Lord Burnham died today after an illness of more than p. month. . Lord Durnham. the proprietor of the Dally Telegraph, was the last of the old school of London newspaper owners. Through his working years, from young manhoo,1 to an older age than most men remain In harness, he controlled the business affairs and the editorial policies of that paper, lie made it one of the great est properties among newspapers, as well as a great aper from the news standpoint. Born Edward Levy, on December 28, 1833, oldest of a fam ily of eight children of J. M. Levy, he assumed, in 1875, the surname of his uncle, Lionel Lawson, and waB Edward Levy-Lawson. On October 13, 1892, he was created a baronet, and on July 31. 1903, he was raised to the peerage as Baron Burnham. His title was taken from the Hun dred of Burnham, Bucks, which con tains most of the Hall Barn estate, which was his country seat. Honored by Journalist. On the occasion of his eightieth birth day, In 1913. the Journalists of Great Brit ain paid a remarkable tribute of their re spect. A larsc delegation headed by Lord Northcliffe visited Lord Burnham's coun try house and presented an address to the dozen of newspaper proprietors, which was signed by all the leading British newspaper men. Messages of congratula tions were sent by the king and queen, by many public men and organizations, and telegrams of congratulations came from all parts of the world. The career of the proprietor of the Dally Telegraph wsa one of hard work and steady advancement from a small begin ning. After an academic schooling at the University College school In London, where he won several prises, he waa given the choice between entering London uni versity or Joining his father In business. He selected the latter pursuit. His father was head of a printing firm, and in 1853 had acquired a email newspaper, the Dally Telegraph and Courier. Young ! Levy was given charge of this property i In 1855 and spent his life in developing ! it into a great newspaper. I Paper of the People. For many years the Dally Telegraph was the largest London paper In the number of Its columns, and probably no newspaper in the world has expended more "money tn felegisth and cable tolls. It has always been the paper of the middle classes, as the Times was tradi tionally the paper of tho diplomatic nd official world, of the universities and the Church of England, and as the Morning Pout lias been the organ of society. The number of Its columns of advertising for many years gave evidence that It waa the most profitable property. Ix3id Burnham was active and promi nent through his later life in tho News paper Press fund and tho Intitute of Journalists, and In various public move ments, and was a prominent Free Mason. A few years ago he retired from active newspaper work, and spent moat of hla time surrounded by his family at hi." country place. There he enjoyed shooting and other outdoor pursuits, and enter tained at different times the late King) Edward and King George.
