With him were Lady Doyle, two sons and a daughter. Sir Arthur was 71 years old. The great novelist and exponent of the occult was stricken seriously 11] about two months ago and his condi- tion had become more aggravated re- cently although his death today had not been anticipated. Sir Arthur’s death took his tamily Greatly by surprise. He had been un- der a physician’s care during the last six or eight months. His weakened condition was thought to have been brought on by his series of lectures last October in Scandinavia, in behalf of the cause of spiritualism. Until two days ago it had been thought he was getting steadily better. Then he contracted a severe cold. Sir Arthur died at 9:30 o'clock this morning. His sons, Dennis and Adrian Conan Doyle, and his daugh- ter, Jean Conan Doyle, were with their mother at his bedside. His end was peaceful, a family announcement stated. Sir Arthur was on of the most notedexponentsof spiritualistic belief, cooperating frequently in experiments with Sir Oliver Lodge and the late Harry Houdini, He . resigned in March from the Society for Physical As simply A. Conan Doyle he was widely known for his Sherlock Holmes stories, which rank among the world’s noted mystery and detec- tive tales. Adrian Conan Doyle, son of Sir Ar- thur, today paid a remarkable tribute to his celebrated sire. He said “He was a great man and a splendid father and he- was loved—and was; happy because he knew it — by all of us. “His last words were to my mother and they show just how much he thoght of her. He simply smiled up at her and said, ‘You are wonderful.’ He was in too much pain to say a lot, his breathing was very bad and what he said was during a brief flash of consciousness. I never have seen anyone take anything more calmly in all my life. Even when we knew he Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creater of Sherlock Holmes, famous detective of fiction, died ba a London, Eng- jan LAUNCH CAMPAIGN FOR REDUCTION IN WINTER WHEAT AREA Secretary Hyde and Chairman Legge Start Tour of Grain- Producing Districts Hastings, Neb., July 7—(?)—The government’s two chief agricultural spokesmen, Secretary Arthur M. Hyde of the department of agriculture and Chairman Alexander Legge of the federal farm board, today carried the campaign for wheat acreage reduc- tion to producers of the hard winter variety. Accompanied by, a group of depart- ment of agriculture economists and extension workers, the secretary of | ni agriculture and,.the farm board chairman set out on # swing through five states for half a dozen meetings with the growers. Today’s mectings arranged for Nebraska wheat grow- ers will be followed by others at Ster- ling, Colo, Hays and Dodge City, Kansas, Amarillo, Texas, and Enid, Okla., during the week. Chancellor N. A. Burnett of the University of Nebraska and Secretary Hyde were speakers at this morning's meeting here. ‘The secretary of agri- culture had an opportunity to bring directly to the growers of this region his theory that extensive adjustment in wheat acreage and substantial reduction in production cost must be made if wheat production is to be profitable to growers generally in the next six to 10 years. Chairman Legge was scheduled to speak at the aft program with Nils A.

To scores of country folk along the sands of the English chan- nel at Southsea, he was family phy- sician, That was in the eighties. To millions of readers all over the world, he became the doyen of detec- tive story writers. That was in the nineties. The chief character of his imagination, Sherlock Holmes, got to be the common coin of conversation. Any detective felt flattered to be call- ed a veritable Sherlock Holmes.

Stine, who is in charge of the department of agriculture’s statistical and histor- ical research, and Harold Hedges of the University of Nebraska rural economics department. A prediction was made by Hedges that if the present low price of wheat continues “the tendency will be for southeastern Nebraska farmers to turn to other crops. For central Nebraska farmers to cut down wheat acreage a@ little, and for western Nebraska farmers to continue to grow wheat on about the same. basis as st the present time.” He quoted to show it cost approximately $10 an acre to grow wheat in Cass county in southeastern Nebraska in the last three years. With wheat at 75 cents a bushel, he said Cass county farmers would get four cents per hour for their work. Larger fields and bigger ma- chinery made it possible to produce wheat in western Nebraska for about half the cost per acre which would return 66 cents per hour for labor, he said.

Fireworks and toy pistols killed 29, @ small percentage of the total, yet regarded as large in view of the re- strictions against fireworks in most parts of America. The automobile took 178 lives, and 121 persons drowned. Airplane accidents, heat, heart attacks induced by holiday ex- citement, lightning, and other causes resulted in 76 deaths. The fourth of July itself was a day of moderate temperatures in most sections of the country, a circum- stance having considerable to do with holding down the number of deaths from drowning and prostration. The week-end, however, saw a mounting mercury, with a consequent increase in deaths from these causes, In the Chicago territory yesterday there was congestion on the many beaches such as had never before been seen. Conservative estimates were that more than 700,000 persons sought relief during the day at the Lake Michigan bathing places along the Chicago shore. Chicago, too, experienced one of its most serious traffic jams, with an estimated million automobiles chok- ing her highways. Probably ‘because fast driving was next to impossible, there were only two fatal accidents. There were nine deaths from air- plane accidents yesterday, and several juries.

In the larger cities many hundreds were treated for burns resulting from fireworks. There were several unusual deaths.
