IND., Sept. 19.—Gov ernor Hiram Johnson, of California, who is on a tour of Indiana today, was greeted by a crowd of a thousand peo i pie here. The governor spoke briefly . on the new party, as expressed in the i platform adopted at Chicago in Au ' | gust, as a party whose duty was to I conserve human resources. He berated : the political Republican government as one which has forgotten that its chief asset was the people. No set of men ' like Pentose, Payne and Guggenheim have the right to transmute the minor ity of American citizens into a major ity, said the governor, and no set of ■ men have the right to nominate a pres- ■ ident of tin i'nited States who has been repudiated by the majority. That in August men and women with ■ a broad view met in Chicago to form a 1 new party as a government for red-’ piled men. women and children was emphasized by the speaker. This party chose as its leader the greatest two-hande’d fighter whose ! vor<l m er failsand the man who will ■ r,.cei\” n the hands of the people this p,p hat he lias faithfully won, and Theodoie Roosevelt will come into his own and will b. elected by an over whelming majority," concluded the governor amid a tumult of applause.

XEW YORK. Sept. IS.—Alfred! Gv. ynne Vanderbilt, suzerain of the much-moneyed house by virtue of his ; father's will, which nullit'ul the usual; operation of primogeniture, is keenly I awaiting two events. The first, one I that will bind him more closely to his charming bride, who was Mrs. Smith ; H .Ilins M.

' As soon after t'.ie birth of the child I ias the y oung mother s condition per mits. Mr. and M s. Vanderbilt will take passage for America, wiiete on t.icto ber 20 the former will celebrate his ' thirty-fifth birthday. On that day the young man will take rank'with the real financial giants' of America, for he will then automatically . ome into posses sion of a sum estimated at $25.000.u00 T.’js 1 >e young man. at the age of 3a y, a s. b t omes one of lite financial powers of the. country. In the course ; of his bi’ef career he has been twiei ‘ ma rled. His first wife was Elen' French Vanderbilt, by whom he had one child. . His marriage to Mrs. Mc- Kim took place last year. Provisions of the Will. This sum which he will get on Octo , ber 20 represents the half of Vander , hilt’s patrimony willed to him by his . father, Cornelius Vanderbilt. The sev t enteenth provision of the remarkable 1 document, in which the then head of . the powerful family of American mil . lionalres cut off his eldest son. Cor nelius. Jr., with a “paltry" $1,500,000. ■ read as follows: [ Seventeenth —All the rest, resi- [ due and remainder of the estate, including al! lapsed legacies and the principal of annuities, is given to the executors in trust, to hold and invest and reinvest and collect rents, incomes and profits for the use of his son. Alfred G.. and to pay to him the net income as re- , reived until he becomes 30. when I he is to come into possession of one-half of said estate, the in come of the balance to be paid to * him as before until he becomes 35, when he is to come into full pos- 1 session thereof. On October 20, 1907, A. G. Vander bilt came into possession of $25,000,000, the first half of his patrimony. He will, therefore, on October 20 next be com plete and outright master of $50,000,000, 1 together with his surplus income, which’ is estimated at several millions more. 1 Thus this smooth-faced, young Amer ican will possess a fortune approxi mating that of the Phippses, the Moores, the Reids, the Goulds and the Archbolds, whose fortunes range from , $50,000,000 to $150,000,000. Not in the First Rank. Mr. Vanderbilt's fortune, however, • can hardly be placed in the "stupen ) dous" class. According to figures re ’ cently compiled by Boston economics, the leading nine fortunes in America t rank as follows: John D. Rockefeller. . $1,000,000,000 Andrew' Carnegie 500,000,000 J. P.

SLAVER ESCAPES NOOSE:BLOCKED JAIL BREAK Governor Brown Commutes the Death Sentence of Negro for Heroic Conduct. Basing his action upon the ground of a reward for heroic conduct upott the pa i t of a convicted murderer await, ing execution. Governor Brown today commuted from death on the gallows to life imprisonment the sentence of John son Webb, a negro, to have been hang ed in Early county on Friday next. . in an executive order the governor tells how Webb probably saved the life of his jailer and several of the depu ties. and certainly served to keep with in the custody of the state not less than fifteen desperate criminals plan ning to escape The governor particularly stresses the duty of recognizing the good work ot all persons who help in the enforce ment of the law. and makes it mani fest that he will reward, "as the inter ests of society will admit as being proper and just,” all such persons. Good Conduct Saves Negro's Life. The order of commutation sets forth certain of Governor Bro-wn's views on executive clemency significantly and interestingly. The governor touches lightly upon one other phase of the ease, but ha makes It plain that Webb owes his commutation to his good conduct, in grave circumstances, and not particu larly to anything else. The order, among other things. say»; In the enforcement of the laws of this state, it must be made clear that not only will law-abiding citi zens be protected, but that each person aiding in the enforcement of the laws will receive such re ward as the interests of society will admit as being proper and just. The hope of this reward should not be denied even to convicts who are under sentences and who, as in this case, aid in protecting the lives and officers of the law, or otherwise preventing crime. Reprieved at Eleventh Hour. Webb was to have been banged two weeks afgo, but the governor, at th* eleventh hour, decided to reprieve him for fourteen days, upon a shelving that there was much to show: in favor ot i commutation that had not been shown. Colonel Jesse Perry, the governor’s private secretary, had quite an excit ing time getting the message of re , prteve through to Early county in time to head off the hanging, only placing the order in the sheriff’s hands an hour before sentence was to have been car ried out. Webb was convicted of killing an other negro in a fight, and the jury try ing him petitioned the governor to ex tend clemency, inasmuch as there may have been a doubt that the negro was guilty of deliberate and malicious mur der.
