From Senate to Cabinet
and Back Again
By Holland

Since 1880 three elections have been
made OF United States Senators in
each case the Senator returning to a
seat which he had vacated earlier
having accepted portfolios in Presi-
dental cabinets. My attention was
called to this interesting and some
what strange feature of political life
by Gen. Thomas l. James, who was
en- associate Of William Window ia
the cabinet of President Garfield and
for a time in that Of President Arthur.
Gen. James said to me that he
thought Window had, after all, the
most varied career as Senator and
cabinet officer excepting John c. Cal
houn. Calhoun was twice a cabinet
officer. both before and after he had
served in the United States Senate,
and had also been Vice-Presiden5 of
the United States in Andrew Jack
sons first administration.
! Calhoun changed more frequently
/ in official relations with the govern
ment than any other American citi-
zen," said Gen. James. but | think
next to him the record of William
I Window is the most remarkable. My
relations with Mr.. Window we're very
/, close although ! did not know him
until after we both became members
/ of Gen. Garheld's cabinet After he
was called to the cabinet Of President
I BENJAMIN Harrison as Secretary of
the Treasury. I met him one after
noon and we had a pleasant httle
chat said to him that he had served
as United States Senotor before he be.

As if two wives were to be brought into

wv.

Sixty-tWo years ago today the first
practical power fire engine was DEM
Onstrated in Cincinnati. 1t was the
invention of Moses Latta and was con-
structed in a machine shop in that
city. From the days of the "sevel
cohorts" of ancient Rome with their
red vessels and hand pumps, men had
fought fire only by hand. George
Braithwaite built the first power fire
engine, but it vas a failure. Latta's
successful invention with the organi-
cation of a paid city fire department
which it made possible, was due to
Miles Greenwood, chief of the Cincia-
natl fire department. When the en-
CINE was taken to it's first fire the
volunteer fire companies did their best
to destroy it; but the citizens of Gin
cinnati rallied in a body to it's rescue.
Boston was the next city to have a
fire engine.

New York, December rs ~ Kate
Cobb, convicted in 1878 Of the muir
der of her husband, in Norwich, COM
pleted today, her first week Of free
dom after nearly thirty-six years in
the Connecticut State prison, at
Wetnersf1eld. In this week she has
marvelled in her first use of many in
ventions which others have for years
taken as a matter of course. Her
first experience was a ride from the
prison to Hartford in Warden Ward
"A. Gamers automobile, The second
was the use Of a telephone, and then
came perhaps the greatest marvel OF
all, a visit to a movilg-picture show.
In addition to these there were the
hundred and one little comforts and
conveliences to which we have be-
come so accustomed that it seems
hardly possible that they did not ex-
list a third of a century ago. SKI y.
From the very first day Of her COM
mitment to the State prison on a life
sentence Mrs. Cobb was q model pris-
oner and soon, won the sympathy o.
the prison officials as we'll as that OF
the most constant visitors from tae
outside world. She has always as.
serted that: she did not kill her hus'
band, Charles II. Cobb, whose murder
in Norwich was the sensation Of an
older generation in Connecticut.
Several times she had appealed for
pard. n, but the Board of. Pardons Goa
sistently rejected her petitions. She
became discouraged, but a friend
cheered her up, and three weeks ago
she appealed again. A fortnight later
a special messenger brought the order

Released Prisoner
Finds New World
Kate Cobb, Sentenced for Life and Pardoned, Sees Automobile and
Telephone for First Time; Greatest Surprise Was the Moving
Picture. #5N#w a#M. ,- r
/. ------
HAD SPENT So YEARS IN JAIL

for her release to the warden, and the
same afternoon she was outside of the
prison walls which has defined the
limits of her life for SO long.
Although MIS-. Cobb has a son and
two married daughters living in Con-
necticut, the first place she went upon
leaving prison was to the home of a
woman whose friendship she made
eighteen years ago.. Indeed, it vas
learned during the course Of the last
week that her son had actually OPP
posed her release. 1t is understood
that at a previous session of the
Board of Pardons a very bitter letter
was read. 1t was signed MRS. o. D.
Fuller, sister of c. H. Cobb, Jr.," and
contained the statement that he had
urged his. sister to use her influence
in preventing the release of their
mother. The other sister, Mrs. Luther
Spaulding, of Lebanon, Conn, sought
her mothers release, and 1t is with her
that Mrs. Cobb Is now staying.
Mrs. Cobb was thirty-one years old
when she was sent to prison and now
she comes out again at the age of
sixty-six, although she looks at least
a dozen years younger than that. She
is slender and well above the medium
height for women, and her hair is only
slightly touched with gray. She longs
to get out into the quiet of the .coua-
try, and spend her last years in the
open where she can enjoy her new
freedom .qndisturbed, BY, the curious.
When asked II she vas going to write
about her experience in prison or
about any phase of prison life, her
reply was a firm negative. Publicity
is the last thing she would try to get.
