Reformer, But Not q Radical
D. R. JONES, Cashier

Although reformer, Governor
johnson was not radical. He Inn
pressed those associated with him as
man of the Lincoln type. Mr.. john
son was never ashamed of his humble
parentage, or of his early struggles,
but he never paraded his career for
political effect. He was always dig
nified, but natural. In dress he was
modest, but was careful to appear IN
fashionable clothes, and it has been
said of him that he was the best
dressed governor in the country.
Governor Johnson was a member
of the Presbyterian church. He was
married in Rochester, Mimi, in 1895,
to Miss Nora Preston. His wife was
his constant attendant during his
fatal illness.

BEGAN WHEN BIG
SHIPS WERE HERE
Miss Ethel M. Cramer of San
Rafael StartIes Mother With
Brief Message
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


SAN RAFAEL, Sept. II. Harvey
and | married today. Ethel" was the
startling telegram received by Mrs.
j. w. Cramer here today, announcing
the wedding of her daughter, Ethel
Marie, to Ensign Harvey w. McCor-
mack of the United States torpedo
boat destroyer Truxtun. at Seattle yes
terday.
Although the interesting romance
dates back to the arrival of the fleet.
when the young couple met at navy
function in San Francisco, the news
of the marriage at this time comes
most unexpectedly. as preparations
were being made for an elaborate
church wedding here October 10.
The bride belongs to one of San
Rafaers oldest families, and is consid-
cred by many quite as fascinating as
her younger sister. Mabel. who has
often been called California's fairest
beauty.
Ensign Mccormack, although only
% years old. is very popular in naval
circles He comes of prominent
southern family. his father. John w.
Mccormack, being a wealthy orange
grower of GAINESVILLE, Fla.
He was graduated from Annapolis
three years ago, and came west with
the big fleet. He met his bride at
q navy ball, and their chance ac-
auaintance ripened into an affection
which resulted in their engagement
about a year ago.
Frequent letters were exchanged be-
tween the pair when Ensign Nc
Cormaek was forced to accompany his
ship to Seattle, and unknown to Mrs.
Cramer, a clever plan was arranged
for a quiet wedding in the north. The
happy young fiance took her fair sister
Mabel into her confidence, and together
they left for Seattle under the pre-
text of visiting Ensign Mccormack
aunt and uncle. who had come out from
the east.
The first word Mrs. Cramer received
from them was the brief dispatch,
Harvey and / married today. Ethel
Not a detail of the wedding has the
anxious mother.
"It was not an elopement, she said
indulgentIy, smiling through her tears,
..but it was a most startling surprise,
especially when we had everything
planned for a church wedding in Oc-
tober.''
AS Ensign Mccormack is enjoying a
furlough. the young couple Will visit
his relatives in Florida, and after an
extensive tour of the south, will return
10 make their home in San Rafael.

STUDY MURDfRfR'S
MENTAL CONDITION
Lunacy Commissioners Seek TO
Determine Sanity of James
Edward Cunningham

Doctors D. d. Lustig and Charles
D. McGettigan. sitting as an insanity
commission, yesterday morning began
their examination of James Edward
Cunningham, murderer of Carolina
Brasch, to determine his mental con-
dition. Several witnesses were exam
ined in the commissions office at the
ningham was questioned at some
length. The doctors reported to Assist
ant District Attorney Ward that they
wished to keep Cunningham under OBJ
servation for several days, and it is
probable that the trial in Judge
Dunne's court will be continued for at
least another week.
The first witness called by the alien
lists was Cameron II. King Jr., attorney
for the accused murderer, on whose
affidavit the question of Cunningham s
sanity was first raised. King testified
that from his conversations with his
client he believed the man to be in
sane. He said that he rambled in his
talk and that he made many eXtraordi-
nary statements relating both to the
murder and to other events. Cunning
King. particularly in relation to the
subject of mesmerism and to the claim
that girl named Shirls was present
in the office of Gray Brothers at the
time he shot and killed Carolina
Brasch.
NEWSPAPERMEN TESTIFY
w. Russell Cole and John F. Neylan,
two newspapermen who were present
at the time Cunningham made his or
igina1 confession of the murder to The
Call, told of his actions at that time
and repeated in substance the outline
of his confession. Both declared that
at that, time they considered him sane
on all details having any direct bear
ing on the subject of the murder.
Under Sheriff Peter J. Haggerty, Bailiff
]. A. Kelly of Judge Dunnes court and
Convict Guards r. NJ. Brown, Thomas
X. Stewart and Harry Squires, who
have had Cunningham under constant
observation at the county jail. declared
their belief that he was of sound mind.
QUESTIONED IN HIS CELL
Cunningham was questioned for some
time in his cell in the detention ward
of the hospital, and Assistant District
Attorney Ward was asked to write a
letter to the superintendent of the
Arizona state insane hospital at Phoe-
nix to investigate Cunninghams claim
that he was confined there for a short
time between the years 1892 and 1896.
One letter has already been received
saying that no man was committed
under the name of James Edward Cum
ninghan1, but further information is
wanted concerning the possibility that
he might have been committed under
some other name. Cunningham de-
clared yesterday that prior to his al
lpppdH commitment he had beap troi0 O.
under the assumed name of James
HalIowed.
Until decision S to Cunningham
sanity is reached by the physicians in
charge and report made to the court
the prisoner will be held under obser-
vation in the detention ward at the
central emergency hospital

ing and in little more than a month
San Francisco will be entertaining the
nations of the world at what 1t is
hoped, VIII be the greatest celebration
ever held in this country. Much OF
the work has already started but more
is being held back owing to the lack
of funds.
subscriptions to the Portola festival
fund are urgently needed. Every days
delay threatens to impair the great
success the festival was planned to be.
Work on a great many features can
not be started until the necessary
money is in sight.
Subscriptions are flowing in more
rapidly, and there appears to be little
doubt that the money will be raised.
But money on hand today is what the
festival is urgently in need of. The
widespread interest in the festival
throughout the world is daily becom-
ing more apparent and has had decided
effect in stimulating the donations.

ARoUsEs GREAT INTEREST

c. c. Moore, commissioner of the
Portola festival in Europe, sails for
home today. His mission abroad has
been an unqualified success. In ad-
dition to interesting the powers in San
Francisco's celebration he has aroused
enthusiasm concerning the festival
among the Americans that he met in
Europe that will bear great fruit.
The Willingness to contribute to the
festival fund that has been displayed
by those from whom little was ex
pected on account of business condi
tions has been one of the pleasing sur
prises of the canvass for funds. 1t is
an evidence of the true spirit of San
Francisco and has aided greatly in
inducing others to subscribe.

day:

Whatever your age may be, begin
now to think Of yourself as in the
dawn Of new developments. Say to
yourself many times day that you
possess more vital power. more mental
force, more magnetism and charm than
ever before in your life.
Say also that you are better loved
and more fully appreciated for all your
virtues and charms than ever before
and that your ability to give and re-
ceive happiness is unlimited.
Then use moments which you have
been accustomed to idle away or to
employ in melancholy thoughts in i'm
proving yourself. Let this improve
ment be threefold until body and mind
and spirit all radiate new brilliancy.
Give your mind new thoughts. Give
your spirit new aspirations and feed
your brain with some new purpose.
Keep up whatever accomplishments
you possess. Cultivate new ones. Be
gin at forty. fifty or sixty even to
study languages and music and art.
And instead of continually thinking
about advancing age think about in
creasing qualities and charms. In
stead Of worrying over added years
rejoice over added occupations and
means Of enjoyment. Encourage the
young to seek your society. Amuse
and interest them, and this can be done
only by keeping in sympathy with
their ideas.

along the line Of criticism and dispar-
aging comparisons Of the young peo-
