WOULD SAIL TO THE POLE.
Amos BonsaIl Says Peary's Discoveries
Confirm kane's Theories.

.
In commenting on Commander Rob
ert E. Peary's story Of his dash to the
north pole Amos Bonsall, the sole sur
v1vor of the Elisha Kent Kane expe-
dition, declared recently that he be-
ieves it is possible to sail to the pole
in a properly equipped vessel
''Peary's narrative simply confirms
the theory have had since the Kane
expedition" continued the aged arctic
explorer. II believe, and DR.. Kane be-
lieved, that there was an open polar
sea. The tides, the currents and the
movement of the ice all seemed to be
strong presumptive evidence that be-
You'd the straits discovered by our ex-
petition in 1853 at the north Of Green
land lay great open body of water
"That my theory is correct is dem
onstrated not only by the number of
leads that at times threatened to baf-
fe Peary and which constantly imper-
lied him and his men, but by the very
significant fact that he failed to touch
bottom at the north pole with 1900
fathom line. With these facts demon
strated it is my firm belief that ship
as we'll equipped and protected as the
Fran or the Roosevelt should be able
to weather the passage to the farthest
north"

Life Story of Robert Scott
Lovett, Acting Head of the
Late Financier's Great
Railroad Systems.
BY JAMES A. EDcERroN.

nOBERT SCOTT LOvETT, the
successor of Edward II. Harri-
l1A man in the railroad world, has
not been widely known to the
public, although for some years he
mas been vice president and general
counsel Of the Hartman lines. He is
forty-nine years old. began life as a
Texas plowboy, became clerk in a
store, next station agent, then clerk
In freight Office, studied law at night,
admitted to the bar at the age Of twen-
fy-two, was railroad attorney almost
from the beginning and has gone up
step by step until he is now one Of the
big figures in the railroad world. In
appearance he is rather tall and large
OF frame. is brusque in manner, smooth
shaver, with a typical southern face
that is rather austere in its lines, but
can break into smile on occasion.
His title of Judge" is merely one Of
courtesy, as he never occupied the
bench. His main characteristics are
will power, tireless energy and ability
as an organizer. He it was who han
died the legal end of the Hartman
consultations. He has been credited
with most intimate knowledge Of the
dead railroad kings methods and pur-
poses and was virtually chosen for the
succession by Mr.. Hartman himself.
It was the running Of railroad
through his fathers farm that fired

miles up and down the Kill in the re-
markable time Of two hours. The trip
satisfied the committee thoroughly, and
the boat was accepted.
The Clermont is big boat. There
is room for two to pass along the mar
rowest part Of her deck and for fully
fifty persons to stand upright in her
larger cabin aft. She is $50 feet long
and Is feet wide, fiat bottomed and
has two masts.
The boats boiler shows well above
her deck. One remarkable thing about
the engines is that in ali the main
parts, except the transmission to the
paddle wheels, which is by large cog
wheels, is very similar indeed to the
engines still being used in river steam
ers. The walking beam is at the bot
tom instead of at the top.
When the new Clermont steams up
the Hudson the Rev. G. S. Bullock Of
Stratford, Conn, will represent Robert
Fulton, and Ulster Davis, an old river
pilot, will be the captain Of the boat
Harriet Livingston, who sailed on the
first trip with the inventor, will be rep
resented by Evelyn Bullock, and Chan
cellor Robert r. Livingston, the hacker
OF Fulton, will be represented by his
great-grandson, Robert R. Livingston
Of Cheviot-on-Hudson

Spokane Plans One to Rival the CeIe-
brated Postum Feast.
Spokane, Wash, is preparing to give
President Taft dinner that may be-
come as famous as the possum dinner
of the south.
In one of the finest banqueting rooms
in the world the president will be i'm
pressed with the fact that Spokane is
the home Of the big red apple. The
finest specimens Of apples grown in the
inland empire will be used in the dec
orations, nearly 10000 apples being
used for this purpose alone.
Apples will be served wherever pos
sible on the elaborate menu. Various
viands will be served in the followed
out shells Of apples.
Menu cards and special table deco
rations will be beautiful and artistic
designs Of the product Of the orchard,
and the bumper crop" will be suggest
ed by ''bumpers Of cider"

was rapid. In 1889 he was made as
sistant attorney Of the Texas and Pa
cifc and two years later became gen.
eral counsel.
He was soon known as one Of the
foremost railroad lawyers in Texas,
Joined the firm Of Baker, Bolts, Baker
& Lovett and in time attracted the at
tention Of Hartman through his con-
nection with litigation of the Southern
Pacific and his work in organizing the
Houston and Texas Central. OF this
road Hartman made Lovett president
and In 1904 chose him general counsel
of the Southern Pacific interests in the
state
Harriman's Right Hand.
One Of the secrets Of E. 81. Harri-
mans power was his ability in picking
lieutenants. He differed in methods
from James j. Hill, who looks after
every detail Of his properties. The
master Of the Pacific lines left details
to subordinates. He worked out a
system and carefully picked his men
to work under the system. From his
first contact with Lovett he reposed
confidence in the six foot southern
lawyer, took him to New York, made
him general counsel Of all the Harri-
man roads and chose him as vice pres
ident and acting president. Wall
street soon. knew Lovett as Harriman's
right hand. He it was who stood be-

tween his master and the Interstate
commerce commission when the on
slaught was made on Hartman dur
ing the Roosevelt administration. He
it was who took charge when the rail-
road king went to Europe in search of
health. And when Hartman returned
to America to die it was Judge Lovett
who was ever closest to him, who was
called to Arden in consultation and
the greatest transportation system
probably ever assembled in private
hands.
Judge Lovett is not an operating
man and hence will probably have lit
tie to do with that end Of the Harri-
man properties. But even though he
is not the technical head in an operat-
ing sense he will be the legal and
financial head. This is assured by his
election as chairman Of the executive
committee Of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific. In addition he is an
official Of several transportation lines.
It is probable that Judge Lovett will
be chosen to succeed Mr.. Hartman in
the management or directorate Of other
properties, including the Pacific steam
ship lines. Whoever is the nominal
head Of these properties, however, the
spirit in control will be that Of Harri-
man. His system survives him. The
men he trained will follow his meth
DDS. For little man he will cast
long shadow athwart the American
railroad world.
AS Harriman's most trusted lieuten-
ant Judge Lovett will be the chief fac
tor in continuing the dead fnancier's
rule. Though so unlike physically the
two men are similar in origin and in
mental characteristics. Both started
as poor boys, and both won through
sheer will power, mental grasp and
constructive ability. Both. have been
organizers and builders, and both are
examples Of the opportunity that Amer
lea gives to those who work and who
dare to dream and to do big things.

; I suppose similar tales have been
told of millions of other American
boys, but the distinctive thing about
this lads boast was that he made
good. 1t was not an easy task, as
his first connection with that particu-
lar road was as a teamster, pulling
out old stumps, handling a scraper
and drawing ties and dirt-not a very
promising start, but the ability to
climb is more important than the ma
terial composing the first rung of the
ladder
Studied Law at Nights.
Young Lovett next went into a
store, but all his spare hours were
spent about the railroad station. The
chord started vibrating by the foot of
that construction train was to prove
the master chord Of his life. To such
purpose did he study railroading that
:he was made station agent. Next he
decided to read law and went to the
freight agent at Houston, demanding
a job. Whether it was due to his rec
ord as station agent or to his eager
ness, he got the place. It was good
move, not only for the boy, but for
the freight agent, for since Lovett has
gone up in the world he has pulled the
freight man up few notches also.
While country agent Lovett had
managed to study law and kept up
his reading at Houston. In 1882 he
was admitted to the bar and returned
to his home county to practice. when

railway went into the hands of a re.

Ii is stated that certain saloons
we're open on Sunday again Nor
only that, bur in one certain saiooF
there were three slot machines N
operation, Two Of the machines were

the machines we're being played,
There we're quite few "drunks'
on the streets Sunday also, even q
noticeable number,
That some Of the saloons were open
Is matter of common notoriety, but
apparently none Of the officials can
! lind their way in. The whole issue is
one OF the reasonable enforcement OF
the law, but apparently some OF the
saloon men don't want TO obey the
law. They think they are abcSe th'
llaw and because OF the fact that the
police won't, or can't make arrests
az the Iaw.breakers, and because Of
the fact that Sheriff Pomeroy won't
| or can't, make any arrests, naturally
the law-breaking saloon men think
there is no good reason why the,
should obey the law. And now or
top Of it all come the slot machines
/ II the Sheriff or other officers can
get evidence Of the saloons bein.
open on Sundays he and they ough

for doing, and in addition each Of tn
