Mrs. Hiram johnson

From the Pennington Herald.
After brief illness contracted during
the encampment of Spanish war veter-
ans three weeks ago. Mrs. Georgia
Belle Johnson, president of the District
Lineal society of the Spanish war, an
organization of wives, mothers and
sisters of war veterans, died Monday at
three p. IN. at her home, 1914 Sixteenth
street, northwest, Washington, d. c.
Miss Georgia Belle Sherman was born
in the township of Southfeld, August
II, 1872, and was the daughter Of
George and Annie Sherman. Until her
marriage to Hon. Hiram johnson, Feb
27, 1894, she was resident of Michigan.
Since that time she has resided in
Washington, ID. G. Through her broth
err, volunteer in the Spanish war, she
became interested In the Auxillaries to
the United States war veterans, to which
she gave much time and attention. AL
though suffering at the time of the en-
campment she insisted upon doing her
share Of the work of entertaining the
veterans, aud stood at the head Of the
receiving line and shook hands with
over one thousand veterans. Before the
close Of the encampment she was taken
seriously i'll and conveyed to her home,
where she rapidly grew worse until re-
lieved by death. The remains were ac-
companied to this place by her husband,
Hon. Hiram Johnson, of the Weather
Bureau. and her father and sisters, of
this place, who were summoned to her
bedside at the time of her illness.
In 1902, she, with her husband, united
with the Grace M. e. church in Wash
ington and since that time she has been
an earnest worker, especially In the
business affairs of the Woman's Work
ing society.
Among the beautiful floral. pieces
were the ones sent by the Lineal society
and the United States Spanish war
veterans, across which were the letters

SUTTON DEFEATS HOPPE.
Successfully Defends His Title to the
Championship.


Championship.
New York, Dec. 19.-George Sutton
still holds the worlds championship
at 1872 balkline billiards, having sue
sessfully defended the title, which he
won from George Slosson few
months ago. against the challenge Of
Willie Hoppe, who holds the worlds
championship at 1871 game.
The contest, which took place in the
big hall of the Grand Central Palace,
was rather disappointing, as young
Hoppe did not play up to the standard
expected of him. He was the favorite,
but from the beginning seemed to be
off his play and only in two innings
did he show anything like his cham
pionship form.
Sutton jumped into the lead at the
start and with lot and SO in the first
two innings secured an advantage
which the younger player could not
overcome. Sutton was in fine form
but at times he seemed i'll at ease.
The score was Sutton 500, Hoppe 25S.
Ora Morningstar of this city chal-
lenged Sutton for the 1872 champion
ship and Sutton agreed to play him in
Chicago, thirty days hence. Sutton
also challenged Hoppe for the 1871
title and this game will be decided at
the Madison Square Garden here three
weeks after the Chicago game.

ELECTION OF TRUSTEES OF LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANIES Is
HELD IN NEW YORK.
BOTH SIDES CLAIM VICTORY
REFORMERS AND ADMlNISTRA.
TON OFFICIALS ARE CONFI-
4 DENT OF SUCCESS.

New York, Dec. 19.-Probably never
before in the history of the country
has there been anything to compare
with the election in this city of trus-
tees for the New York Life Insurance
and the Mutual Life Insurance compa-
MES. In number of ballots cast and
in the expenditure of time and money,
the election approached that of one of
the states of the Union. Certainly no
corporation or society election ever
measured up to it In magnitude or in
terest.
The total vote cast in both compa-
MES will approximate 100000. of
which about 100000 will be in the New
York Life, in which the contest has
been more vigorously and more bitter
ly waged. It is expected that it will
be some weeks before the votes are
counted.
The Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety, the Mutual Reserve Life Tnsur-
ance company and the Security Mutual
of Binghamton also held elections, but
as there were no opposition tickets In
the field in these companies the cleo
tons of their administration tickets
were but perfunctory proceedings,
Officials of both the New York Life
and the Mutual companies declare
that the administration tickets had
without doubt been elected by large
maiorities.
Thelnternational policyholders' com.
mittee through Samuel Untermeyer
Its general counsel, expressed the con.
viction that the reform tickets would
win in both companies, but by com
paratively close margins.
While the ballots were being turned

San Francisco. April 20. AT
ter a ni5ht Of terrors even more
frightful than any Of which Daute
ever dreamed, the people Of the
doomed city Of San Francisco this
morning face a situation so incon-
ceivably terrible as to simply appali
humanity.
Having fought bravely through
out the long and awful night they
are this morning facing situa-
ton so inconceivably terrible as to
simply appal humanity.
When night had come the most
heroic effort were being made to chec
the progress Of the flames. Fire APP
paratus was rushed in here from all
parts of California with which there
was communication, but there be-
ing no water the apparatus was
worse than useless. The flames re-
morselessly ate their way ahead in
spite Of the destruction If buildings
by dynamite.
AT dawn the dynamite was gone.
Even the great supply at the Pres
lido, the ammunition depositary of
the United States Army, was ex-
hausted. There was nothing for
the FIRE fighters and other citizens
to do but to fee for safety to sections
Of the cig as yet unscathed. Hun
dreds songht refuge in single
house.
Then the most horrible feature Of
the calamity developed With hell
ish glee, it seemed, the flames be
gan to leap across wide areas and
cling tenaciously to structures on
the other side. The refugees in
houses located in what had been
deemed safe territory suddenly
found themselves cut off from
all means Of escape.
1t is certain that hundreds, if not,
in fact, thousands have been liter
ally roasted to death. The screams
Of the tortured can be heard for
blocks. Desperate efforts to rescue
them have proved fruitless and at
this hour strong men, rendered hys-
terical by the long strain and by
this awfnl, almost indescribable eli
max, are rushing frantically about
sobbing like children while all they
hold dear are being incinerated.
Many afather, bereft Of reason and
having only the idea to rescue his
loved ones, has rushed niadly into
the center Of the roaring vortex of
fame never to return,

CURTIS BILL
OPENS LAND
IS NOT so BAD AFTER ALL. AL
THOUGH NOT AS MUCH AS WAS
EXPECTED
NO NECESSITY FOR STAMPEDE
New State will be Abundantly
Able to Support Government

Tue Muskogee Times Democrat
does lot think the Curtis bill 50 bad
after all. 1t says:
The Curtis bill as it passed the
senate and house while not remov-
ing the restrictions on lands be-
longing g Indian allottees Of mixed
blood: does remove the restrictions
on dead claims. Thousands upon
thousands Of acres in the territory
are thus thrown open to purchase.
For some time spectators and
others have been buying the home
steads Of dead allottees in the
Chickasaw and other nations but
by the passage of the Curtis bill
all dead claims are thrown open ex-
|cept where the heirs are Of full
blood.
There is no use of stampeding in
the Indian country. The country
has not yet gone to the dogs; a
great many acres have been alien
ated and more are being sold each
day.
A prominent citizen of the Indian
Territory gave some Of his opinions
to a reporter for the Times Dem
ocrat.
The Indian Territory is not GO
ling to be so bad off with the Cur
lis bill even as it finally passed.
One-fourth Of the acreage Of the
territory is dead claims and the
heirs cf dead allottees are, accord
ing to the Curtis bill, allowed t.
sell.
MANY people urge that if the
statehood bill should pass ou top
Iof all our other worries that it
would be about the last straw, but
it IS not so. It would be a blessing
in .isguise.
High taxes are not going to
bother anyone for at least two
years. We won't have taxes for
state and county purposes for over
one year or until after the legissa-
ture convenes. The tax bugaboo is
a misnomer.
Oklahoma and Indian Territory
are better 6ttedto assume the man
tie of statehood than any state that
was ever admitted to the union
The taxable property outside Of
the farms in the Indian Territory
will be enormous and will outrank
that of many states which seem to
be prospecting.
Take the state Of Wyoming
I for instance; the total amount Of
1.-THE grand tax duplicate Of the en-
tire state amounts to but $40, 6,ooo,.
600. Divided principally as follows,
All country property, $6, 600, 900;
town property, $S, 900, 600; railroad
| 81 900, 900; cattle, $I2, 900, 600;
sheep, about So, 600, 900.
Wyoming has but 46S miles Of
railroads, while the Indian Terri
tory has 5000 miles Of taxable
railway property. The total bank
assets of the Indian Territory and
Oklahoma amount to over $3s, 600
600.
THE big share Of the taxes Of
lany state does not come from the
country. Where would Kansas
have been when admitted to the
Union if they would have to de.
pend upon the tax of farm landsl

they have missed.
Only those who are familiar with
San Francisco can fully realize the
gravity Of the present situation.
Nearly all Of the city's residence
districts are filled with himsy frame
buildings. They are as dry as tim
der and burn with the rapidity Of
gun powder. The fire is spread
ing with incalculab.e speed. When

standing when it does stop, the

A telegram at the Navy depart
ment at Washington says that the
Pacific Squadron is all right. The
Chicago and marblehead are enroute
TO San Francisco and will reach
there tomorrow.
There's not the slightest sem-
blance Of order. Decentralization
rnles on every hand. Fighting their
way like a victorious army through
the ranks Of the enemy, the flames
have won their way to Mob Hill.
This is the finest residence section Of
San Francisco. Here are the homes
Of millionaires and :hes residence
are among the most costly to be
found on the American Continent.
One by one the magnificent struc-
lures are being reduced to ashes and
already a long trail Of blackened
ruins has been left behind on the
hill.
So great is the confusion, So
rapid the progress Of the fire and SO
bereft Of reason are all concerned,
that it will be days before there
will be even the slightest chance to
tell who is dead or missing and an
even longer time before anything
like rational estimate of the pro
! perty losses can be made. At pre-
sent the best that can be done is to
say that many thousands have
perished by earthquake shock or
holocaust and that the property loss
can not be less than $500, 900, 900.
There is no water and thousands
are suffering for the want of it.
The water-works plant and every
water main in the city was destroy
ed by the earthquake. The intense
heat from the FIRE has made many
crazed with thirst, and hundreds,
looking on the cool, blue salt water
Of the bay, havs plunged into the
surf to slake their thirst, only to be
made the victims Of even greater
torture by the brine.
Advices received from many
quarters indicate that San Francisco
was by no means the only sufferer
from the earthquake There is re-
port that every oil tank and every
water tank on the Southern Pacific
Railroad nearly as tar south as
Bakers Field, the oil well section,
was destroyed. This only serves to
render communication with the
outside world all the more dificnlt.
