lie schools of the city as the result of
an investigation of the subject by a
committee of thirty teachers during
the last school year. The new sys-

condemnation, and the Spencerian

stop to the cramped writing caused
by the old system and to instruct the
children to speedier penmanship.

New York City -Throughout the
Hudson-Fulton celebration there was
constantly in motion one of the great
est machines ever assembled. in re-
gard to it's thousands of human parts
operating in unity, in the work OF
the Police Department of New York
City.
This great machine, with its blocks
of patrolmen, its wagons, it's shutting
ambulances, its field hospitals, its
squads of surgeons and nurses, its
fleets of launches and rowboats, was
practically under the guidance of one
man as chief engineer, First Deputy
Police Commissioner Frederick H
Bugher, who evolved the elaborate
plan under which the millions who
thronged the city's streets were as
sured the maximum of protection
Plans were outlined to care for
crowds of from 100000 to 8,000,-
900 on the days of the great parades,
and so skiifUlly were the arrange
ments made that this was done with
out reducing the regular police pa
trolls or decreasing the regular re-
serves which were held at all stations
to cope with possible emergencies.
Aside from that, too, 1900 policemen
were available for special duty
throughout the ceremonies.
AS factors in this monster mechan-
ism twenty-seven police signal sta
lions were established, running in a
chain from the st. George ferry, Rich
mond, through Brooklyn, up Manhat-
tan and the Bronx to the railroad
tower at the junction of Spuyten
Duyvil Creek and the Hudson River
Each of these stations had direct
wire to headquarters, and each was
equipped with an ambulance or pa
troll wagon provided with surgeon and
stretcher.
On the line of Saturdays naval
parade an auxiliary line of twenty
four telephone stations was installed.
Thirteen separate ambulance stations
lay at intervals between the St.
George ferry, on Staten Island, and
Dyckman street and Broadway. These
were supplemented by fifteen field
hospitals, each fully equipped with
beds and nurses, as well as two float
ing hospitals.
Another chain of twenty patrol
wagons, each in charge of police
surgeon, was run from Tompkins-
Vile to Dyckman street, while a fleet
of fourteen launches and steamers
patrolled the water front continuous
ly from the Kill Won Kull to Spuyten
Duyvil Creek. Supplementing the
latter there was a feet of rowboats
covering the water front.
A three-ply thickness of police au-
thority was planned for the entire
length of Riverside Drive and its
fringe of park. Inspectors, each with
six to seven captains under them,
and the latter in command of squads
of from forty to sixty, had charge of
the strip of land between the river

GOVERNOR JOHNSON,
OF MINNESOTA, DEAD
He Struggled From Poverty to
Eminence.
CHEF EXECUTIVE THREE TIMES
The Son of a Blacksmith, He Rose
Rapidly to Be National Figure
and Prospective Presidential
Candidate.

Rochester, Minn.--GOvernor John
A. Johnson died as the result of an
operation performed several days be-
fore. The end came peacefully, Mrs.
Johnson and other members of the
family being at the bedside.
The life story of John A. Johnson
is one of the most engrossing tales
Of men who have struggled from pow
erty to eminence. For several years
he has been national figure, having
fought his way to this position from
from an unencouraging start.
Johnson, thrice elected Governor
Of Minnesota, was the son of a pau
per. His father, who came from
Sweden a short time before the birth
of the future Governor, was a black
smith, but died in poor house. His
mother, desiring to give her son an
education, took in washing.
Johnson was born in st. Peters.
Mimi, on July 20, 1861. In the
same town, thirteen years later, he
took up the task of supporting his
family. For time he worked in a
grocery, and then got job in a drug
store. He was studious, but also dis
played. even in his early youth, a
deep interest in affairs about him.
He took an active part in the affairs
Of the town, eventually becoming ed
ltor OF its newspaper. On June /,
1894, he married Elinor Preston,
young drawing teacher. In the same
year he was defeated when he ran
for the State Senatorship. Four
years later he won the Office, but at
the expiration of his term, in 1902,
was again defeated. This was fortu-
nate for him, however, as, had he
been elected. he would have been in
eligible for the governorship.
In 1904 Johnson was elected Gov
ernor for the first time. Although
a Democrat in Republican State
he ran $4,000 ahead of his ticket.
He was reelected in 1905 and 1908.
While at the head of the State gov
eminent he made name as re-
former. 1t was he who brought
about the model insurance law which
was fostered by Roosevelt.
In 1908 Governor Johnson was
mentioned prominently as possible
candidate for President, and prob
ably was the closest contestant Of
William Jennings Bryan for the DEM
ocratic nomination.
Governor Johnson, in the last two
years of his life, was regarded as a
developing national figure.
Colonel Henry Watterson intro
duced him to the Democrats in 1907
as one worthy of their votes for
President. His present term as Gov
ernor was generally understood to
have been preliminary movement in
definitely formed plan which con-
templated sending him to the Sen
ate upon its conclusion in 1910, and
to follow this by urging his name
upon the next national convention of
the Democrats in 1912.
