THOS. R. MARSHALL
DIES SUDDENLY IN
HOTEL AT BOSTON:
(Continued from Page One!
born in prison or a person to die be
hind the bars if there was a home to
which they could go.
Mr. Marshall was nominated for the
vice-presidency in Baltimore in 1912
after his name had been before the
convention for a number of ballots as
a presidential candidate with the In
diana delegation solidly behind him.
He was again renominated with Pres
ident Wilson at St. Louis in 1916.
Mr. Marshall prided himself on the
fact that he had always been “just a
plain every day average American
citizen,” democratic and unconven
tional, and to his neighbors in Colum
bia city was always affectionately re
ferred to as “Tom.”
He married on uct. J, lisab miss
Lois I. Kimsey of Angola, Ind. Be
cause of his deep love for his mother
he did not marry until she died. The
same devotion always existed between
him and Mrs. Marshall who always ac
companied him on campaign or lec
ture trips. With the exception of nev
er missing an opportunity to see a
baseball game, Mr. Marshall was not
an enthusiast over outdoor sports.
As for hobbies, he had just one and
that was Clarence Ignatius Morrison,
his little adopted son, who died Feb
ruary 28, 1921. While Mrs. Marshall
in 1917 was directing a diet kitchen in
Washington maintained for the poor
children, she was attracted to a sick
ly little year-old waif. "When they
went to their summer home in Michi
gan that summer, Clarence Ignatius
accompanied them. With the mother’s
j consent the child upon their return
was permanently made a member of
their household although no steps for
its legal adoption were then taken.
In order that the child’s mother might
be near the baby boy Mr. Marshall
secured employment for her at their
hotel.
Possessed with a wealth of human
sympathy for his fellow man, Mr.
Marshall had a quaint and subtle hu
mor which the pall of senatorial dig
nity failed to dampen. Many times
the humor was expressed at the ex
pense of some senator. Mr. Marshall
was a good story teller and nothing
delighted him more as vice president
than to steal out of the Senate cham
ber into his private office, smoke a
pipe and entertain friends by reciting
instances of his experiences as a law
yer in a country town.
I iuarsnan was an ommverous
\ reader, but as he once expressed it to
| a friend, “not at all a thoughtful
i reader.” He had a penchant for de
tective stories, wild west stories and
anything of a sensational nature,
claiming that the human mind needed
a rest from the drab, sordid details
of routine business. He liked mys
tery stories and frequently set up all
night to complete the reading of a
tale. He was also a Bible student
and often could be seen sitting at his
desk reading from the little vest
pocket testament he always carried.
Of moderate financial circumstances
he was always interested in charita
ble work.
“There are so many view's as to
what constitute true success that I
have no suggestions to offer. My
views of success are not generally
accepted. I think any man is success
ful w'ho is content to do well with
regard to the rights of others in the
particular thing God fitted him to do.”
Mr. Marshall w*as a Presbyterian,
an active thirty-third degree Mason
as w’ell as a member of the Phi Gam
ma Delta and the Phi Beta Kappa
fraternities. He also held the hon
orary degree of LL.D. from several
colleges and universities.
After leaving the office of vice
president in March, 1921, Mr. Mar
shall spent several w'eeks resting in
Arizona, following which he traveled
about the country for several months
on a lecture tour.

HIVE OF HONEY BEES
FOR LOCAL EXPERIMENT
A hnive of honey bees will soon
be placed in the garden plots in front
of the Arcade building, for Harry
Hobon, prominent Seward business
man has telegraphed to Yakima for
a hive to be shipped at once. The
idea originated with Mr. Hoben when
he noticed three hives on the ocean
dock, billed thru to Mr. McCain of
Anchorage. In a telephonic commu
nication with Mr. McCain, he was in
formed they were not for sale but
the address of where they were pur
chased, wrere given to him.
Mr. McCain said he experimented
with one hive last year and was very
successful with them, so much so
that he made plans for purchasing
the hives which left Seward yester
day. Ample pollen and nectar is
found in abundance among the wild
flowers and clover growing on the
hill and mountainsides near the city,
assuring the success of the local ex
periment.
JUDGE BUNNEL HONORED
BY BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY
Some months ago President Chas.
E. Bunnell of the Alaska Agricultur
al College and School of Mines, was
notified by President Hunt of Buck
nell University, Lewisburg, Pa., of
which he was a graduate 25 years
ago, that the faculty and board of
directors of the institution had voted
to confer upon him, at this year’s
Commencement exercises, June 17,
the degree of Doctor of Laws. Pres
ident Bunnell passed thru Seward ;
last Saturday on his way to Buck
nell University. He stated to the
Gateway he would be returning north
in about 30 days.
Judge Bunnell already holds the de
gree of A. B. and A. M. The honor
which is to be bestowed upon him
this month is said to be the 33rd
time the degrees has been conferred
since the institution was organized
75 years ago.

FORMER SEWARD RESIDENT
TRANSFERRED TO WRANGELL
The republished article below, clip
ped from an Alaska exchange, refers
to an oldtimer and respected citizen
of Seward, who departed for the
South last fall:
“Sergeant C. E. Smith and Mrs.
Smith arrived from Seattle on the
Queen Saturday morning. Sergeant
Smith is in the service of the Sig
nal Corps of the U. S. Army and has
been assigned to the Wrangell sta
tion. This is not his first experience
in Alaska as he has seen service at
both Nome and Seward. In the fu
ture Wrangell will have a half night
service at the cable office. This ad
ditional service has been granted by
Col. J. L. D. Hartman, officer-in
charge of the Washington-Alaska sys
tem, at the request of the Wrangell
Commercial Club.
The minutes of the Seward Cham
ber of Commerce weekly luncheon,
held this afternoon at the Seward
Grill, will appear in tomorrow's Gate
way.
