MUST ABIDE BY DECISION

IF Congressman Harry l.. Maynard
appeals to the democratic State CEN
trail committee from the decision or
the Second district committee which
awarded the nomination to Mr. w A.
Young at meeting In Norfolk Friday
after stormy session, he will have
to agree to abide by the ruling Of the
State body before 1t will take any
action In the matter" said Mr.. Clyde
w. Saunders Saturday morning, re-
ferring to the refusal of MIR. Maynard
to sign such an agreement when the
Second district committee acted on his
case.
Committee az Arbiter.
In such matters" continued Mr..
Saunders, who Is a member OF the
State committee from the Richmond
congressional district, the State body
acts merely as arbiter and 1t IS a self
evident proposition that there would
be no such thing as arbitration IL both
parties interested refused to abide by
the decision rendered, whether ad
verse to them or not. l don't know
anything prsonally about the merits
of the Second district case but 1t APP
pears to. me that Mr.. Maynard made
mistake in not signing such an
agreemnt. BY his refusal to do so.
the committee had nothing TO do but
to award the certificate of nominal
ton to Mr.. Young. mis- opponent In
the democratic primary. Otherwise,
an investigation might have been or
dered and the true merits OF the case
ascertained in connection with the
fraud charges.
No Limit TO Appeal
LAS to whether Mr. Maynard will
note an appeal to the State commit
tee is a question which I. OF course
could not forecast There Is no limit
to the time of appeal, however, and
II would be open 10 him TO lay the
matter before the higher body up
to the time of the election in 'Novem-
Der,
There Is probability that the
matter will come up In SOME form or
other at the called meeting OF the
State central and executive commit
tees to be held at Murphy's hotel on
Tuesday, September IA. at 8 p. NJ.
inasmuch as the situation in the Sec
ond district is easily the livest In many
respects In the State.
Help Two Districts.
Special attention will of course
be paid to the situation in the Ninth
and Fifth districts, where the demo-
Gratis are making fight against very
formidable opposition. The commit
tee will supply the democratic candi-
dates in these districts with good
stump speakers and assist them In
other ways, such as barbecues, rally
meetings and the like In the other
districts, there will be no special need
for assistance"

D. @. MILLS DIES
AT WINTER HOME
MILLIONAIRE PIONEER HAS
SUDDEN CALL
Father-in-Law of the Ambassador to
Great Britain Was One of Best
Known Financiers in
Country

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.-Darius
Ogden Mills, one of the most widely
known financiers and philanthroplsts
in the United States, a pioneer of Cali
fornia and father of Mrs. Whitelaw
Reid, wife of the United States am
bassador to Great Britain, died tonight
at his winter home near this city.
Death was due to heart disease and
came so suddenly that his physician
was not with him at the end, although
he was summoned at the first sign of
collapse.
Mrs. Reid. who came to California
with her father a few weeks ago to
spend the winter, was with him at the
end. His son, Ogden Mills, and his
wife left for the east today.
Mr.. Mills, accompanied by his daugh-
ter and the Ogden Miles came to San
Francisco some weeks ago to spend the
winter at the flnancier's mansion near
Millbrea, twenty miles south of this
city He had suffered with heart dis
ease for several years and had vir-
tually withdrawn from his many busi-
ness responsibilities; but there was no
indication that death was imminent.
The family followed it's usual routine
today, following the departure of Ogden
Mills and his wife for the east but
shortly after dinner Mr.. Mills said he
felt a little tired. At o'clock he sud
denly collapsed, and DR.. Harris Herr
stein, the family physician, was sum-
moned hastily from San Francisco.
End Was Peaceful
Death occurred at $3.50 o'clock, the
end coming peacefully. DR.. Herzstein
stated tonight that Mr.. Mills death
was due to angina pectoris, the form OF
heart trouble from which he has suf-
v1,opt1oG and which
compelled his retirement from all ac-
tive engagements.
He appeared feeble when he arrived
in San Francisco but his ailrnent had
shown no alarming symptom, and
death came as a shock to his daughter,
who has been his constant companion
since he left New York.
Darius Ogden Mills was born in New
salem. Westchester county, N. Y, Sep
tember 25, 1925. He was educated at
New Salem academy and at Mt. Pleas
ant academy at Sing Sing, N. Y. In
1854 he married Jane Templeton of New
York city, where he was employed as
a clerk. Later he was cashier of the
Merchants bank of Erie county at
Buffalo, n. Y.
In 1S49 he came to California and be-
came a merchant and dealer on the
exchange at Sacramento. He founded
the banking house of d. o. Mills &
Co, still the leading bank of Sacra-
mento. and subsequently became pres
ident of the Bank of California at San
Francisco, where he remained from 1864
to 1867. After this banking house was
wrecked by his successor, he again
took charge of it and remained In
charge until 1878, re-establishing the
bank on a sound basis.
From 1868 until 1880 he was one of
the regents and treasurer of the Uni
versity of California at Berkeley, where

MORSE DONS HIS
PRISON STRIPES
BANKERS WILL BE KNOWN AS
NUMBER 2814
Convicted Ice Magnate Will Be AS
signed to Construction Gang or
Will Be Put to Work in
Tailor Shop

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 3.-Charles w.
Morse arrived here at 1910 o'clock to-
day from New York. Accompanied by
two New York detectives, Morse hur-
riedly left the train from the side oppo-

information necessary for the prison
records.
After his interview with Warden
Meyer in the prison office, Morse was

cell at the noon hour. This meal con-
sisted of meat, potatoes, and bread,
butter and coffee.
Morse was assigned to class one, in
which he will be accorded the privilege
of receiving visitors for thirty minutes
every two weeks.
He was not assigned to any work to-
day, but 1t was said he probably would
be placed on the construction gang or
given employment in the tailor shop.

GOVERNMENT AFTER
BEEF TRUST; PRICES
BEYOND ALL REASON
Secretary of Agriculture Says the
Farmers Are Not Getting the
Money That consum-
ers Pay

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-"We have
already discovered that the farmer is
not getting the exhorbitant profits out
of the beef he raises,' said Secretary
Wilson in discussing the high prices
of food supplies today. "I have no
doubt that the same condition prevails
in most other lifes OF farm products.
1.-THE department of agriculture has
agents in every state and every county
and they have been ordered to report
on the cost of production and the re-
turns on sales of food products. AS
fast as we receive these figures we
will compare them with the prices the
same products bring in the cities where
they are consumed. We will then make
the facts public.
I'VE intend to bring out the truth
irrespective Of whom it hurts or whom
it benefits. 1 am convinced that the
public is compelled to pay a great deal
more for nearly everything it eats than
it should.
"There is, however, ample excuse for
some of the increases in the cost of liv-
ing Farming area is not keeping pace
with the demands for food stuff. The
cities seem to have more attractions
for the laboring man than the rural
communities

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Former
United States Treasurer j. w. Hueston,
with offices in New York; Samuel Gra-
ham of Montreal and Harvey M. Lewis

spectors last September The COM
pany's scheme for guaranty of. stock
of other companies on the basis of a
commission of 1 per cent of the stock
guaranteed was worked In connection

Delaware, which, according to the in
spectors, was organized with $1,000
capital, and the Washington concern
original capitalization had been IN
creased to 100000.
Lewis is said to have figured con-
spicuously as an official of both com
panies. The inspectors said they talieu
to find any material funds to justify
the guaranty claims.

ever, official documents or reports of
disinterested and unprejudieed travellers
are being listened to, and the bogey of
atrocities is being more or less put
to rest.
GAS a plain matter of fact there were
no atrocities in the Congo. This may

and untried field of labor, were at all
times free from abuses of any kind,
but that the oft-proclaimed atrocities
