The Reporter Seized II and Got His
Real Start In Life.
All the city travelling public loves
strap hanger because II has n fellow
feeling for Kim. Thu; Is why the story
OF how Frank vanderlip. the banker.
got his start has an almost universal
appeal. 1t happened when vanderlip
was reporter on Chicago newspa-
per end writing financial news. The
traction situation then. MS now. was al
most impossible. Charles T. Yerkes
was traction dictator. and the stock
holders and the public never had q
word TO say In the conduct Of the
roads. Nor could they get any definite
idea Of the financial condition OF the
properties.
The time for the annual meeting of
the stockholders of the principal road
came along At all the meetings Mr..
Yeykcs had ratified off the reports in
the USUAL undecipherable corporation
way. and no one knew what was do
ing. So vanderlip planned coup.
He bought n share OF stock. which
admitted him 10 the meeting. He had
been stenographer before he became
newspaper man. When Mr. Yerkes
sailed into his breezy explanation OF
finances the young reporter took down
everything he said. Mr.. Yerkes used
one striking phrase. aud ii was this:
The passengers who have seats pay
the operating expenses, but the strap
hangers pay your dividends"
The next day the sentence topped
VanderliIss account of the meeting.
1t aroused n storm Of discussion. for it
laid bare some OF the traction methods;
also II got VANDERBILT raise in salary
and n promotion.-Saturday Evening

Chicago, June 21.-It was agreed be-

Oil case that the information asked
for by judge lands relative to the
financial condition or the Standard Oh
company shall be given by June 26.
Before this agreement was reached At
torney John s. Miller, acting for the
Standard Oil company. said:
1--WE do not desire to be misunder-
stood In this matter of agreeing upon
a date. We desire to have 1t under
stood that we make no promises to
furnish that which the court has asked
from us and We reserve the right tn
oppose it. There is some question In
our minds as to the materiality, rel
evancy and propriety of the court
action. Such an occasion as this has
never come within our experience.
For the information of counsel,
said Judge Landis, Il will say that 1t
has been the rule of this court to find
out the condition of defendant to be
fined before imposing a penalty. Re-
Gently considerable time was con
sumed by this court In sitting out the
financial status OF the church and
school furniture companies before the
fines were imposed"
I'VE are unable to see" said Attor-
ney Miller, why the wealth or pow
erty of defendant is material when
it comes to deciding the guilt or limo
cence or in fixing the punishment. OF
course our experience is very limited
In these matters and we may be in
error"
THE court cannot presume to have
greater experience than counsel,
said Judge Landis, 'but what | have
just pointed out is a rule Of this
court"
