FIDO, MRS. HOTOVITSKY
PASSED AWAY, NOV 16
■
When Father Dmitri Hootvitzky re
turned to Belkofsky after spending
several weeks in the states the joy oi
his return was sadly marred by the
news of the death of his infant daugh
ter. The baby took sick early in No
vember, apparently suffering from in
digestion. At the same time she be
gan to cut several teeth. Every ef
fort was exerted by Mrs. Hotovitzky
and Miss Richardson, the school teach
er, to alleviate the suffering of the
child, but although she appeared to
rally for a few days a relapse came
on the fifteenth of November, and she
died early on the morning of the six
teenth. The absence of Father Hoto
vitzky without his even knowing that
the child was ill made the blow hard
to bear for Mrs. Hotovitzky and the
surviving children, Andrew,. Eugene,
Lydia and Claude. Andrew, who is at
present attending high school in Se
attle, could not be informed of the
death of his sister before the return
of Father Hotovitzky. The entire
village of Belkofsky joined in mourn
ing the bereavement of the family,
On Tuesday, November 16, the tiny
body was laid to rest in the little
cemetery of Belkofsky after a briei
and simple service in the Greek Or
thodox church. The circumstances
surrounding the death of the child
made the funeral exceptionally sad.

Aside from his political career, Sen
ator McKinley was best known for
his contributions to educational and
religious institutions. His philan
thropies, were unattended by publi
city, but his friends estimated in 1925
that his gifts to education had passed
the million dollar mark.
Party regularity was a cardinal
principle with McKinley. He was a
friend and neighbor of “Uncle Joe”
Cannon, of Danville, who represent
ed the eighteenth congressional dis
trict, adjoining McKinley’s old dis
trict, the nineteenth, in the days when
Cannon was known as the “czar” of
the house of representatives and in
surgency arose among legislators be
cause of party discipline.
McKinley and an uncle were in the
banking business in Champaign and
branched into the public utilities in
dustry, acquiring traction, electric
light, gas and other interests which
eventually were known as the Mc
Kinley Syndicate. Their chief prop
erties were the Illinois Traction Sys
tem which built the McKinley bridge
over the Mississippi river at St. Louis,
one of the most costly electric railway
structures in the world.
“Uncle Joe” Cannon and his bro
ther, William, also bankers, owned
the Danville street railways which
they sold to the McKinley interests
? j
- i - 8m ; »•-. to. mm
and which eventually were chiefly
disposed of to the Studebaker and
other utilities interests.
Always a regular republican, from
'‘standpatter” times to “farm bloc
days, McKinley directed the adminis
tration campaign for the re-nomina
tion of President William Howard
Taft in 1912 when the Rooseveltians
split the Republican party.
McKinley issued a statement des
cribing Roosevelt as an “Ajax defy
ing the lightning,” and denied the
Roosevelt charges of stolen conven
tion seats. He challenged Roosevelt
to come from his Oyster Bay, N. Y.,
home to the storm center, Chicago,
and predicted an unsuccesful bolt
from the Republican party. Roosevelt
accepted the challenge and soon af
ter his arrival in Chicago, his adher
ents left the party convention and or
ganized the Progressive or Bull Moose
convention and nominated Roosevelt
for the presidency.
The defeat of both Roosevelt and
Taft by Woodrow Wilson, the demo
cratic nominee, took McKinley down
to defeat in his home district and he
was out of congress in 1913 and 1914.
He was again elected to the house,
however, and in 1921 w'as elected to
the Senate by a few thousand votes—
the votes of women—over Col. Smith,
who finally defeated him in 1926.
Beside owning transportation lines,
McKinley believed that he was the
greatest traveler in the United States.
He had traveled 1,500,000 miles in
twenty-five years—more than a mil
lion miles of the total in nine years—
including thirty trips across the At
lantic, three journeys around the
world, several voyages across the
Pacific ocean and to South America,
a dozen trips to Cuba and Panama,
and had visited every country in the
world except Russia and Turkey.
Senator McKinley was born in
Petersburg, 111., on Sept. 6, 1856, the
son of a Presbyterian minister. He
worked on the farm and spent two
years at the University of Illinois, of
which he became a trustee in 1902. At
the age of 25, after he had gone into
the banking and mortgage loan busi
ness with an uncle, he began his pub
lic utilities career by building a wa
terworks system in his home city of
Champaign.
The Senator supported President
Coolidge’s advocracy of, and voted for,
adherence of the United States to the
world court.
