His First Literary Work.

st. Joseph, Mo, April 22.-George
Rees of st. Joseph was the first person
to give Samuel l.. Clemens literary en-
plOyment. Clemens was a typesetter in
the office of the Keokuk (Ia.) Daily
Post, when one day Rees, who was pub
Usher of the paper, told him he thought
he could make more money writing.
Mark Twain was always lazy fell
low, and was not fast enough to set
type" said Mr.. Rees today, $50 1 sug-
gested that he travel in the country
around Keokuk and write letters for
the paper. He wrote as a sample of
his work My First Visit to a Theatre.
It was a humorous description of a
play Julius Caesar
1--WE sent Twain out. He asked IS
for his first letter, which we paid. For
his second he wanted SO. We paid
that. He asked SIS for the third letter.
We fatty refused to pay. He soon left
us and went on the river. He signed
the name of Thomas Jefferson Snod-
grass to the letters he wrote for US"

his son, in which suicide was planned,
and he urged an investigation.
1t was found that Milliron, who had
registered at the hotel five days prior
nder the name of II. NJ. Royle of Chi
cagO, had shot himself through the
heart in bath tub in a room adjoining
his bed room. The body and revolver
were found in the partly filled tub.
In a letter young Milliron, who was
only "a years of age, said that he had
left his home in Salt Lake on Decem-
Der 80, 1904, ostensibly for Chicago, to
enter the Rush Medical college, but
that upon arriving at Provo had left
the train, determined to end his own
life. Worry over studies is believed to
have been responsible for his act.
Miss Madeline Milliron, the daughter
in New York, is shortly to be married
to Allen Burtiss, prominent laundry
owner of the eastern metropolis. she
even now being engly I'd in the prepara-
tion of her trOsseau. For four years,
until two years ago, Miss Milliron was
with the BostOnian opera company,
having appeared at the Herald Square
and Madison Gardens with that organi-
cation. She has been notified by tele-
graph of her fathers tragic death, but
is not likely to come here, because of
the great distance.

cotton firms who rushed to Decatur.
Ala. to investigate the failure OF
knight, Yancey & company, declared
today transactions involving millions,
which preceded and precipitated the
crash may end in federal prosecutions:
1t is alleged that irregular bills OF
iading attached to drafts for heavy
amounts were sent to big cotton houses
in New York and Europe. New YORK
firms, 1t is believed, have lost about
81 100000, while European houses may
have lost between $4,OOO,O00 and So
900 900.
IT is predicted here that the failure
will tend to rey0lUtiOnizs the cotton
business in this country by destroying
the confidence of buyers in bills OF
lading.
Local cotton men are inclined to re-
ioice that Liverpool cotton brokers are
heavy losers. They say the Liverpool
men. counting on receiving from Amer
lea cotton bought at a very low figure,
have shipped back to this country large
quantities of cotton to break the mar
ket If the Liverpool men have been
deceived by foreign bills Of fading, the
local men claim the shortage of cotton
in England will cause shut down OF
the mills there.

other side of the question"
Penton declared the foreign interests
dominated the Merchants association
of New York, and that the league would
prove agents have been in Washington
working III the interests of foreign ship
ping, meaning thereby the members of
the Merchants association who had APP
peared before the merchant marine

yes, sir
Mr.. Ralston asked facetiously If that
was the witness conception of a lobby.
Mr.. Penton admitted he had a high
opinion of the integrity of Congress, de-
spite the American Flags" publica-
ton of references TO sinister and cor
rupting influence" and to colossal for
eign Hobbies" He pointed out that no
publication endorses all that it pub
fishes.
Mr. Penton said if Senator Burton
had charged that the merchant marine
bill was tainted" he had said what
was untrue. He identified letters that
had passed between the league and
Representative Borland of Missouri, in
which Mr.. BOrland had declined to re-
ceive copy of the American Flag" as

lions of Mark Twain appear in today S
journals.
The Lokal AHzeiger says:
Not only English speaking peoples,
but the whole world of culture grieves
that he has gone"
The Berlin Zeitung am Mittag during
a two-column estimate of Mr.. Clemens
work, expressed the opinion that the
American author was loved in Germany
more than in the whole body of French
and English humorists, because his
humOr turned fundamentally upon
serious and earnest conceptions of life
The paper says that the American
works most widely read in Germany
are probably those of Emerson and
Mark Twain.

Roosevelt Grieved.

Paris, April 22.-Former President
Roosevelt was greatly panied to hear
1T is with sincere grief that l
learned of the death of this great
American author. His position, like
that of Joel Chandler Harris, was
unique, not only in American letters.
but in the literature of the world.
He was not only a great humorist,
but a great philosopher, and his writ
ings form one asset in American con-
tributiOns to the world of achievement
Of which we have right as a nation
to be genuinely proud"
In the pigskin library which Mr..
Roosevelt carried through the jungles
of Africa were two of the late author s
books, "Huckleberry Finn" and tom
Sawyer" and Mr.. Roosevelt says he
read both of them several times and al
ways with the greatest interest.

Sorrow on the Desert.

Aurora, New, April 22.-Mark Twain's
death comes with peculiar sadness to
this little town, out in the southern
desert, for in his wanderings he once
lived here. 1t was in his brief career
in mines and prospecting that he To-
Gated in Aurora, and his description of
the loss of the wild West" claim is
the story of his venture in this camp.
The cabin he occupied here still
stands. Some time ago one of the old
settlers who knew Clemens sent him a
single from the roof of the shack. In
due time Clemens answered, thanking
the sender, but adding that ''it must
have been the only shingle on the cab
in" as the last recollection he had of
the shack was that it leaked like a
sieve and he failed to recognize the
shingle as an old friend.

DIRECT INTEREST
OF SOME MEMBERS
New Matter Brought Out at
Hearing of House Ship Sub
Sidy Committee.
PRoDDlNG OF Mr.. PENTON
LEAGUE SECRETARY ON THE
RACK MOST OF THE DAY.

Washington, April 22.-The direct in
terest of members of the executive COM
mittee of the Merchant Marine league
OF the United States in legislation they
urged. was brought out at today's hear
ing before the ship subsidy investigat-
ing committee.
Prosecuting Attorney Ralston, counsel
for Representative Stevenson of Min
nesOta, the aggrieved member under the
leagues propaganda, prodded Secretary
Penton of the league as to the effects
of the second clause of the Humphreys
bill. The witness admitted that large
proportion of the committee and other
officials were engaged in production and
transportation of iron ore or steel. and
would thereby be benefited by the ad-
ditionai protection of the large increase
in tonnage duties on vessels entering
from certain countries.
Mr.. Penton said that view of the mat
ter had not occurred to him before, nor
did he believe the question of pecuniary
or direct interest of any kind had Oc-
CURED to any of the officials mentioned.
Attorney Ralston wanted to know
about the published reference in the
American Flag" the leagues organ, to
Representatives of the foreign shipping
combination in and cut of Congress-

STEARNS GAR IS
king AUTOMOBILE
Splendid Record in Twice
Around the Clock Event
Gives Title

The wonderful performance OF the
S0-60 horsepower Stearns car on Au-
gust 10 and 20 in the "a hour race in
New York city, when 1t broke all ex-
isting records for this distance, Is
really. overshadowed by the fact that
the winning car is a privately owned
machine and prior to the contest had
been run more than $4,000 miles in the
hands of it's owner, J. NJ. Rutherford
Of New York city.
The performance of the Stearns has
been called "the greatest achievement in
the history Of "a hour races" In fact
it is another splendid tribut, to the
speed, power and endurance of the
Stearns.
The. Stearns commenced to break the
worlds record in the eleventh hour of
until the finish consistently gained on
the previous record, which was 1876
miles, made last October. The Stearns
covered 1858 miles in the "a hours,
breaking the record by fraction over
81 miles.
A close analysis Of the time and dis
tance shows that the winning car aver
aged over 50 miles per hour for the "a
consecutive hours, this average includ-
ing stops for gasoline. oil, etc. From
the fifth hour of the race, when the
Stearns commenced to pull ahead of the
field, there was really no doubt as to
the finish interest centered IN the
achievement of the Stearns in going
I far ahead of the record. At the finish
the winning car was over IS miles
ahead of the second machine, with the
remainder struggling.
