A London cable states that the death has occurred of Sir James Buchanan, first Baron Woolavington, the million aire distiller, in his 87th year. He was the son of Dr. Alex Buchanan, of Glasgow. Tn his early days he worked as a clerk in an office near what was later his London headquarters. His business made him a millionaire and he had country seats at Petworth, Sussex and Knockando, Morayshire. Keenly interested in sport’, he had one of the most important racing stables in Britain and won the Derby in 1922 and 1926. Created a baronet in 1920, he was raised to the peerage in 1922. He was an excellent landlord and his ten ants at Lavington Park were nevertired of singing his praises. There if* no heir to the title, as his only child is a daughter. She married Captain Reginald Macdonald, who took the additional name of Buchanan.
