oldest Pennsylvania Railroad Of1ceri
Who Was Retired To-day
Morris Valentine Johnson, the Oldest
police officer in point of service ano
the oldest in age on the P~hiladelphla
division of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
retires to-day. officer Johnson who
resides at 1919 Berryhill street, has
an unbroken record of forty years as a
special officer.
Morris V. johnson was born near
Downingtown, Chester county, June
20, 1916. After graduating from the
Philadelphia high school at Broad and
Green streets, "Morry" johnson as he
was known, became a messenger for
the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad at Eleventh
and Market streets, Philadelphia. This
was during 1856, at the time cars
were pulled by mules from West Phil
adelphia to the freight depot which
stood where the John Wanamaker
store is now located.
For three years Johnson studied in
the evenings, and learned the trade OF
scroll worker during the day. Until
1863 he worked at one of the big
mills in Philadelphia. During March,
1863, he enlisted in the Ninety-ninth
Pennsylvania Volunteers and served
until the close of the war of the re-
bellion in 1865, when he again took
up his trade.
Early in 1875 Mr.. Johnson was APP
pointed a special officer and had
charge of the Junction road. He was
practically the first police officer APP
pointed to special duty on the Penn
sylvania Railroad system. From that
time up to the present, Mr.. Johnson
has been doing police duty on the
Philadelphia division. When he ask
ed for several assistants in 1870, it
was the origin of the police depart
ment on the Pennsy system. For
thirty years his home was at Bryn
Mawr, and Mr.. johnson was on duty
between that point and Philadelphia.
Here Seven Years
During the riots and strike in 1877,
Mr.. Johnson was detailed for duty
between New York and Pittsburgh,
and was in charge of a number of
officers. He returned to Bryn Mawr
and seven years ago was sent to Har-
risburg. Since that time Mr.. John
son has been on duty at the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad station in Harrisburg
where he has won much distinction
for his good work. He will be uc-
ceeded by August Haines, a former
member of the city police force.
Mr.. Johnson has decided to secure
a home heal Atlantic City, where with
Mrs. Johnson, who has been in poor
health, he will live a retired life. AS
soon as Mrs. Johnson improves, the
veteran officer with his wife, will visit
a daughter in Philadelphia. He will
go from there to Atlantic City.

going to Holland, to Belgium and most

they took passage. Their places at the
Paris hotels are being taken by

Change of Two Cents
in Chicago Markets
By Associated Press

Chicago, ILL.,, July 31.-At the OPEN
ing of the Board of Trade to-day first
sales of wheat showed changes of not
to exceed 2A cents as compared with
a variation of several cents at the
opening yesterday. The primary
changes were downward.
Prohibitive conditions in the export
trade were mainly responsible for the
weakness in wheat. Another powerful
influence was the fact that the Liver
pool market had receded from a wild
initial advance.
Fluctuations in corn were nearly as
wide as in wheat.
Declines in the wheat market
amounted to 6h cents before prices
began to react. The ensuing upturns
were approximately u.

Fred Loose Old Resident Of
Town of Somers Falls Dead
While Feeding Chickens.
EXPECTED DEATH FOR z YEARS

Frederick Loose, aged sixty years,
and a resident of the town of somers
for many years, dropped dead at the
home Of William Lauer, half mile
west Of Stetson s Corners, just after
four o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
Death is supposed to have been due to
hemorrhage Of the. stomach.
Loose had been seemingly in the
best of health and only few minutes
before death came he had talked with
members Of the Lauer family and had
been laughing and joking. stWell I'll
go out and feed the chickens, he said
and taking the feed from the house
he walked out to the chicken yard
Mrs. Lauer had watched him feeding
the chickens for little while and
then turned to her work about the
house. A minute later she looked out
and saw the old man lying on the
ground. She called some Of the men
and when they reached Loose he was
dead. The remains were brought to
the Hansen morgue late Wednesday
evening and Coroner Millager is max
ing an investigation into the case.
Loose had not made any complaint of
being i'll during the day and he had
been hard at work all day. When the
members of the Lauer household went
to his room in the evening they motto
ed number of small blood spots on
the pillow of his bed and it is thought
that these Indicated that he had suffer
ed from hemorrhage during Tues
day night.
Loose had been subject to hemorr-
hage Of the stomach for more than two
years and he had been brought to the
Kenosha hospital two years ago suf-
fering from this trouble At the time
physicians attending him had told him
that there was grave danger of his
death from hemorrhage.
Loose had come to the town of
Somers from Milwaukee many years
ago and no one ever knew anything in
regard to his family. It is known that
he had sister in Milwaukee to whom
he. was greatly attached. Loose was
an accommodating fellow, had worked
on many farms in the town of Somers
and was greatly beloved by the people
Of the town. He was known as a
great friend Of the little children Of
the town and after his work was over
it was common thing for him to
spend hours romping with the children
on farms where he was employed. Al
though he had known that he was suf-
fering from an incurable malady he
had repeatedly declared that he want.
ed to keep at work until the final
summons came.
Efforts are now being made to find
his sister in Milwaukee and no ar
rangements will be made for the
funeral until after she is located.
So far as is known Loose had
never married.
