-CONGRESSHAN HANN HOUSE VET, I ann Tllinois Leader Had Served 13 Terms at Washington | Washington, Dee, 1.—Death last night ended the legi®tive career of Representative James R, Mann of the second lllinols district, long rated as a glant of the house, Returning here two weeks ago for the opening of the spec ml session of congress, Mr. Mann, who had served his peopie for upwards of a quarter| of a century, took parg In the prelim- | inary work of the house. A week ago | however he was forced to stay at home because of a cold which he| falied to shake off, His condition at| first was not regarded as serio it was not until yesterd afternoon, | after onia had developed, that | it became alarming. Early in the| evening he rallled, but there was a | change for the worse as\the m;.h(‘ wore on. Shortly Iel‘om midnight with his wife and his physiclans at| his bedside the veteran of many | congressional ‘battle died peacefully. \ News Is a Shock | News of Mr, Mann's death was 1| shock to the house, for few of his| most intimate friends knew of his ill- ness, beyond the statement that he| had been confirmed to his home by a | cold, On the eve of the house vote | Wednesday on the shipping bill Mr. 1 Mann wanted to get out of bed and go there to be counted on its side. | He was told to stay at home and that | while his wise counsel would be help- ‘ ful there were votes enough in sight/ and he would be paired. But his | thoughts were constantly on the house where his record of service through 13 consecutive terms, or 26 years, had | earned for him the reputation among | friends and foes of the best informed | man on the details of government‘ that ever sat in either branch of con- gress. He was sent back for a llthw term by the people of his district in | the election last month. Was Real Power Mlnorlty leader in the house dur- ing the eight years of democratic control, Representative Mann saw the | soeakership go to Gillett of Massa- chusetts wheh his party again came i.ito power there but if the failure of his party in caucus to select him as speaker left any tinge of bitterness &, with the veteran member his friends| never saw an indication of it. De- clining then the proffered leadership of the majority, Representative Mann thereafter continued to exercise a power equal to. if not eater thnn; that of the speaker himsélf as chair- man' of the committee on committeeg, which controls the make-up of . the . house committees. ? Counting on his strength for a pos- sible house upheaval when the re- publican majority was cut to less than 2 score In the last®election his. friends again set to work qufetly. in his bes haif, but the Illinejgme er, who menths before had dedlared e never would accept the speakership or the leadership, quickly ended the move when he hearfl’ of it by’ reiterating what he said (hoR, | That | it ‘woula | have required ¢ powerful "effort’ to beat him if he had/gone out for, em\er of these mact«g» 8 the opinion free- |, Iy heid in thrfllbuge I Plans, .
