JOHN F. STEVENS
A MAN OF ACTION
Has Strength and Ability TO
Finish Panama Canal
HAS ENDURED PRIVAII0NS
Hardshlps Have Proven No Barrier,
However, and Stevens Is Today
One of the Greatest Amer
lean Engineers.
HAS ENDURED PRIvAIIoNS

From the New York Herald.
Nothing but death or a physical
breakdown will chase John F. Stevens
away from his great work on the 18th
mus of Panama. Grant him length OF
days and good health and he will build
that canal--build 1t honestly and WELL He
has the soldier instincts of bravery, 10y
atty and obedience TO his superiors. He
is rugged as the hills In all the equip
ment of experience. aggressiveness, ten
acity and mental strength that go to
make a great engineer he is qualified for
the momentous task to which he has
been called"
This in epitome seems to be the unan-
imous judgment of the former railroad
associates of Mr.. Stevens on the man
whom President Roosevelt has commits
stoned to build the interoceanic water
way. Mr. Stevens himself is making no
forecasts of his success or failure. He
has a way-which railroad engineers like
of letting his work do its own talking.
Mr. Stevens loves to tackle big things.
He thrives on difficulties He has under
taken in his time tasks that called for
superlative nerve and the highest tech
meal ability. In every instance, accord
Ing to those who know, he has come off
conqueror.
'Tell me something of your life as a
boy and man, Of your experience as an
engineer on the frontier" asked a Herald
reporter of Mr.. Stevens in his Chicago
office.
"Oh, there's nothing in that, MY boy.
nothing that the public cares anything
about"
Eyes, but you are an international char
acter now and you can't expect to keep
yourself in the background"
"Oh, we'll. just say what you please
about me If you must, but I'd rather you
wouldn't say anything. l haven't time to
talk about myself. I'm in a hurry
In those words he sounded the keynote
to his character. Mr. Stevens Is nearly
always in a hurry He is fuller of ac-
ton than a modern farce comedy and 1t
Is invariably action to a purpose Except
when the emergencies of a situation re-
quire that he sit still and talk. he is

usually In the attitude of Mark Twain's
ostrich, which had a wonderful faculty
for emerging from here and arriving else
where. In his home and in his office he
"emerges'' when he t-lks.
A Man of Action.
He puts his heart. his brain and his
wonderful physical energy into every
task. He did that when he whipped the
son of a great railroad president with
whom he had a personal alteration, and
he did II when. as a scout on the plains,
he carried message from one mliltary
post to another, being Obliged to hide
neck deep in a swamp for twenty hours
to avoid being captured and killed by
Indians.
In CARRYING this message Mr.. Stevens
did what he believed was his duty as a
man loyal to his country although two
other men had been scalped and muir
dered brutally while on the same mis-
sion He licked the railroad presidents
son because he Thought he ought to and
the father of the castigated boy looked
at It that way.
II the lines of the face are trustworthy
indices of the man. those in the face OF
Mr. Stevens strengthens the predictions
of the railroad engineers that he VIII
stick to his post in Panama until the
canal is completed and dedicated to the
P''N
is entered The little burrows radiating
from the corners of the eyes bespeak a
rare optimism. Mr.. Stevens looks at life
and its problems from cheerful, whole
some standpoint. He believes In his own
powers and will not grant that anything
material is impossible to man. lie Is
certain the Panama canal can be built
and has faith in American genius and
pluck to achieve the task.
II Is with that spirit Mr.. Stevens looks
forward to his work. Most men might
have worried. anxious look when about
to tackle the difficulties OF the greatest
engineering undertaking in the worlds
history. but this man goes about his bus
mess as serene as If he were confronted
with an everyday job. He is losing no
sleep over 1T.
But there are other lines in Mr.. Stevens
face than those that make his eyes
twinkle with merriment and optimism.
They are the mouth lines Here is In
scribed an unmistakable determination.
Look at that mouth and chin and one
Immediately decides the obstacle does not
exist that IL big enough to make this
mans spirit quail or to swerve him from
set purpose.
His Ready Acceptance.
When he asked for only forty-eight
hours to decide whether he should accept
or reject the important commission ten
dered by President Roosevelt the cour-
age and caIibre Of Mr.. Stevens were
stri,xingly revealed. For himself he could
have made up his mind in ten minutes to

man under any. circumstances, and bat
ter still, he is big enough and brave
enough to say II don't know when that
happens to be the fact. which Is rare in
anything relating to his profession.
HE has little time Tor recreation or
social diversion. He Is not club man.
A little golf now and then and good
deal of walking seem 70 be his methods
of exercising. 1t Is too busy world for
him to give much of his time to either.
l shall be greatly disappointed If he does
not redeem every hooe tho President has
in him. Certainly, he Is not lacking in
executive ability or technical attain
ments."
II shall not be ready to announce any
programme of my own In the Panama
district until l famillarize myself with
the situation there" said Mr.. Stevens.
Taking long distance chance on some
OF the minor questions involved. l should
say that we need men who are competent
for the executive staff-broad minded
American chaps who are willing to work
hard and suffer sacrifices. 1t is not going
to be any paradise down there, as the
history of canal building In the tropics
has demonstrated. but there ought to be
enough loyal sons OF this government
to carry to completion project which
will have a momentous effect on the
commerce of America and the world
"If not enough American labor il
available to do the work within a reas-
enable time, recourse may be had to
those who are better acclimated to the
canal district When the work of con-
struction is In full sway I should think
30 900 men would be none too many.
1.-THE Panama railroad, of course, is q
most important adjunct to the scheme of
operations, and probably an early In
crease Of its efficiency would be adyisa BILE
to facilitate the work of excavation The
whole problem am sure can be worked
out satisfactorily and carried to compile
ton once 1t is decided just what the ma
ture and scope of the canal are to be-
whether sea level or provided with locks .
Plans for the Future.
If Mr.. Stevens finishes his task in ten
years he will come into the zenith az his
glory at the age Of sixty-two years, Judg-
ing the probabilities of life from his pres
ent physical powers. he may fairly eigure
on fifteen or even twenty years In which
to enjoy the plaudits of his fellow men.
1t is not the intention Of Mrs. Stevens
and her three sons to go to Panama I'd
live, although fine residence provff, "a
by the government will be there for me
use of the chief engineers family. Mr.
Stevens expects to be aDie to come home
casionally, and the members OF his
family probably Will spend favorabls ne

atoms.
