Dramatic Career of w. J.
Oliver; Pathetic Figure

Panama canal. Oliver had made such
an impression upon the then secre-
tary of war that the latter had rec
commended giving him the contract,
with the condition that he should put
up $10,000,000 bond; and this Oil
yer was getting ready to do when the
administration of Mr.. Taft came in
and decided to have the canal work
done by the government engineers
themselves instead of by private con-
tract. The adoption of this policy
by President Taft was bitterly re-
sented by Oliver, who from that time
labored with might and main to en-
compass the 'fat" executives down
fall and did everything in his power
20 boost the Roosevelt movement
which split the G. 0. P. so hopelessly
in 1912.
HAS CLAIM OF 81, 100000
The circumstances which have
brought Oliver before congress with
claim of nearly $1,5O0,O0O, which
the house committee has reduced to
$4,000 as the only portion of
(which the national lawmakers could
properly handle by legislation, are
sufficiently exciting. 1t seems that

of Knoxville, which the calims COM
mittee describes as having at that
time one of the best equipped and
mn 70 do+o rlaptc in tho couptrIy bo n
a contract in 1918 for the manufac-
ture of shells for the United States
government. The concern said to
have been worth about 100000
was managed and practically owned
by William j. Oliver. 1t was making
large profits on the contract for
munitions On the fourth of October
1918, according to the hearings in
the case, the United States govern
ment, without warning, threw cor
don of cavalry around the plant,
stationed guards with revolvers at
every entrance and exit, cut the tele-
phone wires, seized all the papers
and records Gncluding, it is said
$4,000 in Liberty bonds), arrested
Oliver and nine of his assistants
without allowing them any opportun-
ity to make a list of the papers taken
or to consult with attorneys, and
proceeded to operate the plant I'M
der the war power conferred by con-
gress on the government. Oliver
and his associates arrested with him
were indicted in the federal court on
the charge of having conspired to de-
fraud the government by making de-
fective shells.
AS Oliver was going to court to
appear in the case a few weeks aft
er his arrest he was run over by a
truck and so badly injured that he
was paralyzed and has been an in
valid ever since, according to the
hearings. His corporation is bank
rupt, his railroad was sold for $780,
900, and the manufacturing plant
did not bring enough at auction to
pay its obligations.
CHARAGES THORWN OUT
Inc charges against OllVef ana MS
associates, when the case came to
trial, were thrown out by the judge
that is, those of them which were
not voluntarily mol pressed by the
district attorney. In other words,
the government could not make out
a case.
The claims committee finds that
under divers management the
plant at Knoxville turned out shells
at production cost of $7.36 each,
while under the subsequent govern
ment operation of the plant the shells
cost $10.81 to produce, or 1925 each
more than divers price.

The Bradford councillors could
not understand why there should b.

reports showed that there are al

The city medical officer replied
that the precarious condition of the

Former Millionaire Contractor
and Political Power Down
And Out

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. %
One of the chapters in a life-history
dramatic enough, In its ups and
downs and contrasts, to rival the ca
reers of fiction has been consuming
a large amount of the time of the
house of representatives at the pres
ent session over a bill reported from
the committee on claims to pay Will
liam ]. Oliver, of Knoxville, Tenn. =,
$4,000 for damages he is held to
have sustained as a result of the seiz-
ure and operation of his munitions
plant by the government during the
world war.
No action has yet been taken on
the bill and it would be unwise to
hazard a prediction as to what will
happen about it. The full story of
divers life does not come out in the
discussion, because much of it would
be pertinent. Naturally, the house
debate has centered around the mer-
its of the proposal to award him
compensation for a specific alleged
wrong.
PHYSICAL WRECK,
ALMOST PENNILESS
To those who remember the Will
liam ]. Oliver of the days, not so
long ago, when he was building rail
roads in Georgia, South Carolina,
Tennessee and other southern states,
and when he was developing the
kaolin beds of South Carolina and

yities which exhibited his enormous
force as a manager (some say drIv-
err of labor in the mass, the state
ment that he is now physical wreck
and almost a pauper will come with
a shock of surprise The facts about
his present condition have been eX-
blamed to the house in connection
with his claim for damages.
Back in the Roosevelt days Oliver
was not only big figure in industry
and finance in his section and state,
but he had very great influence in
politics and was for quite while
republican national committeeman
for Tennessee.
Towards the close of President
Roosevelt's occupancy of the white
house this man who is now utterly
