Franklin Matthews
Drops Dead in Station

Franklin Matthews, fifty-ninc years
old, author, lecturer, professor in the
Columbia School Of journalism and,
above all, newspaper man, dropped dead
of apoplexy in the Pennsylvania station
yesterday morning. He was on the way
70 the university from his home in
Woodhaven, L. l., when stricken. He
died shortly after DR.. Brewster, OF the
station hospital, reached him. j,
Before he went to the school OF
journalism four years ago, where ne
taught news writing and copy reading.
Mr.. Matthews was night city editor OF
"The New York Times" and had behind
him far more experience than is often
gathered in a much longer life.
Born in st. Joseph, Mich, Mr.. Mat
thews, after his graduation from Cor
nell in 1883, began his newspaper
career on "The Philadelphia Press.
Later he came to The New York Sun"
as reporter and later editor. he was
correspondent in the Russo-Japanese
War and went around the world with
the battle feet in 1908.
He was a contributor to many maya
lines and the author of several books,
among them "The Newborn Cuba
with the Battle Fleet and "Our Navy
in Time of War" 90.
He married Mary Crosby in 1855.
A son. Crosby Matthews, and married
daughter survive him.
There was general sorrow at the
School of journalism when the deatn
of the teacher was announced;
meeting of the students was heiu' a'
which this resolution was adopted
"Franklin Matthews was our friend,
our comrade and our boss as he loved
to be called. He often said, My ideal
of teaching is that it should be by per.
sonal contact rather than by rules OF
pedagogy He was always willing to
help, advise and encourage. His work
here will remain, both for US and for
the school, lasting influence"

Jameson, Leader
OF Transvaal Raid,
Dies in 65th Year
He Devoted His Life to
Furthering British Rule
in South Africa

LONDON, Nov. 25.-The Right Hon.
oisble Sir Leander Starr jameson,
leader Of the Jameson raid in the
Transvaal shortly before the Boer War,
died to-day in his sixty-ffth year.
Next to Cecil Rhodes, DR.. Jameson,
as he was known during the adventur-
Gus years of his life, was most respon-
sible for the growth Of British power in
South Africa. For nearly twenty years
after his graduation from the Univer-
sity of London in 1877 he was an inti-
mate of the great Rhodes and shared
his dream of empire.
This dream was very nearly shattered
by the ill-advised raid. for which Jane
son will probably continue TO be known
long after his other achievements have
been forgotten.
Leander Starr Jameson was born in
Edinburgh, Scotland. In 1888 he went
to South Africa during the stampede to
the Kimberly da nond mines and there
met Cecil Rhodes.
The young Scotsman, under his pa
irons tutelage, soon became vitality
concerned in South African affairs.
II was he who induced the great chief
Lobengua of the Matabele to open up
his lands to the Rhodes South African

Company. which was prospecting Tor
gold. Gold was found in Mata6eieiand,
9nd shortly thereafter the native KING
rebelled against the influx of white men
end announced his determination oil
clearing them out of his territory.
DR.. Jameson had about 1000 men and
few machine guns, but in spite OF
Iobengula's $4,000 splendid warriors
he tefegraphed TO Rhodes, shall l
20 in?"
In reply Rhodes wired; "Read Luke
After some difficulty in obtaining a
Bible, Jameson read: "Or what KING
roing 10 make war against another
king, sitteth not down first and con.
eulteth whether he be able with lO;Voo
TO meet him that cometh against MN
with 20,OO0?"
Although the odds against him were
worse than those quoted in the Script
uIes, Jameson went IN.
He broke the power of Lobenguis
and was made, in recognition OF MS
daring, administrator OF Rhodesia.
Later Rhodes's dream Of unltication
Of South Africa brought about the Ia
nous Jameson raid. President Kruger
OF the Transvaal opposed the unitica'
ton plan, and jameson conceived tne
idea of an army of liberation, which
would be thrown into the Transvaal IN
conjunction with general uprising OF
all Engiishmen there.
On December 20. 1895, with 494 men
and three light field guns, he entered
the Transvaal. 1t was a rash, hot
headed move. and it brought about dis
aster. The little force was rounded up
At Krugersdorp by the Beers, and jaime
son and his officers were sentenced TO
be shot. Later they were turned over
to the British government, and jane
son was sentenced TO fifteen years i'm
prisonment.
The sentence was remitted to ten
months, and he did not serve all OF TINS
because of i'll health. After the Boer
War he returned to South Africa and
was elected Member for Kimberley.
When Rhodes died he was looked upon
as his logical successor as a wielder OF
influence.
In 1904 he was made Premier for
Cape Colony, and in 1907 was chosen
Privy Councillor. In 1911 he was Gre
ated a baronet.
