(NEA Service Writer)

Washington, Feb. 16-Latc on,
afternoon, in small corridor Of tn,
Senate Office Building which hae
been barred off as temporary Of
flee. your correspondent discovered
a white-haired old man, alone and
bent over desk, who was not recog.
nizable as a member Of the present
Senate.
He turned out to be William B.
Wilson of Pennsylvania, who is con-
testing Boss William S. Ware of
Philadelphia for a seat involved in
the senatorial election of 1926. Will
son had been given this improvised
office to facilitate his fight, and here
he was with some miscellaneous
furniture, surrounded by great heaps
OF files and catalogues containing
the evidence of fraud as practiced in
Pennsylvania elections.
For more than two years Wilson
has devoted all his time, an inn
mense amount of effort and a great
deal of money to the task Of obtain
ing the Senate seat of which he be-
s.SvC0 IiC WAC ~ lCSlSV temporarily
cheated by the notorious methods of
the Ware machines and allied organ
izations in his state.

He has been forced to employ two
lawyers in Philadelphia and two in
Washington and for time two 9TH
ers in Pittsburgh. Sometimes he has
required an office force of eight or
10 persons to do the, work required
to protect his interests.
At the outset he had to advance
the money needed to 60 into court
and bring out the ballot boxes con-
tanning the evidence of fraud, al
though that money has been reim-
bursed. Ballot boxes had to be inves-
tigated in 1900 election districts in
Philadelphia alone, GA in Pitts
burgh and additional boxes from
four other counties.
Each ballot box had to be opened
and it's ballots counted and the diff
ference between that count and the
official returns set down. During the

Washington. Nov. 5-Beforo thr days when Senator Hiram Bingham stepped into the national spotlight by hiring a Connecticut Manufacturers agent as his private rocretary 10 help him frame the nations tariff bill, he was known to his colleagues in the |. $. Senate as a mildly irritat- ing but highly interesting man.
 Irritating, because he had been d Yale professor. and his highly intel lectual discourses to his fellow sona- tors always, somehow, sounded faint ly like the remarks Of 9 patient professor to his class of students.
 And interesting. because this silver haired solon was, undeniably. q man who had had many big eNper- fences, including dangerous eNplord- tions in tho little known tropics and the flying of airplanes in France in war time.
 Thus, while the other senator's did not always Iov" him as a brother. they could never ignore him. What ever he might bc, no one ever ac- cused him of being a nonentity.
 Adventure Fills Lite
 S"ntor Bingham's life story. in- deed, is full Of color and incident chiefly because he has always been q man who lost no time in going after whatever ii was he happened at the moment, 10 want.
 To begin With he comes from New England aristocracy. His lineage goes back, on this side Of the Atlantic, to 1885. when the first Binsham's settled in Connecticut. Unlike many descendants Of an old house. however he displays fully is much visor and initiative as any of his ancestors-includin the Calvin Bingham who founded the city Of Bennington. Vt, and the Hiram bngham-the senator's grandfather -NhO was the first white man ever to go as q missionary to any island in the Pacific ocean. This grand father. incidentally. translated the Bible into the Hawaiian tongue and helped 10 write Hawaii's first consti- tuition.
 Born in Honolulu
 The senator's father was also Il missionary, spending much of his life in the distant Gilbert Islands, trans lating the entire Bible into the native
New Britain herald., 1929-11-05

language and giving the natives d literature by writing down all Of their myths and traditions in their own Ianguag",
 The present Hiram Bingham was born in Honolulu in 1875. As a boy he worked on q sugar plantation. The family moved to America while he was in his early teens and he worked his way through Philips Andovcr Academy and Yale,
 While he was at Yale the spanish American war broke out. He was ready to enlist in the Rough Riders but his father persuaded him to wat for the second calL The war ende l before the second call came, and Hiram lost out IT, vowcd that next time he would not wait.
 Graduating from Yale. he went to Harvard as teacher Of Spanish American history. His marriage carly in the century. 10 q wealthy New York hcircsa. removed him from the pressure of financial worries, and in 1906 he gave vent 10 his desire for adventure by going to Venezuela and Colombia 10 explore the route that Bolivar the Liberator had followed in ISIS. Bingham trayclod 1000 miles through steaming jmglcs, had trouble, with hostile Indians. was harasscd by suspicious Latin American government as q suspect cd spy-and on his return 10 the United States, wrote a book about his adventures.
 Yale then mad" him professor. and he followed &taE-at-homc life for a time. In 1911, however. he went back 10 south America and made a genuine name for himself as an explorer. discovering the lost Inca city of Uiticos, capital of inc last Inca emperor. and penetrating into considerable area Of totally uncNplorer land in the Andcan hin- terland. He came back 70 America to find himself relatively famous
 A little while later came the trou- Dle on the Mexican border. Bingham Was resolved not to miss another scrap, SO he got into the ':Yale bat tcry.' So-called-a unit Of field ar tillcry of the Connecticut national guard-and got sent to the border, crossing the Rio Grande with his

PENNROAD OBTAINS
 EASTERN KEY LINE
Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railway Vital to Consolidation

New York, Nov. 1P-Th" New York Times today says that the Pennroad Corporation, an invest. nlent company formed last April by the interests that control th, peua- sylvanla railroad, has bought coil trol of the Pittsburgh X Wes' V!r- ginia railway key line to eastern railroad consolidation.
 This was acquired by purchase lt the holdings Of Frank l.. and Charles F. Taplin, chairman and seneruJ counsel respectively of the West N!r- ginia road. The deal was financed by recent $50,0uo,op1 stock oner- ing in the form of voting 'rU7t certificates to stockholdrrs of lnc corporation.
 The exchange of coHtrol. apcugu- plished with the greatest secrr,y, throws an entirely new and un@N- pected element into he plans Q: the Chesapeake & Ohio and the BaItt- more ts Ohio railroads which oppos" the Pennsylvania in th- eastern cor- solidation contest.
 Sought For Other Mergers
 Both the C. X .. and tn" G. < c. named the Pittsburgh o Wsst Virginia in petitions for merged sEs- tems filed early this year with the interstate commerce c0mmjssIoa. They asked that they be permitted to share control Of the road equally with the New York Central.
 Since its organization, the Penn road Corporation has spent about $40, 0,00O,o00 in acquiring properties valuable 10 the Pennsylvania raIl- road. The importance of the r. o; ". Va, lies in the fact that wlth the Wheeling and the Western Maryland 1t provides a connection to Baltimore ard Norfolk.
 While the new move Cf 'h" Perm road Corporation Is looked upon as a blow directly at the Van Sweringen brothers. it is pointed out that the Taplns have obstructed the merger plans of the Van Sweringen brothers in the past.

 IS GOOD SENATOR
Fills Fathers Shoes Capabiy-
 Avoids Dangerous Pitfalls

Washington Nov. ; - People Who used to admire old Bob Lat Toilette in the senate often ask a Washing ton correspondent how much space ' Young Bob La Toilette is taking up in his fathers shoes as senator from Wisconsin. The time is about here when one can answer with some assurance that this youngest of the senator's is showing up as we'll as anyone has a right to expect and considerably better than was ever predicted by his political enemies.
 At any rate, there does not scem 10 be any parallel in current public life which equals the success of the present Robert M. La Toilette in following the parental trail to fame and prestige. I.A Toilette junior has a running start because he is only A years old. whereas La Fol lctte senior was 50 when first elect ed 10 the senate The old man served an apprenticeship as q con- gressman and as Wisconsin's gov crnOr but Young Bob was promptly elected 10 the vacancy on his fathers death.
 Making Good Record
 Last year he had to run for re nomination and reelection and the Wisconsin conservatives tried 10 beat him on the plea that this sena- torship was a mans job. Wiscon- sin appeared satisfied with the boy" then and his record for the last year looks a lot better than it did before.
