Later, | when it was apparent that he was | breathing his last, Mrs. Good and the | two sons were summoned into the | room. Minutes passed. No words werce spoken. Soon afterward every one left the room but Mrs. Good and a nurse. President Hoover was immediately notifled and a few minutes afterward he and Mrs. Hoover hurried to the hospital to comfort the widow and her sons, During this visit the President offered the use of the east room at the White House for the services and as- sured Mrs. Good the Government stood ready to render any possible assistance in_the matter of arrangements. Mrs. Good accepted the President's | kindly offer and soon afterward ar- | rangements were under way. The body | will be brought to the White House at | 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. | Sizoo to Officiate. | Rev. Joseph R. Sizoo, pastor of the | New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, where Secretary Good worshiped, will | officlate during the east room rijtes. ! There will be no music other than the | singing of two hymns by soloists from | Dr. 8izoo’s church. - The number of persons to attend | these services will be necessarily Iim- | ited because of the lack of accommoda-~ | tions. Attendance will be by invita- tions, which are being sent out today by the State Department. Besides relatives of the deceased and very inti- mate friends, those being invited are President and Mrs. Hoover and the Vice President, members of the cabinet, delegations representing the Senate and House, ranking officers of the Army and Navy and other high officials of the Government. ‘This will be the first time a funeral service has been held in the east room since the Summer of 1924, when Henry C. Wallace, then Secretary of Agricul- ture, died. Just a few weeks prior to that, serv- ices were held in this famous room for Calvin Coolidge, jr., the younger son of President Coolidge, who, like Secretary Good, died from sepsis poisoning. That same year, Mrs. Work, wife of Dr. Hu- bert Work, then Secretary of the In- terior, had services in the east room. The members of the President’s cabi- net have been selected as honorary pall- bearers. The active pallbearers will be from the military establishment. Vice President Curtis today appointed a committee of seven Senators to repre- sent the Senate at the funeral of Sec- retary of War Good. The committee is composed _of the following: Senators Deneen, Republican, of Illinois; Har- rison, Democrat, of Mississippi; Dale, Republican, of Vermont; McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee; Gillett, Re- ublican, of _Massachusetts; Glass, mocrat, of Virginia, and Brookhart, Republican, of Iowa. military escort of Cavalry and Ar- tillery units from Fort Myer and a de- tachment from the Washington area will accompany the body from theé ‘White House to the Union Station fol- Jowing the services. The. cortege is ex pected to arrive at the station at o'clock in the afternoon and the jour- ney to Cedar Rapids entered upon ly afterward. It was decided not to have Secretary Good's body lie In state in the White ‘House because of the lacking accommo- dations that would be needed. For the gumle of permitting the employes of he War Department and others who have been associated in one way or an- other with the late Secretary of War to view the body, an hour has been set aside immediately following the funeral rites for them to pass through the east O™ Hoover Kept in Touch. President Hoover had kept in virtually constant touch with the Walter Reed Hospital, from the beginning of Secre- tary Good's illness. As soon as he learned that the latter was suffering last Tuesday night, he dispatched his own personal physician, Lieut, Comdr. Joel T. Boone, to give any assistance necessary. Secretary of the Interior Wil- bur examined Secretary Good and both he and Dr. Boone attended the consulta- tion at Walter Reed Hospital the foly lowing morning, which diagnosed Sec- retary Good’s condition as being appen- dix trouble. At no time during his illness did the ?lte.ndtnz physicians attempt to min- mize the gravity of Mr. Good's condi- tion. President Hoover was advised from the start that because of the pres- ence of the gangrene and the develop- ment of peritonitis there was con- siderable doubt felt for Mr. Good's re- covery. He took a decided turn for the worse Sunday night, and Dr. John W. Finney, specialist of Johns Hopkins University, was summoned to the bedside for con sultation. It was then determined by the medical men that death was in- evitable and only a matter of a short time, It was following this disheartening news that President Hoover hurried to the hospital to visit his sick friend. He talked with the later only a moment or s0. That was th#¥ last meeting. Made Great Fight. Secretary Wilbur, in describing to the President Secretary Good's death, the nature and course of the latter’s ill- ness, said: “Secretary Good made a great fight for his life. At first there was fever. The most difficult operation was per- formed with great skill and without un- due strain on the patient. There was marked relief following the operation, but it was evident that an infection was involved, and since that time there had been a steady struggle by the patient against the spread of the poisoning | which had ben constantly present.” Several times durm? the past two days President Hoover indicated a wish again to visit the patient, but he re- frained from doing so upon the advice of attending physicians who thought | that such a visit would be too great @ shock to the patient. Out _of respect to his friend, Presi- dent Hoover met with his cabinet only briefly today. The atmosphere of cheer and purposefulness which attends the bi-weekly meetings of the cabinet offi- cers with the Executive was not evi- dent as the group formed shortly before 10 o'clock this morning. After being together a few moments, the meeting was adjourned. While high officials in the War De- artment and Army officers throughout he military service mourned the death of an able, conscientious leader, Presi- dent Hoover mourned the loss of an sble assistant and warm personal friend. Among the members of the cabinet, Mr. Good was one of the closest to the President. At a time when many leaders in the mPubHcm party were hopeful that President Coolidge would be a candidate, Mr. Good declared for Mr. Hoover and was credited with having organized a group of men who early advocated the President’s candidacy. Mr. Good was in charge of the precon- vention campaign, and after Mr. Hoover was nominated at Kansas City, he a: sumed personal direction of the Chica- g0 headquarters, under the Republican national committee. His devotion to Mr. Hoover, his ability and tact as a leader, soon caused him to be regarded as one of the most earnest and effective of Mr. Hoover's supporters. Mr. Good's success in furthering the interests of the Hoover candidacy in the Middle and Far West- ern States has been regarded generally as one of the outstanding accomplish- ments.of the-1928 campaign. GOOD KNEW ALL ARMY NEEDS Long Legislative Experience and Many Fights in Congress Made Him Familiar With and N All Phases of Department ional Defense Requirements. When James W. Good became Secretary of War in the cabinet of Presidert Hoover he was familiar with the needs of the Army through long: legislative experience. He had served as a member of the House of Representatives for 13 years, from 1909 to 1921, and rose to the important position of chairman of the House appropriations committee. In that capacity Mr. Good had much to do with the formulation of the appropriations for the War Department, as he had specialized in the allotment cf funds for military defense while serving on the committee. Besides his familiarity with the needs of the War Department, he also was of assistance to President Hoover as a counselor in matters dealing with legis- lation, particularly Government financial affairs. While in. Congress he had been one of the principal sponsors of the budget system and was able to ad- vise the President on questions of centralizing Government expenditures. The appointment of Mr. Good to the cabinet post was in recognition of his activities as “pre-convention Western manager” of the Hoover campaign, whici led to the nomination of Mr. Hoover as the Republican presidential candidate at the Kansas City convention in 1928. During the campaign he was in charge of the Western headquarters of the Republicans and was a leader in the task of winning the Middle Western farmers to Native of Yowa. Like President Hoover, Mr, Good was a native of Iowa, having been born at Cedar Rapids on September 24, 1886. After being graduated from Coe Col- lege in his native State and the law school of the University of Michigan he entered upon the practice of law. In 1906 he was elected to his first pub- lic office, city attorney of Cedar Rapids. Upon the conclusion of his service in Congress he returned in 1921 to law practice in Chicago, in which he con- tinued until his appointment as Secre- tary of War. In 1894 Mr. Good married Miss Lucy Deacon of Cedar Rapids. They had two sons. With the entrance of the United States in the World War in 1917, Mr. Good in Congress demonstrated his at- titude toward national defense and American soldiers. He led the fight in the House against the opponents of the national defense act and successfully sponsored two amendments “to put teeth in it.” g One amendment provided for the Government’s use of private facilities for the manufacture of munitions and armaments, while the other went fur- ther in providing that the Government could take over a plant if its owner re- fused to give the Government prefer- ence in orders during time of war. The latter was regarded as the first move toward the conscription of industry in time of war, Sponsored Pay Increase. Mr. Good also sponsored the move to increase the pay of private soldiers and sailors on overseas duty from $15.50 a month to $30. When opponents of the | w: measure tried to reduce the figure, the Iowan declared in the House: “Let us not make this a rich man’'s war and a poor man's fight There has been no ‘give and take.’ it has been all ‘take’'—take from the pay of the com- mon soldiers of the United States.” Under the War Department fell the task of caring for the inland water- ways and Mr. Good's familiarity with the Mississippi valley stood him in good stead in that work. Although he claimed that golf was his only sport, he seldom played the game. When his two sons were young he found his principal recreation in playing with them. At the time of his appointment as Secretary of War, one of his boys, Robert, then 7 years old, had set up a boxing ring in the cellar of their home at Evanston, Il Given Test by Son. “Dad. why have you been holding out on me?” In relating this incident to friends Mr. Good explained: “I told Robert that 1 couldn't let him know about it until the Prerident had announced the ap- pointm:nt He seemed to accept my explanstion and left the room. A few minutes later he returned with a pair boxing gloves and, handing th'm to id. *All right, if you're to be Sec~ of War, let's se¢ if you can fight.” " Another son, James W. jr, who rounded out a happy family, was a freshman at the time in Northwestern University. Much of Mr, Good’s success as Secre- tary of War was due to his ability in knowing how to present his requests to Congress in a way that would demand a tion. ‘As an ex-member of the House I Ahink I can lay. down the first.and most the-Republican standard. important rule for any man, whether Government official or private citizen, who wants to get Congress to do any- thing,” Secretary Good said once in dis- cussing this phase of his work. “That rule is: ‘Tell Congress the truth. Also tell it as promptly as you can.’ “By that I mean that if a member of the Senate or House wants any informa- tion, get that information-to him as quickly as possible and be sure it is ac- curate. Nothing irritates a Senator or a Representative more than to be held up or ‘held out on’ in the matter of in- formation. Those men on Capiftol Hill have a lot of work to do, and nine- tenths of them are trying their best to frame and vote for good legislation for their country. Therefore, they are en- titled to the co-operation of depart- ment officials. “I was gratified to find when I en- tered the War Department that the Army officers, from the chief of staff down, were already working under a system whereby they are always willing and eager to give Congress all the in- formation it wante. An Army officer who holds high rank and has had many years of experience in Washington was asked how Good was making out in his new job. “I am not a prophet nor the son of a prophet,” he smiled. Record of Few Months. “But I will say this: Secretary Good has shown enough in the few months he has been in office to make us Army men feel happy. He has the fac- ulty of grasping problem in its es- sentials; of making a decision and then going ahead. He is neither rash nor dilatory and we have not had, in my recollection, & man at the head of the ar Department who a more thorough understanding of how things get done in Washington.” & As chairman of the House appropri- ations committee for some years, Secre- tary Good was afforded an exceptional opportunity to learn much of Washing- ton and its needs and aspirations. He was heartily in sympathy with plans to develop and beautify the Capital. “There are improvements that must be made before Washington can merit the title of ‘the most beautiful eity in the world'—a title which I deeply hope will be applicable before many years hnv:] passed,” Secretary Good said re- cently. 'Young men and women who visit Washington take away with them .not recollections of the speeches they hear in Congress, but memories of the im- posing structures in which = those speeches are delivered. Their impres- sions of the seat of Government are concrete ones, gained in sightseeing tours to the points of interest. Nothing should be left unturned to insure a high and noble conception of the Capital, “I am sorry to say that I consider Pennsylvania avenue a disgrace to the city and the Nation. It is a street prop- erly belomging to a city of 25,000 in- habitants, rather than tq one so large and so important as Washington. For- tunately, the Federal Government is planning to beautify the south side of the Avenue but the north side remains untouched I realize, of course, that the war delayed the improvement of this thoroughfare, but the work should be pushed now without-abatement” Lack of Co-Operation.

His death increased to four the number of Cabinet officers who have fafled to live until the expiratiog of their terms. Maj. Gen. John A. Rawlins of New York, a gallant soldier in the Civil War, was fhe head of the War Department from March 11, 1869, unti! his death, tember 6, 1869. He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Henry C. Wallace was the Secretary of Agriculture under President Coolidge when he died, October 4, 1924. On that occasion the Chief Executive ordered the flags on all public buildings in the country displayed at_ half mast from the time of Secretary Wallace's death until his funeral, in Des Moines, Iowa. Flags on public buildings also were flown at half mast today in honor of Secretary Good. Russia Buys Steel in Silesia.

Personal gain l}muld have no place in such negotia- tions.” Incidentally, Mr. Good thought that ‘Washington has the best system of municipal government of any city in the United States. His opinion is val- uable, for he was something of a student of city administration. “Jim” Good, as his friends know him, was given credit for swinging the farm vote for President Hoover while in charge of Western headquarters. Him- self a farmer, he owned four farms and spent much of his spare time on them. He understood the farmers’ problems and could discuss with them intelligently friend and fellow-native of Iowa. Mr. Good was not a farmer by theory. He enjoyed getting into old clothes and doing farm chores. He was a lover of live stock of all kinds and in his younger days was considered a crack rider. He used to ride horseback six miles to school and back, but after entering politics he did not have much op- portunity to indulge in riding as a pastime. Lucrative Practice Given Up. Before the last campaign he forsook of Hoover boosters. Mr. Good among the first to advance the name of Hoover as a presidential nominee. He became the “pre-convention mana- ger” of tue Hoover campaign, spend- ing much of his time in Washington in furtherance of the cause. - His vigor- ous activities undoubtedly played a large part in the Hoover victory at Kansas City. The task of lining up the farm vote for Hoover was extremely difficult, chiefly because of the bitter farm-relief fight precipitated by the McNary- Hau- gen bill. The Coolidge administration was opposed to the bill, and since Mr. Hoover had indicated he would carry on the Coolidge policies, he became a target for farm relief agitato ‘Working under the title of “Western manager,” Mr. Good established a central headquarters in Chicago and began the job of “selling” Mr. Hoover to the corn belt. His arguments were sympathetic and his logic was con- vincing, Election day disclosed the ef- fectiveness of the Good campaign. Mr. Good’s family life was an ex- tremely happy one and in his wife he found a helpmate. Their romance be- gan in Coe. arriage came shortly after their graduation, Mrs, Good took her place in Wash- ington as a delightful hostess in con- sfonal circles and later as a cabinet tess.

Justice William Hitz of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia has set Thursday, November 21, at 10 a.ni. as the time for argument of the many objections and exceptions taken to the verdict of the condemnation jury con- cerning the widening of Benning road northeast. ‘When the jury brought in its verdict for damages sustained by the property owners on Benning road, whose land was to be taken for the widening of that highway, it also assessed benefits along Benning road and for several blocks off that highway. It is estimated that sev- eral thousand protests were filed. Individuals and citizens’ assoclations filed their objections with the court, the clerk of the court and the imission- ers of the District of Columbia. Many of them have employed counsel to pre- sent their objections. No testimony will be taken, no wit- nesses will be called in the case when it is called Thursday, but attacks on the verdict of the jury on questions of law will be argued before the court. Although there are approximately 25 lawyers in the case it is believed that the legal points involved will be handled by only a few, as many of the excep- tions are duplications and go to the same legal objections. # MAJ.

LONDON, November 19—Lord Parmoor, lord president of the council, in referring to the coming five-power naval conference at a London Labor party demonstration last night, said President Hoover had referred especially in his Armstice day speech to the ques- tions of freedom of the seas and to food port. “Let us wait until the time is ripe to attempt to solve these two questions, but both of them will be sympathetically approached by the government.” $900 RING STOLEN.

Once Struck as Student. By the Associated Press. CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, November 19. —James W. Good was the organizer and manager of the first foot ball team at Coe College, in 1891. A professor at Coe College recalled that Mr. Good. while a student there, went on a strike. This happened in 1887, when Dr. James Marshall was elected president. The college presi- dent was a striet disciplinarian and expelled several students for infrac- tions of the rules. In sympathy with the expelled students, many other stu- dents, including Mr. Good, went on strike and refused to attend classes. Mr. Good left Coe to attend Iowa State College during his freshman and sopho- more years, but he returned to Coe for his last two years of college work. In his college days Mr. Good was active as a promoter and made much of the money to pay for his college expenses in this way. BULLOCK MADE SERGEANT Third Precinct Private Prcmoted by Commissioners.
