TOM L. JOHNSON DEAD;
GIVES LIFE FOR HOBBY
Four-Time Cleveland Mayor Suceunbs
From Effect Of Fight for
Three-cent Fare.

Cleveland. Ohio. - Tom L. John
son, former mayor of Cleveland
and known throughout the nation for
his fight for three-cent street car
fares, died here Monday night of cir
rhosis Of the liver. He had been I'll
for over two years but had been con-
fined to his bed only since March Is.
Mr.. Johnson was at one time a multi
millionaire and, by his own confession.
a monopolist. But it is as the mayor
of Cleveland that he will be remem-
bered by the people of the United
States long after the other phases Of
his career are forgotten. He was
pronounced by Lincoln Steffens "the
best mayor of the bestgoverned city
in the United States"
He had been so near death for five
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 a week
ago the former mayor had insisted that

appeared at the Jail Rushing to the
cell occupied by her husband, she
kissed him
The Hyde decision comes exactly
one year from the date that his trial
began here.
An important point in the decision
was that the court said Judge Ralph
Latshaw's action in ordering Hyde
locked up during the progress of his
trial was improper and unjustified."
The court reviews how the state
showed the deaths close together OF
Moss Hunton and Colonel Swope and
the epidemic of typhoid fever which
in two months brought down nine
persons.
These, the court says. were charged
to Hyde partly to support a showing
that the more Swope heirs died the
larger would be the share OF Mrs
Hyde, Colonel Swope's daughter but
the court does not treat the proof
that Hyde had anything to do with
these misfortunes as conclusive.
The court points to the evidence
that Colonel Swope was eighty-two
years Of age and that symptoms Of
his last sickness would justify the
conclusion that he died from senlle
debility or uraemic poisoning.
In the appeal the chief evidence
attacked was that of the Chicago and
Michigan Psychologists who examined
the viscera Of the dead Swope.

he would get we'll and again be cam
didate for mayor of Cleveland, but
finally he saw his hope was futile and,
after bidding old friends and former
political associates farewell, he re-
signed himself to death.
Il am so tired. l wish l 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 fell
back exhausted. These letters go to
four of his best friends-keepsakes
from the man who gave his life for his
hobby. three-cent fare.
That Mr.. Johnson sacrificed his life
for his principles is certain He had
been ailing from cirrhosis of the liver
for years and was told by the physi-
clans that he must quit active work
for awhile and take treatment, but he
was in the midst of his fight for three
cent fare and refused to stop. Finally,
beaten in his fifth fight for mayor, he
yielded to illness and went to New
York for treatment but 1t was too late.
Cleveland people ride or their street
cars for three cents, but they have lost
the man who did more for the common
people than any other citizen.
