HE WAS ONCE VERY WEALTHY
Mayor ,of Cleveland, For Years
Credited With Possessing a Large
Fortune, Announces That He Has
Lost Everything and Will Be Com
pelled to Move Into Smaller and
Less Expensive ' Quarters. -
Cleveland, 0., Special. Mayor Tom
I. Johnson, who for years has been
accredited with possessing a very
large fortune announced that he
had lost everything and would be
-compelled to give up his beautiful
liome on Euclid avenue and move in
to smaller and less expensive quar
ters. The mayor also stated that he
would give up his automobiles and
-other luxuries, as he could no longer
afford to keep them. His fortune
was wrecked, the mayor declared, by
..his devotion to affairs of the estate
of his dead brother, Albert, who was
'lieavily interested in traction prop
erty in the East.
After Albert's death a question
was put up to him whether he should
: resign bis office as mayor and take
rup the management of Albert's es
tate. "I deeided that I would not. I had
entered the fight in this city with
certain ideals before me. I wanted
fto fight privilege and special interest,
;and I had already decided to give up
working for dollars. So I concluded
to stay right here and do what I
-could to help my brother's children
-at long istance.
, "Why did I choose the course 1
-did? I'll tell you. I wanted happi
ness and nothing else when I closed
up my business affairs and took up
-civis activity.
I've been happy, too.
jA'I'ni going to be happy yet, too.
We may have to go back to a cot-
-tage, but that's the way we started,
and we can look upon life just as
joyfully there as we did in ths big
house on Euclid avenue.
"They tell me my enemies are
planning to bring financial trouble
ipon me. I've been expecting it.
. "My enemies are cauable of doing
that. One may expect nothing else
Jjrom special privilege. Let them
make any sort of attack upon me
that they choose. I'll never give up
and they '31 always find me at the
front.
"If I br.d been a coward if I had
run awry fro mthis fight for the peo
ple of Cleveland I could have saved
my fortune and built it up. But I
had chosen my course. I haven't
teen laboring as mayor with the ex
pectation of being rewarded by the
-gratitude of the people. One cannot
count on that. It's pleasure in doing
work that I like that ha.5 kept me
in the fight.
"I have never mads a r ingle penny
cut of the street railways since I be
came mayor. I don't feci discourag
ed. I'm a free man, and that means
a exeat dcr.I to me. Don't you suj- i
poso it will be vcrth something to
Eie to Lave my friends realize that
I entered tin, user's office rich and
left it poor

FOR REVENUE ONLY
Andrew Carnegie Conies Out
For Tariff Revision
SAYS PROTFCTION NOT NEEDED
Iron Master, in a Notable Article in
December Issue of a Magazine,
Will Declare That Duties on Manu
factured Articles Should he Reduc
ed or Altogether Abolished, and
That Only the -Luxuries Used by
the Rich Should Bear a Duty.
New York, Special. A notable ar
ticle from Andrew Carnegie, dealing
with the tariff, will appear in the
forthcoming December number ' of
The Century Magazine, in which the
iron master takes the position that
"infant industries" no longer need
protection; that the steel and other
industries have now grown beyond
the need of tariff . protection ; that
duties on luxuries used by the rich
should be maintained, but that those
on manufactured articles should be
reduced greatly, or abolished entire
ly when no longer needed.
Mr. Carnegie's article is entitled
"My Experience With and Views
Upon the Tariff."
Mr. Carnegie says:
"We have already become by far
the greatest of all manufacturing na
tions. While the tariff as a whole
even today has ceased to be primar
ily beneficial as a measure of protec
tion, it has-become of vast import
ance from the standpoint of revenue,
and it is to this feature I bespeak tha
special attention of readers of all
parties, for duties upon imports, not
for protection, but for needed reve
nue, should not become a party ques
tion. Reasonable men of all parties
may be expected to approve this plan
of obtaining revenue."
He says : ' ' The American tariffs, in
happy "contrast to others, almost ex
empt the poor and heavily tax the
rich, just as it should, for it is they
who have the ability to pay as re
quired by the highest economic au
thority." Mr. Carnegie says of future tariff
legislation:
"The next Congress dealing with
the tariff will probably be inclined at
first to reduce duties all around and
perhaps to abolish some, but its first
care should be to maintain present
duties, and even in some cases to
increase them, until all articles used
almost exclusively by the rich, and
this not for protection, but for reve
nue, not drawn from the workers but
from the rich. That is the fir6t and
prime duty of Congress.
"Its second duty is to reduce du
ties greatly upon manufactui-ed ar
ticles and to abolish entirely those no
longer needed.

CONCERNING POULTRY DISEASES
I haven't much faith in poultry doc
toring. Fowls are naturally healthy,
and disease Is almost always the re
sult of neglect or carelessness. Roup
and cholera, the most serious poultry
diseases, come as the direct Tesult
Of filth and unsanitary conditions.
Lice and mites are sometimes the
starting point of disease. Fight them
constantly. Dampness should 'be
avoided, as it may prove a factor in
disease conditions. Crowding In
laying house or brooder is dangerous.
Avoid extremes of temperature and
rapid changes if you would guard
against bronchitis, and pneumonia.
Put not your faith in medicines.
Keep your fowl3 in a clean, com
fortable house, see that they get plen
ty of exercise in pure air and sun
shine, provide good wholesome food,
pure fresh water and grit, and they
won't need much doctoring. Country

New York, Special. Credit for ttei
creation of the Stanard Oil trust,!
which counsel for the Federal govern
ment claim still exists as the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey, was
given oy Jonn JJ. Kocfceteller as at
witness Tuesday under cross-examination
in the Federal ' suit to dis
solve the Standard, to two men
Henry M. Flagler and Samuel C. TL
Dodd. To these two master archi
tects of the oil combine, Mr. Rocke
feller gave foil credit, saying that. he
did not possess the ability for so pro
gressive a move.
Mr. - Rockefeller spent an arduous
doy an the stand under the incessant
questioning of Frank B. Kellogg, tha
government counsel, and when ad
journment was taken until Tuesday ha
gave every evidence of delight that
the day was done. Counsel hope to
conclude Mr. Rockefeller's cross
examination Tuesday, when it is ex
pected to place John D. Archbold,
vice president of the Standard on. the
stand.
Frank B. Kelloggj who with other
government investigators, has beer
endeavoring for over a year to obtain
the missing stock transfer books off
the Standard Oil trust, sought thro
Mr. Rockefeller to find the missing;
trail to these books and Mr. Rocke
feller promised . to do what he could
to find them. Mr. Rockefeller's ex
amination carried him through the
period of the Standard Oil trust and
the years of its subsequent liquida
tion, which lasted from 1892 to 1899.
Mr. Rockefeller's memory at times
was not clear on the definite details,
of this trust liquidation period and ha
told counsel that he could not recall
many of the incidents and develop
ments of that time. During the day
Mr. Kellogg developed from Mr
Rockefeller that early in the indus
trial existence of the Standard th
presidents of two railroad companies,
together with several railroad direc
tors, were stockholders in the oil com
bination. After adjournment Mr. Rockefeller
told an inquiring audience of report
ers that there were better things ii
the world than making money, and
since 1S91 he had been gradually re
tiring from business. He added:
"There is more important vork
than making money, and there is
much for me to do. I bfelong to th
Brotherhood of Man."
At the opening of the hearing Mr
Rockefeller said that he thought the.rs
was an increase in the stock of tLa.
Standard Oil Company of Ohio from.
$2,500,000 to $3,W0s00O in 3S75.
"How manv railroad mm did
take into the" Standard 'after 1S7Q1"
asked Mr. Kcllog.
"I could not. say," 'vas Mr. PocLs
feller's response.
"Was W. H. Vandertilt a stock
holder ?"
"I can't P3v definitely. He nvcht
have been a stockholder for a tri.3lr.g
amonnt. "
"Did you rot sgn a pap-r m.

"That may be; the paper wov.Iu fc

Mr. Rockefeller said that the vari
ous, companies in the Standard Oil;

1872 were managed as separate awl
independent corpoi-atkms. Mr. Rocke
fellar said that the total value of t'As.
