While intended to break UP the facili-

postmaster through subsequent direct

SENATOR BOGGS
PASSES AWAY.
Died Yesterday Morning at a San
Francisco Hotel.
His Sudden Demise Unexpected, as He Was
Thought to Be on The Road to Recovery.
Was a Pioneer of California and
One of the Best Known Citi-
Gems of the State-A Large Land
Owner and a Central Figure in
Councils of the Democratic
Party.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Ex-senator
John Boggs of Colusa County passed
away to-day at the Palace Hotel in
this city, where he has been confined
to his room with a severe attack of
the grippe Serious results were not
anticipated. and on Saturday and Sun
day his condition was SO much. i'm
proved that he was permitted to leave
his room. He slept well last night,
and got up this morning While sit
ting in front of the fire he was seized
with an attack of coughing, which was
SO violent that it is believed a blood
vessel was ruptured. His wife, who
was attending him, did what she could
to relieve him, but without success.
Senator John Boggs was born in
Fayette, Mo-, about sixty years ago.
Early in life he came to the Pacific
Coast, reaching here during the early
part of 1919. Thus he was a pioneer
of California, and almost since the in
ception Of the organization known as
the Society of California Pioneers he
has been prominently identified with
that body. Likewise was he one of
the most prominent members of the
State Agricultural Society, active in the
management of the annual State Fairs
at Sacramento.
Senator Boggs, too, was closely iden-
titled with affairs political in Califor-
MIA. He served for a number of terms
in the State Legislature, and at the
time of his death represented the
Eighth District in the Senate During
the administration of Governor Mark
+, "a
Valley Commission. He had also
served the State well as a member Of
the Board of State Prison Directors.
Ever since the establishment of the Le-
land Stanford, Jr University he had
held the position of one of the Board
of Directors.
The agriculturists ofithe State have
much to feel thankful to Senator Boggs
for. His home was at Colusa, near
where he owned a large stock farm. He
always took q great interest in agri-
cultural affairs and did much TO bene-
fit the industry. He was one of the
incorporators of the Bsnk of Colusa,
having been a Director up to the time
of his death.
Senator Boggs leaves a widow. two
sons, Frank and Frederick, and a
daughter, Miss Alice.
Complete arrangements for the fun
eral have not yet been made. In all
probability the services will be private
and held at the rooms of the deceased
at the Palace Hotel next Wednesday at
$50 o'clock a. m. Rev r. c. Foute
of Grace Church will be asked to Off
ciate, and the interment will take place
at Cypress Lawn Cemetery.

GENERAL WOOD.
Will Not be Made Governor Gem
era1 of Cuba

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-Careful in
quiry at the War Department discloses
the fact that the President has taken
no action toward supplanting General
Brooke by General Wood as Governor
General of Cuba, and there is also good
ground for the statement that he has
no such intention.
General Woods splendid administra-
ton of civic affairs in Cuba has earn
ed the admiration of the President, but
it is impracticable to place him in COM
mand of the whole island, for that
would involve the relief from duty there
of all the officers, including General
Brooke, General Lee and General Lud-
low, who can claim seniority over Gen
eral Wood. This would amount to the
degradation of these officers, notwith-
standing the excellent services they
have rendered, and there is not the
least disposition on the part Of the
President to do them this injury.
