State he lost no time in securing the
transfer of Judge Hoyt from the De-
partment of Justice to his own field Of
action. That could not be easily ac-
complished, because there was no place
available the compensation and duties
OF which were commensurate with Mr..
Hoyts abilities.
The Secretary solved the problem, how
ever. by creating. with the assent of Con-
gress, q new Office in the Department of
Hoyt was assigned August II. 1909. In
that field. though the fact was not widely
known, Mr.. Hoyt rendered invaluable
service to the government. not only in
protection and extension Of American in
terests in China, but in untangling the
complex and unsatisfactory relations be-
tween the United States and South and
in laying the foundations for the long
desired reciprocity treaty with the
Dominion Of Canada.
Thoroughly Trained in Law.
Mr.. Hoyt had a thoroughly trained
legal mind. Because Of the brief term Of
his service in the State Department, COM
pared with that Of his work in the De-
partment of Justice. his reputation may
rest principally upon what he accom-
pnshed in his legal pursuits before en-
tering the realm Of diplomacy. His
record Of service in the Department Of
Justice is q bright one. He was at the
elbow Of the Attorney General In the
prosecution of many of the cases Which
involved governmental attack on the
great corporate violators of the anti
trust law. He took an active part in
the attack on the Northern Securities
combine: he pursued the great coal roads
in connection with the famous commodity
cases and was Of the greatest assistance
in the prosecution of the rate cases. In
deed, Mr.. Hoyt was identified more or
less with the greatest activities Of the
Department OF Justice from the date Of
his entry into its service as assistant at
torney general in 1897.
Mr.. Hoyt was born in Wilkesbarre,
Pa, December 2, 1855. being the son Of
Gen. H. M. Hoyt. the governor OF the
commonwealth. He was educated in the
public schools, graduated from Yale in
1878, took a POSTGRADUATE coure in the
University Of Pennsylvania in 1881 and
Anna, daughter Of Morton McMichael.
one Of the foremost citizens Of Philadel-
phia.
He moved in that year to New York
to become assistant cashier Of the United
States National Bank, but three years later
he returned to Pennsylvania to become
treasurer and afterward president of the
Investment Company of Philadelphia. In
1894 he resumed the practice Of law in
Philadelphia, but came to Washington in
sistant attorney general which post he
filled until 1903, when he was made
solicitor general.

that Wien enemies appeared before
the wall they could cut of this sup
ply and compel the people within
TO depend upon stored water. King
Hezekiah about 700 b. G. devoted
himself to remedying this by con-
structing tunnel, which is referred
to in III Kings, Xx., 20, to bring the
waters within the walls.
AT that time not only was tunnel
ing through rocks an untried work
and one that must be done without
such aids in the way of drills and
blasting power as even the most
amateur workman would use now
adays, but there was no mariners
compass or other means for follow
ing given direction underground.
The distance from the spring to the
pool Of Sloan is about 900 feet in
straight line, and the hill over
head is about 80 feet higher than
the spring.
To pcrpetuate this Hezekiah's
vorkmen had tools of bronze, of
description now unknown. They
began digging from both ends at
the same time and tried to keep
their bearings in a straight line by
sighting from outside. They did
not maintain uniform bore, but
kept the slope of the bottom with
great accuracy. The shaft is from
two to three feet wide and from ten
feet high at one end diminishes to
. foot and a half in the middle.
Sighting from the outside did not
prove very satisfactory method.
Many places are to be seen in the
tunnel today where headings were
abandoned and start made in
new direction. Even then the tun-
mel rambles about and was more
than 100 feet long before the two
ends came together. The opposing
diggers were able to find each other
at last by listening for sounds of the
others picks and working toward
the place whence they seemed to
come. This was learned from an
inscription on the wall Of the tun-
mel which was discovered in 1880
by some boys at play.
For city situated rs Jerusalem
