ToDAY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY.
(By o. Terenee.)
John Hays Hammond, so Today, Pre-
diets Speedy End Of War.

John Hays Hammond, the multi
millionaire mining engineer, will
round out the sixtieth year of his
adventurous life today, having been
born IN San Francisco on the last day
OF March, 1865. Mr.. Hammond re-
Gently predicted that the war would
soon come to an end, and added that
he did not share the apprehension
of those who believe that very long
time will be required for the rehabita-
ton of the industries of the warning
nations.
Mr. Hammond has been and is con-
sulting engineer to some of the great
est mining corporations, and has ex-
amined properties in all parts of the
world. His son, John Hays Hammond,
Jr., has shown great ability as an
inventor, and in his laboratory at
Gloucester. Mass, he has lately car
ried on experiments in telautomatics
the power to direct or control from
distance mechanical movements by
means of wireless wayes-which he
confidently expects will revolutioniZe
warfare.
The elder Hammond is the son of
an officer of the United States army,
and his career as a mining engineer
and soldier of fortune has been as
exciting and full of thrills as the life
OF a soldier. In 1893 Mr.. Hammond
went to South Africa as consulting
engineer to the Barnato interests, and
later entered the service of Cecil
Rhodes, the African empire builder.
He became q close friend and staunch
supporter of the immortal English
man. Mr.. Hammond was one of the
leaders in the reform movement in
the Transvall 20 years ago. He was
not in sympathy with the jameson
arid, but after that Inflated expedi.
ton he was arrested by order OF Dom
Paul Kruger and thrown into jail. He
was tried in a Boer court and con.
demned to death. The gallows on
which he was to be hanged had been
built when influential friends in Eng
land and America induced Dom Paul
to commute the sentence to imprison-
ment for Is years. Later to was re-
leased on payment of a fine os
$125,0 900.
Mr.. Hammond has been prominently
mentioned as Republican candidate
for vice president in two campaigns
On one occasion he consflted to run
for that nomination, but withdrew his
name before the convention. He was
the special ambassador of 2he United
States at the coronation Of King
George V. Mr.. Hammond has been
called "the little man with the big
BRAIN" which aptly describes his ply
