Is the Death of Harrison
F. Johnson in
Brooklyn.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

New York, Feb. 16.-Harrison F.
Johnson. one of the best known law
yers in the financial district, with
Offices at 81 Nassau street. and who
lived at 1927 Bergen street Brooklyn.
with his wife and baby, died at the
New York hospital this afternoon un-
der circumstances declared by the po-
lice to point 10 murder. The cause
of death was poison, but the doctors
who attended him declare that In
their opinion the drug used was not
morphine, despite the fact that wo-
man who was with Johnson when he
was taken i'll. and who is now locked
up on suspicion of manslaughter, de-
clares that he took morphine in her
presence.
The woman under arrest is Lottie
Reynolds, of 243 West Thirty-sixth
street. She declares that she met john
son late last night; that they had
supper together, and that later, in
company with Dortie Everhardt and
another man they went to the Hotel
Regent, Twenty-eighth street and
Eighth avenue, where they registered
as 'Mr. Johnson and wife, Albany"
They were assigned to room and
later, according to the woman she
displayed a package of morphine pills
of which she is an habitual user.
Johnson asked for some, according to
her, declaring that he too was a
"fiend." After some persuasion, she
states she gave him the bottle but
does not know If he took any of them.
Some time later he became i'll and
she rang for the clerk telling him that
her husband" was very i'll.
He sent in hurry call for an am
bulance and when It arrived the sur
geon discovered that Johnson's con-
dition was desperate and he was hur-
ried to the New York hospital. There
the physicians worked over him for a
time but he soon died. The symp-
toms were such as to lead the doctors
to believe that some other drug than
morphine had been used and they SC
notified the police.
The Reynolds woman was promptly
arrested and her companion Dottie
Everhardt was detained for investiga-
tion. Mrs. Reynolds became hysterical
when informed that the charge against
her was suspicion of manslaughter
and that 1t might be later changed to
murder. She stuck to her story that
she did nothing else but let him have
her medicine" and swore that she
was not familiar with the use ol
knockout drops"
She was arraigned in court and com.
mitted to await the action of the cor.
oner who will have an autopsy per
formed tomorrow.

delphia, seven in st. Louis, nine In

Salineville, Feb. 16.-Citizens of
Wayne township, Columbiana county,
upon hearing that a saloon was about
to be established within the township

much alarmed and at once began the
work of getting up petition for
a local option election. The man in

ly succeeded in getting the signatures
of majority of the electors in the
township, though they were compell-
ed to travel many miles to do so.
They Immediately presented the
petition to the township trustees,
who held a meeting and decided to
hold an election some time early in
March under the Beal law There
never has been a saloon in the town
ship and the majority of the citizens
do not want one established there.
James Stevens, local ball player,
has signed a contract to catch for

COUNCIL DEADLOCKED
At saIineviIle over Question Of Pay
ing Members a Salary.

Salineville, Feb. lb.--The village
council here is deadlocked on the ques-
tion of passing an ordinance grant
ing councilmen a salary of 81 per
night for attending council meetings.
The ordinance was ordered to be
drawn up by the legal counsel of the
village and when it was placed on its
first reading the vote was tied.
Now the members of the council
who favored the ordinance threaten to
nold up all village legislation until
the other members agree to the pass
ing of the ordinance. The members
of the council who oppose the. passage
of the ordinance argue economy in
village affairs. The matter promises
to enter into the coming primaries this
spring in which two of the councilmen
who oppose the bill are candidates for
denomination.
The council has refused to authorize
the village clerk to purchase certain
account books to keep the village ac-
counts in conformity to the system of
accounts as authorized by the state.
The voting out of the saloon has de-
creased the revenues of the village
and part of the council are attempt
ing to keep the expenses of the viii
lage down.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. Icon
gresham Campbell's inquiry to r. G.
Rawlings, of Chanute, Kansas, for full
information regarding the Standard
Oil Co.'S operation in the field, elicit
ed the following sworn statement,
which has been sent to Campbell for
a guide in the proposed investigation
by the federal government.
&C. G. Connolly and r. c. Rawlings,
members of the advisory committee OF
the Kansas Oil Producers associa-
ton, under oath state:
"The Kansas oil producers charge
the Standard Oil Co. with discrimina-
tions in violation of the laws of the
United States regulating Interstate
commerce. We specify herewith a few
such instances and can in reasonable
time prove many others. We charge
that the Standard endeavored to Sc,
cure monopoly of the oil business in
Kansas; that a conspiracy exists be-
tween the Standard and the Santa Fe
railway to prevent other parties
handling oil or purchasing it in Kan
sas."
The statement then relates to the
experience of one Knapp, who was
shipping oil in tank cars at $48 per
far until about the time when the
standards pipe line was completed
