pressed a desire to go to the hospital
as suggested by his physicians, but
each day he delayed his departure
from the hotel. Sunday evening he
expressed a willingness to go, and

into the vehicle, but immediately
collapsed. He was then told that he
could not withstand the drive of a halt
mile there.

room, expiring in a few minutes.

SOUTH DOES HONOR TO
MEMORY OF SEMMFS
~hday of Naval Hero Is
Marked.

New Orleans, La, Sept. 27.-By
command of Gen. Clement A. Evans,
commander-in-chief of the United
Confederate Veterans, and in accord
ance with resolutions adopted at the
last Conf5 S*e reunion today was set
aside thr95 g : the South for the OBJ
servance OF. s>>f one hundrdeth ami
versary of the birth of Rear Admiral
Raphael Semmes, one of the most
celebrated heroes of the Confederate
States navy.
Admiral Semmes was born in
4 IS county, Maryland, Sept. q,
III HIn 1926 he was appointed a mid
Z 1pman in the United States navy.
and in the ensuing winter made his
first cruise in the sloop of war Lex
ington. He saw service during the
war with Mexico, assisted at the land
ing of General Taylor's army at Mon
terey and was present at the taking
of the City of Mexico
At the outbreak of the civil war he
resigned his commission and imme-
diately offered his services to the
Confederate States government. He
purchased the Habana, a propeller
packet of 500 tons, plying between
New Orleans and Cuba, and hastily
equipped her as a commerce-destroy-
er. This vessel was renamed the
Sumter and succeeded in taking her
out of New Orleans, which was block
AIDED by the Federals. For several
months he cruised along the coast of
South America and made many rich
captures.
In the latter part OF 1861 he crossed
the Atlantic, arrivig at Cadiz Janu-
ary 2, 1862. Being closely blockaded
at Gibraltar, he sold his ship and with
several of his officers went to Eng
lang and thence to the Bahama ISL
ands Soon afterwards he was com
missioned captain and sent 10 Eng
land to take command of the new
ship building in the Mcrsey for the
Confederate States.
Captain Semmes commissioned the
vessel as the Confederate man-of-war
Alabama, and ON August "a, 1864, he
fought and sank the United States
steamer Hatteras off Galveston. The
following June he encountered in the
English channel off Chebourg, the
United States steamer Kearsage, in
command of Captain Winslow. After
one of the most desperate naval bat
ties of the war, Semmes surrendered
an twenty minutes later the Alabama
sank. Captain Semmes escaped by
jumping overheard, and a few months
later returned home and was commits
stoned rear admiral.
With the close of the war he re-
turned to his home in Mobile, and de-
voted the remainder of his life to the
practice of law. His death occurred
August 80, 1877.

Late Governor Probably Left All to
His Widow.

st. Paul, Mimi, Set. 27.-Fred W
Johnson, the late Governor Johnsons
brother, Fred B. Lynch and T. D. o.
Brien, close friends of Governor
Johnson, have begun the work of get
ting the estate of the dead Governor
into shape so that it may be probated.
Governor Johnson left no will, but it
is understood it was his wish, express

be turned over to Mrs. Johnson. 1t is
estimated that the value of the estate

PLACE BAN ON CHECKS
UNDER ONE DOLLAR
Cannot OJ for Amount
Under That Sum.

Washington, Sept. 27.-BusIness
men of the country are just learning
that the penal code adopted at the last
session of Congress puts ban on
checks for less than ST. Charles d.
Norton, acting secretary of the treas
ury, has asked the law officers of the
government to construe the provisions
of the code for him.
The mail-order houses throughout
the country appear to be much con-
cerned on account of this provision
The new code was approved on March
4, 1909, and will go into effect on
January l, 1910. The language of the
provision forbids the making, issuance
circulation or paying out of any note
check, memorandum token or other
obligation for less than ST.
Business firms who have been inter-
viewed as to the effect of the new en-
actment say it will mean the substitu-
ton of postage stamps, subsidiary coins
and postotfice money orders in lieu of
the bank checks for payment of ac-
counts representing fractions of dol
lar
The number of bank checks drawn
in payment of balances of less than a
dollar are very few.
Treasury officers are at a loss to ac-
count for the legislation. 1t does not
apear to have been discussed in either
house of Congress.
One banker expressed the opinion
that it was step toward the estab-
lishment of postal savings bank. The
most rational explanation of the enact
ment appears to be that it was design
ed to stimulate the sale of postage
stamps and postal money orders.
