A LEADING ENGINEER.
Don j. Whittcmore Dead In Milwau
kee at Advanced Age of So.

Don j. Whittomore, distinguished
son of Vermont. died in Milwaukee.
Wis. Sunday night of tuberculosis in
his S6th year. Mr.. Whittcmore was
for many years one of the most
famous of the countrY's civil engi-
neers and one of the secrets of his
success may be found in an utterance
by which, in the transactions Of the
American Society of civil Engineers"
published some time ago, he introduced
the discussion of an important sub
ject. 1t was this unique and stril-
ingly original sentence: "The scrap
hcap-that inarticulate witness Of our
blunders and the sepulchre Of our
blasted hopes; the best but most hu-
initiating legacy we are forced to
leave to our successors-has always
been to me brimful of instruction."
Mr.. Whittemore was born in Milton
December c. 1880. Leaving Bakers
| field Academy when he was IT years
| Of age he became connected with the
engineering corps of the Vermont d
Canada Railroad company. and his
| proficiency in the science OF civil en-
cheering even at that early age is
| attested by the fact that when he was
10 years old he was appointed assist
ant engineer of the company. having
charge OF the construction Of the line
between Swanton and Rouses Point.
Subsequently he was connected with
the Great Western railway OF Can
ada. the Central Ohio railroad. La
Crosse &c Milwaukee railroad and the
Southern Minnesota railroad. Next he
spent year in Cuba, recovering his
health, and at tho same time engaging
in railroad work there. Returning to
Wisconsin in 1860. he again became
connected with the Lacrosse & Mil
waukee road, and four years later
when the road was merged into the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail-
road company, he became chief engi-
neer Of the latter system.
In the midst of his exacting railway
duties he found time. not only for gen
eral scientific research, but for specia
pursuits which have led up to impor-
tant developments. one Of which was
the discovery of tho hydraulic feature.
Of the rock deposits underlying a por-
ton of the city of Milwaukee. As &
result of his experiments it was fount
that n frst-class hydraulic cement
could be made from the rock. 4 com.
pany was formed which was soor
sending to the market upwards o
100000 barrels of cement every year.
In 1883 tho University Of Vernon
conferred on him the honorary degre,
Of civil engineer; n few years later tn
University Of Wisconsin made him
doctor of philosophy. and in 1895 tn
! same institution made him docto
e of laws. In 1884 no was president o

Liner Appam Which Was Thought on the Bot

Crew of Germans.
WAS CAPTURED BY MERCHANT RAIDER.
Most Amazing Story of the War so Far is Dis
closed When Twenty-Five Men Bring
in Three Hundred.

The Appam made its audacious
dash into port with the German flag
flutteIing at its staff, recalling the al.
most equally daring feats OF the Ger
man commerce raiders Kron Prinz
Wilhelm and Prince Eitel Friedrich.

The full story OF the Appam's cap

Her passengers were held on board
and no one permitted to leave the
ship until its status and that Of the
1865 passengers and 1874 crew, technical
prisoners of war during the trans-At-

That the Appam was waylaid, cap
tured and the prize crew OF twelve

pam was halted by the U boat to
avoid being torpedoed and to save the
lives of passengers and crew.

ANXIOUS TO SEE THE BRIDE
Large Crowd at Chicago Last Night Heard MIR.
Wilson Speak on Preparedness and
War Prospects.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-Feeling At after
a strenuous day yesterday, President
Wilson rose early today prepared to
resume his tour Of the central west
for preparedness. He had breakfast
with Mrs. Wilson at eight o'clock.
After seeing a number Of visitors at
the Blackstone hotel, he left shortly
before 10 o'clock for the Rock Island
station. ... F..
Today will be another full one for

will make speeches from the rear of
his car at Davenport. Iowa City. Grin
nell and Newton. He is to arrive at
Des Moines about z p. m.
= Last night Chicago had its first
good look at Mrs. Wilson. And Of the
1000 who packed the auditorium. it is
safe to say that every one fixed a
most searching gaze upon the new
first lady Of the land.
When the executive couple arrived
at the hall, hundreds Of opera glasses
were seen, pointing in the direction
Of Mrs. Wilson. And the mistress of
the white house bore the critical
examination smtlingly.
The president delivered what was
declared by many to be the most i'm
portant speech Of his political career.
In abounded in pointed paragraphs,
among which the following stood out
prominently:
Now no man can confidently say
whether the United States will be
drawn into the struggle or not. We
have one considerable arm of force,
namely the navy. We have made
preparations for immediate war so far
as the navy is concerned.
II have proposed to congress that
we build our own armor plant. l have
proposed to congress also that we
prepare to manufacture also NUM-
tions-not to drive other people out
of business, but merely to serve othes
people with notice that If necessary
we will manufacture all the muni-
tions we need.
1--WE are going to see that busi-
ness characterizes the processes of
national defense.
I'VE have not men enough in the
army for the routine work OF peace.
I'VE ought to make 1t the pride Of
