GUTHRIE'S DEATH FELT IN CAPITAL Late Ambassador Was High in Democratic Party Councils in Pennsylvania Washington, March 9. —George W. Guthrie, American ambassador to Japan sjnee 1913 died suddenly of apoplexy yesterday at Toklo. Only u brief cablegram announcing his death, but giving no detaails, had reached the State Department last night. The affairs of the embassy have been taken over by Post Wheeler, the first secre tary, who will act as charge until a. new Ambassador is named. Mr. Guthrie, prominent in Pentisyl | vania and national Democratic politics j for many years, was among the first i diplomatic representatives appointed |by President Wilson. He sailed for Japan in July, 1913, and has been at his post constantly since that time ex cept for a short visit to the United States in 1915. lie has acted for his government in several important diplomatic exchanges with Japan, in cluding the California anti-alien con troversy. News of the Ambassador's death caused a shock at the State Depart ment, as there had been no reports indicating failure of his robust health. I He was sixty-eight years old, and; when ho visited Washington lie ap-1 peared particularly well. The State Department cabled a mes- I sage of condolence to Mrs. Guthrie. | who is understood to have been with l her husband at the time of his death. I Provision is made in the department! regulations for bringing home the bodies of diplomatic officers who die at their posts, and this power will be exercised In the case of the late Am bassador, unless Mrs. Guthrie ar ranges otherwise or decides to accept the expected tender of a Japanese warship. Mr. Wheeler, now in charge of the embassy, has had a wide diplomatic experience, and the department feels that he is fully capable of conducting its business for an indefinite period, pending the.apointment of a new Am bassador. Because of the importance of relations with Japan just now, it is expected that President Wilson will exercise great deliberation in filling the vacancy. Since 1912 Mr. Guthrie had been frequently and responsibly mentioned as a candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, first in 191 1 when M>Cormick became the nominee after a primary battle with Michael .1. Ryan, now a member of the Public Service Commission, and again at this time, when the party is casting about for a candidate for next year's elec tion.

HART "Writing and dramatizing a picture story for Bill Hart requires more than a knowledge of plot and construction and photoplay technique," says Mont<- M. Katterjohn, the author of the latest Triangle-Kay Bee drama of a western bad man, entitled "The Gun Fighter," in which Thomas H. Ince presents Hart as star, at the Colonial Theater to-day and to-morrow. "For months I have conversed with Bill nearly every day," continues the author, "and a close observation of his versatile face is responsible for 'The Gun Fighter.' Sometimes 1 would pur posely cross him to bring out a hint of the expression, and once I had gained a flash of the deep tensity back of the Hart scowl I had only to turn niv ini nglnatlon loose to picture five r el- of burning Indignation, hatred and self accusation," DR. DIXON WARNS ABOUT MEASLES Health Commissioner Stiys That People Must Be Care ful of the Disease State Commissioner of Health Sam uel G. Dixon last night issued a warn ing against tlie dangers of measles after directing tho Lackawanna county medical officer to co-operate with Scran toll officials in combatting [iin outbreak of the disease. The commissioner's orders were | to have the schools of Scranton closed [and to enforce a modified quarantine with all children who have the measles to be isolated. The epidemic has continued since late In January and there are now more than two hundred cases reported. Dr. Dixon expressed some indignation over the way epidemics of measles are some times regarded. "We had the largest death rate ever recorded in tho State last year from measles," said he. "That means that thousands of chil dren will die of tuberculosis and other diseases that measles leaves them sus ceptible to. "An epidemic of measles calls for the closest kind of attention. It is not the harmless disease that many people imagine it to be.

"The number of deaths due to ac tual cases of measles is enough to warrant our taking extreme measures for the protection of the children. The lingering diseases that follow it and end in death, which oftentimes the parents never suspect have any con nection with measles, really mean more suffering and loss of life than is experienced even through cases of measles themselves."

SMALL FREIGHTERS TO FOIL U-BOATS Advance Plan to Build 1,000- Ton Ships Faster Than Ger many Can Sink Them New York, March 9. Marine en gineers estimate that 1,000 of the 1,000-ton merchantmen suggested by F. Huntington Clark could be built in a year at a cost of $100,000,000 if the boats had a sliced of nine knots, and that tho same amount of tonnage with a speed of 14 knots would cost $150,- 000,000. Mr. Clark's Idea is the latest suggestion for meeting "the submarine peril" in case of war with Germany. As announced last night before the joint session of the Automobile Club of America, the Aero Club of America and the Motorlioat Club of America, this plan calls for the construction of a great fleet of small cargo vessels to take the place of the great steel freighters which now offer a con spicuous mark for torpedoes.
