Jerry Simpson Dies After Pain

WARNED SIX MONTHS. AGO
Disease or the Heart Carries Off
Populist Leader, Who Lived
Down Nickname and "Won
Hearing in Congress.
WICHITA, Kan., Oct 23. Ex-Congressman
Jerry Simpson died at 6:03 o'clock
this morning at St. Francis Hospital, from
aneurism of the aorta. He had been hov
ering between life and death for ten days.
At the beside were Mrs. Simpson and
their only child, Lester Simpson, of Ros
well. N. M.
Mr. Simpson was conscious upto five
minutes before death. The end came with
out a struggle.
The ex-Congressman's last Illness began
at the time of his final campaign for
Congress. In spite of falling health ho
continued his business activity, working
as an agent for the Defreest-Draper Land
Company, of Chicago, and operating an
extensive ranch near Roswell. Six months
ago his condition became such that he
went to Chicago to consult a specialist,
who pronounced his malady hopeless.
From that time ho continued to grow
weaker until finally compelled to aban
don business. He was brought to the- hos
pital here September 2L
The Scottish Rite Consistory, of Wich
ita, of which Simpson has been a mem
ber, will have charge of the funeral.
Burial will take place in Wichita.
The funeral will be held in Wichita
Wednesday at Scottish Rite Temple.
The body will He In state from 1
until 5 o'clock Tuesday. It will be
a Scottish Rite funeral entirely. The
Blue Lodge of Medicine Lodge. Kan.,
will have charge of the services at
the grave. Interment will be In Maple
Grove Cemetery.
An autopsy over the body of Mr.
Simpson was held this morning. The
examination confirmed what the doc
tors had maintained that the trouble
was aneurism of the 'thoracic or as
cending aorta. This means that there
was an enormous distension of the
blood vessel leading from the heart.
When the National Livestock Associa
tion met in Portland a year ago last Jan
uary, the life of the meeting was Jerry
Simpson, of Roswell. N. M. At that
time there were mutterings of discontent
on the part of the stockyards Interests
and others that a year later resulted .In
division at Denver and, formation of the
American Stockgrowers' Association,
which would doubtless have taken place
at Portland but for the effervescent wit
and powerful logic of, the ex-Congressman.
Whenever therejvas any appearance of
the anticipated wave of warfare between
diverse interests of the industry, Jerry
Simpson "was ready to dissuade the ad
vocates from their purpose and thus w.hat
promised to be a lively convention fight
was averted. It Is singular that the
merging of the livestock men again Into
one body was accomplished and the re
port came almost simultaneously with
that of the demise of the man who more
than any other, with the exception of the
late Charles F. Martin, secretary and
founder of the National Association.
eradicated the differences between cattle
and sheepgrowers and united all under
one banner.
In this connection the true story of
how the distinguished Kansan gained the
sobriquet of "Sockless Jerry" Is apropos.
When Popullstlc political honors fell up
on his head' as a nominee for Congress,
Mr. Simpson was Marshal of Medicine
Lodge, for years one of the border towns
of the Southwest. Its bizarre character
had not entirely vanished and the job
was not exactly a sinecure, but the man
who. wore the star in the early "90s was
equal to the requirements. Just as he
proved himself a master In other avenues.
during the next decade.
Colonel Jim Hallowell, nominee of the
Ropublican party, was supposed to be
invincible. The "Big Seventh" District
was the largest in geographical scope of
any in the United States at that time.
embracing a stretch of Southern Kansas
large enough for an empire In the Old
World, and the Cities of Wichita, New
ton, Great Bend, Medicine Lodge and half
a dozen others. "Prince Hal" was the
sobriquet admiring partisans gave to the
Republican nominee, and, when a series
of joint debates had been arranged.
champions of both followed the leaders
over the district. In the course of a
speech Colonel Hallowell in his brilliant
manner heaped ridicule -upon his less dis
tinguished opponent and mode the asser
tion that Simpson did. not even wear
socks.
Appreciating the political value of the
reputation just at that time, Jerry Simp
son stepped to the wings of the stage
and quickly shoved the tops of his socks
down into his shoes, and when his turn
came to speak parried the jest of his
opponent by exhibiting ankles undelllod
by hosiery of aristocracy. From that
time he was "Sockless Jerry." whose
happy, simple life appealed to the Ponu-
llst vote with an overwhelming power
that tnrlec swept to defeat the stroncest
leaders of Kansas Republicans, among
mem cnester l. long, the present United
btates Senator.
While a member of Congress he accum
ulated a competence from his salarv. al
ways living sensibly and. modestly, al
though .knowing well how to live up to
xnc.Tsociai requirements of the position,
LIVED DOWN HIS XICKNA5EE
Simpson Won Respectful Hearing
for Populism in Congress.
WASHINGTON. Oct 23.-"Tho Sage of
Modlclne Lodge." as Jerry Simpson was
called, was. in every respect one of the
most unique characters which adorn the
histories of Congress. He was swept into
the B2d Congress by a wave of Kansas
Populism, charged with the task of re
forming the whole Government and living
down the only adance information his
colleagues had of his personality that he
wore no socks. The latter task he sue
ceded in accomplishing In fact, although
he never quite lost the title, "Sockless
Jerry.
His legislative accomplishments -consist
ed In turning popular Eastern sentiment
regarding Populism from scorning ridicule
to respectful consideration during his ser
vice of she years in tho 52d, 53d and 55th
Congresses, when he was swopt out by
another Kansas wave.
There was not a question of Congres
slonal action during that time on which
Jerry Simpson did not think, and on
which his conclusions were not strikingly
and entirely different from those from
anyone- else. His language and manner of
speech were quaint in tlie highest degree,
Jerry Simpson always tried to make his
adversaries look ridiculous, always threw
new light on every subject, made a per
sonal friend of every member of the
House, and, his political opponents de
clared. neevr changed a vote on any
question. As an entertainer and as a
personality, the iouse came to nave tne
warmest regara lor mm.

NEW YORK, Oct 23. A special to the
Tribune Irom Pittsburg says: Fred
Gwynncr, president of the defunct En
terprise National Bank, when asked to
day what the shortage of the Enterprise
would amount to, said:
"It will be very large; much larger. In
fact, than we first supposed. From what
I know now it will reach $1,500,000. None
of the directors or officers, not even my
self, had any idea that it would reach
such an enormous sum as that
"The directors have determined, bow-
ever, that no matter how great the
shortage, it will be paid, and the bank
reopened for business. We hope before a
month elapses it will be In operation and
will eventually hold up its head and oc
cupy the proud position that It formerly
commanded."

OFFER TO SHARE-PROFITS
Compromise Terms of Cotton Manu
facturers to Textile Workers.
FALL RIVER, Mass., Oct 23. The tex
tile situation here was more critical to
night than it has been at any time since
the great strike last January. The Man
ufacturers' Association, representing all
the print cloth mills In the city with the
exception of those controlled by M. C. D.
Borden of New York, this afternoon
voted to refuse the request of the Tex
tile Council for a dlreot restoration of
tho wage schedule which prevailed pre
vious to- the 12& per cent reduction of
July 25. ISOt
This action will be considered at a
special meeting of the Textile Council
tomorrow night, when it la probablo the
entire matter will be referred to special
meetings Wednesday evening of all the
unions represented In the Council. Many
of the business men fear that another
strike will be decided on by the unions.
The Association today considered a let
ter sent by the Textile Council, which
had rejected the manufacturers' propo
sition and requested that the full restor
ation be granted.
The plan of the Manufacturers" Asso
ciation provided for a direct Increase of
5 per cent and a profit-sharing arrange
ment, tho profits due to the employes to
be figured monthly on the market price
of cloth, which, however, must show at
least a margin over the cost of cotton of
75 cents per cut The present condition
of the market would net the employes
about 8 per cent which would make a
total Increase In wages of about 13 per
cent
The new schedule went into effect to
day and no srlke occurred, except at
the Barnard mills, where the ring thin
ners remained away. The ring spinning
room was shut down.
At the six mills of the Fall River Iron
Works, owned by Mr. Borden, the wage
scale of 1504 was restored In full.

HOW TO HELP PHILIPPINES
Ncwlands Proposes Improved Ma
chinery, Not Tnrlff Reduction.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct 23,-United
States Senator Ncwlands. of Nevada, who
returned today from a visit to the Phil
ippines, and the Orient. has made the
following statement regarding conditions
in the Philippines:
The Philippines are very attractive and the
people aw Interesting and capable of much
development. The commission Is conscien
tiously working out the problems of good
government with a single eye to the ad
vancement and prosperity of the Filipino
people. It retains the impress "Taft put
upon it when Governor-General and which
he emphasized In a series of speeches ex
ceptional In their strength and elevation of
character.
But the difficulties are great. The Philip
pines are passing through a depression per
haps unequaled In their experience, caused
by a succession of calamities the war. the
rinderpest, which destroyed their cariboo:
the surra, which destroyed their horses and
mules; the cholera, the locusts and the ty
phoons. The Islands are not prosperous and
the revenue Is not sufficient to accomplish
what the Government has set out to do.
The sugar and tobacco inteerats are Ian
guashlng. The suggestion of the adminis
tration Is to restore these by giving free
access to the United States markets for their
products. I am not convinced that this is
the best method. The sugar inddstry Is
suffering because of the calamities I have
mentioned and because of the primitive
methods ot production. Our tariff duty on
raw sugar. Which Is nearly 100 per cent, has
doubled the price of sugar to the consumers.
The Philippines can only get $00 per ton for
their sugar In the world's market, but tn our
markets with the duty off they can get $73
It Quiets
the Cough
This is one reason why Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral is so valuable in consump
tion. It stops the wear and tear of
useless coughing. But it does more
it controls the inflammation, quiets
the fever, soothes, heals. Ask your
doctor about it, and do as he says.
" Aya Cherry Pectoral has been a regular
life preeerrtr to me. It braagat me through
a severe attack of pneumonia, aad I feel
that I owe ay life to its woBderful car tire

per ton. Is tt best for us to subsidize the
Filipino sugar planters by giving them this
extra price at the expense of American tax
payers or would it be better to aid them In
securing through agricultural banks or oth
erwise the means of reforming their meth
ods so as to enable them to aecept the
world's price?
The commission is fully capable of carry
ing out this latter policy and I believe that
it would be much better to give the Philip
pines direct aid in the shape of a loan of our
credit for this purpose than to attempt the
method of giving them artificial and sub
sidized prices for their products. 1 think
that all are agreed In sustaining the policy
of the Philippines for the Filipinos by train
ing them in self-government and Industrial
pursuits. But I think much thought should
be given to the method of our aid.
