Evidently all Petersen was expect
ed to do was to sail the boat under
the direction of the owners, who ar
ranged matters with the inspectors.
When he went to the inspectors just
before the Western Electric eXcur-
sion to have the capacity increased to
$500, he went on orders from the
MAIN OFFICE.
Suppose he had asserted his man
hood and protested-he would have
been told to obey orders or get of the
job.
Captain Petersen was a wage slave,
He had to do what the MAIN OFFICE
wanted him to do. For the MAIN
OFFICE controlled his job.

CAPTAIN PEDERSEN.-The vari-
GUS Investigations, and, particularly
the Redfeld whitewash excursion,
seem to be working around toward
making Captain Petersen the goat
for the Eastland horror. In some of
the newspapers Captain Petersen is
quoted as saying:
''It formerly was the custom for
the captain to be in absolute control
Of his boat and the business carried
on by the vessel Now the captain
has nothing to say about the freight
passengers, crew or sailing. The only
man l had the power to employ was
my first mate. officials hired the en-
gineer and practically everything else
was handled from the MAIN OF
FTCE."
With the development of modern
business, 1 wouldn't be surprised if
Captain Petersen is right.
After government inspectors had
given permission to carry $500 pas
sengers, suppose the captain had pro-
tested to the Owners-his bosses
the main office-and refused to take
on that many. He would have lost
his job.
Suppose Captain Petersen had told
the engineer to do certain things
about the water ballast, and the en-
gineer had orders from the main Of
flee to do something else. Would the
engineer have paid any attention to
the captains orders? Not when the
MAIN OFFICE controlled the engi-
Reer's job.

THOSE LOVELY WHISPERS
When Secretary of Commerce Red
field breezed into Chicago fresh from
the seat of government at Washing
ton there was a general impression
that a real investigation was coming.
The people thought Uncle Sam would
get right down to business and that
the presidents orders for a thorough
and searching investigation would be
carried out.
The first shock came when Redfeld
began referring Chicago people to
Shakespeare and the Bible. Not that
they had anything against either, but
the people were not seeking expert
advice on what to read at this par
ticular crisis.
Then Redfeld appointed commits
sion. Well, the less said about that
commission the better. Anyhow, the
newspaper reporters began to see
only side-whiskers every time they
looked at RedfieId. And when report
ers study facial expression and see
only the ornamental galways well,
that's pretty near fatal
The attitude of Redfeld when he
began examining witnesses indicated
that he thought his department was
on trial and he was attorney for the
defense. And the repOTtOrial wind
blew through his Whiskers again

Is IL a pinotherium?

, It is refreshing now and then to get
away from daily consideration OF the
modern monsters of destruction and
renew a suspended acquaintance with
the behemoths of the earliest days.
Here, for instance, is the story
of the fossil survival of what may
have been a dinotherium, according to
the discoverer. 1t was dislodged, the
fossil was dislodged, from section OF
yellow clay Is feet below the street
level at St. George, Staten island.
The foreman of the excavating gang
saws the bones look nightly like an
elephants, but the finder scorns this
unprofessional opinion and sticks to
the dinotherium theory. What the
ubiquitous and fee-gathering coroner
will have to say may be known later
Anyway, the dinotherium-if that's
what they decide to call it's calcu-
lated to give stated New York a rest
from wars alarms and bomb outrages
and scandal stories, which can be re-
garded as a contamination devoutly to
be approved.

RATHER ROUGH ON FATHER
Daughters Remark Might Have Been
Construed UnkindIy by the
Casual Listener.

Since Fred had become sopho-
more, and was therefore a college
man." he had given himself patron
;zing airs toward Sister May. who
had been his guide, philosopher and
friend during boyhood. Vexed by his
haughtiness, she was numerically
quizzing him the other evening at
dinner.
HAS our man made up his mind, -"
she inquired, "as to what profession
he will honor after a while?"
"Why, yes, little one" Fred re-
sponded, with his most aggravating
smile. 81 have made up my mind to
be a doctor, like grandfather and IA

fully.

"Well, you'll never be great sur
geon, like father" May insisted.
Again, why not?" Fred smiled,
condescendingly.
"You a surgeon like father!" May
cried, vehemently. 'Why, you big
softly, you couldn't even kill fiy!"
Nobody but father caught the sig
nificance of the remark, and somehow
he didn't mention it.

HAS FAMOUS PANTRY
MOST WOMEN WOULD ENVY
QUEEN MARYS TREASURES.
Besides Possessing Great Historic In
terest, Their Financial Value Is
Enornous-Some Marveis of
Workmanship There.

Among the famous pantries of the
world is that of Queen Mary at Wind
sor. This pantry comprises two rooms
of no great dimensions, but it contains
treasures in the form of plate and
household articles that are valued at
more than a million pounds sterling.
Many of these possess historic inter
est. For example, there is con-
spicuous exhibit in the form of a
table of solid silver This is nearly a
yard in length, and its top, with an
area Of several square feet, bears the
royal arms and exquisitely chased de-
signs of the symbolic rose, thistle,
harp, etc. Every reign since that Of
Elizabeth has contributed to this
table design of some sort.
The most imposing of all the daz-
cling array of plate is the so-called
gold dinner service for occasions Of
the highest state.
The walls of the two rooms of this
royal pantry, the larger of which is 80
feet by 16 feet, and the smaller
of plate glass and mahogany, and in
these and similar cases, occupying
the center of each room, are some Of
the most extraordinary examples of
art in gold, silver and precious stones
that the world has ever seen.
There are tall, graceful epergnes,
each of which would tax the strength
of two men to lift it; there are dishes
in gold and silver, any one of which
would be too heavy to run away with;
yer, candelabra, communion services,
fiagons, vases, punch bowls, wine cool
ers, fountains and fonts in silver,
wrought in designs of great beauty by
the most skillful artists.
The most beautiful of all these, it
is said, is the Nautilus vase, fash
toned, it is claimed, out of pearl, gold
and silver by the hands of Benvenuto
Cellini, himself, although it bears the
name Of an artist Of Nuremberg, Mich
olas Schmidt. The shell, which is OF
pearl, mounted in silver and gold Of
the most delicate chasing, is poised
on the shoulders of superbly mount
ed horseman, and above the pearl she'll
another figure is throned.
Another marvel of workmanship is
the rose water fountain in silver, with
it's dome supported by columns, around
which are grouped horses and hounds.
In point of interest it would be diff
cult to picture any article of the kind
more artistically perfect than the
silver-gilt fiagon, that was rescued
from the armada more than three hun
dred years ago. This fiagon is yard
high and it's value runs far into the
thousands.
One of the historic bits that are
highly priced is a quaint pair of bel
lows, mounted in silver and gold, that
once belonged to Nell Gwynn. There
are ponderous silver "firedogs" of the
time of Charles II, and near by is an
enormous punch bowl, contributed by
George Nv as an example of the art or
Flaxman.

It was in the good old days of the
early nineties when horse racing -four
ished under a kindlier law in New
York than it does today that Tom
Eagan had the distinction of being Off
cial stationer and printer to the book
makers and poolrooms of the city. He
supplied them with pencils and pads,
blank books, ink and record books and
did whatever printing their business
called for. He it was who printed the
colored tickets issued to those who
bet on the races in the poolrooms or
on the track. These tickets, which
were filed in at the time of the bet
ting, served as a record of the transac-
ton, and in case the bettor was lucky
he received his winnings on present A

Peyser sHid he would get the photo

the pr stIext of wanting to do some

This agreed upon, Peyser went to

eled the camera at the dishonest
printer and Peyser continued to talk
vigorously.
Unable to get the right focus from
the bootblack stand, the photographer
swung down and started out in the
street. Then he rested his camera on
the wheel of an express wagon that
happened to be standing at a conven-
lent distance and started to focus
again.

''who is that fellow over there and
why is he 'mugging' me? What have
