DEATH OF ANGELO HEILPRIN
WHO CLIMBED MONT PELEE BE-
TWEEN ERUPTIONS IN 1909.

He lad Led the Pesry Relief Expedition Ten
Years Before That-A Geoiosist and
President OF the Philadelphia Geo
graphical society-Bo0ks He wrote.
Angelo Heilprin. who asoended Mont
Pelee while the volcano was still shakin ,
In the throes of the eruption which de-
stroyed Martinique. died yesterday at the
home Of his sister. Mrs. Adolph Lovemsn.
30 West lsath street. Prof. Heilprin was
81 years old and a bachelor. He had been
i'll at his sister home for the last two months
from a tropical fever which he contracted
in South America several years q
Angelo Heilprin was born at Satoralja-
Ujhely, Hungary. His parents came to this
country when he was 8 years old. His frat
work vas assisting his father In the revision
of the American ~Cyclopedis. His father was
a literary man and Angelo at first intended
TO follow in his path. but deciding that his
bent was rather toward the collection Of
facts than toward their arrangement after
collection by other persons, he studied
biology and paleontology abroad. In 1880
he was made professor OF invertebrate
pa~leontology at the Academy OF Natural
Sciences In Philadelphia. then professor Of
geology, and in 1883 curator of the academy.
He became president of the Philadelphia
Geographic Society and a eader in the
national geographical organizations and az
such led the Peary relief expedition in 1892.
He was vice-president Of the American
Alpine Club.
It was when Martinique was destroyed.
however. that Heilprin performed perhaps
the most striking scientific b OF his
life and one which made him something OF
a popular figure at the time. He went TO
the island at the head of IN expedition
equipped by the National Geographical
Society. The disaster took place in May,
1902. destroying the city OF st. Pierre and
about thirty thousand lives. BY May Is
Heilprin decided that he could make the
ascent. Friday. May 80. was spent in study
ing the newly formed craters and on Satur-
day Heilprin performed the hazardous feat
Of climbing to the top OF the crater. h
he was thrown down by shocks and struck
by pieces of half molten lava. He finally
gained the edge OF the crater. The great
pit, 500 feet long and $50 broad. teamed
and bubbled beneath him. He sat down
on the brink, took out his note book and
proceeded for two hours to set down swiftly
his observations on the state OF the volcano.
There were three eruptions while he sat
there. One of them covered Heilprin with
hot mud spurted up from the crater. After
of great violence. The observations he
made resulted in a beat for the National
Geographical Society and made him famous.
Heilprin was a writer of scientific books
that attained. a larger circulation than
most books of authority. Some Of the best
known are: THE Geological Evidence Of
Evolution" The Earth and Its Story
Alaska and the Klondike, Mont Pelee and
the Tragedy Of Martinique. and -Explora-

NEXT ATTACK on RAILROADS.
Probably sults Against Those That Acquire
stock IN Other RaAds.

rOU8D Dukto AXuluht InOto Hu4t ACQUIRE
Stock In other Reads.
WASHINGTON, July lit 10 not unlikely
that the next radical step taken by the
Department of Justice In its prosecution
Of the trusts will he a suit aimed at the
practice Of railroad corporations In aoquir-
ing shares OF stock In other railroads. The
Interstate Commerce. Commission has re-
gently expressed the opinion that this
practice should be broken up and that new
legislation 10 necessary to accomplish that
end.
The particular cause Of complaint against
the acquisition by railroad companies Of
the stock Of other railroads was the Harri-
man case. the report on which was made
public a few days ago by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. II was shown TO
the satisfaction Of the commission that the
buying OF stock In supposedly competing
roads VA responsible for many OF the
evils brought to light by the Hartman
Investigation, and Chairman Knapp 10
among those who declare that such pur.
chases should be absolutely prohibited
acquisition OF a small block Of railroad
stock by another railroad 10 sufficient in
many cases to create suoh a friendly attitude
on the part Of each railroad toward the
other as TO bring about such a community
Of interest that true competition is de-
stroyed.
Chairman Knapp and. as far as known.
the other members of the commission do
not hold that the present laws are broad
enough to cover the alleged evil OF which
they complain. and they will probably
urge President Roosevelt TO recommend
TO Congress next December some legisla-
ton to cover railroad stock purchases
by railroads. Mr.. Purdy and possibly
other officers Of the Department Of Justice
on the other hand believe that Inc Sher-
man act will cover the case In question.
This opinion 10 based on the terms OF Sec
ton 1, which declares Every contract
In restraint OF trade or commece
among the several States" to be Illegal.
IL is admitted by officers OF the De-
partment Of Justice that IL would be necee-
sary in every individual case to prove
that the purchases Of stock resulted in a
restraint Of trade; and this seems to
sustain IN reluctant opinion OF Chairman
Knapp that the stock purchases are not
in themselves illegal. MIR. Knapp would
have these stock purchases prohibited
by law on the ground that they tend toward
a limitation OF competition.
1t ia cited by Chairman Knapp that al
though the Union Pacific Railroad proper
is not a great railroad system the acquisition
OF too in other lines by the Hartman
interests has been such that a great COM
bi~nation, destructive OF competition. has
been built up, and tina these transactions
have in some cases been such that h law
cannot afford q remedy.
