Richard T. Crane, father. of R. T. 
Crane, Jr., of Chicago and Ipswich, 
died very suddenly Monday night 
at his Chicago home after a three- 
days’ illness of la grippe. He was 
80 years old. Mr. Crane visited his 
son at Ipswich the past season. His 
elder son, Charles. R. Crane, who 
also visits the North Shore at Ips- 
wich, was appointed minister to 
China in 1890, but resigned after 
his recall to Washington. The late 
Mr. Crane, Sr., was one of the great. 
captains of industry of the country, 
being at the head of a great iron 
company. Mr. Crane came strongly 
before the public eye through his 
adversion to college education and 
colleges. He wrote various articles 
upon the subject. He founded the 
Crane Technical Institute. Richard 
T. Crane, Jr., is a product of the 
Chicago Manual Training School, 
and the Sheffield Scientific School, 
Yale University. The success of 
this son, who is also a department 
head in the company, Mr. Crane al- 
Ways argued was in spite of, and 
not because of his higher schooling. 
A grandson, Richard T. Crane III, 
is now a student at an eastern uni- 
versity, the views of the senior Mr. 
Crane not being held by Richard T. 
Sayles,
