JACK LONDON'S
SUDDEN DEATH
(Continued from page 1.)
ho spent a considerable time In
Hawaii where he meant to live part
of each year and write, but death In
terfered with his plans.
&jg§ London was married twice. His
W* first wife who was the mother of his
two
1
daughters, Bess and Joan, vas
as$T divorced ten years ago. She was
V,greatly shocked today when informed
•f of her former husband's death. Sev
't oral years ago Liondon married
again, his wife being the 'KJharmton"
of his bookB.
fl Income Was Larpe.
SANTA ROSA, Calif., Nov. 23.—
Jack London was rapidly becoming
rich when he died. For severar years
his work had been in great demand
and publishers were paying him as
high as ten cents a word, it is eeti
mated that his income from his writ
ings alone has been at least $40,000 .a
year for several years and this does
not include moving picture and other
rights.
London spent large sums on his
Glen EJllen ranch and he often made
the remark that he had to write
stories to pay the expenses of «iis
farm.
Will Cremate body.
i- SANTVA ROSA, Ca'.if., Nov. 23.—
Without ceremony of any kind the
body of Jack London, novelist and ad
venturer, will be cremated at noon to
,morrow at the Oakland crematory.
No minister or priest will prononuce
a benediction, no prayers will be said,
no choir will sing a requiem.
Believing that death ends all and
JS that there is no hereafter, London
often said that when he died he4vish
ed to be cremated and burled without
ostentation. His wishes will be car
ried out. Only his wife, daughters and
sister will accompany Ihe body to the
_. crematory. His mother. Mrs. Flora
London, is seriously ill in her Oakland
r.: home and has ribt yet been informed of
i:--* her son's death.
London's secretary today stated the
novelist's income from his writings at
xthe
time of death averaged about
twenty cents a word. He habitually
wrote 1.000 words' a day anil this woul,,
make his annual income from new lit
erary work about $73,000 a year.
So far a3 the secretary kDows, Lon
don's only finished work which have
riot been published are two novels, two
short dog stories and several Hawaiian
Btories. Arrangements for publication
of Apse have not been concluded. At
the time of his death London was
working on a novel of Hawaiian life
called "Cherry," which was well ad
vanced. It is understood Mrs. Loudon
either will complete the novel herself
or will engage some other writer to
complete it.
Tfhe novelist^ five year contract
with eastern publishers would have
expired next year. Recently a repre
eentative of an eastern company«was
at Glen Kllen to induce London to re
new his contract and London had pur
l-chased railway tickets and arranged,
~tlto leave San' Francisco next Wedne*
.day for New York to discuss the mat-
1
ter. He expected to return to Glenn
'Ellen in February when he hoped to
he able to visit either Japan or Nor
way—he was undecided which.
ORDERED TO
KILL BY GHOST
(Continued rrcm page 1.1
a fortnight after Moore and seven
others were hacked to death by an
ax fiend in July, 1912. The lawyers
were arguing the point when the
noon recess was taken. Mrs. Willard,
whose testimony that McCall and
Jones were members of a grcAip she
overheard discussing Moore threat
eningly before the murder, still con
fronts the plaintiff, made a sad show
ing on cross examination by Beeson
today.
He forced an admission from her
that she visited his office last week.
Beeson claimed it was to spy on him,
which she denied, saying she enter
ed his office by mistake. When she
failed to describe Beeson's office In
detail, he thundered at her:
"And yet you claim to remember
distinctly the conversation and the
men present at that alleged night
meeting before the murder over four
years ago?"
