Minnesota's democratic governor,
elected, reelected and elected a
third time, in an overwhelmingly re-
publican state, was one of the most
remarkable figures in American pub
lie life. 1t was not only his extra
ordinary popularity in his own state
aCd the repeated victories which he
won when his success seemed politi-
eatIy impossible, which distinguished
him, but also the heroic struggle up
ward from the hnmblest aud NEST
adverse conditions which ended in
his complete triumph.
Governor johnson has won by
fighting against heavy odds from Els
early boyhood. He was a child
when he had to begin hard and reg
ular work. His opportunities for
school training were extremely scan
ty. He was too heavily burdened
from the beginning. Speaking as
one would of the average boy, under
like circumstances, he never had a
fair chance, or half a chance. But
he succeeded, greatly and in many
ways, notwithstanding.
But for Bryan's ascendency Gov
emor johnson would probably have
been nominated for president last
year. Except for Governor Harmon,
of Ohio, he looked, more than any
other man in his party, like the
probable democratic candidate in
1919. Hewas popular, strong, clean
and in every sense fine type Of
American, Notwithstanding the oc-
casional mistakes which strong and
active men must make.
There is inspiration in such ca
reer. 1t is tonic for lads who
doubt the future. 1t illustrates,
once more the wide opportunities
which exist in this country for merit
and ambition and the American
pluck which is known and admired
the world over.
Governor johnson sprang from
the loins of the scandivavians. He
rose from the humblest circumstances
to be an eminent figure of the nation.
In his first campaign for governor of
Minnesota it was used against him
that his father had been a drunkard,
but reaction set in and johnson
was elected by majority of over
5000, while Roosevelt swept the

In conference with her lawyer. Frank

New Jersey, who Is also counsel for
Miss Virginia Wardlaw. the victims
nunt, being held in New Jersey In con-
nection with the case.
When Mrs. Martin was confronted in
her own room by detectives she almost
collapsed.
The warrant for Mrs. Martins arrest
was Issued by the New Jersey au-
thorities. who had learned yesterday OF
the presence OF mysterious woman at
the Hotel Bayard.
Mrs Martin was dressed In deep
mourning and her face was almost COW
cred by heavy VEIL She said her oc-
cupatlon was 'housework."
When her pedigree had been taken,
detectives tried to question her concern
ing the case. but she was quick to reply
that II Will not talk about this until
have had the advice OF my lawyer"
In the bathroom OF Mrs. Martins
room at the hotel were found three un-
dated notes. written In q girlish hand
Identical with the handwriting of the
note found In the East Orange bath
room pinned to little heap of clothes
near the body of Occy Sneld. The notes
vary slightly in phraseology. but are
substantially as follows:
Last year my little daughter died.
Others near and dear. kindred. too. havo
gone to heaven. / long to go there. too.
have been very weak and Ill for a
long time. Death will be blessed re-
lief to my sufferings. When you read
this / will have committed suicide. My
sorrow and pain in this world are
greater than I can endure.
"OCEY w. NJ. SNEAD."
This wording is substantially the
Same as that of the East Orange note.
on which hangs the whole case of New
Jersey against Virginia Wardlaw. Mrs.
Martins sister. and the last person
known to have seen Occy Sneid alive.
Experts have doubted the genu.neness
of this note. II proved a forgery, the
theory of suicide held by the defense
would fail The evidence discovered
today that some one had made repeated
drafts of the note to be used by
the prosecution TO combat the question
of its authorship.
In Mrs. Martins room newspapermen
found n bundle OF clippings and memo
randa bearing on the Snead case, dis
putcd wills and life insurance.

From the first Irwin could
meet the ball solidly. He didn't
have to give" with the ball. and
as result could get 1t away faster
than any other infielder.
John Montgomery Ward, now q
New York legal light addicted to
golf, saw the advantage Irwin pos
sessed and he ordered a glove. He
wore 1t the next day with the cour-
age Of a Daniel tossing hot chatter
to bunch of summer girls. The
crowd didn't boot and In week
100 men were wearing gloves. In
1884 almost every professional
wore them.
The innovation came lust in
time, for in 1884 pitchers were
permitted to throw overland,
whichswith the, running start and
short throw, resulted in unheard Of
speed.
With the increased speed, catch
ers we're put out, of business until
first class clubs were carrying
more backstops than pitchers. In
this difficulty catchers went to
the gloes like kittens to catnip.
Manufacturers made the gloves
larger and heavier. but the finger
glove wasn't the right idea.
In 1888 Jim White sewed a
leather pad to the palm of his in
fielder's glove. and from this the
catcher's mitt Of today, claimed by
three inventors, resulted.
What would the fans think If
they saw the players take their po-
sitions without gloves? Sort of
radical, Ell?
Still, It was only 26 years ago-n
! 1SS3-that Arthur Irwin, now scout
for the New York American league
team, appeared at short for Provi-
dence with the first glove worn on
a diamond.
1t happened in this way: the day
previous to that upon which he es-
tablished precedent, Irwin grabbed
a fast, awkward bounder and two
broken fingers resulted-the third
and fourth on his left hand. Irwin
now shows a little finger belt al
most at right angles, and says:
That's what made base ball
gloves"
In 1883 they didn't carry Is or 20
players on clubs. The usual num-
Der was 10 or IL, and the extra
men were pitchers and catchers.
When pitchers weren't pitching
they were generally in the outfield.
Broken fingers were not enough
to keep an infielder out of the
game, so Irwin set about devising
means to play. He visited a glove
maker, who made for him a buck
skin glove, several sizes too large,
we'll padded and with the third and
fourth fingers sewed together to
admit the bandaged digits.
