BR|TON'S RAPID RISE
Sir RUFUS ISaacS' Failure as
Broker Made Him Lawyer
Spectacular Career of Man Who is
Now Lord Chief Justice Of Eng
Iand-AbIe Advocate but Not
Much on Debate.

LOndon-Sir Rufus isaacs, the new
lord chief justice, is a surprising man,
says a London writer To start ones
career by making sad hash OF things
on the stock exchange and TO hnlsh
ss lord chief justice of England
every generation a few people achieve
careers as remarkable and there Is
nothing out of the way in a mans be-
coming lord chief justice if his IN
clinationS are of that kind. But Oh
those who rise TO eminence few have
pursued so incalculable a path. Less
than year ago there was quite con
siderable demand for his expulsion
from public life; today he sits su-
preme over Britain judges.
Sir Rufus early experiences on the
stock exchange before he embraced
the more lucrative profession OF poll
tics and the bar, were entirely TO MS
credit as a man. Ii unhattering TO his
abilities as a stock broker. He might
have taken that first essay as proof
that he was never meant for success
as d tinancier and so avoided his re-
cent misfOrtunes. His original incllna-
ton was to become a sailor, and once,
| believe, he was on the point of run
ming away to sea in quite the grand
manner of romance. But wiser coun-
sells prevailed and he went by way OF
the stock exchange to the bar. | we'll
remember him as a practicing barrls-
ter. There was something birdlike
about his aspect in wig and gown.
an agile alertness, a swift, clean keen
ness that made him stand out from
the row of barristers in court like a
bold pen drawing against background
of gray wash. Commerce was his spe-
cialty. Vanity Fair once cartooned
him in the typical attitude Of a
Diapers assistant, with a pile of black
bundles on the counter in front OF
him.
Unmoved patience. astonishing grasp
of detail and great ingenuity in cross
examination were his assets at the
bar. His formidable rival, Sir Ed
ward Carson, succeeds by crushing
the opposition witnesses and by the
vigor of the speeches TO the jury. The
method of Sir Rufus was more suave.
His appeal was always to the intelli-
gence OF the jury rather than to its
emotions He accumulated a great

been filed with gold by dentist. The
hunter capturing the coon is conceded
the best hunter.
Nearly seven hundred persons par
ticipated in the events at the camp of
the Randolph County Coon club. Five
squads of hunters with more than one
hundred hounds left camp at 10 o'clock
at night and plunged into the sycamore
forest on Elk Fork Creek.
Goltra had the distinction of bring
ing down the first coon. He. with
Judge Charles Clark and Judge Thorn
as J. Seehern. also had the unenviable
distinction of remaining in the dense
woods all night, losing their way and
forcing the party TO walk TO Evans

hunting preserves since 1890 following
a disappointment in love. His clothes
are of fur from rabbits. foxes, coons
and possums. He had made but one
trip to a large city in his life, that be-
ing in 1883, when he went to St Louis
to buy d wooden leg.

Everybody is weary of the affair
Marconi, but it is impossible, in re-
view of the life of the man who Is
now lord chief justice, to ignore 1t
altogether Sir Rufus Isaac's speech
a year ago, when he denied the stories
of his dealings in the shares OF the
company that was contracting with
the government, undoubtedly made a
very deep impression on the house.
After hearing it ! personally went
away prepared to swear that he had
never had any sort of dealings in any
sort of Marconi shares.
OF course, he did not say that.
Looking the speech up in Hansard,
after the rest of the story came out,
il was possible TO see with what care
full lawyer-like precision he had not
said it, But the unfortunate fact was
that while saying nothing that was
not entirely true, he had left his hear
ers with the erroneous impression
that he had bought no Marconi shares.
And the wrath of the members when
the whole facts became public caused
the cabinet of which he was a member
a great deal of anxiety.
1t blew over He and his colleague,
the chancellor, had acted carelessiy,
heedlessly, mistakenly" as Mr.. Lloyd
George put it, but not criminally and
by passing no vote of censure the
house accepted their explanation.
While the transaction was innocent

Rufus that clear sighted, we'll bal

opinion.
Though unimposing in style, Sir
Rufus is distinguished in appearance.

work Of fire prevention and control
All agencies are working on the
theory that it is much easier to stop
fire before it gets going well than
to control it after it is in full swing.
Discussing the question of fire pro-
lection, Henry S. Graves. chief Of the
forest service, said:
State foresters and western lum-
bermen's associations are in many IN
stances cooperating with the forest
service in fire patrol work and fire
fighting. The forest service is each
year building miles of new fire trails,
telephone lines and lookout stations,
and each year the fire danger will be-
come comparatively less imminent, to
the degree that such preventive meas
ures can be carried out. But this work
Is limited, of course, by the size OF
the fire-control appropriation. A num-
Der of fires already have caused heavy
loss and can be indirectly traced to

his release from the penitentiary. &C
cording to letters, documents and pc
titions he has, and he says it will
keep him out permanently. Schroe-
der, who served a term in San QUEEN
tin penitentiary, forged a SO check
in Spokane in August. 1912. and his
previous record served to get him
the heaviest punishment-an indeter-
inmate sentence running to 20 years.
At the penitentiary he resumed the
study of music that he left off years
before on the outside.
When the German Saengerfest was

passed on the national forests with
less damage than ever recorded.
Immunity from fire loss has been
due to two principal causes-partly
to favorable season. but more large
ly to greatly improved organization
for fire prevention than has been here
tofore attained. By means of the i'm
proved organization it was possible
during the past season to locate fires
more readily and get forest officers to
them more quickly than ever before.
The forest service believes fire pre-
vention to be a much more effective
way of reducing fire damage than by
fighting fires after they have attained
dangerous proportions. The effective
ness of the new organization is proved
by the fact that there were in all
$3.50 fires reported in the national
forests during the season just closed,
as against 2,470 last year. yet only
about 10000 acres were burned over
this year, compared with 100000 acres
in 1912 and 100000 acres in 1911.
The banner year for fire damage
was 1910, when millions of acres were
burned over and wide damage done.
Since that time long strides have been
made in the way of improved protec-
ton and fire prevention. Great i'm
provements are made from year 20

One of the most effective methods
of preventing extensive forest fires
has been put in use within the last
year by the forest service. By a care

His parliamentary record is known.
He got in for Reading in 1904, achieved
in rapid succession the positions of
solicitor general and attorney general.
and in 1912 was promoted to the cab
inet-an honor very rarely bestowed
on an attorney general 1t may seem
paradoxical to call a man with such a
tally of political successes a parlia-
mentary failure. yet that is what Sir
Rufus most distinctly is-or was.

Heroin, the consumption of which
