OBITUARY.

SENATOR D. W. MOBBOW. AMERICAN STATESMAN. NEW YORK, October 5. The American statesman, President Hoover’s right hand man, Senator Dwight W. Morrow, died on Monday afternoon from cerebral haemorrhage at his home at Englewood, New Jersey. Senator Morrow was the father-in-law of Colonel Lindberg, the aviator, now in China on a flying tour with his wife. (Dwight Whitney Morrow was the man whom President Hoover recalled from Mexico tv enter the Senate, because the President w. shed him to pilot the London Nava. Treaty through tho legislative body. An overwhelming majority of more than 250,000 saw him win the Republican primary in June last year, and relieved him of the necessity of any very active campaign for the following November. At once there rose a new Presidential possibility, and there is little doubt that Morrow would have been a favourite choice for the Presidential post after Mr, Hoover had served his second term; that is, if Mr. Hoover does serve a second term. Mr. Morrow had received a varied training for the task of international affairs and national politics. In 1927 he accepted an appointment as -Ambassador to Mexico. He was chairman of the New Jersey Prison 'Commission of 1917, and of the New Jersey State Board of Industries and Agencies till 1920. During 1918 he was adviser to the Allied Maritime and Transport Council, and director of the New Jersey War Savings Commission. In 1925 he was chairman of the President ’s Aircraft Board. He was awarded the D.S.M. by General Pershing for “exceptionally meritorious and distinguished services” in connection with military shipping matters and the Military Board of Allied Supply. Mr. Morrow’s gifts were many. His belief in co-operation, his easy buoyancy, quick penetration, studious seriousness and inveterate curiosity were his most marked characteristics. He took his degree as a Bachelor of Arts at Amherst,, and was trained as a lawyer at Columbia University, and, though he abandoned this career for banking, he carried with him a lawyer’s methods and the methods of outstanding counsel in handling men. He was 58 years of age.) CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP. VANCOUVER, October 5. The death is announced of the Most Rev. Dr. Casey, Catholic Archbishop of Vancouver and Metropolitan of British Columbia, at the age of seventy.
