confederate Memo¬
rial at Stone Mountain; and
Whereas, At this time there are
available for distribution throughout
the United States only two million
five hundred thousand coins, and of
this number two million coins have
been apportioned to Southern States,
the State of Georgia having been ap¬
portioned three hundred thousand
coins; and
Whereas, In distributing the Memo¬
rial Coin, it is necessary to have a 1
plan which will enable persons to
obtain coins at a uniform price and
in a uniform manner, and the date
set for the release of the coin to the
general public is June 13, 1925, and
coin certificates will be on sale at
local banks, at Coin Committee Head¬
quarters, through volunteer sales
committees and through other meth¬
ods which may be found expedient;
and
Whereas, Preston S. Arkwright, of
Atlanta, has been appointed by me as
Chairman of the Georgia State Com¬
mittee for the sale of Memorial Coin
certificates: and under his leadership
a state-wide organization has been
created, looking to the distribution of
these coins in every family in the
State; and
Whereas, on one side of the
Memorial coin will be the heads of
General Robert E. Lee, and Gen¬
eral Stonewall Jackson with the
words “In God We Trust” and on
the other side “Commemorating
the valor of the Soldier of the
South,” making this memorial coin
a precious keep-sake, which every
loyal Georgian will wish to hand
down to his or her descendants for
all time, growing more and more
precious with the years.
Now, therefore, I, Clifford Walker,
Governor of Georgia, do hereby call
upon all of the people of the state to
get behind this worthy movement and
by the purchase of Memorial Coins,
not only place Georgia in the leader¬
ship, but insure the success of the
great monument to the Confederacy
being carved at Stone Mountain.
CLIFFORD WALKER,
Governor.

Mrs. Alice Longworth
Boosts Beauty Cream
WASHINGTON, June 1.—Capital
society learned with surprise Monday
that Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth,
one of its recognized leaders, daugh¬
ter of the late President Roosevelt
and wife of the speaker-designate of
the house, is sitting for a portrait to
be used to advertise a brand of
beauty cream.
If speculation was aroused as to
the reason Mrs. Longworth accepted
the offer of the beauty cream manu¬
facturer her answer was set forth
in stories printed Monday. The
Longworth fortunes will be enriched
by $5,000 under the contract, but the
money will be placed in the bank in
the name of Paulina Longworth, the
three-months-old daughter.
Whatever society might have
thought of the development, it could
say: “It’s being done.” Queens, prin¬
cesses, princes and noble ladies have
permitted use of their pictures and
signatures in the advertising of va¬
rious articles. Among them are the
queens of Rumania’, Belgium and
Sweden, Princess Mary of England,
Lady Diana Manners, and Mrs. Reg¬
gie Vanderbilt, society leader.
The former President Roosevelt
also is said to have authorized a
manufacturer to use his name to in¬
dorse a product.
