A FAMOUS INTERVIEW

The newspapers recently told OF the
passing of newspaper man-one
who, though he had rounded out a
splendid career in his profession, had
achieved peculiar fame through
what seemed at the time trivial in
cident in his old cub reporter days in
Chicago.
The newspaper man was John Dick
inson Sherman who wrote the famous
public be damned" interview with
Commodore Vanderbilt.
Although the three words that have
cost the railroads and other great
corporation literally millions of dol
lars in public ill-will and antagonistic
legislation, were written in 1882, the
true story of what really happened
came to light recently.
According to the story told by Sher-
man, the Nickel Plate Railroad had
just been built for the purpose Of
making Vanderbilt buy 1t. Vanderbilt
was coming to Chicago. When the
news of his pending arrival came,
Sherman and another reporter named
Dresser decided to intercept him at
Michigan City, Ind, The only way
they could do this was to board a
freight train in the small hours of the
night

Through sheer nerve they got into
Vanderbilts private, car at Michigan
City. But when they tried to inter-
view the crafty Commodore he turned
the tables on them and pumped them
dry. Finally the reporters said some
thing about Nickel tPlate. Vanderbilt
got excited over the double streak
of rust" as he termed it. At that time
limited trains were an experiment
