ONCE UPON JAN. oath

A professional humorist is not a
man you'd expect to be notable in
ventor. Yet Charles Henry Webb,
who was born 104 years ago today at
Rouse's point, Clinton county, New
York, was both.
lie was supporting himself writing
mum erous pieces for newspapers at II,
whom wanderlust sent him off on a
3 1~2 years voyage on a whaler. On
his return, he followed his family
westward, but his satiristic contribu-
tions to Chicago newspapers attract
ed the attention of the editor of the
New York Times and caused him to
be called to New York where he
became one of the first columnists-
the forerunner of F. p. A., Mcintyre,
Winchell.
Wanderlust seized him again, and
Il years ago this Spring Webb made
the long trek to the Pacific Coast.
There a year later he started The
Californian, one of the most import
ant magazines ever published in this
country, for it discovered and intro
duced Bret Harte and Mark Twain.
Without WebTb's encouragement and
log-rolling, it is doubtful if Twain
would ever have become the monu-
mental figure that he is in world lit
erature. Publishers rejected all
Twain's work and the Missourian was
unknown in the east and abroad un-
til Webb compiled and edited Twain
articles and letters for a book which
a publisher accepted on the strength
of Webb's reputation. This was the
first volume to bear Twains' name,
the now historic and very valuable
'The Celebrated Jumping Frog of
Calaveras County and Other Sket-
ches."
The book was brought out after
Webb had returned to New York with

Senate Investigators contended yes
terday that balance sheets of Penn

pany, presented a "ridiculously arti-
fetal picture" because they showed
capital surplus Of $126. 900.
Chairman Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana, of the Senate Railroad
Finance Committee said this figure
was utterly out of relation to the
facts because heavy losses on secur-
ity investments had not been charged
against it.

dent, disputed Senator Wheeler's as
sertion. contending the books give an
accurate picture"
Agreeing that the surplus was one
Of bookkeeping" Mr.. Ogden said
that books do not forecast the fu-
ture' and declared the company's
financial reports properly showed
what securities purchased had cost,
not what they were worth.
MI Ogden added that accurate ap-
praisal Of the value of the company's
assets at present could not be made.
A. j. County. Pennsylvania Railroad
vice president and a Pennrcad direc-
tor, told Senator Wheeler that the
same might be true Of the book surplus
OF any railroad company.
Pennroad officials. Senator Wheeler
asserted. had deliberately concealed
facts" from stockholders and had not
given them all of the reasons for a
1888 reduction in the stated value of
Pennroad voting trust certificates.
Fear Of criticism" he contended, had
also caused them not to publish the
estimated value Of the eompany's
assets
Mr.. Ogden agreed that information
about some transactions was not given
to the stockholders. but denied any
intention to conceal facts. Some
things are made public now, he said,
which were customarily withheld by
all companies several years ago.
