A MUCH MARRIED MAN
AS He Enters Penitentiary Biga-
mist Tells Story of His Life.
HAD MARRIED IS WOMEN
c. c. johnson Admits He Made His Liv-
ing By Making Love and By
Marrying.

San Francisco, Cal.-Christian G.
Johnson sentenced in San Jose to
serve seven years in the penitentiary
for bigamy, is reported to have con-
fessed that he is the mysterious John
MADISON" wanted in many parts of the
country for matrimonial ventures and
systematic sWindling of number of
women under promise of marriage. He
declares that he has been married to
so many women that he cannot count
them off-hand.
I'm 1885, he says, Il quit my bust
ness of buying horses, and from that
day to this time | have been making
my living by marrying and making
love to women, getting their money,
and then deserving them.
Il want to say that l married all of
the women just to have a good time.
The doctors told me / did not have
long to live, and l should enjoy my
self while | lived. / found pleasure
money from them. | am not a hyp-
notist, but only had to met a woman
few times and knew just how to
handle her. | have found that it
did not pay to be soft and sweet with
woman Treat her little harsh
and be little distant and she will
come to YOU"
One of his most amazing feats, &C.
cording to his own confession, was
making love to ten women at one
time in Portland, Oregon. While he
admits that he, got money from most
Of them, and that his marriages were
part of get-rich-Quick system, John
son declares that in every instance
he spent the money he received upon
the victim herself.
Johnson declares that he was born
in Germany, and, coming to this coun-
try in the '70's, secured post with
the United States government buying
horses for the army on commission.
This took him all over the country
At first, he says, he was a woman
hater, because he had been separated
from sweetheart in Germany, who
died later He married the first of his
many wives in Springfield, Mass, in
1906 She was Mrs. Marie Brown.
Il married only one woman under
the name of John Madison" Johnson
declared. Her name was Jones-H l
remember rightly-Ada Jones. | got
$1,000 from her because she said she
loved me- / could have got $50,O00."
From most of the women, Johnson
says, he obtained money or jewelry or
both.
Johnson left in custody of deputy
sheriff, for San Quentin prison, where
he is to serve seven-years' SEN
tence.
OF Is women whom Johnson mar
ried, according to the confession,
seven are from California, four from
Missouri, two from Oregon, and one
each from Kansas, Arkansas, Tennes-
see, Illinois and Massachusetts. The
one from Tennessee was a Mrs. King,
from Memphis; the one from Arkan-
sas, Mrs. Birdie King of Hot Springs.

EVADING PROHIBITION Law.
Unique Scheme Discovered in Mis-
sssippi.

Washington, D. Ca unique
scheme to evade prohibition laws has
been devised by the Incorporation of
express companies which operate be-
tween states. In the last two or three
months several such companies have
been incorporated in various parts of
the country. In every instance the
companies do business close to state
lines. None of them have filed with
the interstate commerce commission
their annual report and it is under
stood, an effort will shortly be made
by the officials of prohibition states to
prevent the operation of such COM
panies.
The commission received an in.
quiry from the Mississippi state au-
thorities a few days ago respecting
the operations of an express company
at Natchez. Mississippi is a prohibit
ton state, yet it developed that an
express company had been organized
and incorporated at Natchez, the bulk
of business of which appeared to be
transportation of beers and liqours
from another state into Mississippi
The beverages are consigned to indi-
viduals in Mississippi and are deliv-
cred by wagons of the express COM
pany. The curious part Of the trans.
action is that the express company
was incorporated by dealers in beers
and liquors with the evident inten-
ton, according to the Mississippi au-
thorities, of evading the stringent state
liquor laws. A similar case has aris-
en- in Massachusetts,.

SOUTH'S PROSPERITY DISCUSSED.
Diversity of Agriculture is the Cause,
Says Railway President.

New York City.--A greater diversi'
fcation of agriculture is attributed to
the prosperity which the south is en-
joying by President w. w Finley Of
the Southern Railway. After attend
ing directors meeting here and be,
fore starting for Washington, Mr., Fin.
ley said that the higher prices of
wheat had led the southern farmer to
grow crops other than that of cotton,
and that this had been such a great
success that the continued prosperity
of the southern states was assured.
This fact and the large increase in
cotton manufactures had brought
much money into that section. Cot.
ton mills in the south had proved so
successful, said Mr. Finley, that many
others were now being built, and that
there was bound to be a decrease of
raw cotton shipped to the New Eng
land mills, and possibly to the Liver
pool market.

PUBLICITY FOR TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT.
Bill Posters and Distributors Donate
$1,2OO,OO0 in Advertising.

Atlanta, Ga.--The Bill Posters and
Distributors of the United States and
Canada, in session here, by unani-
nous action voted to give space and
publicity for six months in the 3,40O
towns and cities, in which they oper-
ate billboards, to the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis, which, IL paid for,
at regular rates would cost the as
sociation $1,2OO,00O.
That this action was meant, and
meant sincerely was evidenced by the
amendment to the original resolution
which changed the wording of 1t
from the association hereby re-
quests" to "the association hereby di-
reefs" so that there will be no eva
sion even if such were desired at
any point in the country.
President Chennell, in speaking Of
the question stated he believed that
he could have the paper on which
the advertisements were printed, fur
nished by the paper mills free; the
ink with which they are printed do
mated free; and the railroads to haul
them over the country free.

PATTEN BULLS WHEAT
Chicago Operator Forces Up
Price Of Cereal.
CORNER ON JULY DELIVERY
Price Jumps to $l.25, and 1t Is Said
$1.sO Will Be Reached---FlOur
Advances.

CHICAGO. Ill.-Wheat for July dellV-
cry advanced Z cents during stormy
session on the board OF trade, estaD-
fishing a new high record mark Ior
the season, and giving promise OF a
repetition of the recent deal head
ed by James A. Patten and his col
leagues in the May option. The top
mark reached by the July delivery
was 1,27, compared with $1.20 the
closing figures of the previous day.
The Immediate cause OF the buying
furry, which resulted, in the sensa-
tiOnal advance, were additional ram
fall in Kansas and Missouri, where
the new crop of wheat is now being
harvested or is awaiting the visit OF
the thresher, and dispatches from 9TH

tiOns of the country telling Of dam
age to the new crop by excessive
rains
Numerous reports we're received
from points in Illinois, Mississippi,
Kentucky and Tennessee, which
claimed that the wheat already har-
vested is sprouting in the shock oW-
ing to the unfavorable weather
There is practically no wheat suit
able for delivery on contracts in this
city at the present time and what lit
tie there is belongs to the Patten in
terestS. The leader of this clique sue
caeded in merchandising the grain de-
1iYered to him during the closing days
of the May corner and he now de-
mands the wheat sold to him for this
months delivery. When shorts went
to him early in the day with offers
OF settlement it is claimed they were
told to buy the grain in she pit. The
attempt to carry out this line of ac-
tion was the cause of the 7-cent bulge.
Twice during the day the pit was
thrown into turmoil, first when 5
cents was added to the price of the
duly delivery during the first half
hour of trading and again near the
close, when 2 more points were added
to the total. Demand was so fierce
at the start that the price between
sales jumped from IA to 1c at leap
A wild shout arose when the price
touched $1.25 and predictions were
freely made that $1.5O would be reach.
4. ed before the end Of the month,
As result of the sharp advance
in wheat prices, -four was marked up
10 to 20 cents for the best descrip.
tons of old wheat variety, while new
wheat -four was advanced 10 cents

COTTON NEEDS RAIN.
Improvement Is Shown In Some of
the Statea.


Memphis, Tenn. THE following is
the Commercial-Appeals summary OF
the weeks cotton crop condition:
Returns from the cotton crop this
week are mixed. Improvement Is
noted in Georgia, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma
and northern and eastern Texas. No
improvement or loss occurred in North
Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana,
and central, southern and western
Texas.
The plant in Arkansas, Oklahoma
and northern Texas is large, fruiting
well, thrifty and full of promise. East
of the Mississippi river, although i'm
provement has taken place as noted,
the plant Is small and not always
healthy and apparently stands are
bad.
] Heavy rains in North and South
Carolina delayed cultivation and much
grass is still complained Of Dry
weather there is greatly desired. Much
apprehension exists throughout cen
trail and western Texas of sum-
mer drought. 1t has not rained there
for two weeks or more and tenn
peratures have been very 4gh. The
plant shows the effect. IS yet no
great damage has resulted, but 1t is
believed that the crop has reached a
point where it will soon deteriorate
without moisture Boil Weevils are nu-
merous in Louisiana, but elsewhere
complaints are not frequent.

CENSUS PLACES FOR THE SOUTH.
Republicans and Democrats to Share
Enumerators' Jobs.

Washington, d. C.--President Taft
discussed with his cabinet the distri-
button of census patronage in the
south The senators Of several of the
southern states recently have consult
ed with the president on this subject
and he has told them in broad way
that his policy will be to name emu
merators without regard to political
affiliations, the desire being to get the
best available men for these response
BILE and difficult positions.
Republicans and democrats will
share alike in the appointments
throughout the south. Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock likely will be consult
ed extensively in the filling of cen
sus Offices. Secretary Nagel of the
department of commerce and labor,
under whose jurisdiction the census
Office operates, also will carefully scru.
tinize the recommendation made by
southern senators.
