House mm m m >.*.v • / Jesse Holman Jones, Houston lum- (forma n and banker, a Democrat, has | been named on the Reconstruction j finance Board He was active in the Cross during the War. - rr*, WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—Hearts weakened by long hours of work brought death Thursday to two committee chairmen of the house. Representative Samuel Ruther ford of Georgia dropped dead in his rooms at the Hamilton hotel at 7:30 a. m. Representative Percy Quinn of Mississippi succumbed at the naval hospital 50 minutes later. Quinn, a member of the house since 1913, had been confined to his bed nearly a month. He col lapsed several weeks ago while the military affairs committee, of which he was chairman, was con ducting hearings on Muscle Shoals. His stay in the hospital brought a temporary improvement, but his heart failed so rapidly Thursday that the 59-year-old Mississippian died before his wife could reach his bedside. Rutherford apparently had been in good health. He had just com pleted hearings before his elec tions committee on legislation to abolish “lame duck” sessions of congress. That bill was to be brought before the house in a week or ten days. Mrs. Rutherford was alone with him at the hotel when he collapsed. He died before phy sicians arrived. Dr. George W. Calver house phy sician, said both deaths were due to overwork. With these deaths, the house now comprises 218 Democrats, 213 Re publicans, 1 Farmer-Labor member and 3 vacancies. The third va cancy was caused by the resigna tion last week of Representative Russell Leech of Pennsylvania, who was appointed to the board of tax appeals. \ British Submarine Lost in Channel SWOlSK :*)&?
