Rochester, Minn., Sept, 21.- Governor John A. Johnson, three times elected governor of Minne- sota, a candidate for the Demo- cratic nomination for president of the United States in 1908 and looked npon by many throughout the country as the probable Democratic National stand and bearer in 1912, died at St. Mary's hospital here at 3:35 o'clock this morning, following an oper- ation last Wednesday.
 Governor Johnson's life hung continually in the balance until the end came. So frequently did his condition change alter nately for better and then worse that his physicians, ever hopeful, but none too optomistic, were able to say at no time since the operation was performed that the governor had more than an even chance for his life.
 At his bedside when the end came were Mrs. Johnson, Miss Margaret Sullivan, her friend; Doctors w. J. and Chas. H. Mayo, Dr. c. F. MeNevin, Frank A. Day, the governors private secretary; Fred B. Lynch, Demo- cratic National committeeman, and the Misses Jamie and Schil- Ter, the governors nurses.

NOT LESS THAN
 IA CENTS, HE SAYS
Ben L. Griffith Believes s Farmers Union Executive Committee Will Hold
 Cotton Up.

That the executive Committee of the National Farmers Union will not ask the members of that organization to hold their cotton for any price less than 14 cents was the belief expressed last night by Ben L. Griffith of Con way, former secretary of the Arkansas Farmers, Union and one of the best-known members of the national organization. MT Griffith stated that the matter of fixing the price at which union cotton can be sold had been left with the Executive Committee at the recent national convention of the union in Birmingham, but that so far as he knew that com mittee had not yet announced the price. 'As far as am per sonally concerned, do not be- lieve the union cotton will be set at anything less than IA cents, at least," stated MT. Grif- fifth. "The price is now 12 cents.
 PROSPECTS BETTER TO REALIZE
 Two years ago the national convention fixed the price at 15 cents. The cotton was held, but the price was never reached. It went as high as 13 cents. The cotton was finally sold at what ever price could be obtained.
 This year, however, it is be- lieved that the conditions are more favorable for the union. Mir. Griffith stated last night that the crop prospect in Georgia was not much better than that in Arkansas and that in Alabama and Mississippi the crop will be far below the average one. Six ty per cent of the average crop, he said, was the best estimate from the semi-official reports re- ceived by the Farmers Union.

Rests Case on Testimony Of Al
ienists, vi. Agree on

White Plains, ~ J. August a.
The state rested in the Thaw case
yesterday, and from now on it de-
VoRe eS ON Harry X. Thaw and his at
torue,, Charles MorSchuser. to off
set the testimony OF the states alien
lists, who have sworn without eNcep-
ton, under examination of District
Attorney Jerome that Thaw is still
insane and would be a menace to
the community if released from the
asylum.
Dr. Carlos f. Mcdonald, the last
alenist called by the state was fol-
lowed by John d. Gleason, ThaW's
original legal adviser. His most ad-
vantageous statement. from the
prisoners standpoint, consisted of
the dropping of the law firm of
Black, Boygne & Delafield and the
engaging of Dolphin NJ Delmas as
counsel for Thaw. This had been
done at his (Gleason's) personal or
der, he said, and was not due to a
whim of Thaw Through Mr.. Gleas-
on. Thaw's lawyer hopes to show
that Thaw's attitude toward Stan
ford White was not due to delusions
as the state contends, but was
prompted by what Thaw knew of
Whites practices. Mr.. Morchauser
tried to prove the charges against
White yesterday by reading parts of
Evelyn's testimony at the trials.
Trying to clear Thaw of another
demsion, Mr. Gleason presented re-
ports of detectives regarding an al
legged attempt on Thaw's life the
night of December "a. 1903. Tive
wording of this document was not
made public, but it was introduced
, to counteract the states contentious
that ThaW had delusions concerning
the Monk Eastman gang, which he
! believed had been engaged by his
enemies to beat and perhaps kill him
and that after Whites death the ar
chitect's friends entered into con
spiracy to railroad his conviction to
Matteawan If he can show that
White and number of his wealthy
friends did maintain several estab-
lishments where young girls were
ruined and that an attempt was real
ly made on his clients life. Morsch-
auser will be able to dissipate some
of the delusions testified to by the
state

Inventor of Sewing Machine.

The inventor of the first sewing
machine that would sew was Elias
Howe Jr. of the little town OF Spen-

and finally brought 10 public atten-

taking which is designed celebrate The idea is an ex

and energy necessary to successful issue
San Francisco is noted for big doings.
In recent years she has psd all previous history in the
great fire of April 49, 1906. few weeks ago she sgnazed
the restoration of the city its than former beauty and
grandeur by Portoa stvaa carnival the like OF which
has rarely been witnessed From on her spirited
citizens will bend their energies toward promoting the
Panama exposition There question that will over
top ANYTHING in that line that has been heretofore achieved IN
America or elsewhere 1t is estimated that the total cost
will be fifty mons-a of money which is SIMPLY
staggering especially when city still suffering
recovery from the most colossal calamity of history 1t
expected that people California will unite in boosting
the exposition with moral and financial aid The United

to the proposition, constituting fitting climax to the

A SUPERVISOR INDICTED

The grand jury of Tuolumne county has wholesome
example in Indictment of Paul Norris of the super
visors ofha county, for felony The crime charged that
he indirectly sold goods the county, and received pay
therefor contrary the law which forbds any county
official from bein interested any with the county,
or presenting any claim against the county. His book
keeper George B. Carter made the go-beween, who
made claim for supplies for the public highway and
of the bill and passed it. The bookkeeper
ceived the money for the claim and handed the to
Morris vas, according the reported facts clear
of evadug the law, and the grand jury matter of duty
took hold of the matter though the information
them through anonymous communication This affair
illustrates defective character of the present road laws
which places the hiring of men, the purchase of material and
the allowance of bills practically in the hands of one
the supervisor of the road district The law itself stand
ing invitation evasion and illegal methods, and
that it being used in that direction in other places than
Tuoumne the deriment of the public there be no
reasonable doubt And while the Indictment of few trans
crossing officials, after the example of Tuolumne county,
would undoubtedly exert auary influence the grating
business likely be suppressed until the road law is
radically changed There much OF the youfavorme
