Died. Paul B. Belin, 55, president of Scranton Lace Co., U. S. biggest; at Scranton, Pa.; after an operation.

Died. Raphael Cardinal Merry del Val, 64, secretary of the Supreme Congregation of the Holy Office, Prefect of the Congregation of the Reverend Fabric of St. Peter's, Archpriest of the Vatican Basilica, famed (1903-14) as Papal Secretary of State; of heart failure after an appendectomy; in Rome. His death leaves 28 Italian, 29 non-Italian Cardinals. He was born in London where his father (later to be Spanish Ambassador to the Holy See) was attached to the Spanish Legation. On his Protestant mother's side he was of English descent, but, true son of his father, he resembled a handsome Spanish Don. He was educated in England and Rome. His scholarship, piety and social suavity brought him rapid ecclesiastical preferment. He spoke and wrote Latin, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian. Aged 38, he was appointed by Pius X Papal Secretary of State, the youngest to hold this exalted office in modern times. Extremely reactionary in matters of doctrine, his harsh dealings with the Church v. State problem in France cost the Church many properties, led to the separation law of 1905. His attitude was otherwise in affairs of less consequence--into the Vatican he introduced telephones, elevators, electric lights, typewriters. When Theodore Roosevelt visited Rome in 1910 the College of Cardinals refused to permit an audience with the Pope unless he promised not to address Roman Methodists. Merry del Val protested by tendering his resignation, but was asked to withdraw it by the Pope. When Benedict XV died, Merry del Val was strongly mentioned as a possible successor. He liked to play golf, to watch baseball games between U. S. students in Rome. Last summer he visited London, went incognito to Hyde Park, heckled lay Catholic speakers by questioning their beliefs. He said he was greatly reassured by their answers. His brother Marquis Alfonso Merry del Val is the present Spanish Ambassador to Great Britain.

Died. Rt. Rev. Arthur Crawshay Alliston Hall, 82, English-born Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Vermont; at Burlington, Vt.; of heart disease.

Died. George Haven Putnam, 85, president of G. P. Putnam's Sons, Manhattan publishers; at Manhattan; of pernicious anemia. Author, contributor to encyclopaedias. Civil War major, founder of the English Speaking Union in the U. S., he was chiefly responsible for the international copyright bill of 1891, was accordingly made Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.
