Entry Into New York

Pulitzer's entry into New York jour-
nalism occurred in 1883, when he bought
the World, then paper of small circu-
lation. It's circulation and prestige
grew rapidly under his general direc-
ton. A building to house 1t. which he
erected in 1890 in Park row was until
overtopped by the skyscrapers of later
years, one of the most striking of New
York's Office buildings
Pulitzer's sight began to fail him in
the late eighties, and after time he
became totally blind. Ever since he had
been a partial invalid, but up to the last
had kept general supervision over his
newspaper properties here and in st.
Louis and taken pronounced interest in
civic affairs

PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE
PRIMARY IS ADVOCATED

When the Republican National Com
mittee meets in Washington in Decem-
Der, to decide upon the time and place
for the next national convention, Sen
ator La Follette's law partner A. T.
Rogers. of Madison, Wis, member Of the
national committee from Wisconsin, will
make formal motion that the COM
mittee declare itself in favor of a Presi-
dental preference primary election in
each State, and will ask that a sub
committee be appointed to take the mat
ter up with the State organizations and
report back to the national committee
The managers Of Senator La FoIlette's
candidacy have already announced their
intention to make this demand on the
national committee. Senator Jonathan
Bourne, head Of the Progressive League
has made public his views on the sub
Ject. formal letter will be sent to
each member OF the committee, embody-
ing the demand, and then the Senator S
law partner will bring it UP formally
in the committee. The La Toilette men
do not expect to carry through their pro-
gramme. They claim six members Of
the national committee and do not ex-
pect TO get many more votes than that
number for their proposal.
The La Toilette managers declare that
they have no choice among the cities
for the location of the next convention.
They believe, however, that it will go
to Chicago.

WANT GALE TO BLOW.
Wrights Not Much Interested in
the Worlds Series,

Kitty Hawk. n. c., Oct. 22-To-morrow
the wrights will enter upon the most i'm
portant work OF their present expert
ments at the Kill Devil Hill camp. At
daybreak they will begin tests with the
soaring machine and the new, untried
automatic stability device.
All the work they do will have to be
accomplished before Saturday On that
day Orville Wright is obliged to return
to Dayton in order to take up matters
connected with the Curtis patent suit.
For this reason the personnel Of the
camp is especially anxious that the week
be one period Of prolonged storms.
Life-saver Robert L Wescott branded
as untrue to-day a story that he had
sold his property to the wrights for
the purpose OF establishing permanent
experimental station which would be in
effect a national laboratory. The wrights
themselves are uncertain as to whether
they will ever return to Kitty Hawk at
the conclusion Of these experiments. The
story has its origin IN the difficulty the
Wrights had with Wescott over the hill
from which they conducted their expert
ments. The hill is owned by the life
saver. Wescott owns about 1000 acres of
property in the vicinity.

President of u. S. Holds
Travel Record of Uni
perSe-AU0Wance of
$25,OOO a Year May
Be Opposed in Future.

William Howard Taft, President of the
United States and champion traveller Of
the universe is now doing a little tour
Of twenty-eight States of the Union to
add 26,243 more miles to his record.
It is a wonderful record for getting
over ground. even in these days of the
fast express trains and giant ocean
steamships, that the President has es-
tablished, and when he returns to Wash
ington on November Is he will have
Travelled since he entered the government
service in 1900 as a Philippine commits
sioner 2SO,46S miles. This computation is
based on the simple steamship and rail-
road travel, and does not cake into con-
sideratiOn the thousands of miles the
President has journeyed by automobile
in side trips at the innumerable corners
Of the world he has visited.
Since he has been in the White House
Mr.. Taft to date has travelled 81 IA miles.
To this will be added the exact mileage
Of the present swing around the circle
that he is making and which has been
figured out to be 26243 miles.
Proud of His Record.
President Taft likes to travel The
clipping and jar of car wheels and the
humping of ship propeller are music to
his ear. That he is proud of his travel
record is made plain to any one who
reads the biography Of the nations Ex-
ecutive as published in the Congressional
Directory, a biography which is pre-
pared under the Presidents direction. In
it he tells of his many dashes to Panama,
to Cuba. to the Philippines, and around
the world.
The local travel, little journeys around
the United States seems TO be of little
consequence from the Presidents point
Of view, for no mention is made of his
frequent excursions, not even of his
rip that took him into thirty-nine States
9 Paso to shake hands and say 'Howdy''
o the then President of Mexico PorfirIo
Oiaz.
The travel microbe stung William
Howard Taft in 1860, when President
Mckinley selected him as one of the
Philippine commissioners. Up to that
time Mr.. Taft was used to the court
room, and on his maiden trip to the
Orient he was affected with what has
proven TO be an inCurable case of travel
mania.
Since that first trip. a little over ten
years ago, he has Travelled almost in
Cessantly, and from the Presidents per
sOnaI standpoint it has been most en-
iOya BILE, for all of the trips and jour
neys and excursions up to two and a
half years ago were made at govern
ment expense. For since his first ap-
pointment as a Philippine commissioner
Mr.. Taft has been continually on the
payroll of Uncle Sam, excepting the
short period between his nomination for

"HOLY GHOSTERS"
ON DEATH CRUISE
Leader Fattened While Fol-
lowers Starved.

Brunswick, Me, Oct. 2.-An amazing
Ghost and Us" Society, who put to sea
in the yacht Coronet and barkentine
Kingdom for one of the most remark
able voyages in history, were forced to
sUbsist on three swallows OF water and
little food each day while their leader.
the Rev Frank W. SandfOrd, enjoyed
good meals from the choicest of foods
given by passing ships was told tonight
by Roland Whitton, formerly sailing
master of the Coronet.
Whitton left the Coronet after directing
its course from Africa, but kept silence
concerning his reasons for deserting
Sandford until he was shown dispatches
from Portland, Me, to-day stating that
Mate Mckay had also quit Sandford and
that the conditions aboard the yacht
had been laid before the United States
district attorney. Whitton said there
was no time during the entire voyage
when the vessel was properly provi-
stoned, and that little effort was made
by Sandford to relieve the suffering OF
those aboard. Passing ships would sight
the Coronet, and, knowing Of her Oft
reported distress, left generous supplies
of food and water. These supplies Sand
ford would parcel out in small quanti-
ties, but would always provide hearty
meals for himself. Whitton attributes
the seven deaths on board largely to
these conditions.
On representation made by DR.. Charles
E. Bangs, superintendent OF the United
States Marine hospital and acting quar-
intine officer at this port, Federal investi-
CATION of Sanfords action in keeping
fifty-four people at sea in an improperly
provisioned ship is still pending. Assist
ant United States District Attorney Chap
man, who has heard the evidence of DR..
Banks, and the story of one of the Holy
Ghost seamen named Mckay, who had
deserted probably will bring action to-
morrow. Sanford, who was arrested yes
terday on a 5000 civil action brought
by Mrs. Florence N. Whitaker, OF this
city, who alleges illegal detention in 1910
on board the barkentine Kingdom, was
released on 5000 bail.
Mate Mckay, who served on the Coro-
net throughout its entire voyage and en-
countered all the hardships, left Leader
Sanford for good last night. When he
bade Sanford farewell the latter gave
him a s. bill.
TT would be hard to imagine the con-
ditions that prevailed aboard the Coro-
net" said Whitton to-day. I'VE were
always staring starvation in the face.
The Coronet drifted about over the
seas, with no destination, and little pros
pect, II often seemed, OF ever reaching
any port Sandford made no effort to
remedy the conditions. but managed to
keep in excellent condition himself Sour
Wy broke out, and the victims suffered
pitifully. We buried seven at sea. II
would have been an act Of mercy to put
them to, death. Some one is responsible
for these conditions, and should be made
to suffer.
