"EoUAL SUFFRAGE A FAILURE"
Votes Of Mormon and immoral Women
the Cause, Says Mr.. Wood.

the Cause, Says Mr.. Wood.
That the result of equal suffrage In
the four states In which 1t exists has
done more harm than good was the
conclusion reached by Frederick Wood
in an address given at the Berkeley
theatre before the National league for
the Civic Education of Women.
"In Idaho. Utah and Wyoming"
said Mr.. Wood, "the granting Of the
ballot to women has simply served to
increase the strength of the Mormon
church. In Colorado the vote Of the
immoral women, who are strictly un-
der the control of the political bosses.
according to whose dictates they vote
as a part of the price Of their i'm
munity, is sufficient to hold the bal.
ance in practically any city or county
election. It Is a shameful story, un-
printable in detail. What the result Of
such conditions might be in New York
I leave to your imagination. Judging
from my personal observations Of the
workings of equal suffrage in these
four states, It's results seem to indi-
cate the ability Of the corrupt politi-
cal machine to influence the female
voter to break away from those influ-
ences and practices which have been
decried on the part of men."-New

Playground Leauue.

Boston women established the first
playground in 1902. Last year there
were eight, and nearly $4,000 was ex-
pended, or about 81 for each child, a
very cheap price for the amount of
good obtained. The Playground
league is the name Of the society of
the playground boys themselves, who
wear buttons and discipline all bad
boys. thus making the government
easy enough for those in charge. Not
the least important result of the ply.
grounds in that city is said to be that
involved in the self-government.

NORTH CAROLINA WILD DOGS.
Great Pack Of Them on State Lands
viii Attack People and Cattle.

viii Attack People and Cattle.
For thirty years there have been
wild dogs in a great tract Of woods
known as the Grimes lands, west Of
Raleigh, part of which recently bought
by the state embraces some 1900 acres.
These dogs twenty years ago attacked
a heard Of milk cattle and the latter
had to be killed, some of the dogs
having the rabies.
From time to time the wild dogs
have been shot, but they cannot be
exterminated. On two occasions they
have attacked people passing through
the woods and had to be beaten of.
On the last day of February, which
marked the close of the hunting sea-
son, with a number Of boys I was
rabbit hunting in these woods. A
rabbit was jumped and made wide
sweep in his run.
Most of US stood on the watch for
him to return to his bed," as the
darkies say, and presently the music
of the dogs bringing him back was
heard in the distance. The rabbit
was seen coming down hill where
the trees stood rather wide apart
and suddenly two very large dogs
mottled in color and looking remark
ably like hyenas, dashed at him and
rabbit and dogs went over.
At this instant a cOlOred man came
up with his gun and rushed at the
dogs, which fed, leaving the rabbit
kicking but bearing on the rump the
deep marks of the dogs fangs. The
dogs had appeared like ghosts and
they disappeared in the same manner.
1t was remarkable incident. When
the pack arrived the owner was hold
ing UP the rabbit. The dogs appeared
to take no notice Of the tracks of the
wild dogs.-Raleigh correspondence

ers in this little Minnesota town.
The death Of Governor John A.
Johnson. which occurred at 1924
0 clock this morning at St. Mary 5
Hospital, following an operation per-
formed six days ago, has much Of ma
tional interest.
After battle against death with de-
termined resistance for almost week,
Governor Johnson 5 life had a peace
ful ending.
Grouped about his bedside when
the end came were Mrs. Johnson and
Miss Sullivan, her personal FRIEND
the attending physicians and two
nurses. The last thing Governor
Johnson did before lapSing into un-
consciousness one and a half hours be-
fore his death, was to take his wife
affectionately by the hand and weak
ly whisper:
"Wei. Nora. | made a good fgll.s
but I guess We got to 90.
Then as the last CLEAN Of intelA-
oence began to flicker. he pressed her
hand gently to his cheek in parting
earess as he prepared to obey the Di-
vine will.

When the State announced up


the re-convenine Of Court this after
noon that Joseph B. Wylie was its
next witness there was a breath OF
suspense, in the Court room. It was
stated that Wylie was the star wit
ness before the grand jury, and some
sensational developments were ex-
pected. The witness having been a
member Of the State board and being
directly named in the indictment as
the recipient Of the alleged favor
from the defendant. there was natur-
allv great interest in what he would
state upon the stand. Just what the
witness will tell Of the days Of the
old State dispenSaly cannot be fore
ca<ted. but in the preliminary examl-
nation such as this afternoon 5 work
proved to be. there were no startling
revelations.
Nr. Wvlie took the stand with per-
feet abandon and although his voice
sounded slightly nervous at first. he
afterward answered questions in a
clear voice. He was reminded Tre-
queNtly by counsel and the Court to
speak louder.
The witness stated il reply 10 Mr..
Abney that he was forty-one years OF
ace. and was member Of the State
board Of control in 1895. being elect
ed in February and commissioned in
March. The commission was eShlb-
tied and read The minutes Of the
board were introduced as evidence:
and an examination made there by
counsel. The list Of awards made in
the various meetings Of the board
were next introduced. Mr.. Wylie
stated that he as member Of the
board, had dealings with the defend
ant as to bids and awards. Also that
the defendants at the time represent
ed the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Com
pany. Mr.. Wylie named other con-
Germs whom he said defendant repre-
sented. These included Gallagher &
Burton. Richland DiStilling Company,
William Lanahan & Sons. John F.
Beckam & Co.. Big Four Distiiling
Company, and awards were found in
the March p minutes for the An
heuser Company. Other dates were
taken. including April y. May l3,
June Is. etc. and the awards were
read. The concerns alleged to have
been represented by the defendant re-
ceived awards according to the rec
ord. and the amounts were read to
the Jury by Mr.. Wvlle. When this
was concluded. the same tedious pro-
cess was gone through as to the
bids, after Mr.. Abney had explained
to the jury that the StaFute under
which the board acted. The bids were
found for the various times and
awards made
Mr.. Wylie in reply to a question
stated that awards would no, be made
un.e<S there were previous bids from
a concern. The resolution of March
&. 1908. was introduced. this being
that two members Of the board should
SIGN all orders. This was later with

St. Paul. Minn., Sept. 2l.-One Of
the most remarkable tributes ever
paid to the memory Of a public man
in Minnesota Was accorded the late
Governor Johnson to-day.
From the hour that the governor 5
death was first publicly announced
by tolling bells in Rochester, all I'M
usual public activity was abandoned.
All banks. stores and offices were
closed and buildings were draped in
black and purple crepe.
Gov. Johnson 5 body was escorted
to 4 special tram for St. Paul by a
throng Of citizens from every walk of
life. On the train were Mrs John
son. few Of her personal friends,
State officers and friends Of the late
governor. As the cortege passed down
the street leading to the railway sta
ton the escort lined up on either side
with barred heads and the hundreds Of
people around the depot showed a. like
respect. Mayor Thompson had pro-
claimed it a day Of public mourning.
The mayor and councilmen acted as
pallbearers.
All the way along the route to St.
Paul flags vert at half mast and
buildings draped with crepe.
At Zomhrota the entire population
of the town seemed to be at the sta
ion. A touching feature was the ap-
pearance of large number Of school
children lined up along the platform
each provided with the national COL
ors pointed downward. Similar re-
ceptionS were accorded the special
train at other points along the route.
At St. Paul the train was met by
detachments Of all the local compa-
nieS Of the National Guard and an es-
cort Of police. In spite of heavy
downpour of rain the procession to the
State capitol with the militia acting
as escort was witnessed by thousands
Of people.
At tie capitol the body was placed
in the rotunda where it will lie in
state until tomorrow afternoon. guard
ed by four SergeantS, four corporals
and four privateS.
Tomorrow afternoon the Rev. J. J.
LawIer. chaplain Of the governor $
staff. will conduct services in the cap
itol. Thursday the body will be ia
ken to St. Peter. where final services
will be held under Presbyterian aus
pice<. with the Rev. r. f. Clarke in
charge. Lnterment will be in the
family cemetery at st. Peter. where
Gov. Johnson is to be buried beside
his mother. Honorary escorts will
be State officers. the ST. Paul lodge
Of ElkS and the Knights Of PythlaS.
who will accompany the special train

property is situated in Cortez canyon
and belongs to-. Charlie and George

development includes a 4O:foot tunnel
which has shown up some splendid de-
