New York, July PA special to the
Times from Washington says: Ex-Sec-
rotary Hoke Smith was interviewed
on the subject of the campaign in the
Philippines, and said:
''Nine-tenthS of the people in our
section are opposed to continuing the

l believe, is Overwhelmingly against
trying to retain the islands. The Fill
pinos are fighting for liberty in the
same way that we did 100 years ago.
and the American people are already
sick and tired of the slaughter going
on there.
Il am not in favor of having our
troops leave the islands with an armed
force lined up against them, but that
would not be necessary. If we would
avow our intention of leaving the is
lands to the natives and abandoning
our attempt at sovereignty. the fight

Washington, d. c., July 24.-It is
probable that the discharged members
of the Utah batteries will be able to
get a half-fare rate from San Fran
cisco home. The quartermaster gen.

The Union Pacific has already replied
that it would grant the rate, but the
others have not yet answered.
Colonel Bird of the duartermaster

GOVERNOR WOULD HAVE ACTED
Ready to Direct Attorney General to
Appear In Case.

1t developed yes erday that had Coun-
ty Attorney Putnam not consented to
the employment of special counsel, At
torney General Bishop would have en-
tered the case, under the direction of
Governor Wells. The statutes authorize
the governor to direct the attorney gen.
eral to assist the county attorney in
any prosecution in which. in the eXecu-
tive's opinion. the interests of the state
demand such assistance. Governor
Wells had decided that this syas case
of that character and held a confer
ence with Attorney General Bishop
Sunday. But when it was learned yes
terday that the county would employ
special counsel the state officials con-
cluded that action upon their part
would be unnecessary.
Governor Wells stated last evening
that if the county authorities had not
taken this action the attorney general
would have appeared in the case on be-
half of the prosecution.

The case of the state against John H.

Senator Brown, whose reputation as a
criminal lawyer is known far and wide,
was entered in the case yesterday.
County Attorney Putnam consented
yesterday morning to the employment
of ex-senator Brown. though he did so
with great reluctance. But he had I'M
derstOod that the county commission
ers very strongly favored additional
counsel in the case, and he considered
it wise TO scquiesce in their wishes.
There was Il long conference yester-
day morning between the county attor-
ney. his assistant, Ray Van Colt. and
the relatives of Burton c. Morris. They
insisted with energy that there should
be a stronger array of legal talent on
the side of the state. They had enlisted
the influence of the county commission
ers and that decided the matter. Four
names were discussed-eX- Senator

LLOYD TEVS IS DEAD
San Francisco Millionaire Passed
Away Last Night.
END WAS UNEXPECTED
RESULT OF COMPLICATION FOL-
LOWING A SEVERE COLD.
Owner of Wells, Fargo & Co.'S and
Founder of Pacific Express-Went
to Pacific Coast In 1S49 and Has
Been Identified With Growth of
Western Empire.

San Francisco, July 24.-Lloyd Tevis,
the well known capitalist, died tonight
at his residence in this city. The end
was entirely unexpected, although he
had been confined to his room with a
severe cold for about a fortnight. He
had not been robust for some tiThe, and
owing to advancing years he yas UNI
able to withstand the complications
which followed his original fhdisposi-
ton.
Mr. Tevis was born in Kentucky sew
enty-five years ago, but hap been a
resident of this state for fifty years.
He came to the Pacific coast IN search
of gold in 1S49, but fortuna which
smiled on him so kindly in later years,
had no encouragement for his earlier
efforts. He was unsuccessful at pros
pecting. and was glad to accept cler-
ical position in the Office of the re-
corder of Sacramento. Here he re-
ceived training in the values of prop
erty and by carefully saving and
shrewdly investing his meager earn
ings he soon had a few hundred dol
lars capital.
Partnership With Haggin.
In 1850 he formed partnership with
James b. Haggin, which has ever since
continued. This firm entered upon a
career of almost unexampled prosper
ity. buying and selling lots on a small
scale at first and gradually increasing
their operations until Haggin and Te-
Wis owned immense tracts of land in
the central counties of the state, in
Guiding some of the richest lands in
the San Joaquin valley. end only one
firm. that of Miller & Lux, had more
cattle and sheep.
Mr.. Tevis founded the Pacific Express
company, and afterward became prin-
cipally identified with the organization
and development of Wells, Fargo e. Co.
For many years he was president and
managing director OF that corporation,
only retiring a few years ago on ac-
count of his health and age. and still
being the presumptive owner of much
of the express company's stock.
Mr.. Tevis was one of the wealthiest
and best known residents of San Fran
cisco. and has been identified with the
growth and development of the state
from the days of the territorial pio-
neer. He was entirely a self-made man,
and his wealth, variously estimated at
from 10,000,0 900 to $4,000, 0o0 was large
ly invested in a number of well known
corporations. He leaves widow, two
daughters and three sons.

IN MEMORIAM.

The whole community wa:
shocked at the announcement OF
the death of John j. Petit, Just
as when an old land mark tree is
smitten and shiyered by the light
ming bolt. Mr.. Petit was born in
Warren county, South of Vicks-
burg, in 1914. lie entered the
Confederate army when quite a
lad, and fought to its close. In
1865 he came to Washington
county, where he has lived and
labored ever since. He leaves Il
wife and one daughter just bloom
ing into womanhOod to mourn his
loss. Also a brother in New Or
leans, who was with him in his
last moments, and brother at the
old home in Warren county.
No one can comfort them. Our
sympathy can only soothe. May
the Great Father console them.
No wonder the community was
shocked. No wonder the family
is inconsolably grieved for he was
a land mark indeed. Stable in all
his ways-consistent as the days
went. True to his country, loyal
to his friends, faithful to his fami-
ly. He is bound, in leaving us,
to leave great vacuum, and no
one to fill it.
But the Great God whose ways
of providence are inscrutable, fills
these vacancies in his own way
and time; and to him we leave the
issue. May we be able from the
heart to say "Thy will be done"
