Two hundred fifty persons comprise the cast for the great religious production which yearly attracts hundreds of persons from all parts of the country, PILATE HEEDS THE MOB. Although lie declares lie can find Jesus has done nothing to deserve capital punishment, Pontius Pilate is forced to accede to the demands of the mob, which cries "Crucify Him!" This is one of the gripping scenes of the American Passion Play, which opens its 16th season at the Scottish Rite some from other continents.

Story on page 1. and found his services in demand. Because of his first big case, Seat tle called him "Habeas Corpus Lewis" and the name stuck through service in the territorial senate and his election as congressman at large for the 1897-99 term. In the latter year he was nominated for the senate by the Democratic legis lative caucus in the new state and was Washington's "favorite son" candidate for vice president at the Democratic national convention in Kansas City. Despite his honors in the far west, he moved to Chicago in 1903.

Two years later he was corporation counsel for the city of Chicago, Democratic candidate for governor of Illinois in 1908, and was elected senator in 1912. Medill McCormick, Republican, defeated Lewis' attempt at re-election in 1918 and until 1930 Illinois remained consistently Republican on major offices. Then Ruth Hanna McCormick, widow of Lewis' 1918 opponent, won the Republican sen atorial primary and Lewis defeated her in the election by 700,000 votes. In that campaign the Lewis polite ness reached an apex. He never crit icized Mrs.

McCormick personally but answered her statements with "The lady has been led into error." After the votes were counted when news photographers asked him to smile, the courtly victor said: "Gen tlemen, I will not exult over the defeat of a woman."

Subsequently pinball machines were removed from that McLean county territory which is under the jurisdiction of the board. This includes all that area lying outside the limits of incorporated towns and villages.

The story of his life is concluded here: A familiar figure at Democratic party rational conventions, Lewis was active in party affairs at other times. He was chairman of the Democratic senate campaign committee for 1931.

His dress, his red beard and his slow, dignified delivery of words on the senate floor attracted senate gallery crowds attention. Years before Lewis came to the senate he became acquainted with Senator Borah Idaho) and that friendship remained unbroken despite many subsequent conflicts as members of opposing parties. For a time he was a teacher, then a stevedore, lawyer, congressman, soldier, diplomat and senator but always James Hamilton Lewis was the perfect gentleman. His courtly manners were known from the water front of Seattle, where he labored in young manhood, to the senate halls of Washington and the capitols of Europe where his striking career took him. Perfectly tailored suits, harmoniz ing shirts, ties, socks and handker chiefs, a rakishly tipped hat, epot less gloves, beribboned eyeglasses and a carefully parted beard that was astonishingly pink until creeping age grayed it, made up a per sonal ensemble that almost obscured the man's abilities.

Master Politician. But men who knew him best said he was a master politician. Court verdicts testified to his effective pleadings at the bar. Votes reflect ed the power of his oratory. Cita tions of his legal and historical works evidenced his acumen.

He had the rare distinction of having represented two states in the national legislature. He was a congressman at large from Wash ing, 1897-99 and senator from Illi nois, 1913-19 and 1931-39. He was the first senate whip, having been named to that post by the Demo cratic majority early in his first term in the upper Handles Loan Details. His diplomatic work Included membership on a joint high com mission on the Alaskan-Canadian boundary which met in London and to which he was appointed by Pres ident Wilson. In 1914 he was i United States commissioner to Lon don to execute laws for increasing safety at sea.

In 1923 he represented American concessionaries in Turkish oil fields and in 1924 handled a 28 million dollar loan to Mexico. The following year he handled the legal details of a loan of 100 million dollars to continental European nations. Colonel Lewis was a Virginian by tragic chance. His mother, Julia Hamilton Lewis, was hurrying from the family home in Augusta, Ga to Richmond, where Maj. John Cable Lewis, her husband, was near death from the after effects of wounds incurred in the Confed erate army.

At Danville a son was born on May 18, 1866, and Julia Lewis died. Major Lewis was an invilad the rest of his life and the son was reared by relatives. He was educa ted at Houghton college, in Geor gia, and at the University of Vir ginia and later studied law in Savannah. Going to the then territory of Washington in 1866, Lewis found little call for attorneys. He taught languages two years at the Univer sity of Washington, was dropped when the faculty was pruned and got a job as stevedore on the Seat tle docks, practicing a bit of law on the side.

Nick Name Sticks. For the first six months his only case was defense of a fellow long shoreman charged with stealing a case of cigars. The fee was 80 cents Then he took the case of 20 men in the city jail charged with violating an ordinance. He proved the ordi nance unconstitutional, freed the men with writs of habeas corpus parents, Mr. and Mrs.
