Thus spake Billy Koch of James j.
Hill, empire builder" Billy was fore
man Of the st. Paul Globes compos-
ing room. Hill owned the Globe and
killed Il when his interests called for
the butchery. Billy and coworker
were specializing as to what Hill
might or might not do when the fore
man out with the dictum above
quoted. s. :.
Hill was queer; a man of whims
and given to abrupt and astounding
changes Of mind and action. On the
floor Of the United States senate he
was pronounced rightfully "the great
est transportation mind in the world"
He was q good deal more than that.
He was familiar with literature Of the
solid sort. had rare discriminative
taste In the world Of art and was an
Ramost uncanni1y accurate judge Of
precious stones. He would examine

% dollars and appraise their value
within 500. He was known to carry
q handful Of diamonds or rubieS
around loose In his coat pocket.
The late James ]. Egan, Judge Of
one Of the district courts In st. Paul.
told me of his experience as Hills
travelling companion on trip east.
One morning the monarch Of trans
portation was missing. The judge
finally found him reclining ,snugly in
an out-of-the-way corner Of the
sleeper. And what was he doing?
Reading Chaucer!

James J.. Hill Seen at Close Range
Was Sudden Guy; Had Poets Soul

Northern railroad through from St.
Paul to the Pacific coast deApite all
obstacles and backsets and without
such government cid. .as made the
Northern Pacific a .transcontinental
line? He was that rara avis, prophet
who lived to see the naturalization Of
his visions. And, strange though 1t
seem, he had no small portion Of
the poets soul.
He was impulsive and quick-tem-
pered for how can the Irish nature
be otherwise?) and subject to fits Of
anger and unexplained resentAe1lts
that spelled injustice and cruelty. In
his worthier moods (let us try to re-
member only them and bury the de-
fects) he was kind, generous, sympa-
thetic and tender as q woman. What
a compound!
His Stock Foresight
Venomous demagogs abused and
misrepresented him for furnishing
blooded stock to Dakota farmers.
They did not see, nor would they
acknowledge. If they did see, how
powerfully he was advancing the in
dustrial development Of q vast region
along the Canadian frontier while
promoting the interests Of his road.
Sir william Van Horn was to the
Canadian Pacific what Hill was ia
the Great Northern. A newspaper OBJ
server Of those times wrote in effect
In Canada they knight their big
geSt railroad man. In Minnesota they
take Jim Hill out once In while and
kick him."
Liked Direct Action
In common with pretty much all
classes Of people, newspaper men were
rather afraid Of Hill. So was I.
Here enters 9 mystery that to this
day have not been able to fathom.
He was more partial to me, I believe,
than to any other reporter or CORE
spondent In St. Paul.
One night I received an order from
the Chicago Examiner to rush an in
terview with Hill. It was when his

enough, feeling certain that Hill
would refuse to open his mouth. on

Not on your cigaret case! Up to the
Summit avenue home Of Hills son,
Louis, sped and begged him to in

I'D be glad to II it would do any

A Visit to Bismarck
A word as to the Northern Pacific,

Great Northern. In the early eos,
when with one exception was the
first railroad reporter the st. Paul

the line, which then reached only q
few miles beyond Miles CITY, Mont.
On the return trip, obedient to in

Liked New York Reporting
The New York reporters (this was
20 years ago) were In advance Of their
provincial fraters in that they had
acquired the knack Of interviewing
without taking notes. Mr.. Hill had
become familiar with the ways Of the
gentry, Is he, had an office in Gotham,
as well as st. Paul. It gave him 4
pain to'see the vice-gerent Of the New
York Herald cut With his notebook

CABINET CRISIS
CAUSES CRASH
OF BANK STOCK
French President Urged to
Hasten Solution of
Problem.
BY RALPH HEINZEN
United Press stan Correspondent


PARIS, Oct. .24-President Gas
ton Doumergue was urged today by
financial influences to hasten the
solution of the cabinet crisis. be-
cause of a notable reaction on the
Bourse where the Bank of France
stock fell 300 points.
The fall of the bank stock was at
tributed to a report that the Left
Socialist and Radical cartel, which
was in power in 1924-26 when the
francs fell to fifty to the dollar.
again might take control of the
government.
In view Of this report, there was
an intensifcation of interest in the
opening Of the Radical congress at
Rheims today, The Radicals con-
sistently have refused to collabo-
rate with the defeated premier,
Aristide BRAND, so long as his cab
met was coloTed by representation
from the Right, but a change of
program undoubtedly will be con-
sidered if the Radicals are assured
of cabinet drawn entirely from
the Left.
Among those whom Doumergue
consulted IN his efforts to resolve
the crisis was Jean Paul Boncour,
Socialist leader, who is known to
have ambitions to be a member of
the cabinet, and who may persuade
the Socialists to attempt to, form
government or join forces with
the Radicals. Speaking in the name
of the Socialists Paul-Boncour told
Doumergue his party wanted Bri-
and's foreign policies continued. He
insisted that the left groups were
ready to support Brands program
OF pacif1cation but merely wanted
the freedom to debate the agree
ments which he had reached.
At the close of the day, Dou-
mergue was no nearer a solution
than when he started. Most of the
leaders with whom he consulted
were convinced that BRAND was the
only man capable of forming a cabi-
net. Doumergue, however, is not
likely to summon BRAND until after
the Radical congress has indicated
the conditions on which the Radi-
calls would collaborate in the new
government.

and a train of pullman cars. On
this, the eve Of his birthday, his
greatest wish is that he will be able
to add to his railway a flotilla with
a genuine motor boat which can

He came upon this idea when,
during his summer vacation. he saw
ships plying in and out Of the har-
bor of Constantza.
Unfortunately, Mihai's birthday
will not be without its shadows. This
time, as has been the case ever since
he was four, his father will not be
