FAME AND'FATE
GOT HIS GOAT
lanes Frederick Swift Was Slow in
Discovering a Real
Success.
Third hosr-Eleyenth st

Fate is a queer think any way ana
plays odd pranks on people when least
expected. James Frederick Swift was
one of the men who fell foul of fate. He
was a composer and well known as a
baritone singer. His songs, however,
seemed to lack the punch required to
get over as John J. McGraw would
say.
One day he seated himself at the church
organ and began improvising. The mel
ody seemed to suggest the sea and he
dotted the notes down lest he should for
get Then he added words of his own
to the melody and played the newest
child of his brain over and over again.
The song sounded good, but he recalled
the ridicule his friends had heaped upon
all his other attempts at song writing,
so he decided to bring out this new piece
under an assumed name.
Godfrey Marks sounded to him like a
perfectly good name, so he placed on the
title page of Sailing this line: words
and music by Godfrey Marks" The
song was a regular whirlwind. instantly
catching the public fancy. Sailing is
one of the real Songs That Never Grow
Old" The name of James Frederick
Swift is only found in encyclopedias but
the name of Godfrey Marks is writ
large on fame's eternal tablets. Sail

DENIES CRISIS FACES

Clifford Thorn Protests Against 5

CLAIMS ROADS on GOOD BASIS

On behalf OF the railroad commissions
of eight Western States-Iowa. North
Dakota, South Dakota. Kansas, Ne
braska. Oklahoma, Arkansas and Mis-
sCuri-Clifford Thorn, chairman of the
railroad commission of Iowa. yesterday
before the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion protested against the increase of 3
per cent in freight rates i'm Eastern terri
tory. He claimed that the railroads in
the territory asking for the increase were
in receipt of more net and gross income
than at any previous time in their his
tory and that they have been maintain
ing their properties better during recent
years than ever before.
Altogether, Mr.. Thorn took a far more
optimistic view of the railroad situation
than any witness so far heard by the
commission in connection with the pro-
posed increased rates.
We will be able TO prove TO YOU CON-
c.usively that there is no crisis whatever
in the railroad business" said Mr. Thorn,
which Will prevent a denial OF this per
cent advance proposed by the railroads
to be followed by an intelligent. orderly,
fair investigation of the whole subject of
special services as applied to the various
changes that may. be subject to investi-
cation and ruling by the Commission.
The best interests OF the shippers and
consumers of the United States demand
that a reasonable profit shall be given to
the owners of our railroad properties.
Anything short OF that would not be Just
to the stockholders owning these proper
ties.
AT this time We are unable to decide
the reasonableness Of the return on the
present value of these railroad proper
ties. because We do not know what that
present value is. But We can consider
the trend OF affairs-we can consider the
tendency of capital issues and dividends
and earnings.
AT this time the carriers must neces-
sarily rest their entire case on present
tendencies"

Admits That He Was In 81
Bomb Outrages, Many of
Them Fatal.
By international News Service.


ArEW YORK, Feb. o.-Profcssional
mi criminologsts are exhibiting
" deep interest in Alfred Lehman,
the 2S-year-old gangstcr who has
astounded the most hardened detectives
in headquarters by his confessions Of
how he participated in thirty-two bomb
outrages that mystiied the police dur
ing the year Of 1918.
Lehman is "squealing" on "the
bunch because he became convinced
that they were going to "throw him
down. when he was arrested in New
Jersey several months ago. He de-
clares he was member of an organ
lied band of blackmailers, who reaped
harvest by frightening money out of
wealthy retail merchants on the east
side.
The method used by the gang, accord
ing TO Lehman, was to send threaten
ing letter to the prospective victim,
warning him that if he did not pay over
certain amount of money his store
would be blown up, Ii the merchant
refused to succumb, n small bomb would
be placed near the store, An explosion
resulting in little damage was usually
all that was required to compel the
terror stricken victim to surrender the
money demanded. If the merchant
chose to be stubborn n second and more
powerful bomb was placed III his
building which would then be totally
wrecked by the explosion, endangering
the lives Of all occupants.
Lehman. admitted that he was the
man selected to place the bombs because
he chad the nerve" and never wor-
ricd about the possibility of killing peo-
pie He declared the gang also had a
fixed scale of rates for proprietors of
business who desired to have their
places blown up or fred so that they
might collect insurance, He said that
the taking of human life concerned
him no moro than killing an insect.
