Starr Jameson, administrator of Rhodesia, was to lead fin the cap- ture of Kruger. Making his raid prematurely, Jameson was defeat ed, the Boers seized the reformefs and charged them with his trea- son.
 Saved Companions
 Hammond, together with three other leaders of the plot, could have escaped. Instead they chose to submit to capture and save their associates. They made deal with the Boers whereby they would not expose the corruption of the Kruger regime in return for clemency. Perfidious to the last, the prosecutor demanded the death penalty - and Hammond with his associates, was con- demned to be hanged as a traitor.
 His escape from the traitors death forms one of the most inter- esting chapters of African history. After long negotiations, Kruger agreed to reaiea4e the four leaders on payment of $125,000 fine each.
 Delay in the negotiations saved him and Mrs Hammond from shipwreck, since the ship on which they planned to sail from Capetown floundered.
 Doesn't Regret Experience
 "I might have made more mon- ey if had remained in America" Hammond reminisces, "for when I returned I made more my first year than in all my years in Africa. But never have been sorry that my mistrust of the free traders led me to Johannesburg"
 Scores of honor have fallen to his lot in the United States, aside from the wealth he accumulated in his mining ventures. He was special ambassador to the corona ton of King George V of Eng land: president of the Panama. Pacific Exposition Commission to Europe in 1912; Chairman of the World Court Congress in 1914; Chairman of the U. s. Coal Com mission, 1922; President of the National League of Republican Clubs.

(Contlnue0 rom rage I.) poets the hearings will be conclud- ed within few days.
 MT Lilienthal explained in detail the workings of the Alcorn County Electric Power association because it was his belief that the financial success of its early operations with reasonable rates charged for its electricity made that association and its policies of public interest.
 By way of comparison with the rates charged in his own district for electricity, Cong Smith said that in Alcorn county $3.50 was charged for 100 XVIII and that the federal power commission stated in its recent report on rates that the typical charge for 100 XVIII in Waterbury is $5.10 or $1.60 more than is charged in AL corn county. In Torrington, the rates of the Torrington Electric Light Go for 100 XVIII in 8 five room house is $4.75 or $1.25 more than Is charged in Alcorn county. the congressman said. According to the census of Alcorn county in 1880 there were 23,653 residents of which 16.933 were in the rural dis tricts and the City of Torrington has approximately 26,000 popula- ton.
 Carrying out further the com parison of rates, Cong Smith said that those consumers in Torring- ton who use 25 XVIII per month Give room) house pay $2.00 and that in Waterbury the average bill for 25 XVIII was $210, according to the federal power commission. In Alcorn county the same amount of electricity costs $1.00 he said. For the consumers who use 50 XVIII in Alcorn county the charge is $2.0O and in Torrington Give room house) the charge is $3.25 whereas in Waterbury the charge for 40 XVIII is f$2.70 leverage bilD.
 One of the important features which has been brought out at the committee meetings in regard to the IVA is that with lower rates for electricity there has been in- creased consumption, one example of this being in Tupelo, Miss. where on the average of 40 KEW were used by family before the advent of lower rates whereas at present the average consumption Is close to 103 XVII.

New York 30-The popular conception that multi-millionaire at heart are made unhappy by the burden of wealth is belied by John Hays Hammond, dean of mining engineers, who will be 80 years old tomorrow--and frankly en- joys being rich"
 There is no satisfaction in get ting rich quick" maintains the distinguished American whose conservative habits once caused Samuel Gompers to describe him as the nations most democratic millionaire. For money itself cannot be an object. The great pleasure in having money is in the service it enables one to give"
 Hammond looks back from this S0th anniversary on a life dram atic adventureful and crowned with success the small boys dream come true.
 Born fin Cola Rush
 From birth he was surrounded by the excitement of the gold hunt in California during the gold rush days of the fifties.
 Frying into the >ecrets of golden treasures hidden deep in the rocky roots of mountains won him his first fame.
 The readiness to defend his rights against the governments corrupt officials in far off Africa brought him to the foot of the gallows for treason--a soldier of fortune whose coup miscarried. He returned eventually to his na- tive America to reap a fortune out of mining enterprises and win the accolade of his profession and his fellow citizens in posts of honor.
 After his graduation from Yale, Hammond explored the noun tains of California, Mexico and South America. establishing an enviable reputation as a mining engineer. A firm believer in high tariffs, when Cleveland was elect ed in 1892, he decided tinkering with the rates would hurt busi- ness so the time was ripe for travel. He then began a journey that was to provide the thrill of his life.
 Barnato Sent Him to Africa
 Planned as a vacation trip to Edinburgh with his wife, mes- sage from the famous Barney Barnato, already an immensely wealthy gold mine operator, diverted him to London and turn
