SAW VISIONS OF LARGE TIPS
Hotel Help Gasped When Man Reg
istered as Jay Gould. Newspaper
Reporters Also Got in Hurry.


ATLANTA.-A ripple of amaze
ment among the clerks and a pro-
found sensation among the bellboys
was caused at a leading hotel this
morning when it began to be whis-
pered around the corridors that Jay
| Gould Of New York had just regis
tered 1t was reported that he had
come through all the way in a big
touring car and planned to spend
several days here.
By the time the clerks and en-
ployes had assured themselves with
their own eyes that Jay Gould of
New York. was registered on the
book the fact began to leak onto the
streets, as such things will, and soon
the lobby was crowded with people
anxious to get a look at the famous
scion of the family of multimillion-
aires. The reporters came, too, and
the photographers.
One of the newspaper men had al
ready begun to interview MIR. Gould
on the trip when another, a former
New York newspaper man, exclaim-
ed: Why, you are not Jay Gould
at all"
Eyes, but am" responded the
stranger. And then the mistake
leaked out. The visitor was Jay
Gould all right, but not the son of
George j. Gould and grandson of the
original Jay Gould who first made
the name famous. He was an en-

hundredth cousin, as it were, to the
railroad magnates, and his home is

officer accompanied his new acquaint-
ance aboard the American vessel.
Rodgers greeted him courteously, and
then asked:
do you know what ship you are
aboard off"
"Why, yes" responded the British
officer: cit is his majesty's ship, Sea-
horse"
did you ever hear of vessel
called The PRESIDENT" inquired
Rodgers.
Indeed have" replied the unsus-
pecting Englishmap. THAT is the
craft we are supposed to take"
"Well, The President has taken
you," smiled Rodgers.
The full truth of the ruse by which
he had been betrayed flashed at once
upon the chagrined Briton. but he
saw that he was helpless. The crew
of The President were at quarters
ready for instant action, and the
Highfyer lay at their mercy under
the frowning muzz1es Of the Ameri-
| can guns. There was nothing for 1t
but to submit as gracefully as pos
sible. Rodgers ordered the British
colors struck, and soon the stars and
stripes fioated in the breeze over
both vessels. The sword worn by
Hutchinson, the English commander,
was the personal property Of Rodgers,
taken amidst other plumber at the
burning Of Havre de Grace, but
destined to be returned to the owner
in token of the surrender of one OF
his majesty's crack sea-fghters.
The Highfyer was taken captive to
the American shore, and the country
once again rang with the praises Of
the dashing and ingenious Rodgers.
To Rodgers and The President also
belongs the peculiar distinction of
having fought for 80 hours in abso-
lutte daylight. This is explained by
the fact that the engagement in ques-
ton took place in the Norway lati-
tudes where perpetual daylight exists
at a certain season of the year. 1t
was Rodgers who broke up the block
ade of the port of New York, and who
became known to friends and foes
alike by the fitting title Of "the
swamp fox of the SEAS" He was act
ing secretary of the American navy
in 1923, and on August 1, 1928, he
died at Philadelphia in his fifty
eighth year.

Socially Launched.

In his native town Jimmy had al
ways been most popular with young
and old, but when he was sent away
to boarding school, he was for time
too homesick to make friends. His
first letter was little more than a
wall.
I'm way behind the other boys in
everything" he wrote, dolefully.
"'Tisnt only studies, but it's gymna-
SUM and banjos and everything. I
don't believe they'll ever have much
use for me-"
But the second letter, written after
a week in the new school, was quite
different in tone.
I'm all right" he write to his
mother. "The boys say they'll teach
me all they know, for they're proud
to have me here. l can stretch my
mouth half an inch wider than any
other boy in school, and my feet are
the longest by full inch. So you
needn't worry about me any more

his government, in that he would not
allow the flag of his county and en-
sign of his command to be fiouted.
That Rodgers assumed the entire re-
sponsibility is further shown by a
diary kept by one of his officers,
which reads, in part, as follows:
Yesterday, May 16, while beating
down the bay, we spoke to brig
coming up who informed us that he
saw the British frigate the day before
off the very place where we now are,
but she is not in sight. We have
made the most complete preparations
for battle. Everyone wishes 1t. She
is of exactly our force. Should we
see her / have not the least doubt of
our engagement The commodore
(Rodgers) will demand the person
impressed, the demand will doubtless
be refused, and the battle will in
stantly commence. The commodore
has called in the boatswain, gunner,
and carpenter, and informed them
of all the circumstances, and asked
if they were ready for action.
Ready was the reply of EACH
Just why historians treat this es-
sential beginning of our second war
with England so lightly, and accord
it SO little space, practically passing
it over as unimportant, is hard to
comprehend. Investigation proves 1T
tc have been in our country the
cause of a political revolution, and

So intense was the feeling aroused
by Rodgers feat-of-arms that in the
fall of 1911 the campaign for congress
sional representatives both in the
senate and house were chosen on the
terms voiced in the pertinent ques-
ton: "Are you for war with Eng
land?" Those who answered in the
affirmative were elected, and those

clans were sent home and their
places taken by youthful enthusiasts
who infused fresh blood and spirit
into the staid circle at Washington.
Among the latter were Henry Clay
of Kentucky and John Calhoun OF
South Carolina. These two became
leaders in house and senate, and it
was chiefly owing to their fiery elo-
quence in defense Of Rodgers action,
and in favor of adopting punitive
measures with regard to England, that
President Madison was finally forced
to declare war.
More than one writer has fallen
into the error of declaring Commo-
dore John Rodgers to have been OF
foreign birth. AS matter OF fact,
he was American to the core, having
been born in the state of Maryland,

opened he was sent out on a. cruise,
and in 14S days captured IL British
merchant ships and the English
armed schooner, the Highf1yer. The
crew of the latter vessel had burned
and plundered Havre de Grace, Mary
land, the home of Rodgers, so that the
commodore may be said to have had
private as well as patriotic reasons
for wishing to lay The President
alongside of her.
Before he sailed from Boston Rodg-
ers had obtained from some unknown
source partial knowledge of the
secret signal code of the British
navy, and caused certain flags to
be constructed accordingly. When
he came in sight of the Highfyer he
flew the British ensign, which was
Immediately hailed. A signal was
then displayed on the English YES
sci, and Rodgers succeeded in an
swering it correctly. He then sig
nailed that he was the British ship
Seahorse, and the two vessels ranged
alongside each other. One OF Rodgers
officers donned the uniform of a
British lieutenant and went aboard
the Highfiyer, where he informed the
commander that part of the High
flyers signal code was lost, and
asked that he be allowed to make
good the deficiency. The permission
was graciously granted and taken
advantage of, after which the British
