THOMAS w. LAWSON.

Thomas William Lawson is the full
name of the noted Boston financier
and author, who is the leader of the
haters Of Wall street, and there are
quite a number of them. The sophis-
ticated city man may jeer at Lawson
and call him muckraker and a
-"sore head" but the fact remains
that Lawson has been and still is the
idol of a multitude.
Mr.. Lawson was born 81 years ago
today in Charlestown, Mass, and was
educated in the public schools of
Cambridge. He began his career as
a banker and broker at the age of 8
when he became an office boy in a
Boston financial institution, and in
his young manhood entered business
for himself. From his youth he has
dabbled more or less in literature, his
earlier attempts consisting of verse
and short stories, some of which hs
sold to magazines. His first volume,
''The Krank,' was published about so
years ago, and was followed by a
| 'History of the Republican Party
| of which four copies were printed on
| satin-one for President Harrison,
| one for Vice President Morton, one for
the Library of Congress and one for the
author. He also published a collec-
| ton of his verse and fiction, and a
volume on Secrets of Success" but in
spite of these efforts he was practically
unknown until he began his famous
magazine series on "Frenzied Fl
nance.'/ His caustic criticisms OF
American financial methods, written
in a strong-arm style all his own
made him an international figure and
he has ever SINCE remained in the
| Iimelight.

is NEXT THING
TO AN AMERICAN

Among the applications received for
training in the merchant marine SER
vice. one letter was received from a
young man in this city by Special
Agent Hindle, stating that although he
was not an American he was next to
it, an Irishman, and wanted to be-
come a seaman. In his letter he said
that he had been all over the world
and had seen a little service at sea.
AS yet he is not enrolled.
Two more Bridgeport boys came
forward yesterday and signed up for
sea training. They are: Harry John
Ha1mick of lat North Washington

men seek to become oilers on mer-
