Recently President Vail said to the
present writer that as soon as the policy
of the government with respect to cleo

vances and economies on far greater
scale than those which have already
characterized the telephone and tele-

Electric Energy Is Such That Enor-

the Power Plants for
Economic Production
BY HOLLAND

New York, September -(Special.)-An
ADDRESS recently delivered by Frank A.
Vanderlip, president of the National City
bank, before meeting of representatives
of the electrical industry of the United
States, seems to have fixed attention
definitely and decidedly upon the relation
OF electricity to almost all departments
of American industry to far greater ex-
tent than have the statements made with
In few years BY President Coffin of the
great electrical works at Schenectady, by
George Westinghouse, of the great works
of Pittsburg, by Theodore N. Vail presl-
dent of the Telephone and Western Union
Telegraph companies, and by Thomas a..
Edison at various times.
These four who have made the great
achievements in the utilization of cleo
tricity for nearly all forms of commercial
energy are men of science as we'll as mon
of business. Eacn of them has in public
addresses and in published articles spoken
of the advent Of the age of electricity as
the chief agent in the production of power
and in the instant communication of in
telligence. Yet what these men have
said. occasioned no great comment. There
seemed to be needed a communication
from "a man associated with large finan-
cial undertakings. who was able to speak
of the electrical industry from the point
OF view OF finance and of new capital, TO
divert some part of the interest recently
centered in tariff and currency discussion
at Washington and in the crops to this
comparatively .iew industry.
Slow to Grasp Meaning
1t Is fact that some of the bankers
have been SLOW to grasp the meaning OF
the work done by President Coffin
George Westinghouse. Thomas A. Edison
and President Vail. Edison discovered
some years ago that the Wall street bank
ers did not look with particular favor
upon the proposition for financing some
OF the Edison properties. He was, &C.
cording to his statement, turned down
somewhat peremptorily and somewhat
condescendingly by some of those who
were directing the very banks of which
Mr. Vanderlip is now president But

public schools. The kind of books and the
number of books and the price is fixed
by the state school book commission

the powerful banking influence of J. p.
Morgan & Co., which he found always
ready to support him In any of his poll
cfes. MIR. Westine ehouse, was not always
SO fortunate in his relations with bank
ers of the financial district of this city.
And he occasionally found that they were
not disposed to give favorable hearing to
propositions involving financing of certain
electrical properties. Edisons one ex-
perience in Wall street was sufficient,
and it was not till after he had gained
very large personal fortune and after
he had been abundantly supported by
bankers who do no business In New York
that he found the New York bankers had
changed with opinion about the FEAST
bility to financing his propositions.
Vanderlip's Prediction
This former attitude of the bankers,
however, is apparently completely
changed. Otherwise President vanderlip
would not have ventured to state to rep
resentatives of the electrical interests of
the United States that the time had now
come when no man with capital who was
desirous of securing larger return from
his investment than he could obtain from
government securities could with wisdom
refrain from studying public utilities in
vestments.
Mr. vanderlip himself must have given
the careful study which is characteristic
of him to the financial needs which the
uti1ization of electric energy within the
next five years will entail for he stated
IN specific terms that at least SS0o0,000 a
week, or Si00,J00,0J0 year. could be wisely
and proftably utilized. If the money could
be found, for the next five wears in
financing the electrical development of
the United States. In other words. at
least S2.OO0,000 00Df If as much money as
that can be secured could with advan-
tage to the people and that of the inyes-
tors be placed in the securities of cor
porations whose product is electric energy
or the utilization of electricity for the in
stant communication of Intelligence.
These are figures which appear to have
focused the attention of the country
upon the advent of the electric era. Yet
four Years ago Mr.. Westinghouse in an
address delivered at Atlanta, Ga. fore
cast electrical achievements not in terms
of money, but in terms of wealth-that
is to say, of the creation of new property
on scale of magnitude larger than tha [
suggested by Mr. Vanderlip,s figures.
Edison has many times in recent years
predicted that provided capital can be
found, the United States will within a few
years be using electricity largely almost
exclusively, for energy for light, for do
mestic purposes end for the swift COM
munication of intelligence.

Admission, September 15.-(SpeciaL }
A few weeks ago when Richard Bur-
ton Harrison was made governor gen
eral of the Philippine Islands old res
idents of Admission recalled that he was
member of the staff of General
Frank, camp commandant, during the
days of Camp shipp at Anniston Just
after the Spanish-American war, when

diers We're encamped here. 1t is now
recalled that Adolph S. Kline, who has
succeeded Mayor Gaynor as chief mag
istrate of the city of New York, was
also in Admission at that time as lieu
tenant-colonel of the Fourteenth New
York.
Colonel Kline came to Admission from
Chattanooga, where he was eneamped
at Chickamauga. While en- route on the
train the soldier boys became impatient
with the slow speed being made by
the train and Colonel Kline old the
engineer that he could make better
time. He was given the cab right
of way and, opening the throttle and
turning on full steam, the engine shot
forward at high speed. other officers
protested, but Colonel Kline refused to
dismount his seat and the train pulled
into Admission ahead of its posted sched-
ule.

Press Changes Its Front.

From the Spectator.


An incident that occurred in the expe-
rience OF an English officer illustrates
the calmness and Indifference to death
and bodily danger characteristic of the
Turkish soldier.
The officer, accompanied by a guard of
Turkish soldiers, went to the edge of a
cliff overlooking the sea to shoot at a
seal that he saw disporting itself in the
water below. He fired a good many times
and the last shot had gone very near the
bobbing mark, when one of the soldiers
came 10 him and politely asked: do
you not think sir. that you have fired
often enough at Serst. Hussuf? The
supposed seal was indeed the sergeant.
Presently the sergeant came ashore.
put on his clothes and came up the cliff
similingly The officer apologized hand
somely and blamed himself freely. But
Yussuf, like his companions, did not
think there was much to be concerned
about. After all. the mark had been
very small, it was natural to fire at it,;
1t was unlikely that the officer would hit
it, and he (YussuD had not minded it at
all.
