rough rider, having been captain of
Troop c, Torrey's rough riders, and
having been reared in Wyoming, he
has had a touch of ranch life and pos
sesses all the skill of the cowboy with
gun and lasso and can ride anything.
He used to be with Buffalo Bills Wild
West show, and was known as the
king of the cowboys" His giant sta
ture-oyer six feet of sturdy American
manhood-together with his known
skill at 'gun play" and "broncho bust
ing" command profound respect.
His force of men numbers at pres
ent 1S5, but with the increase of labor
ers he is going to ask for 25O, he says.
These 1S5 men are principally negroes,
and, according to the judgment of
Capt. Stanton, they make better po-
licemen than the whites, that is, for
duty in the canal zone On this point
he says:
The necessity of black policemen
was clear at the start Their fitness has
been proved. 1 am proud of their de-
pertinent. Only Jamaicans and Barba-
dians are employed. The zone is heav-
lily populated with Jamaicans, Barba-
dians, Martiniques, Fortune Islanders
and black ColombianS. Our black DO
liceman has had from three to ten
years experience among these people.
The English laws, especially those of
the oonstabulary. are about the same
as those, that regulate the zone Our
black officer has them by heart. He
can read, write and speak English and
Spanish, and many of them understand
French. They know when and how to
make an arrest and, what is by far
more important. when not to make
one. That is my test of a good man.
You can lead these negro laborers,
quiet and orderly as they seem, into a
riot in quick time.
In speaking of the freedom from
crime which marks the district, he de-
clared that he believed that "life and
property are safer on the zone than in
New York city. We have never had a
hold-up, and only two murders in IS
months. One was of a black found in
the bush, and the other was of the
keeper OF the canteen at Culebra, who
was robbed. / shall get the slayer of
the last man. If lad dogs would
have him now. I have sent for six
dogs, and they will be of future ser
vice. for we shall have more crimes of
this nature. There are no gambling on
the zone and no opium joints You can
stake your life there won't be. The
crimes We have had are petty. stupid
forgeries of pay checks, sneak thiev-
ing and drunken assaults. We are
watching the known bad characters.
There are professional crooks among
them. but active police strung along
the lire, well guarded ports and the
great, black, impenetrable forests on
both sides keep them quiet
The thing which Capt. Stanton fears
most is that gambling may get start,
but with characteristic grimness that
means something he said: But if 1t
does, will have hand in it, and |

men HAVE MISSED
FAME BY A SCRATCH

How much of a mans fame some
times rests upon an accident. How
many men can tell the names of the
committee that was appointed to
draft a declaration of independence
They were Thomas Jefferson,
John Adams, Benjamin Franklin,
Roger Sherman and ]. ]. Living
ston. A strong committee that.
But it was Richard Henry Lee who
moved that a committee be appoint
ed to draft the Declaration and sup
ported the motion with a ringing
speech. He was, of course, to be
the chairman of the committee.
But just before the committee was
named Mr.. Lee received a message
that his wife was dangerously i'll,
and he was forced to leave Phila-
delphia for Virginia, and the chair
manship went to Mr.. Jefferson. He
reported the Declaration to the con-
vention, and no matter what else
he did in his great life, when his
name is spoken men think first in
stinctively of that immortal docu-
mcnt.
That it would have lost moth
ing had Mr.. Lee been in Mr.. JEFF
ferson's place, can be seen by few
extracts from his speech in present
ing the motion, as follows:
''Why, then, sir, do we longer
delay? Why still delibcrate? Let
this happy day give birth to an
American republic! Let her arise,
not to devastate and conquer, but to
re-establish the reign of peace and
law. The eyes of Europe are fixed
upon us. She demands of us liv-
ing example of freedom, that may
exhibit contrast, in the felicity of
the citizens to the cver-incrcasing
tyranny which desolates her pollut-
ed shores. She invites us to pre-
pare an asylum, where the unhappy
may find solace, and the prosecuted
repose.
On June 10, 1916, Congress in
committee of the whole agreed to
first resolution in the Declaration,
which was to be and which was in
these words:
THAT these united colonies are,
and of right ought to be, free and
independent states; and that they
are absolved from all allegiance to
the British crown, and that all po-
litical connection between them and
the state of Great Britain is and
ought to be dissolved.
But when the regular session
was resumed 1t was agreed for rea-
sons to postpone the first resolution
until the first Monday in July, and
that committee be appointed to
draft full Declaration.
Lee was great orator and schol-
ar. He had tried in his own state
to have an almost prohibitory tex
placed on the importation of slaves.
The account says:
'In burning eloquence he pointed
out the evils of the human traffic
until his opponents trembled as they
listened"
He was the first to cry out
against the stamp tax, and the first
to advocate independence. In his
day he was called 1.-THE Cicero of
America and this though he had
for contemporaries Patrick Henry
and Alexansier Hamilton. He wrote
as veil as he spoke. In 1868 he
was urging the necessity of a strug-
gle with Great Britain; in 1873, as
a member of the House of Burgess
es of Virginia, he proposed that fa-
nous committee of correspond
cnce" whose appeals reused the
whole country. But the call to the
bedside of a sick wife took from
him what would have been his
highest honor. Goodwin Weekly.

Clara e. Rogers Total Loss After n
Collision.

Vineyard Haven, Mass, June S.-The
coasting schooner Clara E. Rogers,
Captain r. w. Coffin, bound from Perth
Amboy to Lubec, Me, with coal, was in
collision with an unknown steamer in
Vineyard sound during thick fog last
night and went to pieces to-day on the
rocks on the west end of Nashawena
Island, where she had been beached in
hope of preventing her sinking in deep
water. The five men on board were
saved by the life savers of the Cuty-
hnk station and are now at the station
on the island. The crew. assisted by
the life savers, succeeded in saving
some of their personal effects before
the vessel went entirely to pieces.
Nothing has been learned as to the
identity of the steamer with which she
collided, as the former was soon lost
sight of in the thick fog.
The Rogers was a two-masted schoon-
er built in Jonesport, Me-, In 1872, and
had a cargo of about 200 tons of coal.
The vessel was uninsured, but there
was an insurance on the cargo.
