Condition of Minnesota Gov
ernor Still Critical.
DOCTORS HOPE FOR BEST
Distinguished Patient Ratliaa Pimm
Sinking Spell, but His Vitality Is
So Low That Another May Ter
minate Fatally—Considered to Have
a Fair Fighting Chance for His Life.
Rochester, Minn., Sept. 20.—It has
been a day of terrible anxiety for the
watchers about the bedside of Min
nesota's governor. The first news of
the day came at 7:30 a. m. in the
shape of a bulletin Issued by House
Physician Charles P. McNevin. Dr.
McNevin said that at that hour tin
governor's pulse was 105 and his tem
perature 99.2.
The governor had been getting
snatches of sleep since midnight, after
his rally from the sinking spell which
almost caused his death, but,at 7 he
was wide awake and somewhat anx
ious about what the day might bring
forth. He realized his desperate con
dition keenly.
As the day progreesed there was
little change in the governor's condi
tion. The patient passed the seventy
two-hour crisis safely and this gave
his physicians some hope for his re
covery.
Physicians Are Anxious.
Shortly after noon, when the noon
bulletin was issued at St. Mary's hos
pital, Dr. McNevin, who had snatch'd
a few hours of sleep, returned to his
watch beside the governor's bed. None
of the doctors is saving anything for
publication about the progress of tlv
governor's case, but at midday they
were all anxious about what the even
ing and night may bring. If the gov
ernor should have another sinking
Bpell, or another attack of vomiting,
none of the physicians here believe
that he could survive It.
When Dr. Mayo was asked what
the chances were for the governor to
live throughout the coming night he
replied. "We cannot look Into the fu
ture in this case."
It is the general opinion that the
governor's life now hsngs in the bnl
ance. He has just a fair flghtii
chance. If he has another sinking
spell it is deemed almost certain that
he will not live through it.
SENDS MESSAGE OF WELCOME

ALLEGED TAMPERING
WITH JURY LISTS
Warrants Issued (or Arrest ot
Several Chicagoans.
Chicago, Sept. 20.—Bench warrants
were issued by Judge Jesse A. Bald
win of the circuit court for John J.
Holland, member and secretary of the
Cook county jury commission Nich
olas A. Martin, secretary to Alderman
Kenna of the First ward, and Willis
J. Rayburn, a real estate man. The
charge against the three is that they
conspired to draw names of grand
jurors in a manner other than that
required by law.
Coming at the height of the trial of
Inspector McCann for alleged grafting
the news of this action, based on al
leged tampering with the jury lists,
caused great excitement in legal and
political circles. The complaints on
which the warrants were issued were
drawn up by a special agent of the
state's attorney who has been investi
gating the jury drawing methods for
weeks.
When the warrants were Issued
subpoenas were also sent out from
the court for the production of all
records, documents and papers of the
Jury commission, which will be In
spected In search of evidence against
the accused men.

St Paul, Sept. 20.—Glorious weather
and big crowds greeted President Taft
on his visit to the Twin Cities. As
his train passed through St. Paul to
Minneapolis, where the first stop was
made, a presidential salute of twenty
one guns was given by Battery A,
Minnesota national guard.
When his special train reached Min
neapolis President Taft was welcomed
by the Joint reception committee of
both cities and escorted to the Min
neapolis club, where breakfast was
served. Word of Governor Johnson's
desperate condition cast a gloom over
the entire party, visitors and mem
bers of the local entertainment com
mittees alike. The question immedi
ately arose whether the programme of
entertainment should be carried out
as planned. It was finally decided to
I keep in close touch with Rochester
and to abandon the programme should
the governor's illness terminate fa

I Following breakfast am taformal re
ception was held, when the president
met the various committees of
Uk-
Twin Cities. At 10 o'clock he wa
taken on an automobile tour to S!
Paul by way of Minnehaha Falls and
Fort Snelling.
After reviewing the garrison at Fort
Snelling the president was met by the
St. Paul committee and escorted
through the city by way of the River
drive and Summit avenue to the Audi
torium for the luncheon.
At 2:15 the Auditorium was thrown
open to the public, following which
Presideut Taft made a brief address
Owing to the critical illness of Gov
ernor Johnson the proposed public re
ception at the state capitol was aban
doned. The building was closed to
the public and only the presidential
party permitted to enter.
At 4:30 the president returned to
Minneapolis and was the guest of the
Minneapolis club. At 8 o'clock he was
tendered a banquet at the Auditorium
by the commercial interests of the
Twin Cities.
TAFT PRAISES PAYNE BILL
K to the Best Tariff Measure the Coun
try Ever Had.
Winona, Minn., Sept. 20.—In the
most important utterance he has made
since his occupancy of the White
House President Taft here, in a state
which is the hotbed of the "insurgent"
movement within the Republican
party, defended the Payne tarifl bill
as the best tariff measure ever passed
by a Republican congress and hence
the best tariff bill the people have
ever known.
The president boldly asserted that
the insurgents who voted against the
bill had abandoned the Republican
party.
"Was it the duty of the member of
congress who believed that the bill
did not accomplish everything that it
ought to accomplish, to vote agains*
it?" asked the president.
"I am here to juatify those who an
swer this question in the negative. I
am not here to defend those who voted
for the Payne bill, but to support
them.
"All I have to say in respect to Mr.
Tawney's action in voting for the bill
and my action in signing It. is that I
believed that the interests of the
country, the interests of the party, re
quired me to sacrifice the accomplish
ment of certain tilings in the revision
of the tariff which I had hoped for in
order to obtain party solidarity, which
I believed more important than the
reduction of rates in one or two sched
ules of the tariff."

a pledge against hazing. The upp
classmen refused to sign, even the
girls revolting. The faculty having
decided that no student might enter
the college who did not sign the
pledge a serious situation presented
itself.
