JERRY SIMPSON CALLED.
Unique Congressman From Kansas,
Known as "Sockless Jerry"

Wichita, Kans.-Former Congress
man Jerry Simpson died at sos
o'clock Monday morning at st. Fran
els hospital, from aneurism of the
aorta. He had been lowering between
life and death for ten days. At the
bedside were Mrs. Simpson and their
only child, Lester Simpson, of Ros-
well. ~ M. Mr.. Simpson was con-
scious up to five minutes before death.
The end came without a struggle.
1.-THE sage of Medicine Lodge" as
Jerry Simpson was called, was in
every respect one of the most unique
characters which adorn the history of
congress. He was swept into the
Fifty-second congress by a wave of
Kansas populism. charged with the
task of reforming the whole govern
naaat and living down the only adr
vance information his colleagues had
of his personality-that he wore no
socks. The latter task he succeeded
in accomplishing in fact, although
he never quite lost the title "Sockless
Jerry" His legislative accomplish
ments consisted in turning popular
eastern sentiment regarding populism
from scorning ridicule to respectful
consideration during his service of six
years in the Fifty-second, Fifty-third
and Fifty-fifth congresses, when he
was swept out by another Kansas
wave

pletely tied up and the other Moscow
roads embarrassed, trains were
stopped on the branch road from Nizh-

of railway employees have issued
call for a general strike on all the
railroads of Russia. The extent to
which the call will be obeyed remains
tD be seen. as the union is of recent
origin and its strength is an unknown
quantity.
The demands of the men are purely
political, and therefore it is expected
the strike will last only long enough

NEW YORK TRANSFERS STRIKE.
Non-Union Drivers Are Provided With
Mounted Policemen as Escort.

MOunlcO FOllCcmcn DIS GoSOii.
New York.-Refusal of the Truck
Owners association to accede to the
demands of the international Brother
hood of Transfers resulted Saturday
in a strike which may involve the en-
tire trucking business of this city.
In many respects the controversy is
similar to that which paralyzed the
industries of Chicago for weeks and
was attended by rioting.
Fearing just such trouble, Police
Commissioner McAdoo detailed
squad of mounted men from the traf-
fic squad as reinforcements.
These precautions prevented seri-
GUS disorders, and although crowds
of strikers gathered in the wholesale
dry goods district, just west of Broad
way, the novelty of a mounted police
escort for every truck having a nom
union driver awed many trouble
makers.

leaped on the car and attacked the
first, all three using revolvers. When
their weapons were empty they.

their pistols. The car rushed along
the avenue, the motorman pounding
the gong and the conductor shouting
for the police, as far as Twenty sixth

ed it and seized the three combatants,
all of whom were too badly injured to
offer any resistance.
