Ex-Governor of Bay State
and Former Secretary
of the Navy
HAD FINE AND
HONORABLE CAREER
Veteran Lawyer and Public
Servant Dead After a
Three Days Illness

Boston, Aug 30.--John d. Long, former
secretary of the navy and former gov
ernor of Massachusetts,, died at his home
at bingham Saturday night. Mr.. Longs
death was generally unexpected. He re-
turned from trip from Maine two days
ago suffering from an intestinal trouble
with which he had been afflicted for sew,
eral years. He was ordered to rest by
his physician, but reports that his con
diton was critical were denied.
| Suffering an attack of angina pectoris
in Buckfleld, Me-, his birthplace, the for
mer governor was hurried to bingham
Thursday evening and uraemia developed.
Although confined to his bed and attend.
ed by DR.. c. o. Day, his family physician,
he showed considerable improvement Fri
day. That night he became worse and
although he was practically unconscious
all Saturday his sudden death came as a
shock. He was rs years old His wife;
Pierce Long, his son, and Miss Bertha
Pierce, his sister in-law, were at his bed
side when he died.
One Of the great citizens of Massachu
sets passes in the death of John ID. Long
at the age OF rs. II is nearly 40 years
since his selection as speaker of the
House of Representatives, and more than
80 years since he became governor of the
commonwealth, having been elected by
one of the most hattering majorities ever
accorded a candidate for that Office. He
II Il
then six years in Congress, declining re-
election in order to devote himself to his
profession. This may be regarded as
the first of the two distinct periods OF his
public service.
II was Pres. Mckinley who persuaded
Gov" Long, as he was always affection
ately called, 10 re-enter public life. In
the cabinet that assembled in 1897 the
Massachusetts man took the seat as sec
rotary of the navy, a post which be filled
with distinguished ability. He would
have doubtless been the vice presidential
candidate of his party in the following
campaign had not his part in the Samp-
son.Schley controversy so alienated the
Maryland Republicans that they, through
Felix Agnus of the Baltimore American,
threatened 10 bolt The ticket if he should
be nominated. Mr.. Long himself joined
in declaring his own selection in these
circumstances inexpedient. Mr. Roose
welt was finally drafted for the post,
with results that have been historic.
Gov Long was one Of I! most graceful
public speakers in Massachusetts,. He
had adorned countless occasions, and of
great variety. He was one Of the most
scholarly of our public men, translsting
the Eneid OF Virgil during his year of
service as lieutenant governor of the
commonwealth. He was lifelong total
sbstainer and an advocate of advanced
temperance legislation. He was a won
an suffragist. He was greatly interested
in the peace cause, even though events
made him a naval secretary during
foreign war.

FRANKS LYNCHING
TOWN BARS SPIES
Strangers Are Being Expelled and the
Police Force Is Being
Increased.

Marietta, Ca, Aug. 30.--The citizens OF
this place have placed ban on inquisl'
tive strangers since the lynching OF Lee
NJ. Frank. Guards are on duty and close
watch is kept on all newcomers. II the
actions of persons arriving prove sus'
picious they arc quietly informed OF the
hour when the next train leaves.
Eight men whose conduct aroused sus-
picon and who did not give satisfactory
explanations of their presence here were
rounded up late Friday night, placed in
box car of a freight tram about to
leave and sent away. No arrangements,
as far as could be learned had bcen made
with the railroad to transport these per-
sons out OF town, but the car was guard
ed until the train left the town limits.
Since Frank was lynched here on Aug.
IL several persons whose business in the
town was not known nave been invited
to leave. Five men who had the appear
ance of laborers and said they were seek
ing employment here were ordered away
Friday. They could not be found yes
terday. In the opinion of the police they
did not seem to make a serious attempt
to get work.
The eight men sent away Friday night
also appeared to be laborers. The contin-
ual receipt of letters threatening ven
geance on Marietta because of the lynch
ing of Frank has caused the city authori-
ties to add Is men to The police force.
Letters are being received from all
parts of the country by town and Cobb
county officials and by persons who have
given interviews on the Frank case to
newspapers published outside the state

GEOLOGIC PERIODS.
Stories Of Time Told by FossiIized
Plants and Animals.

Stories Of Time Told by FossiIized
Plants and Animals.
Scientists hesitate 10 estimate geo.
logical time In terms OF years. Such
estimates have, however, been made.
and one published by Professor Charles
Schuchert In 1910 states that about
100000 years have elapsed since tho
close OF the carboniferous age. an age.
as the name suggests, In which great
deposits OF carbon. in coal. were being
formed In many parts OF the world.
This age has been divided by geolo-
gists into the Mississipplan. PennsyF
yanian and Permlan epochs, OF which
the Mississippian is the oldest and the
Permian the youngest The Pennsyl-
vanian epoch alone Is estimated by
schuchert to have covered 100000
years. and animal life is supposed TO
have existed on the earth for over IA
100000 years before that time.
Geologic periods are recognized pri-
marily by the animals and plants that
lived in them. so that the study OF
fossils plays a very real and important
part in the progress OF geologic knowl-
edge.
Rocks OF carboniferous age, as shown
by their fossils. have a wide distribu-
ton in the United states. and they
are apt TO abound in these remains OF
plant and animal lie The fossil shells
which are found In them. however.
may vary greatly from point TO point,
because the animals they represent
lived in different periods OF geologic
time or IN different regions IN the car
