formally set this month.
Around Herdman is woven an in
teresting story. He came to this
country practically penniless. His
early life in America was spent as
an itinerant glazer. He was unable
to sign his own name. However, by
shrewd business dealings In this
city he acquired several valuable
realty plots.
- 1t was his ambition, he often told
friends, to own the site at the north
west corner of Canal and Royal
streets, now occupied by a branch
of one Of the chain cigar stores.
Later he bought the place, now esti-
mated to be worth 5000, 900.
The remainder Of Herdman's deals
were made in the Red Light" dis
trict of New Orleans, which brought
him the name Of King Of the Ten

one of the most unique legal bat

Back in 1916, Ike Herdman, popu'

of his property, worth more than
100000 to his wife and children in
Russia.
The civil authorities, however,
were stumped. In the first place,
they found that Herdman had left
his family thirty-five years before
his death. There was no means of
communication with Russia, at that
time deep in the great World War
conflict. So the matter rested, until
recently.

U. OF VA. is ALL READY

Charlottesville, Va, Nov. 3-With a
light workout this afternoon Virginia
viii complete her preparations for the
game with Washington and Lee to-
morrow afternoon. Practically every
thing is in readiness for the contest,

Yesterday afternoon the entire stu

days Coaches Campbell and Abel have
not been driving the men hard, but
have been running them through some
of the fundamentals of football as
we'll as through signal practice.
Side by side the Virginia regulars
have a slight edge on the Generals
in the matter Of weight but on the
score of experience the boys from
Lexington have been in the game
much longer that the wearers of the

Five of the varsity squad are on
the crippled list, but the remaining

battle, according to Head Coach Camp

In the Generals the Orange and

The man who was pacing restlessIy

was the man who, to most people, bod
led forth the life underlying all other
commerce Whereabouts but the least
known, the life of the lakes.
The lakes, which mark unmistak-
ably those who get their living from
them, had put their marks on him.
Though he was slight in frame with a
spare, almost ascetic leannesS, he had
the wiry strength and endurance of
the man whose youth had been passed
upon the water. He was very close
to sixty now, but his thick, straight
hair was still Jet black except for a
slash of pure white above one temple
his broWS were black above his deep
blue eyes. His acquaintance, in ex-
planning him to strangers, said he had
lived too much by himself of late; he
and one man servant shared the great
house which had been unchanged-and
in which nothing appeared to have
needed replaCing-since his wife left
him, suddenly and unaccountaby
about twenty years before. People
said he looked more French, referring
to his father who was known to have
been a skin-hunter north of Lake SUI
periOr in the sos but who later mar
ried an English girl at Mackinac and
settled down to become a trader in the
woods of the North peninsula, where
Benjamin COrvet was born.
During his bOyhoOd men came to the
peninsula to cut timber; young Corvet
worked with them and began building
ships. Thirty-fve years ago he had
been only one of the hundreds with
his fortune in the fate of single bot
tom; but today in Cleveland, in Du-
luth, in Chicago, more than score
of great steamers under the names of
