Feb. 4 (fl5) This city In western New York today mourned for its first citizen Cuthbert W. Pound, who retired as Chief Judge of the State Court of Appeals a little more than a month ago. He was 71.

Judge Pound died in an" Ithaca hospital yesterday. He was stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage Saturday night while addressing a banquet meeting of the Tompkins County Bar Association held in his honor. Taken to the hospital In a grave condition, Judge Pound sank slow ly during the night and died with' out regaining consciousness. Was to Speak Thursday Judge Pound had been scheduled to be the principal speaker and honor guest Thursday at a gala parish dinner marking the 100th anniversary of Grace Episcopal Church. But instead his funeral will be held from the edifice Tues day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.

Alexander White Pound, a son of the Jurist, brought his father's body home late last night from Ithaca. Judge Pound was a son of Lock port pioneers. He was born June 30, 1864. Judge Pound was admitted to the State Bar in 1886 and first practiced law here as a member of the firm of John E. and Cuthbert W.

Pound. Held Many Posts He served In many capacities for nis state, including the Supreme Court, until 1915, when Gov. Charles L. Whitman appointed him Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals-. He succeeded Benjamin N.

Cardozo as Chief Judge In 1932 when the latter went to the Supreme Court of the United States. Roscoe Pound, widely known professor of law at Harvard, and Ezra Pound, the poet, were cousins of Judge Pound. As Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, Judge Pound was perhaps best known for his opinion In the State milk law test, which the United States Supreme Court affirmed. An obscure Rochester grocer challenged the price-fixing phase of the State law In 1933. Pound wrote then that "Constitutional law is a progressive science" and concluded with this sentence: "The policy of non-interference with individual freedom must at times give way to the policy of compulsion for the general welfare." Gold Clause Opinion He also wrote the Court of Ap peals opinion sustaining the right of Congress to abrogate the gold clause of obligations.

The law was Judge Pound's one interest and when he retired from the Court of Appeals because he had reached three-score and ten years he sadly remarked: "It is the tragedy of my life. I have no hobbies. I don't plav eolf. I do not drive a car. I do not play Driage.

1 ao not sine. Mv life is one-sided and incomplete." Brief laudatory addresses on thp life and career of Judge Pound were made in the Supreme Court here today at the opening of several parts. Justice Meier Steinbrink. pre siding in Trial Term, Part 1. spoke, as well as Justice Lewis L.
