Story of Act Reaches Coast,
Where Cousin Made Her Heir.

New Brunswick, " j.. April 3.-For
once the pointed morals which adorn
the tales on the shelves OF Sabbath
school libraries have been upheld.
Honesty is at times the best policy,
and Miss Ethel Adele Wood can prove
II. People called her prescriptions
when she returned TO the Board Of Ed
ucation 5000 which she felt she didn't
earn. Now they're calling her lucky
since she realized $4,000 by her in
yestment.
The Board Of Education was paying
Miss Woods expenses IN training
school for teachers Of defective chill
dren. She left to take another posi-
ton. and returned 10 the board the
price Of her instruction. Such unusual
honesty was featured in the New
Brunswick papers. One Of these no
one knows how. reached the Pacific
Coast. Yesterday a letter from Los
Angeles informed the upright girl that
She was heir 20 $4,000 through the
death OF her cousin, William Is.

The members Of the Women's City

to more than $1,000. 20 four hundred
members, and in two weeks all but one
was paid-a bill for sf35.
II don't want 70 post that one name,
Mrs. Deane protested to the board OF
directors when they called her atten-
ton TO it. But she finally yielded and
posted the name. Within half an hour
it had disappeared. No one knew WIZ
or how the delinquent could have hur-
ried into town and paid bill in that
short time. The mystery was solved
yesterday By Mrs. Deane.
My instinct not TO post that name
was right" she said. mo sooner had !
put il up than dozen women came
running 10 me. saying Take her name
down quick. She has just had baby,
and of course she can't pay a club

stay down
Tho members were delighted yester-
day.

"They laughed at the idea of our max

paid their bills. Well show 'em,"

CITY officials who were asked 70 avert II:
For the contractors, Mr.. Crane said
they were notified month ago that
the union had decided that the prevail
ing rate Of wages should be increased.
"The law provides that VIC pay the
rate paid by the majority OF employers
in the same industry. Some unskilled
laborers have been getting easy money
shovelling snow. They might be worth
81 dav in ammunition factory, but they
are not worth any more TO subway con-
tractors"
The strike is an effort 10 organize
the unskiled laborers, Sir. Crane as
serted. He would not concede that
other organized trades were in sym,
patty with the walk-out, but estimated
the number Of strikers AZ 1000.
Officers Of the contracting companies
reported that the strikers had quit
quietly early yesterday morning and
that there had been another exodus
from the excavations when the night
shift went into effect at $3.50 ?. m.
Plans for continuation OF the strike
were discussed last night at the union
headquarters by the executive council.

JOHNSON HAD BIG
LEAD OVER BOOTH

San Francisco, Aug. 3l,--Govornor
Johnson's majority over Wills Booth
for the republican nomination for
United States senator will be very
close TO 10000. according to almost
complete returns from all sections OF
the state available early TO-DAY.
These covered 81 per cent OF all the
SAB precincts In the state. With on
ly AIS precincts missing. Johnson's
total vote was ISL 1892, against l33,-
352 for Booth, plurality for the
progressive Johnson OF more than
5000.
With the republican "Old Guard
leaders conceding the victory Of
Johnson. speculation centered today
on the probable effect OF the primaries
on the republican and progressive
party conventions to be held In Sacra-
mento September 10. On that date
the present republican state central
committee. which frankly opposed
Governor Johnson's candidacy. Will
go out OF power.
Backers OF Governor Johnson de-
clare that the governor will be able
to dominate wholly the coming repub-
lican convention, dictate the plat
form Of principles to be adopted then,
and also name almost the entire per-
sonnet OF the new republican state
committee to be chosen at that time.
II Johnson does name the COM
mittee, "Old Guard" leaders do not
believe the "standpatter" will be rep
resented on II. There Is also consider
able speculation az to whether John.
son will ask the progressive conven-
tion to endorse Charles 70. Hughes
for president When he announced
his own personal support for Hughes,
Johnson said he would only ask other
progressives to vote for whatever can
didate for president they preferred,
William II. Crocker, republican ma
tional committeeman, whom Govern
or Johnson has been attacking during
his primary campaign, announced to-
day that he would support Johnson
and do all in his power to aid in the
governors election.
