N EW YORK, April 15.-(Special.) )-
 M Pickle Wall street is today more
 interested in Joseph H. Hoadley than probably any of the big men in the financial district The strong posi- tion of certain stocks with which he has been identified, such as the common and preferred shares of American loeomtives. his association with the proposed merger of the Alabama steel and iron companies, have made him one of the most talked of men in New York
 As a matter of fact Wall street knows very little about MT. Hoadley. It thinks it is familiar with his speculative career and there the matter ends. For a time it was the fashion to call him "TIoadley of International Power fame.' But the strong showing of the Power company with It's ownership of the control of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company which will go into the southern merger, its control of the American and British Manufacturing company, which hardly a week ago received the navy de- partment contract for building s6 3-ineh rapid fire guns, It's activity In the Diesel engine department and the known fact that it is the largest stoclshoder in the American Locomotive company are rapid ly making International Power and it's president subjects of respectful interest.
 Wall street probably has an inkling that MT. Hoadleys fortune has been vastly in- creased in the last year. As Wall street usually inquires little further than the extent of a mans fortune the New York financial district Is hardly the place to learn things about it's captains of indus try. The average man who watches the gyrations of the ticker in the brokerage

company of which Johns W. Gates was president.
 His operations footed up to fabulous millions in the aggregate and there were hardly any geographical limitations to them. There is scarcely large city ln the country that does not bear some testimony to the wide extent of his 1s- dertakngs.
 When he came east he was not thr.y years old, but there was not con tractor in America who could vie with him in the varied record of achieve- ments His versatility and resourcetni- ness carried him over the obstacles which every contractor has to encauu- ter. If he did not have the appliances to do a certain piece of work he invented and built them. He was one of the h'st to see that the old style beting was in- adequate for the transmission of power In electrical power plants. He invented the block and tackle system which wGs later known as the Hoadley compouul' wind system of rope transmission. In 1888 this replaced the mainbelt in all big power plants until the direct connected generator came into use in 1894
 Interested in Question of Power.
 In his mechanical studies the ques. .ion of power interested him more than any thing else. He became the subject of his deepest studies He never saw an en- zine that he did not want to know all about it. It was probably this bent of mind that led him to undertake the con solidation of the great engine plants If America. The pioneer steam engine builders of America were Jerome Whoe- lock, Nathaniel T. Greene and George R. Corliss When Mr. Hoadley came east he purchased the great properties founded by these men, together with their inventions, and they formed the basis of what is now known as the h. ternational Power company. He took the best points of these engines and under his patents perfected the Greene-Whee-

lock engine, which has the unrivalled steam engine economy of the world, and has been universally adopted. With the ultimate combination of the engine com panies,nYoung Hoadley-for he was then only aaryears old-attempted his frs; great undertakings Some of the plants had dwindled in efficiency. The Corliss Engine works had practically shut down with an indebtedness of $500, 900 hanging over them. MT Hoadley also took over the Rhode Island Locomotive works at Providence. This plant. which at one time had been the third largest in ths country, at the time of his purchase was in the hands of the bondholders and had not turned a wheel in three years. The plants were rehabiltated and soon afte'- , wards the Corliss Engine works and Rhode Island Locomotive works were in full operation with 2500 hands and a pay roll of $l,0OO.OO0 a year.
 The. next great step was the organiza- ton of the American Locomotive cont pany with $500000O0 capital Mir. Hoad- ley, without asking the public for dol lar or interesting them in any way, ob- tained an option on all the important locomotive works of the country with the exception of one in Philadelphia, and with the assistance of his New York as- sociates combined them under one head
 His success with the American Ord iie'ilNNr hpAhS bl DiiuStpOIl, 1ofln, was equally as remarkable. This company. which had consolidated the gun works of America and also the making of pro jectiles, had gone into debt for nearly $So0,000. When Mir. Hoadley caused the International Power company to assume control of its affairs conditions changed decidedly. Under the new managemert all debts were paid off and $2S7. 900 cleared within two years.
 
 Was Not Satisfied.
 An ordinary man would have been sat istied with the successful 5romotion If such big enterprises. MT. Ioadley wss not. During all this time his mInd was busy with the great problems of mechai ics- He was one of the hrst man to Le- iieve In the possibilities of he aItomo- bile and his experiments in .hs field were many. He built the first comercial automobile in America at his engine works in Worcester, Mass, and has le voted much time to perfectiig oyto trucks. It is safe to say theer is hardly an automobile In the world that docs nnt carry some part of his designs
 His greatest ambition has been to ,n vent or develop perfect erigne. He con trols the manufacture of the Diesel en- zine. that new wonder of mechanics for the United States and Canada Rut even the Diesel was failure until it was perfected by experiments made by MT Hoadley and Walter II.

 Buy thimble that fits; don't push your needle through with your teeth.
 Don't sew up your pockets while trying to sew on button to stay
 Don't attempt to push a No. 3 needle through No. 10 hole-profanity is bad form.

strange craft and heard shots. There.
upon he sent a wireless message to
the flagship, saying:
Torpedo boats follow us"
The flagship answered. Report
how many torpedo boats follow you"
Captain Wallerond answered. I'VE

They attack lis from all sides at a
distance of about ten cable lengths"
The Kamchatka proceeded, but
Captain Wallerond did not see any
more strange craft.
Captain Clado OF the admiral's flag

about seeing two torpedo boats. He
said: II first saw strange craft
through my night glass and then the

boat which almost collided with us.
We unanswered to avoid a collision
and escape the torpedo which might
