O. P. Benite Leader Passes Away at Cambridge, Mass. Boston, Mass.--Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, who has represented Massachusetts continuously for 81 years In the United States senate, died on Sunday night In the Charles Gate hospital, Cambridge. He suffered a severe shock last Wednesday. He was in his seventy-fifth year. His son, John E. Lodge, and two grandsons, John D. and Henry Cabot Lodge II, and his secretary, Charles F. Redmond, were at the bedside when death came. Henry Cabot Lodge had served continuously in the United States senate since 1893, as Republican leader since August, 1918, and was one of the most prominent members of his party for a generation. He was born May 12, 1859, at Boston, the son of John Ellerton Lodge and Anna Cabot. Lodge's mother was of the line of John and Sebastian Cabot, Mayflower pioneers who helped to settle Massachusetts. His father was of aristocratic origin. * Statesman, publicist, author, lawyer and historian, Mr. Lodge's manifold activities made a wide impression on contemporaneous events. Chief prominence, perhaps, came to him as leader of the senate opposition to the League of Nations and the treaty of Versailles during 1918, 1919 and 1920. As chairman of the senate foreign relations committee and Republican floor leader, he led the contest with former President Wilson In the fight against ratification. He was the author of the "Lodge reservations" and was credited with a large part In molding the policy of the Harding administration against American entrance Into the league. He was born in leisure, but always worked. A principle laid down by him In early life was: "The first thing for a man of leisure to do, if he really wishes to count In his day and generation, is to avoid being an amateur." Although he apparently had no Intention of practicing Jaw, he worked hard and won a degree in that branch at Harvard, and then worked on a thesis on Anglo-Saxon land laws, which won him his Ph. D. In the three years that followed he was lecturer at Harvard on American history, and at the age of thirty was recognized as an authoritative historian. In the political arena he barely reached the .shoulders of his colleagues, but in brains and quiet power he ranked with the cleverest among them. Senator Lodge directed the course of the Republican members In the historic battle over the Wilson League of Nations. Wilson and his supporters directly charged him with responsibility for "wrecking the Versailles treaty." The establishment of International copyright, the regulation of immigration, the reform of the consular servive and numerous other items of notable legislation were largely credited to him. As member of the foreign relations committee It fell to him to take charge in the senate of the second Hay-Pauncefote treaty ant", of the treaty establishing the Alaskan tribunal, a tribunal of which he became a member. For years he was a member of the senate finance and naval committees, active in framing tariff, taxation and naval, as well as International policies. > /-, Beloit.--Catholics of South Beloit are building a new church to cost about $50,000.
