CHAUNCEY DEPEW SUCCUMBS
UPON EVE OF 94TH
BIRTHDAY
TO BE BURIED SATURDAY
Illness Contracted While Returning
From FlorIlda Vacation
Proves Fatal
(By Associated Press).
NEW YORK, April 5.-Chauncey
M. Depew died today. Within a few
days of his 94th birthday anniversary,
America's grand old man passed
quietly away shortly before dawn,
surrounded by his family and
mourned throughout the country and
in foreign lands.
Funeral services will be held here
Saturday morning. Interment wil be
at Peekskill, New York, where he
was born and where a bronze monu-
men was erected .to him some years
ago.
Entering politics before Abraham
Lincoln first ran for president, Mr.
Depew remained until the last a
power in 'the Republican ranks. He
had intended to attend the Republi-
can convention in Kasas City this
June.
His interest in business was as un-
flagging as his love of politics, and
as chairman of the board of the New
York Central railroad lie was to be
found every day in his office high
above the Grand Central terminal.
It was less than a week ago that,
Mr. Depew contracted the illness that
was to prove fatal. While return-
ing from a vacation in Florida he
suffered a siglht chill and last Sun-
day a bronchial cold developed which
caused doctors to order him to bed,
but\ which was not believed to be
serious. Last night, however, bron-
dbial pneumonia developed, and at
4:20 o'clock this morning he died.-
Known Best As Speaker
Though he gained more fame than
is the lot of m-ost men both as an
industrial leader and a ,statesman,
Mr. Depew was probably best known
and beloved by the general public as
an after-dinner speaker of never-ail-
ing wit and optimism.
For 70 years he was in demand as
a speaker at all sorts of functions,
and his reputation for the wit and
wisdom of his remarks increased with
his years. His humor was never o:
the caustic sort that gets a laugh at
the discomfiture of any one, and in
all his deallngs Mr. Depew was
equally careful never to' slightor
offend. He cultivated people because
he liked them and he wvas often de-
scribed as the man without an
Although he lived far longer than
most, he never lost his keen inter-
est in lie and often expressed the
hope that he would reach the century
mark. His optimism concerning hu-
ianity was unbounded and his be-
lief was firm that the world was
steadily becoming a better place to
live in. He was a champion of'youth
and never joined with those wno pro-
fessed to see evidence in modern
youth of any lowering of standards.
Condolences Offered
Me sges of condolence and trib-
utes pourod into the Deew home
and the New York Central offices
from all parts of the country. The
great marble of the Grand Central
terminal, one of the busiest places
In New York, was draped in black.
Flags on state and city buildings and
many clubhouses were flown at half-~
mast.
Among the many tributes naid to
Mr. Depew three were typical. Mayor
Walker said, "He helped to make the
country a more cheerful place."
President Nicholas Murray Butler, of
Columbia university, said: "A great
oak has fallen in the noblest forest
of American life. No man in our
time has brought more happiness and
joy to hund-reds of thousands of his
fellow-citizens.' Bishop William T.
Manning, of the Episcopal diocese,
of New York, felt that his death
was "a personal loss to the entire
community."
BAN DUE TO BE
RELAXED TODAY
Automobile restrictions will be re-
laxed at noon today, it has been an-
nounced from the office of the dean of
students. There will be no effective
automobile ban in operation from this
time until Monday, April 16, when the
regulation will be re-instituted at 8
c'c'ck. in' the morning.
A. Marks,' '28L, ex-president, an-
nounced the new set of officers and
th, y in turn appointed the executive
beard. Every year the club spon-
sores an absentee voting system for
th^ sake of the eligible Republican
voters who are away from their
h.. ne towns at election time. For
this purp:se a special ecmmittee was
appointed in addition to the executive
board to handle this feature. The
new officers are: George E. Dagh-
erty, '29L, president; Kenneth C.
Keller, '29L, vice-president; George
E. Greene, '28, secretary; and John
