MORMON PRESIDENT DEAD
WILFORD WOODRUFF DIES IN SAN
FRANCISCO.
He has Been at the Head of the
Church of Latter Day Saints Since
Brigham Young's Death

SAN FRANCISCO, September a.
Wilford Woodruff. president of the
Mormon church, died at the residence
of Colonel Isaac Trumbo shortly after
o'clock yesterday morning.
He died surrounded by every COM
fort that loving hands could provide,
while close beside him were his wife,
and his old friends. George Q. Cannon,
vice president and counselor of the
church, and Bishop Hiram B. Clawsou
who with their wives were sojourning
in the same hospitable home.
President Woodruff had for some
time been suffering from kidney end
bladder troubles, but still remained
active. and though in his ninety-second
year frankly proclaimed his intention
of becoming a centenarian. He grew
so feeble, however, that when in July
he was urged to come down to san
Francisco and take a little holiday,
he seized upon the idea with a boys
enthusiasm for the journey, telling
all of his friends that he was going
off on a vacation. He was a very hard
worker, and every check paid out in
the great Mormon cooperative indus
trial organization had to pass through
his hands. He told his attending phv-
sician here that on the day before he
left Salt Lake City he had signed 500
checks. Yet he stood the journey
well and greatly enjoyed the change.
At dinner given in his honor at the
rooms of the bohemian club the other
night, of which no man under so was
permitted to partake, Elder Woodruff
was voted the smartest of the party.
The day before he died he was talking
of going ont fiShiDu

TWO MEMORIALS.
Planters Association and Chamber
of Commerce Present Them.
Committee.

Planters Association and Chamber
of Commerce Present Them.
Two memorials have been presented
to the United States Commissioners,
of which summary is here appended.
The Planters Association in its me-
mortal to the Commissioners deals
with the form of government for these
Islands and states that it is opposed
to government by commission, and
gives seven reasons why it should not
be established. 1t is stated that some
citizens here have been in favor of a
temporary government by commits
sion. To this the planters are oppos-
ed, as they want to become self gov
erning in local matters. What is de-
sired is territorial form of govern
ment. A considerable section is de-
voted to the franchise. which it is
considered should be restricted and
indeed carried out as now. Upon the
judicial system there is no desire for
an elective plan, and the abolition of
race juries is recommended. Natur-
ally labor laws and immigration laws
occupy considerable attention. The
planters ask for an extension of time
to get into a position to face new con-
ditions.
The Chamber of Commerce sfavors
the territorial form of government. 1t
devotes considerable space to the
question of shipping, and asks for a
suspension of the United States navi-
cation laws for the present. The same
is asked for the United States tariff
laws. In the matter of labor it is
asked that advances may be made to
laborers to induce them to come TO
the Islands. An appeal is made for
the improvement and enlargement of
Honolulu harbor. the cable project is
urged and the Nicaragua canal pro-
ject is commended. Both memorials
are signed by j. p. Atherton as pres.
