TOM L. JOHNSON
DIES IN HOME CITY

that his scope was too limited Mr.. Du
Pont had every confidence in his protege.
He knew that the ambitious young man
would try to succeed honestly.
One morning, the office boy told Mr..
Johnson that Mr. Du Pont wanted to see
him. Johnson entered the presidents pri-
vate office little dreaming of all that was
In store for him. Without rising from his
chair, Mr.. Du Pbnt handed his youthful
superintendent a certified check for $50, 900,
with the information that he'was. henorably
discharged, and could try his fortune in
the open mart.
But the security" uuerried Tom John
Your word is enough for me- said Mr.,
Du Pout. III you live, know you'n pay

so much. But you'll live, Tom; and now,

Mayor of Cleveland.
johnson went in and won fame and for
tune. He was instrumental in undertaking
the street railway systems OF st. Louis
and Detroit, served in congress from Ohio
and became one Of the radical democratic
leaders of Ohio. His chief claim to dis.
tinction rests on his record as mayor Of
Cleveland. Taking up the 'three-cent fare
slogan pressed TO settlement by Governor
Pingree in Detroit, Johnson was elected
mayor OF Cleveland on that issue, and was
reelected three times while the campaign
for reduced fares waged with uncom
mon fierceness. Mr.. Johnsons thorough
knowledge of street railway management
and methods enabled him TO meet and of
ten forestall the moves of the Cleveland
company, and his financial resources CAV,

Princess Irene is
Safe in the HarbOr
North German Lloyd Liner Which
Was Fast on Sands Eighty-Three
Hours Little Damaged.

NEW YORK. April 10.-Displaying two
black balls the usual mot under contgol"
signal the steamer Princess Irene today
safely passed into the harbor entrance
which II missed last Thursday morning in
the fog, burying its nose instead in the
Fire island sandpit. where It was held a
prisoner for the better part Of four days.
Except for broken rudder post the
Irene was believed 70 be none the worse
for its imprisonment Off the Lone hin
lfesavinR station, from which II was re.
leased yesterday afternoon after It's 72l
passengers had been taken off and landed
safely Saturday morning. Because OF the
arrangement OF the steering mechanism.
however, the liner was not privileged to
ccme in under its own steam. II was sur
rounded BY fleet Of tugs, which had es.
corted It from Fire island waters to an
anchorage outside the bar late last night
At 6:45 the Irene passed IN Sandy Hook
IN tow Of four tugs. At the rock II will
be examined by divers and then sent to
Newport News for examination in dry
dock The greater part Of the cargo is stu
on board and II will be discharged at Ho-
boken as soon as possible
Bearing no visible scars except a
shattered post the North German
Lloyd liner PRINCESS Irene, slipped
away from Fire island Sunday afternoon as
unexpectedly as Il had come in the fog
OF Thursday morning After eighty-three
hours Of imprisonment in the sand she
cheated the graveyard of the Atlantic 4"
and was floated with the aid of tugs At
siO6 p. IN. At $40 o'clock It left in tow
for Scotland light to anchor for the night.
II has been an iron rule with the North
German Lloyd that a captain who loses
his ship shall be DISMISSED from the serv,
ice. But as the veteran Petersen OF the
Princess Irene will take his ship back
across the Atlantic under her own steam,
II is the assumption hts personal grief will
be his CHIEF punishment

G., E, KisSel, Sugar
Trust Broker, is Dead
Financier Under Indictment in Con.
nection with Philadelphia
Merger Passes Away.

NEW YORK, April 10.-Ciustav e. Klssel,
long prominent as a Wall street broker and
for many years intimately identified with
important financial interests, died early
today at his home here after an illness
exceeding more than month.
Gustav e. Kisscl came into the spot light
Of publicity through the acquisition by the
American Sugar Refining company and the
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining company Of
Philadelphia. Mr. Kissel, with the presi-
dent and six directors Of the American
Sugar Refining company known as the
Sugar trust, were indicted by the federal
grand jury in New York on July Il, 1909
on charge of conspiracy in restraint OF
trade.
Adolph Segal, who a short time before
had sold a sugar refinery at Camden, n.
j., TO the Sugar trust, had just completed
new 100000 refinery at Philadelphia
and announced that he would fight the
American company. Segal, who had be-
| come involved in real estate transactions,
was in need of money and had applied to
various banks for assistance, offering as
! collateral stock In the new refinery.
The government alleged that the Sugar
trust employed Kissel, as a broker, TO offer
financial relief to Segal. Kissel, accord
ing to the indictment, offered to lend Segal
| 50, 10000 on the security of 5000 shares OF
the $1,000 shares Of his new refinery. Segal
accepted the loan. The government alleged
that Kissel deceived segal as to the
source of the money"
| Soon after the loan was made, Kissel,
according to the indictment, turned over
the majority stock. which constituted a
voting trust to the American Sugar Re
filming company a new board of directors
was put in and ii was voted to operate
the Segal refinery
The result was that Segals income was
cut off, he could not meet the interest on
his loan and a crash came.
Efforts were made to quash the indict-
ments, but last December the supreme
court of the United States held that the
indictments were valid, and District At
torney Wise said he would proceed to
trial at the earliest possible time.
