VIEWS OF LONDON PAPERS.
All Speak in Highest Terms of Mr.
George, but With Little Respect
for His Theories.

London, Oct 2a.-The news of the death
of Henry George was received too late to
permit of general editorial comment in the
afternoon papers. The Echo. however, re-
fers to his worldwide fame and says:
THE news has come as great shock to
his friends in England. He had ehdeared
himself to a large section of our social re-
formers"
The Star expresses the opinion that The
death of Henry George is the most severe
blow that could be dealt to Tammany, Tor
the George voters are pretty sure 10 trans
fer their votes to Seth Low
The Westminster Gazette says: What
ever opinion may be held. as to-the sounc-
legitimacy Of his conclusions, it is impos-
sible TO deny the skill and eloQuence with
which lie expounded his views and pressed
them on the attention of a not very SYM
pathetic world
The Daily Chronicle says: 'The news of
the death of Henry George will come with
civilized world. He died in the harness, n
victim to a herculean effort to raise New
York from the slough of corruption and
misrule. He could himself have hardly
chosen better death. No better or sweet
er man has lived for many a long year.
Few will dispute that he was one, of the
most remarkable figures among modern re-
formers. We doubt whether his political
group in America will survive. 1t will prob
ably be merged In the great party of social
discomfort, whose formation is perhaps the
most startling portent of our time
The Daily Mail thinks the nomination OF
Mr. Georges son will ''be quickly re-
pented.'
The Daily Graphic deems it easily pos
sble that New York may get q worse
mayor than Mr.. George, with all his i'll
considered doctrines, would have made.
Ihe Morning Post, commenting on the
tragic element in MIR. Georges DEATH "
says: His own prospects for the mayor
atty were poor enough, the chief interest
OF his candidacy lying in its effect on Tam
many Halt II i remarkable that, through
out his career, Mr.. George never gained the
eeDddepce of any considerable. section of
his countrymen. 1t is highly creditableI to
the common sense of the American Democ-
racy that his skillful appeals produced lit
tie or no effect.
The Times. after aIIuding to the rarity
of such Il dramatic death" says: Mr.
Georges influence was largely personal:
and. even IL he had been elected he would
probably have disappointed his devotces
He was sincere, but he would have had no
opportunity of carrying into effect his fiscal
and social theories; While he would have
been unable, through inexperfencs to re-
sist the steady pressure of the workers
and bosses, is death gives a great ad-
vantage to Tammany Hail, which would in
any case probably be victorious ScrtIDu-
lously honest man as we believe Henry
George TO have been. he might have kent
his own hands clean in such position. but
he could not have reformed the system and
he might have possibly engrafted upon II
some evils me American people having
strong practical instincts Mr. Gnorce's
philosophy met with larger measure of
support in England than in the T|nited
States" '@'-'''"

between Omaha and Ogden. The secret
service officers learned that Houghtons
mistress. who had been staying in Denver
for three weeks, had changed three 500
bills, and as the $4,000 stolen was all in

for Houghton's arrest. The woman was

officers.
After Houghton had confessed his crime,
he offered to refund the amount stolen ex-
cept s4O0, which he had spent, providing
the officers would agree that he should
not be prosecuted. He declared that if
they would not agree. the money would
be Immediately Burned. United States

fused to accept Houghton's proposition.
Houghton refused to disclose the hiding
place of the money. He was bound over
