The funeral of Judge Hugo Pam, for more than eighteen years a member of the Superior Court here, who died in New York Thursday afternoon at the age of 60, will be held here tomorrow.
Judge Pam, a brother of the late Max Pam, who was one of the founders of the United States Steel Corporation, was for the last ten years head of his court’s law division. Last November he was elected for a new six year term. He was president of the Illinois Society of Mental Hygeine, head of the American Institute of Criminology and vice-president of the First International Conference on Mental Hygiene.
For a number of years he was a vice-president of the Zionist Organization of America and in 1927 he defended the Lipsky Administration at the Zionist Convention. It was he who headed the Palestine Restoration Fund in Chicago and was actively concerned with the sending of a Jewish delegation to Versailles to urge Jewish demands on the Peace Conference. Judge Pam presided over the Jewish Congress in Philadelphia in 1919 which resulted in the creation of the delegation.
