CLEVELAND, O., April 11 In
honor of Tom L. JohiiKon, famoiiH
former mayor of Cleveland, who is
duad hero, arrangement wore com
pleted today by which all buslm-sB
will he suspended during his funoial,
which probably will bo followed by a
great memorial boi vice. The body
will bo taken by train to Hrooldyn,
N. Y., whero it will bo bmied In
Greenwood cemetery.
Prominent men from all over the
nation are today flooding .lohiiHon'H
family with telegrams f condolence,
and many messages aro coming from
unions and sociological workers who
admired the coiiHtaney with which
Johnson Btuck to IiIh single tax and
municipal ownership Ideas.
KHtlmates today are that .IoIiiiboii'h
ostato will be found to bo worth less
than ?100,000. When he was first
elected mayor of Clovolaml JohiiHon
waH worth mlllloiiB. .Most of this he
expended In IiIb long fight to munici
palize the Htrcet rallroadB and (o ob
tnli 3-rent fareH.
Tow j. .lohiiBon, who had hern In
ill health slnco ho retired hb mayor
of Cleveland on January 1, 1910, will
probably- bo known in all future
Amerlman municipal history aw the
mayor of tho "boHt govrnod city In
the United States" and iib the father
of tho three-cent railway fare In
Amorlca. Ho wiib born In nine
Spring, Ky., July 18, 1851. 1Mb fath
er Genoral William JoIhihou, a fa
motiB Kentucky legislator, lost his
fortune in the civil wan and at IK
young Johnson wnB thrown on his
own resources. Ho promptly secur
ed a Job as a horso car driver on the
Btrcots of Loulsvlllo and began learn
ing tho husluess in which ho later
made famo and fortune. .lohiiBon
served later aB chief of pollco of Lou
isville, but soon became Intereated
financially In tho street car system
of Indianapolis, Cleveland, Detroit
and Hrooklyn. Patents on varloiiB
street car nppliauccH helped him
along financially and inado him an
authority on atroot railway matters,
Ho was practically at the height of
a moat successful career as a streot
railway magnate when In 1S8S ho re
tired from bualnesH to carry out cher
ished ideas of social reforms, among
which was that of becoming tho fath
er of three-cent streot railway fare
in America. Tills Idea had been Im
parted to him by Henry George,
wheat! Influence over Johnson's en
tire life dated from tho time when
on a railway train Johnson bought a
copy of George's "Social Problems."
Later tho two became fast friends
and worked together at carrying out
of varloiiB roforms.
On George's advice Johnson en
tered politics, running first for con
gress, but being defeated In bin first
race when ho campaigned on the free
trade Issue. Later he wan elected,
nerving two terms, from ISUO to
18!M. Here Is one of his most note
worthy achievements, the ruse by
which ho forced tho printing of the
entire (e.t of Henry George's "Pro
tection of Free Trade," Into tho con
groMlonul record and Its free distri
bution to tho entire country.
Johnson was defeated In the re
puhlloun landslide of 1SIM, but In
11101 was elected mayor of Cleveland
and began his real life's work of
establishing the thrue-ceut street enr
faiu. for years be Kept up tho fight,
and Hi a result Cleveland today still
htm a thiee-cent street car faro, al
though not under exactly the condi
tions ho had hoped for. Ills vniious
tonus as mayor wore marked by u
continual fight against special priv
ilege, with the resuli that he quick
ly won tho tltlo of ".Mayor of the
host governed city In the United
Statos." in lUOa he run for gov
ornor and wax defeated, but whs
promptly re-elected mayor again lu
lilOfi, meeting final defeat, however,
In 1010.

I he death of Tom L. .lolinspn is a
fieai loss to real domocracy," said
William J. Hryan today. "Johnson
was one of tho noblest spirits with
whom I havo been privileged to as
"oclate. Unselfish Interest In pub
lic qui stloiiB and untiring zeal in his
efforts to secure remedial legislation
put him in tho rront rank of public
men. Ilia life will continue to be an
Inspiration for generations."
At lee Pomeren, tho new democrat
ic United Stales senator from Ohio,
paid a high tribute to Johnson.
"Johnson did more to bring about
municipal reforms than tho mayors
or any of the largest cities," said
Pomeren. "He sacrificed ills fortune
and his health to the public welfare,
and I do not believe I exaggerate
when I say he gave his life to benefit
the public as truly as any man over
killed In battle."

KLAMATH FALLS, April 11. A
news Item has been going the rounds
of tho press for some tlmo to the
effect that a man In Tarrytown, N.
Y., had won a wager of $5000 because
his HI) hens had laid 1000 oggB in
February, or an average of 17 eggs
per Iiu.ii for tho month. Harry Caden
of this city lias done better than that
tho past mouth with ordinary Klam
ath county hens, having received -Till
eggs from in hens, six of them pul
lets, and not beginning to lay until
after the I list week of the inionth
was gone, and one lieu setting last
week, making an average of over IS
for hens In laying condition.
No effort was made to forco the
laying, except to have It healthy and
normal, the secret being simply to
give the hens a square deal lu the
matter of feed, water, housing and
grit. Caden commenced experiment
ing eight mouths ago with six bens,
and now gives the result of this per
