ROBS D. YOUNO, County Treasurer. October 2. 1912.?td. JAMES S. SHERMAN DIES AT HIS HOME Hop? was Abandoned in Morning and All Physician Conld do wan to Re lieve Muffering. Nominee for Vice President Again. Utlca, N. Y., Oct. 30.?After a long illness, Vice President James School craft Sherman died at his home in this city at 9:42 o'clock tonight of uremlc poison, caused by Bright's disease. He bad been sinking since early morning and It was realized that death was only a question of hours. There was a slight relief after 7 o'clock, caused by an apparent Im provement in the condition of the kidneys, but it did not prove real and I lasting. At 9 o'clock the patient's tempera ture rose to 106. From that time his condition rapidly became worse until the end. Mr. Sherman was unconscious when the end1'came and had been in that condition for hours. . Vnmily Presen!. All the members of the immediate family were witnesses to the final I scene. In addition to Mrs. Sherman .there were in the room there three V,ons, Sherlll,'Richard U? and Thom as M. Sherman and their respective wives:- It. M. and Sanford Sherman, brothers of Mr. Sherman, and Mrs. I,. B. Moore and Mrs. H. J. Cooking hnm, sisters of Mr. Sherman. Soon after Mr. Sherman's ' death Dr. Fnyotto H. Peck, tho attending physician issued the following bul letin: End Was Quiet, "The vice president died at 9:42 p. in., without regaining consciousness for a moment. He was perfectly quiet. II?; died in the presence of his wife, her brother and sister, his two broth ers and his three sons, and their wives. Ho had been entirely uncon scious since 7 o'clock, when he had a period of partial consciousness last-j ing for about IG minutes. IB; died In a uraomlc comas,-a result of Bright's disease, heart disease and arterio sclerosis.". ; ..* I 1 I V '. < 1' - '>+ ? l ? No Hope After Morning. Not since early this morning when his attending physician made the final announcement of his inability to do more for relief than had been done, was there the least probability of saving the patient's life, or even of prolonging it for any considerable time. It had been the doctor's hope up to that time that he might so stim ulate the kidneys as to cause them to resume their functions, but when he was compelled to acknowledge failure in this respect, he surrendered, frank ly acknowledging that the fight was lost. Since then he devoted his ef forts to keeping his patient (inlet and preventing suffering. His constant fear was that the uremlc poison In his patient's system would cause con vulsions which would result in in stant death. Dr. Peck was with his patient dur ing the greater part of the day. but did little for him beyond administer ing oxygen and giving him an occa sional hypodermlr Injection of mor phine. Comatose Ail Day. Due both to the presence of exces sive uremlc acid and to the sedatives employed. Mr. Sherman lay In-a state of coma throuhgout the greater part of the day. Only twice did he throw off the dense stupor which enthralled him. On neither of these occasions was he conscious for more than a few minutes. During one of the Intervals of consciousness he got out of bed nnd stood on the floor for a brief period. His woakness was such, how ever that he was soon compelled to lie down, a circumstance which in it sol f marked the rapid advance of his malady. Yesterday he walked about his room a great deal and in his de lirium Insisted upon going down in the street. While in his right mind today he . recognized Mrs. Sherman and Dr. Peck and spoke to both In familiar ? and I endearing terms. The entire Sherman family, consist ing of Mrs. Shermnn, the three sons I and :their wives, as ,woll -as'other rela tives, were prepared for the end. Kidneys Fulled. Dr. Peck attributed the crisis In the case entirely to the failure of the kidneys to operate. This condition re sulted in lining the system with a vir ulent poison whjch rapidly destroyed the patient's vitality. The poison transformed the hlstberto ruddy com plexion of tho vice presidents facfe,*t? a dark purple. AU day long'the Sher man home and * the local newspaper offices were deluged with**inquiries by telegraph and telephone^ concerning tile condition of. tne'vkV president. President Taft's Tribute. New York, Oct. 30.?President Taft was Informed of the death of Vice President Sherman at 9:50 o'clock, as the chief executive. and the secre tary of the navy were seated In the 13th regiment armory, Brooklyn, as guests of honor at a dinner to thorn by omployes of . the Brooklyn navy [ yard In celebration of the successful launching of the battleship New York, today.

President Taft at Brst made no comment after hearing the news. He remained seated quietly, concealing emotions which he might have had, until Commander Greaves and Con gressman Calder had finished their speeches. He then arose and said: "My friends: Three years ago you brate tho launching of the Florida, and you were honored by the pres ence of ?he vice ptevident of r\c United States, Vic?

Those who knew the services, he ren dered to his country respected him. 1 venture to ask this assemblage to! adjourn in honor of this great man's memory and that no further proceed ings be taken." A period of silence followed the president's unexpected words. The band came to the relief of the situa tion by playing "My Country 'Tis of Thee" and the naval oftlrers and men filed out qluekly. The president was escorted to his automobile. Tears came to his eyes. He went to the Pennsylvania railroad station in New York, where he was due to take his train at 11:30 o'clock for Washington.. Immediately after arriving in New York President Taft despatched the following message to .Mrs. Sherman: "Mrs. Taft and I extend to ypu o tr heartfelt sympathy in your sorrow.

Vice President Sherman had ren dered distinguished service to his country and his death ten years be fore the time allotted by the Psalm ist is a great loss.
