that Mr.. Bennett knows the full con-
tents of his paper each night before
il goes to press. While this may be
an exaggeration it is certain that he
keeps a watchful eye on it wherever
he may be. He uses the cable daily
for the instruction of his editors, and
they use it daily in making reports to
him. He is undoubtedly the editor
of the paper in every sense of the
word.
Those who have seen Mr.. Bennett
recently, say that he still has the
bright aggressive face and the big
determination of character that was
stamped upon his brow when he was
q more familiar figure in the streets
of New York than he is today. From
his eyes flash the old energy and reso-
luton to conquer at all hazard His
years of life abroad have not made
him European. He is as much an
American today as he was when he
was active managing editor. of the
Evening Telegram.
In his earlier days Mr.. Bennett was
the most amateur sportsman living,
at pedestrianism and polo, and with
the rifle. shotgun and whip. He is
top-notch navigator, and has cir
cumnavigated the globe twice. With
his ne: paper cares he has success

SUCCESS Of EDITOR
JAMES GORDON
Bennett.
Sixty Fifth Birthday Finds
Him Hale and Hearty-A
Great Career.
Associated Press to The Evening Timcs

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York. May Hollow old is
James Gordon Bennett, the man who
lis the New York Herald?" Few per-
sons, even among those who profess
to know New York and its people like
book, can guess off hand anywhere
near the age of the proprietor of the
Herald.
1t is certain that very few, unless
they had consulted who's Who"
would place the number of Mr.. Ben
nett's years at sixty-five. But such
is the fact. Today was Mr.. Benefits
sixty-fifth birthday and the managers
of his interests in New York and the
members of his journalistic staff took
occasion to cable congratulatory
message to their chief in Paris.
OF all the proprietors of metropoli-
tan newspapers James Gorden Ben
nett is the least known to the public.
Mr.. Bennett does not desire that he
should be personally known, or any
more than name. either to the read
ers of the Herald or to the community
at large. Mr.. Bennett enjoys life in
Europe. OF late years his visits to
New York have become fewer and
farther between. though he is still the
master of the Herald. the owner of it,
and the recipient of the great revenues
that accrue to him from it.
The world presents no similar ex-
ample of genius successfully conduct
ing and inspiring-from permanent
residence more than 5000 miles dis
tant; from scattered private villas on
the European continent, or from the
cabin OF steam yacht in European
ports--an institution so sensitive to
the pressure of personal influence,
and so exacting of the masterful sur
veillance of ownership, as great
daily newspaper. 1t has been said

AN EARLY DISPOSITION
OF Railroad Rate Bill Anticipated
~e- Sparring Continues.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, May 10.-The senate
spent the greater part of the day yes
terday again in the consideration of
the question of divorcing the produc-
ton of coal and other commodities
from their transportation and closed
that branch of its work by adopting
modified provision formally offered by
Senator Elllins, but originally suggest
ed by Senator McLarin. There was
again much sparring over parliamen-
tary points, but there was at no time
as much confusion as on Tuesday, and
when the question was finally closed
the progress was so rapid that the first
section was entirely disposed of before
the senate adjourned. Other amend
ments were also adopted. but long
and short haul provision suggested by
Mr.. La Toilette was voted down by
practically party vote, all but two
republicans voting against the amend
ment.
When the senate adjourned there
was a general feeling that the rapid
work of the latter part of the session
presages the early final disposition of
the bill. None of the Allison COM
promise amendments were considered.

tie no one seems able 70 cxp!sia. 1t
is not the proper name for the bsssd
however and should not be used by
those who have regard for sccaracy
of speech The name Shorthorn was
used in contradiction to an old e.
tablished type Of cattle, still bred in
a small way in England, known rs
the Longhorn In the matter OF
color, red, white or roam cannot be
given precedence so far as published
records 60. These colors have all
been common since the type assumed
TIE dignity of distinct breed some
l25 years ago. The roane have al
ways predominated in the ancestral
home of the breed and are far in the
lead on both sides of the water in
Che great show yard competitions.
Probably a majority Of all the best
herds in America are at the present
time headed by roam bulls. The
fact is the roar is the one character
istic Shorthorn color and cannot be
counterfeited. 1t has never been
produced by any other blood in the
bovine world. Wherever and when
ever q roam hide is seen on a COW
one can invariably bank upon the
fact that Shorthorn blood is present
At one time our American stock men
had something of a craze for solid
red Shorthorns. Some ranchmen
especially were insistent upon that
color and this made it necessary that
breeders in the corn belt use red
stock bulls in order to cater success
fully to the red trade. This led for
long series of years to the sacrifice
Of many splendid bulls because they
were roam and to the use Of hundreds
Of inferior bulls simply because they
wore red hair A more sane practice
now prevails. While buyers for the
range still prefer the red cattle, the
farmers, feeders and breeders of the
middle states not only use roam bulls
freely but in many instances express
a decided preference for them, and
pure white bulls are now to be seen
in service in several prominent herds.
