tinct individuality in his work.
Edward ). Snyder represents number
OF Middle West newspapers, among them
that paper made famous in the Missouri
valley in the campaign OF 90 by its golden
sting-thc Omaha Bee. He is well versed
in western thought and is writer who
carries influence. His sympathies are with
the nation rather than the West, but is
devoted to the fact that irrigation is now
the great national question.
Edward Z. Coyle is another of the East
ern writer's who has come West to learn at
the fountain of knowledge This man is
classed among the cleverest of the
coterie at Washington and has list of
big papers as long as an eel among them
the celebrated Detroit Free Press, the
humorous columns OF which have made
more laughs than the famous wits of the
age.
W. w. Jermane is more distinctly repre-
sentative Of the West, as he is in direct
touch with the West even more than with
the East. His papers are on the Pacific
coast and in Minneapolis and are great
workers in behalf OF all things tending to
build up the West to its rightful place in
the nation. This man is deeply interested
in all problems relating to the bettcring OF
humane conditions and is a man of the
people, never missing an opportunity to
directly or indirectly making himself felt
as one who has their interests at heart
Taking these distinguished news writers
as body they are about the finest that
has ever come over the Rockies to the
Smoky City. They are a good-looking lot

These are true representatives OF that

OLDEST MAN
Holding an Insurance Policy Has Lived
For One Hundred Years.

Holding an Insurance Policy Has Lived
For One Hundred Years.
In Englewood, N. J., lives the person
who, so far as can be ascertaincd, is the
oldest man in the world holding an insur-
ance policy.
just beginning his second century,
Charles Henry Booth still enjoys remark
able health, sleeps like young man,
shaves himself, attends his meals with
clocklike regularity and walks abroad,
though with stoop.
He was born September 13, 1909, when
Thomas Jefferson was president of the
United States, and he has voted in every
presidential election since Madison's time.
That is, he has cast ballot for or against
all but three of the men who have sat in
the chief executives chair since the coun-
try achieved existence.
In I843 he insured in the Mutual Life
Insurance company, then in the first week
of its existence, and the number of his
policy was "a2." The policy has been
kept up ever since. The Mutual company,
to do honor to the old gentleman's Iootl
birthday, has prepared for him a testi-
monial handsomely engrossea on parch-
ment, and inscribed "The Oldest American
Company to Its Oldest Policyholder."

PAT RODGERS ONCE
MORE IN BAST|LE
DEPUTY SHERIFF HAGGERTY TAKES
THE ESCAPED PRISONER
IN CENTERWlLE.

Fat Rodgers, the last but one of the men
who made their escape from the county
Jail early last August after assaulting and
holding up Jailer Dolan, was rccaptured
this afternoon at Centerville by Deputy
Sheriff William Haggerty. He is now
confined in corridor No. I at the county
jail.
Ihe only man among the escapes who
is still at large is Charles Lennox, the
convicted murderer of James Williams,
whom he shot at Silver Bow a couple of
years ago after trying to hold the latter I'D.
The arrest of Rodgers this afternoon
was accomplished without much difficulty.
lie was found by the officer in front of
the saloon of Mccarthy 4 Powers. Deputy
Sheriff Haggcrty walked up to him and
tapped him on the shoulder, and said:
Rodgers, you are under arrest"
Radgcrs demurred against going to Jail
at first. He was of the opinion that there
was no charge against him. The officer
convinced him of the contrary, and he
finally went along without any resistance.
Apparently when arrested he was maxi
ing no effort to protect himself from such
contingency, as he was out in the open
and did not try to get away.
1t has been known that he was around
town and inclined to give himself up for
some time. He expressed the belief that
he would not be arrested, but that oc-
currence this afternoon disproves his the
ory.
He will be tried for the crime of Jail
breaking, or for assault on the jailer, If
the charge of burglary is not to be proved
against him. His brother, who partici-
pated in the jail-break, was convicted of
assault in the third degree upon Jailer
Dolan, and will do some time for that.
The other escapes who broke out of the
Jail with the two Rogers were James
Martin, Frank Ortoff and Charles Lennox.
Martin, as we'll as John Rodgers, were re-
captured not long after the Jail break.
Ortoff, as will be remembered, died in the
jail. Martin is confined there now.
The Rodgers captured today says he
travelled as far as point two miles north
east of Walkerville with Lennox the night
of the escape. There he separated from
the latter, and he says he has not seen him
since.
According to his story Lennox was shot
through the right hand by Deputy Sheriff
Wyman while they were running away
from the court house after breaking JAIL
Rodgers says that he has been around
Butte, and no further away than Gallatin
county since he escaped.

Get Warm Welcome.

Never has a more welcome party of
men been guests of Butte than the cor
respondents. They were met on every
side with the genuine Western well
come and were soon made to under
stand that all the pleasant things char
actcristic of the city were at their dis
posal. Every newspaper man in the city
offered his quota of welcome, for there
is warm sympathy which ever lives
among those who are associated in news
paper work.
Ability Required.
10 be newspaper correspondent for
the great dailies requires a peculiar ability
outside the general work on paper and it
is one OF the goals to which the eyes of
all members Of the fraternity turn in their
look toward the future.
In this day and age it requires above
all things that one engaged in this work
is great reader OF men and of their mo-
tivcs. lie must have phenomenal energy
and an industry which never recognizes
the possibility OF WEAKNESS. His knowl-
edge of men must be such that he under
stands the why's and wherefores and mean
in2s of all that comes directly under his
observation. Knowing these things and
having the diplomacy and good judgment
not to betray his knowledge men are in
his hands to do as he chooses with them.
Some Of Those Here.
Those who are members of this party
in Butte today are men who have built up
to their present enviable position in news
paper circles by being in possession of
these qualities so necessary to success in
their work.

affairs and keeps his finger On the German

Major Jorn w. Carson is the dean OF
the Washington fraternity. Without ques.

his compeers, not only because of length
of service in the work. but by his ability
and fine nature. He is an ardent adyo.
