TOM JOHNSON A MISSIONARY.
Aiding British Single Takers in Their
Reform Campaiun.

London, May british advocates of
the single tax are taking advantage of
the country's increasing revenue to
urge taxation Of land values, and have
|i%naugurated a literary and oratorical
propaganda in London, with branch
offices in the provinces. While they adj
nit thai the single tax cause is still in
the academic stage, they assert that it
is gaining adherents daily.
Tom l.. Johnson is supporting the
movement by letters from Cleveland,
Ohio, which are published and widely
circulated thruout the United Kingdom.
Mr.. Johnson says that the decision of
the British single takers henceforth to
employ the phrase taxation OF land
value instead of Single TAX is wise.
since the former expression is the more
accurate and produces less confusion.

him to organize into unions the m
ployes of certain mines operated by a
receiver Of the court. The order, is
sued by Judge Henry G. Mcdowell. was
regarded as radical and a blow at or

pardon. His family lives at Keb and
his brother is a prominent business

terday morning. the mayor of Cleveland
says:
"The single takers of America are
hampered because the constitution
gives supreme courts, made up of re-
tired railroad attorneys n other men
trained in the monopoly side of ques-
lions, an opportunity to declare uncon-
stitutional measures intended for the
relief of the people. The English higher
courts have no such power.
our principal advantage lies in our
willingness to take hold of new thought.
With a broader franchise the voters
of YOUR distinguished class would al
most to a mar favor taxation of land
values. Weighing all advantages and
disadvantages, l can lot say which
country is leading in the race but it is
an interesting fact hat both are max
ing progress"

Maud also leaves $500 cash for the spe-

VICTORY ON THREE.cENT FARE.
Mayor johnson and City Council Up.
held by Cleveland Court.

neI0 by SIeVelano SOurt.
Cleveland, May 7.-ClevelanJs right
to award a street railway franchise to
the man or company that will offer the
lowest fare was upheld in a decision
by Judge Theodore l.. Strimple in the
common pleas court yesterday.
Mayor Tom l.. Johnson and John b.
Hoefgen, of Brooklyn, the latter the
successful bidder for the franchise,
were enjoined temporarily a few weeks
ago from proceeding with the construc-
ton of six separate lines of street rail-
way under a grant by the city council.
The injunction was issued on the
ground that the Ohio law requires COM
petitiye bidding, whereas Hoefgen's
offer received.
The injunction proceedings were
brought in the name OF an obscure tax
payer, William NJ. Reynolds, for whom
the lawyers of Senator Hanna's Little
Consolidated Street railway appeared
in the trial.
The judge in dissolving the injunc-
ton yesterday attacked Reynolds good
faith, saying that it had been shown
that he was not really behind the suit.
Courts do not tolerate sham actions
he said. The right to construct and
operate might well be granted to any
one who might agree to carry passen-
gers for the lowest rate of fare, and the
right is one that obtains only to the
public to be carried at the lowest rate,
and the bidder is Of little conse-
quence."
AS soon as the effect of the decision
was known a lawyer for the Little Con-
solidated hurried to Elyria, where Cir
cult Judge Caldwell granted another
emporary restraining order to pre-
vent Hoefgen and Johnson from Begin
ming work on the 3-cent fare system.

at Death Of the Admiral.
SYMPATHY FOR HIS FAMILY
Principal In Famous Controversy
Says That No One Ever Heard
Him Speak Unkindly Com
corning the Dead Man.

Washington, May 8.-Admiral Schley
has made the following statement re-
garding the death of Admiral Samp-
son, which resulted from cerebral
hemorrhage:
II regret very much the death of
Admiral Sampson, and l sympathize
with his family. No one has ever
heard me utter one unkind word about
him.
ION account Of his death I have re-
quested my friends in Baltimore to
postpone the delivery to me of the
Cristobal Colon service of silver, and
they have accepted my request"
According to the present arrange
ment the funeral ceremonies over the
remains Of the late admiral will take
place Friday morning at 1890 O'Clock
at the Church Of the Covenant. The
remains then will be taken to Arlington
for interment, accompanied by splen-
did military and naval escort
Mrs. Sampson suffered slight acct
dent four days ago while attending to
the wants Of the admiral and has been
in bed since. She probably will not be
able to attend the funeral services.
Statement by Physician.
Surgeon S. H. Dixon, thy attending
physician, made this statement of the
last illness Of the distinguished officer:
"Rear Admiral SIMPSONS death was
caused by cerebral hemorrhage. About
five days ago the admiral, who had
been up and about the house, had a
slight hemorrhage. He became rapidly
weaker, and it was apparent that the
end, which had been so long anticipat-
ed and 90 frequently warded off, was
near. During the last three days he
had been in a semiconsciOus condition
Tuesday he had very severe hemor-
rhage, and for six hours preceding his
death he was unconscious.
admiral Sampson had been an in
valid since the close of the Spanish
war. In fact, he was not in robust
health during that campaign. From
time to time he had been slowly sink
ing, but his remarkable vitality and
the splendid nursing and the tender
care of his wife enabled him to rally
and show indications of returning
health. He was able to take nourish-
ment regularly and in good quantities
up to the time Of his last collapse. The
food he took seemed to nourish and
sustain him, so that he showed little
or no loss of flesh up to the time of
his death"
