JOHN A. JOHNSON H0N0RED BY
PRESIDENT
Gov. Hughes, Former United States
Senator Towne and Others Eulo-
gize Late Chief Executive
of Minnesota

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Tribute to the

attend.
President Taft's letter said in part:
Il knew Governor Johnson, valued
him highly as a friend and regarded
his promotion to the governorship of
great state and to national prominence
as a statesman and citizen as one of
the best evidences of the equality of
opportunity that we have in this coun-
try and of the fact that his character,
earnest endeavor and great ability and
intelligence will enable a man to raise
himself from the humblest position in
civil society to a leader among us"

CHARITABLE SOCIETY
IS IN NEED OF HELP
MONEY WANTED TO SECURE
PERMANENT HOME
Mothers Friend Organization in Want
of Funds with Which to Make
First Payment on
Property

The Mothers Friend society, char
table institution chiefly engaged in
giving aid to needy widows and their
children and in visiting the homes of
the distressed, is making a great eff
fort to secure a permanent home where
the needy can receive proper care and
attention. To this end the society has
secured the option on house and lot
on Central avenue, between Seventh
and Eighth streets, which may be
bought for $4,000. The first payment
of $4,000 is to be made December 1, and
later in the month a like sum must be
paid on the property, the remainder to
be paid on extended time. There is
only $500 raised so far for this purpose,
and the short time in which to raise
the necessary $4,000 will require un-
daunted efforts on the part of the
leaders of the society.
Mrs. Arches Mooney of S03 Figueroa
street is the president of the society.
Co-workers, consisting of more than a
dozen women, are quietly engaged with
her in the work of the society.
A main feature connected with the
proposed new home will be in the care
of children while their mothers are
obliged to be away from home in order
to support their families.
For several months the society has
been working hard to formulate plans
to secure headquarters to accommo-
date the constantly increasing demand
of charity, and quick action must be
made to secure the funds with which
to make the first payment on the pro-
posed property.
The society co-operates with the AS
sociated Charities in charitable work.
Funds toward the securing of the home
may be sent to the president of the
association.

EXCOMMUNICATED PRIEST
STILL OCCUPIES CHURCH
Father Carrgan of Denver Conducts
Services and Refuses to Yield
Pastorate

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 2S.-Despite
the formal notice of his excommuni-
cation from the church, which was
read today in most of the churches of
the Catholic diocese of Colorado,
Father j. P. Carrigan, pastor of st.
Patricks church, conducted services
before a large congregation.
Father Carrigan himself read the
formal notice of his communication
by Bishop Matz to his parishioners.
He then discussed the notice in de-
tail, explaining charges brought
against him by Bishop Matz, and char
acterizing the document as "the last
stroke of a desperate man, consumed
by the spirit of revenge against his
brother"
Father Carrigan's stand in refusing
to vacate the pastorate of st. Pat
rick's was upheld by the local courts.

FALLS FROM WAGON
SEAT; NEGRO IS DEAD
Victim Taken to Hospital, Where 1t Is
Found His Injuries Are Numer-
ous- Death Comes at
6:35 O'Clock

Dave Traylor, 25 years old, negro
who was stabbed in the abdomen two
years ago and survived an operation
which resulted in the removal of eight
cen inches of lacerated intestines,
was injured fatally yesterday morn
ing when, while driving his team
with which he hauls earth, he fell from
his seat beneath the wheels at Seventh
street and Santa Fe avenue, and was
run over.
The injured man was taken to the
receiving hospital, where the police
surgeons performed an operation and
found he had sustained severaI frac-
tured ribs, rupture of the liver, d
crushed kidney and his lungs pune
tured by the broken ribs.
The negro was under an anaesthetic
for more than an hour, and shortly
after the operation was completed was
taken to the county hospital. where
ne died at 6:35 o'clock last evening.

Fifth Street Auditorium theater.
Word has been quietly passed around
in the machine camp to wait for
election day." In other words, the
slush fund will not be tapped until
December Z. The gang expects to
"hire" an exceedingly large force of
election day workers. This is but an
other way of buying votes. A man is
given few dollars presumably to
work on election day, getting out the
vote. Instead of doing this, he simply
casts his own ballot and attempts to
influence the vote of another. Most
of the money will be used in the
Seventh and Eighth wards. An at
tempt also will be made to use money
in the Second ward, but here there
have been so many precautions taken
that it will be impossible.
In order to offset the effect Of money
using, and to prevent illegality on cleo
tion day, the Good Government or
ganization will have several volunteer
watchers in every precinct and at
every polling place. A special force
will be employed to run down and ar
rest any who attempt to repeat or
vote illegally.
In downtown districts the push"
probably will attempt to do most of its
dirty work. 1t always is easier to vote
repeaters from rooming houses than
in any other section of the city. The
Good Government organization has a
list of every person who has a right
to vote at the election and, IL any
person whose name is not on that list
attempts to vote, he not only will be
challenged but also will be forced to
give an account of himself, and may be
arrested for violating the election law.
At least one automobile will be fur
nished by Good Government forces for
each polling place. In order to sup
ply the demand, it has been found nee
essary to appeal to auto owners to vol
unIeef IDelT HndCHlheS lIees ANY pei
son who desires to aid the cause Of
good government and who wishes to see
Mayor Alexander and the entire ticket
headed by him elected and who has
an auto or conveyance of any sort to
offer, should communicate at once with
Good Government headquarters in the
German building.
Funds also are needed by the Good
Government organization. An appeal
is being sent out, as there is needed
quite a sum of money to carry the elec-
ton to a successful conclusion.
"Do not be overconfldent" is the
warming being sent out to all believ-
ers in good government. 1t is the de-
sire of the organization to get out
every vote possible. for it is only in this
manner that the election of the entire
Good Government ticket will be as
sured.

CHINESE TRADE
MIGHT BE WON
AMERICA LOSES TRAFFIC
THROUGH APATHY
Claims German and English Firms
Secure Most of Business with
OrientaIs Because OF
Greater Energy

American merchants and manufac-
turers are to blame for the small
amount of trade between China and
the United States, according to a
statement made last night by James =.
McNally, United States consul at
Nanking China. Mr.. McNally is
guest with his wife and family, at
the Lankershim hotel and is on ms
way to Washington, d. c., to report
to the state department.
German and English firms are get
ting most of the trade in the orient
because the Americans do not go after
business" said Mr.. McNally last night.
1.-THE Chinese would rather do business
with America than any other nation.
This is shown by the growth of trade
in cotton print goods. There has been
a steady increase in the demand for
American cotton goods ever since they
were first introduced in China, some
three or more years ago. Smoked and
canned meats also find ready sale in
China, when any American label is
on the can.
UNFORTUNATELY America is so pros
porous that all her products or nearly
all of them are taken at home. The
time will come when this will not be
true, and then it may be too late to
get the Chinese trade.
China Is Awakening
"China is just now rubbing her eyes
after her long sleep. In the course or
a few years China will be a field the
exporters of the Pacific coast should
not overlook. Railroads are being
built rapidly and that means there
will be commercial development on a
large scale Crude methods are still
employed and it will be the duty of
Americans to introduce modern meth
ods and modern implements of all
sorts.
"The Chinese in China are not the
Chinese in America. never have
found in all my travels finer lot of
men than the better classes of Chinese
at home. They are dependable and
likable, and 1 have enjoyed my three
years stay there to the fullest extent.
"As an evidence of the awakening
in China, the first exposition ever held
in China will be opened next May in
Marking. 1t will be the first attempt
ever made in China to show what she
can produce and will serve a great pur-
pose. Just at present the principal i'm
port from the United States is flour.
/ am reliably informed the Chinese will
soon be in position to export flour. 1t

too late"
Mr.. McNally is on a sixty-day leave
of absence. He will leave today for
Washington, D. c., to confer with the
consular bureau. Later he will return
to Los Angeles to pass Christmas with
his family. He expects to establish
his family home in Los Angeles for
the winter. so his children may secure
an education.

It is, said Winnie, warming to
her theme, the most blissful state
in which human beings can
exist
Pardon me, interrupted the
widower, but do you think this
"blissful" is exactly the right
word to-to express your idea.
Certainly, said Winnie, with
asperity.

sadly.
You've not been married, he
sighed; so you don't know.

shouldn't, put in the widower,

You would then enjoy the ad-
vantage of being in a position to

me become one.

widower decisively. Do you know
Winnie-by the way, you don't
mind my calling you Winnie, do
you? You see, i have known you
ever since you were a baby
You have known me just six
years, corrected Winnie sternly.
Since I was sixteen.
Really! said the widower in as
tonishment. I fancied-I i'm.
agined-I was quite under the
impression, in fact, that I had
known you much longer.
Well, you haven't, said Winnie.
And I should think that's quite
long enough.
Quite, he agreed, for the pur.
pose. And Winnie has always
struck me as being the very
prettiest name girl could have.
