MALCOMSON BEATS
THE NAVY CHAMPION

The match race of 100 yards between
Joe Malcomson, now running for the
Seattle Athletic club and Howard NJ
Quinn, until lately a member Of the
United States navy, was pulled Off on
the university track at Seattle Tues.
day afternoon. Malcomsen led his
! man to the tape without much truble.
Malcomson and Quinn ran about
even for about so yards, and then the
ex-S. A. A. c.. athlete pulled ahead and
beat his man by several yards. The
time was slow, being about 10 3-5.
Neither one of the runners was in the
best of condition, as both can do bet
ter with training.
Quinn is credited with having done
hundred in 9 3-5. He was caught at
8 As several times last year during
his races in China and Japan. He was
fireman on one of the United States
| battleships and has not had sufficient
time to get into condition to show MS
best speed.
| Malcomson is better than he showed
! in this race, and is credited with fiat
| time in several of his races, though
| his strongest race is over the hurdles
at 220 yards It is probable that the
| two sprinters will be matched for an
| otler trial later in the season, as both
men are to run under the Seattle Ath-
letic club colors at the A.-Y.-P. fair.

GOVERNOR
SUCCUMBS
BRAVE MAN FINALLY LOSES IN
HIS LONG, GRIM BATTLE
WITH THE ANGEL OF
FUNERAL SERVICES IMPRESSIVE
Body Brought to St. Paul, Where It
Lies in State at CapitoI-Fina'
Service to be at St. Peter,
Thursday.

Observation-Disclosures Johnson died
1t 1925 Tue day morning. Since mid
aight his death had been expected. but
1880 the thread of life still held,
and it began to look again as if his
remarkable vitality would hold him up
ill daylight. He fingered thus till
1925 when, still unconscious, the brave
| aeart gave a last flicker and the tor
.ured body gave up the ghost.
His wife, and few old friends were
at the bedside, and Frank Day and
Fred Lynch were held in an ante room
awaiting the dread summons.
At o'clock Monday the governor
was as we'll as he had been at any
lime since the operation performed
Wednesday,. Suddenly he began to
fail, and by o'clock his condition had
become so bad that Dr.. M. J. Mayo
announced that the end was approa CHI
ing.
Two hours later it was predicted
that he would not live beyond mid
night. He fell then into a semi-com.
atose condition, in which he lowered
for the rest of the night. Midnight
passed, and l o'clock, and 2, and he
still lived
There was none so brave, however,
as to hold out hope. 1t was thought
he might live till drawn, he might
linger at deaths door even longer; but
before this day is we'll upon it's way
the doctors were assured he would
have crossed the threshold of that por-
tai, and the state and the nation would
be in mourning.
Governor Johnson's body left Ro-
chester on a special train over the
Great Western railway for st. Paul,
accompanied by Mrs. Johnson, Fred
Johnson, the governors brother, Miss
Margaret Sullivan, Frank A. Day,
Fred B. Lynch, w. R. Wylie, of Min
neapolis, colonel on the governors
staff, and Mayor Thompson, of Ro-
chester, together with a committee
Of citizens of that city. =
The body lay in state in the rotunda
of the capitol building on Wednesday
and in the afternoon Rev. Father
Lawler, chaplain of the governors
staff, conducted services in the CAPT.
tol. .t~
On Thursday the body was taken
to st. Peter, where final services
were held under Presbyterian aus
pieces, with Rev. r: p. Clarke in
charge. Interment was also held in

Eberhart Takes Oath.
A. O. Eberhart, of Mankato, has tax.
en- the oath of Office as governor of
the state of Minnesota. The oath was
administered by Chief Justice Start
in a consultation room of the supreme
court.
The ceremony was profoundly sim
pie, the administration of the oath be.
ing practically the only words spoken
in the brief ceremony. 1t was not in
tended at first that the oath should be
administered, until after the burial of
Governor Johnson's remains, but mat.
tiers of Importance, including requisi.
tons which demanded immediate &C.
ton. made the ceremony seem imper.
alive. # -
Senator E. E. Smith, president pro
TEN. of the senate, did not take the
oath of Office as lieutenant governor.
Chief Justice Start directed attention
to the vacancy in the Office and to the
fact that the position upon the presi-
dent pro TEN. of the senate, but Sen.
ator Smith stated that he had decided
not to take the oath of office at this
item, and Chief Justice Start indicated
that this would be entirely satisfac-
tory, SO long as no other official duties
were to be performed
The oath was administered to Mr..
Eberhart in the presence of Justice
Brown, Senator George F. Wilson, and
Senator Ed E. Smith. of Minneapolis:
Attorney General Simpson, Secretary
of State Schmahl, State Treasurer
Dinehart, Auditor Iverson, State Ii
brarian King, and Assistant State
Treasurer Pettijohn. A number of
other friends of Governor Eberhart,
also witnessed the ceremony. Chief
Justice Start administered the oath,
with the following brief statement:
I'VE have received the sad an
nouncement of the death of our be-
loved Governor Johnson. BY virtue of
the constitution, the Office devolves
upon you as lieutenant governor"
Lieutenant Governor Eberhart
raised his right hand, and in a pro-
found silence Chief Justice Start ad-
ministered the oath in a low voice,
"You, Adolph O. Eberhart, do
solemnly. swear that you will support
the constitution of the United States
and the constitution of the state OF
Minnesota, and will faithfully dis
charge the duties of the office of gov
ernor of this state to the best of your
ability and judgment, SO help you
God"
II do" said Mr.. Eberhart.
II hope may make myself worthy
of the responsibility that has been de-
volved upon me-" he said in greeting
one friend.
The governor would make no state
ment as to his immediate acts, other
than to say he would issue arproclama.
