Who Is Who Now JOHNSON’S CASTOR IS IN THE RING Senator Hiram Johnaon of Cali fornia. running mate of Theodora Roosevelt on the Progressive ticket In 1812, haa formally announced hlmaelf u candidate for the Republican nomi nation for president In the 1920 cam paign. Hla friends let It be known that considerable work on behalf of the Johnson candidacy has been going on guletly In the far West for a longnme, and they predicted he would be able' to go Into the Republican convention at Chicago next June with a fonultl ’ able array of delegates. Senator Johnson's statement an nouncing his candidacy fairly bristled with defiance of the Republcan organ ization. He made It clear he Is going Into the campaign for the nomination free and Independent of all so-called “organisation aid” and that he Is de termined to carry "the fight Into every state where his name can be brought before the voters in a direct primary. Among the senator's platform planks will be unalterable and unequivocal opposition to the entire treaty of peace, withdrawal of the American troops from Siberia and other remote corners of the earth, maintenance of the right of free speech, a general reussertion of the principles of the Progressive platform in 1912, and a declaration of Itpose veltlan Americanism with no foreign entanglements. BURROUGHS: OLD-TIME NATURALIST roughs’ way: If It doesn't happen at Slabsldes he's Inclined to think there ain't no such anlmlle. * Really It Is too bad that John Burroughs didn't stay longer and give a lecture. He has many admirers even in smoky, noisy, dirty, commercial Chi cago. Then, too, he's one of those rare authors whose personality corresponds to his books. There are many nature lovers who prefer the "reason" school to Mr. Burroughs' "Instinct" school, hut even they have a fondness for Bur roughs the man. WE MUST GROW INTO SHIP HABIT John Barton Payne, chairman of the United States shipping board, in a statement to the Southern Commercial congress, said in part: My conclusion is, it is not possible to have a successful American mer chant marine until the country grows into the ship habit. The American newspapers and magazines must arouse the thinking men among manu facturers, investment bankers, farm ers, and labor to the necessity for a merchant marine. The congress is giving the matter close attention, and besides the Greene bill should pass a mortgage bill sub stantially like the one now before the merchant marine and fisheries com mittee, to guarantee Investors a lien for tho purchase price of the ships which will, in financial circles, have as much value as a railroad mortgage, and investment bankers and the public may freely invest in ship securities. American insurance is essential that we be not dependent on foreign com panies for ship insurance, as we are pow. To accomplish this great task all Americans of all classes must pull to gether. The tales of the sea must become the gossip of the nursery and of the fireside. GARFIELD AND THE COAL SITUATION 14 ptr cent wage Increase as fair for the miners and possible to be paid from present profits of mine owners. Doctor Garfield suggested a commission repre sentative of the Industry to review the findings, but expressed tbe conviction that such a body should not have power to fix prices. His belief Is said to bs that with this power granted a combination of the employer and employee la the Industry to mulct the public by .price raises Is certain to result. Old John Burroughs—his beard is long and white these .days—migrated across the country the other day from Slabsides to Pasadena. Of course he had to change trains at Chicago, and a large group of his admirers met him at a dinner In a North Shore hotel —the dinner being spread in a sunken gar den, surrounded by u wood and wanned by a log fire. And what do you think? The old fellow boasted that he had never drank coffee or smoked. Now a good many good people believe that the man who has never drank strong, black, hot coffee right off the campflre has missed something. He may live, six months or a year longer, but it isn't worth the price. And the man who can't light up a fine, ripe, Missouri meerschaum in the woods and find it the crowning touch of the wilderness feats —why, there’s something the mat ter with him. But that’s John Bur- The circumstances of the resigna tion of Dr. Harry A. Garfield, fuel ad ministrator, are likely to keep him in the public eye for some time for the reason that he is understood to believe that the work of the commission au thorised under the settlements to be made up of one coal mine operator, a coal miner and a third person named to represent the public, will result In an increase In the price ef coal to the consuming public. To this form of settlement Doc tor Garfield has been unalterably op posed. It has been learned on good authority that he took no part In the negotiation with the mine ■workers’ union chief, and that though informed and consulted after their initiation the terms laid out us finally accepted con travene his conception of the main principle involved.

The mother and her iron, Albert Thompson; UO, slibwcd-the police about the house aiid a thorough search failed to reveal the hunted man. The mother, according to tin* police, was insistent that her boy was out of town. The officers asked to see the base ment and their request was complied with, three of them —Harry, Boggio and Ghuvwn —inspecting the quarters. Meanwhile S, hnelder had stumltfed upon a blind stairway leading to an attic. Without calling the »other of ficers he mounted tin? stairs and be gan a search of a small rmim at the sop, using his searchlight to penetrate the darkness. _ Suddenly he felt a revolver thrust at his side and heard the words, “You’ve got me. I know 1 am u goner, hut so are you—March!” With tills the per son instructed Schneider to enter a small room and as he did so the of ficer quickly slummed the door shut with his foot, leaving tlie gunman on the outside. The other three policemen failing to find any trace of Thompson*in the hnsement and thinking perhaps that the mother was truthful- about her son’s absence, prepared to leave tl»q house, expecting to find Schneider waiting outside. Then they heard the the muffled cry, “Look out, Sarge! lie’s got me!” Instantly the thought that Schneider was being held at pistol |»olnt in shine unknown recess of the house dawned on the three and they started back in side. Cliuven was the first to enter the kitchen, into which the door to the attic opened. His progress was barred by Mrs. Thompson, who, armed with a heavy iron bar, began to beat him about the lieud. Then Boggio entered the kitchen. At the top of the small stairs Thompson, gun in hand, crouched waiting.for the door to open as his signal to open fire. Boggio opened the door and stepjied inside. As lie put ids foot oil the first step lie was met by a volley of shots. Sergeant Barry, leaving Cliuven to at tend to Mrs. Thompson and her son, Albert Thompson, dashyd through the narrow door just in time to see Boggio fall. Then Barry fired, and Schneider, hearing the shots directed at Boggio, released himself, lie could discern the gunman', a dim' form in the darkness, crouching at the top of the stairs. Thompson returned a shot at Barry, the bullet striking him in the hip. Sim ultaneously, both Schneider and Barry emptied their guns at Thompson, who ■crumpled in a- heap. i - - Sun Fall, One Day.
