The failure of the Northern bank of
New York for $S,0OO,00O and the story
of Joseph G. Robins career in New
York is the story of the gold-filled
streets Of America that lures the am
bilious of Europe here. Sixteen years
ago he was a penniless immigrant,
with perhaps half-dozen words of
English at his command. For the past
year he has had a controlling voice in
three banks, two bonding companies,
two real estate development compar
MES and two traction roads.
A Russian by birth, Robin came to
the United States as Joseph Rabino-
WITT. He was about twenty-five years
old then, and is now about thirty
eight He came to this country alone,
and he is still single and without rela

America he fixed upon journalism as

THE NEW SENATOR FROM OHIO

The election Of a United States SEN
ator from Ohio, to succeed Senator
Dick. precipitated n lively contest
which ended only with the selection
OF Atlee Pomerene of Canton, Mckin

one of the hottest senatorial cam
paigns i'll the history Of the state.
Mr.. Pomerene = a lawyer and ls
forty-seven years old. He is a native
OF the state, a graduate Of Princeton
and has been practicing attorney
since 1886. He has held the Office of
city solicitor and prosecuting attorney
and was the most formidable rival of
Harmon for the nomination for COVER
nor. He was forced to accept second
place, however, and was elected lieu
tenant governor.
Mr. Pomerene is married and his
wife is one of Ohio's popular and cui
tured women, who will no doubt be
warmly welcomed to senatorial circles

A NEW PAVING COM
PANY ENTERS FIELD
Universal Construction Co. Proposes
to Pave With Ell OsO Asphaltic Ce-
ment Hard.Surface Pavement.

The articles recently filed with the
secretary of state, incorporating the
UNIVERSAL CONSTRUCTION CO.,
of Portland, with a capital stock of
$150,0O0, is of local interest, owing to
the connection of Frank w. Waters
.of this city as manager of the new
company. Mr.. Waters, while mayor
Of Salem, and under whose adminis-
tration the first paving was done in
the Capital City, has made a study Of
the question of hard-surface pave
ment. He has realized that the cost
of pavement has been too high. The
demand for cheaper material en-
bodying all the qualities of the best
hard-surface pavement.
The UNIVERSAL CONSTRUCTION
Co. is a new paving concern to enter
the field. While 1t is in the market
to lay any kind of pavement, the COM
pany is offering to the public a brand
known throughout the United States
as the Gel OSO ASPHALTIC CE-
MENT." Leading municipal engi-
neers Of all the big cities Of the
country endorse the durability and
wearing qualities of Ell oso pave
ment.
The company believes the time
has arrived to give the property own
ers a cheaper hard-surfaced pave
ment, and one that will bear the clos
est investigation of its merits.
The first bid for business made by
the Universal Construction Co. was
at the recent meeting of the city
council, when the company was the
lowest bidder out of seven different
hard-surface firms present.
While the Ell Oso is a cheaper
pavement it is none the less the best
pavement in use in the United States
today Actual experience demon
strates this. A sample of the Ell Oso

Chiffon GETS
LONG AND WATSON
THE SHORT TERM

Charleston, W. Va, Jan. 25.-At a
joint session of the legislature today,
with the senate Republicans absent,
and the house Republicans refraining
from voting, w. E. Chiffon was elect
ed for the long term as United States
senator, receiving II votes. Clarence
Watson was elected for the short
term.
Ten Democrats refused to support
Watson, and cast their votes for 9TH
er candidates, as the result of the
charges that bribery had been used
to compass his election.
The election of Chiffon and Wat
son Yves carried through in pursu-
ance of an agreement entered into in
Cincinnati between Governor Glass
cock, Of West Virginia. In return
for the re-seating of State Senator
Hearne, whom the Democrats had
ousted, the Republicans agreed to al
low the organization of the legisla-
ture, and the election of the two Dem
ocratic candidates to the United
States senate.
