months of the civil war, for at that time
it seemed that he was the coming great
general, and many continued to believe

in that section and never lost battle.
He was born April 10, 1907, in New
Hampton, N. H., and in 1926 joined his
brother at Wheeling, Va. He took q

ten a letter in answer to an invita-,

Meeting called for Feb. II, by the
Reform Club to oppose the passage
of the silver bill taking strong
grounds against free coinage. The
letter was read to some 600 or 700
representatives of Wall street ideas,
in which he said: at should not
be necessary for me to make formal
expression of my agreement with
those who believe that the greatest
perils would be initiated by the
adoption of the scheme embraced in
the measure now pending in Con
gress for an unlimited coinage of sill
yer at our minis. If we have de-
veloped an unexpected capacity for
the assimilation OF the largely in
creased volume of the currency, and
even if we have demonstrated the
usefulness of such an increase, these
conditions fall far short of insulting
us against disaster, if in the present
situation we enter upon the danger
