TOM |. JOHNSON DEAD
FoUR.TlME MAYOR OF cLEvE-
LAND PASSES AWAY.
sueeumbs to clrrhosls Of the Liver
With Which He Had Been A.
filcted for Years.

Cleveland. Ohio, April 12.-Tom l..
johnson, former mayor of Cleveland
and known throughout the nation for
his fight for three-cent street car
fares, died OF cirrhosis Of the liver.
He had been i'll for over two years
but had been confined to his bed only
since March 15. Mr.. johnson was at
one time multi-millionaire and, by
his own confession monopolist. But
1t is as the mayor OF Cleveland that
he will be remembered by the people
OF the United States long after the 9TH
er phases of his career are forgotten.
He was pronounced by Lincoln Stef-
fens 'the best mayor of the best-gov-
erned city in the United States"
He had been so near death for Ave
days that frequently the physician
thought the end had come and twice
newspaper extras were on the street
announcing his death. Then the rumor
was found to be false. Up to week
ago the former mayor had insisted
that he would get we'll and again be
a candidate for mayor Of Cleveland,
but finally he saw his hope was futile
and, after bidding old friends and for.
mer political associates farewell, he re.
signed himself to death.
Il am 30 tired. wish could Sleep
he murmured in his moments of con
sciousness. And finally the sleep came
but not until Mr.. Johnson had suf
fered much pain In the same cheerful
manner that marked his whole career
Sunday when every moment was ex
pected to be his last Mr.. johnson
weakly asked that four letters which
he had dictated some days before be
brought to him. Propped up, he labori
ously signed his name and then fel
back exhausted. These letters go Il

from the man who gave his life fol
his hobby, Sthree-cent fare.
That Mr! Johnson sacrificed his III,
for his principles is certain. He hat
been ailing from cirrhosis Of the live
for years and was told by the physi
clans that he must quit active worl
for awhile and take treatment. but b,

age Reported.

Kansas City, Mo.-A heavy wind
storm. attaining the velocity of a tor.
nado in some sections and accompa.
MED by rain, hail and lightning, swept
over western Missouri, Kansas and
Oklahoma Wednesday, killing thirteen
persons, practically. destroying two
towns, injuring almost hundred per-
sons. wrecking scores of buildings
and putting almost every telephone
and telegraph wire in the territory
out of commission.
Leavenworth, Kan, is reported de-
vastated. Many government buildings
are said to have been destroyed and
business houses in the city wrecked.
The damage to farming property in
the surrounding country is great. All
wire communication with Leaven-
worth is cut of. 1t is known the
storm swept wide e2area, and immense
destruction of property undoubtedly
has occurred.
The tornado levied Its greatest toll
of dead at Big Heart, Okla, where
eight persons were killed, ten injured,
and almost every building in the town
wrecked. Whiting, Kan. was practi-
cally wiped on the map, go buildings
being blown down. 80 people hurt and
Mrs. David Stone killed.
At Powhattan, Kan. woman and
child were killed. A high school
building was wrecked at Eskridge,
Kan, a number of houses damaged
and from fifteen to twenty persons in.
1ured.
At Hiawatha, Kan. a school was
blown down. an eight-year-old boy
named Pelton was killed and several
buildings were struck by lightning
Several persons are known to have
been hurt at Netawaka, Kan. A boy
was killed at Manville. Kan.
The Kansas end of the tornado
started near Whiting and swept in 8
southeasterly, direction for a distance
of more than fifty miles.
It is thought that many more people
were killed and injured than have
been reported at this time. Telephone
and telegraph crews are working tc
get the wires in shape. It is a big
task, as only one wire was left intact
between Kansas City and Topeka
and telegraph communication between
Kansas City and Oklahoma points
was cut of.
