resonant voice, but when there Is trouble
In ths sir It goes low and lower tn ton,
until It Is hardly louder than a whisper;
but that vole always reaches every man
whom Ball Intends bis words to reach.
General Ball first became known to fam
as on of the First Volunteer Cavalry,
better known aa Roosevelt's Rough Riders.
He went In aa a private.
His absolute f-xl bravery, his unbreak
able veneration for disolplln, and the red
glare that cam Into his eye when b bad
caus for excitement caught the attention
of his company officers, and they spoke of
him to Colonel Roooevelt. His commander
found in him all the qualities of the west

When the Spanish war volunteers were
mustered out at Camp Wlkoff. Colonel
Roosevelt started on his campaign for the
governorship of this state. It will b re
membered that all through that campaign
be was accompanied by a number ef the
officers and men of bis regiment, wbo not
only mad speeches for him but constituted
themselves a guard of honor about bis
pet v The most oonspiouous of . the
was Bharman Bell.
People who were much with Mr. Roose
velt during that campaign learned to ilk
Sherman Bell and to b afraid of him at
the kam time. Th concentration of per
sonal dignity entirely different from any
thing like th big head waa so remarkable
In him that It was almost fierceness.
He could laugh aa quickly and as long
ever a good Joke as anybody, but If he

Bell's story, as told at th time, was
that be had gone Into th Rough Rider
from Cripple Creek, where be bad beau
deputy sheriff In th days when Cripple
Creek was a new camp. He had given up
great honor In bis own country and no
little opportunity for material rich, in
order to gat Into th war. He was th son
of fairly well-to-do parent living In Colo
rado Springs.

his determination mad friends for "him
among th mlnlngmen of Colorado, and
h acquired several valuable properUes
and disposed of them advantageously.
When Mr. Roosevelt, as candidal for
th vie presidency, visited Colorado In
1800, on of th first men to great him at
th stat line waa Sherman Bell, mine
wnar. It will be remembered that at
Victor Governor Roosevelt was mobbed
by a drunken horde of former Coeur
d'Alene miners after he had spoken In
th Vlotor town hall. Mf. Roosevelt said
then to those about him that his princi
pal reason for fear In that distressing hour
waa that Sherman Bell would begin (kill

Th mob followed tb governor to his
special train. Bell, climbing aboard th
rear platform of Mr. Roosevelt's car,
pushed th candidate inside and turned to
ward th stons throwers and th hooters.
Mr. Roosevelt cam out of th door and
pushed Bell aside.
Meantime brickbats and decayed fruit

and threw him back Into th oar by main
tore.
"I'm gains; to kill somebody la a nunut,"
he said with a cold, sweat smile.
"LleuUnant," tha governor of New York
shouted In bis sharpest military tone, "how
dare you treat your superior officer this
way I Go into that car and leave m alone
out here."
Th words caught Bell Just In tlm. H
saluted gravely, said "Beg pardon,
oolonelt" and went back Into th car. Th
train pulled out without bloodshed.
Ther waa a Journey of twenty minutes
or more to Cripple Creek. It was reported
that th Victor mob was going to Cripple
Creek by trolley to renew Its attack.
Bel organised a poas of his former
Rough Rider and deputy sheriff oomrada
who war on th Roosevelt train.
They war aa deadly looking a crew as It
waa ever th fortune of th Sun man pres
ent t look upon. This Is what Bell said:
"Hav you fellers got your guns onT Now

An eastern person ventured to remark
that bloodshed under those orders would
make a very unfavorable Impression on th
republican canvass In ths east

Cripple Creek tn following their program,
"that Shermaa Bell waa out for a kill

got back on their trolley oars and went
back to Victor.
Th moat orderly meeting ef that whole
campaign, east and west, waa that In
Cripple Creek that night. The audience
didn't evea dare applaud until Bell got up
and said:
"What's th matter with you people?

one who broke the law.
When President Roosevelt wSnt through
Colorado last year on his tour of ' the
country a number of politicians asked the
president to us his influence with General
Bell to be less drastic There Is a reason
to believe that the president made a few
inquiries as to th atat of affairs and that
Bell replied: v
"Nobody who breaks th laws of this
stat has got any rights; Colonel."
Mr. Roosevelt, It was said at the time,

TYPE OF MODERN LAWYER
Philaadir Chu Knox, Trust Bnitsr and
Senator from PsnniylTanla.
SKETCH OF HIS METHODS AND TRAITS
Wsrka Bard tow His Client, Whetfcew a
Trast or 'Vaelo Basa Takes M
Interest la Polities aaa la
Jfot a Story Teller.
When th old school playwright mad a
play, or th old school novelist a novel In
which a lawyer figured, he eoncelved It his
duty to make hi character th law Incar
nate. Th bar atuck out all over him;
there waa nothing miscellaneously human
about him, and you oouldn't forget and
were not meant to forget for one moment
that hs waa tha type. Everything that did
not necessarily pertain to tha bar was
carefully aqueesed out of him.
Readers have wondered If any such typi
cal lawyer ever existed, and remembering
how little their own lawyer friends resem
ble the type, have decided tn th negative.
But th playwright Is vindicated. Any ons
who doubts the existence of his character
has only to Journey to Washington and
study Philander C. Knox, attorney gen
eral and senator-designate.
Net that he Is the lawyer of the play and
ths novel; he la a mors modern type, but
he is a lawyer always. Seldom haa there
hen a man so prominent In Washington
who Is th subject of so little aneodot.
Knox haa been there three years, and for
two of Nth baa been on of th most
talked about men In the country. But
there are no stories about him. He la never
credited with saying any witty things. He
la not a story teller, though be la a fisher
man. Hs haa figured In no humorous Inci
dents In his Una.
Bow He Paaeked a Hoaalasn.
Once, at Atlantic City, aom wealthy
hoodlums indulged In Indecent language in
the hearing of some women who were din
ing with Mr. Knox. Immediately afterward
the gilded youths were on ths outside of
the place, one of them nursing a black
eye, the gift of Mr. Knox. This Is th only
"Incident" of his career: and it took place
In a business Ilk manner, with no frills.
' Even the Imagination of ths summer re
sort reporters could not Invest the affair
with any entertaining and romantlo details.
It waa aa simple and business like an affair
as the occasion when in his youth Knox
dropped out of college because, when the
whole class was under sentence of suspen
sion If It did not apologise to the faculty,
the little, round-faced. bullet-headed
fighter was th only on who would not
apologise.
He has don remarkable and striking
things, but the newspaper correspondents
have had nothing Interesting to record
about his way ef doing them. When Hay
calls checkmate on the International board
or Payne throws a postal grafter out ther
are picturesque Incidents to record; but
when Knox fires the first shot at a trust
whose scalp hs means to have, ther Is
absolutely nothing to record except that bo
haa done It H la not a man that things
happen ta Ton caa as easily Imagine
things happening to th "Code of Civil Pro
cedure." Knox has spent his life In one of the
moat highly political states on the map. and
he has lived tn Pittsburg, where political
things are always happening. But he never
took part In any cltlsen movement
against th local ring. Noltuer did hs aver

He was absolutely irreconcilable with
politics. He was utterly wrapped up In th
law. No Plttsburger could hav Imagined
him In politics, not even in politics aa a
recreation.
A Corporatloa Lawyer.
Knox waa not a Jury lawyer: it would
be Impossible to think of that dry, keen,
studious brain so employed. He was a
corporation lawyer. He was the counsel
for the Carnegie Steel company and Its al
lied concerns, which paid him a salary vari
ously reported as from $50,000 to 180,000 a
year. '
President McKlnley took him away from
th steel people and "made him attorney
general at a salary of $8,000 a year. Tb
Inference was Irreeistable. No 'clearer case.
It was said, of putting a trust attorney In
the office of trust prosecutor had ever been
made; If Knox took 18,000 to prosecute the
trusts, It must be because the trusts meant
him to and considered it a good Invest
ment But those who reasoned In this war for-
mrrt. that VnA 1a flrat nf nil a. law... Xtm-i
has the lawyer's conscience as not one law
yer In a thousand has. It Is the lawyer's
conscience that makes the lawyer do his
best for his client even If ha knows that
client to be a murderer.
Knox had served the trusts, bis clients,
with Sr skill and efficiency that had raised
him to the front rank of his profession and
won for him golden rewards. When the
client waa th United States government
Knox-proceeded to serve It exaotly as hs
had served his old client
Why, aa a lawyer, he should hav given
up the magnificent salary his old client
paid him to. take th beggarly pay of his
new one a wage that does not pay. the ex
penses of bis beautiful establishment tn
Washingtonis a mystery. But Knox is
rich and perhaps be oounted in the glory
that goes with publlo station and public
achievement with the picayune, salary his
new client offered, and figured that th ex
hcang was fair.
A Tilt with Harris a.
Mr.' Knox was a big lawyer la Pitts
burg for a good many years before hs
accompanied Andrew Carnegie to see
President Cleveland, and it ook only a
short conversation, to Impress the demo
oratio president and lawyer i with th
splendid attainments of the young Pitts
burger. He .next leaped Into the front
rank of American lawyers in connection
with a suit in Indianapolis, In whloh the
late President Harrison waa an attorney.
It waa a street railway fight In which
Plttsburgers were Interested. Harrison
waa inclined to Ignore the Plttsburger be
cause of his apparent youth.
Harrison had been a leader of the In
diana bar for many years and a national
figure. He felt his oats. Knox had an
Idea how the case should be conduoted,
and Harrison had his Idea. Of course,
they were opposite. Knox believed that
ha was right snd he delivered those
sledge-hammer arguments which have
made him so famous with such good
effect that Harrison succumbed and took
up the Pittsburg line of reasoning. And
that line won th cass which waa worth a
cool million and a half to th Pittsburg
capitalists. That let th country know
what Pittsburg had long before realised
full well.
HI Beslaessllk Methods.
When President Roosevelt became head
of the government and he wanted some
suits brought Knox took the orders of
his client It appeared that the suits were
to be against trusts. Knox was perfectly
satisfied.
He went to work under Mr, Roosevelt's
orders with the hard, direct determina

CHAIRMAN OF' BOARD DISCREDITS STORY
Says Fire) auael Folia Oosaamlasioaer
Will Ram Thais Owa Affair
Despite Oataleta Iaflaosvoa
Sand Intarfesemo.
"So far as) th Board of Fir and Folic v
Commissioners knows, there la positively
nothing to that I e port," declared W. J.
Broatch, oh airman of- th board, when
asked about th published report that W.
S. Seavey, former chief of police In Omaha,
and his friends were working to restore
him to that position. Continuing, Mr.
Broatch said: -
"I know that Mr. Seavey la not calcula
ting pn anything; of th kind. H is out
hare from Chicago, but not for that pur
pose. I saw him and talked with him last
week and I know ha neither desires nor In
tends to try for ths position. I don't think
hs would have it He Is well situated with
the detective agency with whloh he la oon
nected in Chicago."
Ths story about Seavey says that ba is
In Council Bluffs and that friends of his fa
Omaha cherish the ambition of getting
Seavey to succeed Chief Donahue should
th preaent proouUon of Tom Dennlsoa
result disastrously for Dennlson.
The story purports to qdot a friend of
Seavey in saying he regards the present t
proaeoutlon of Dennlson as a movement to
overthrow the present polio administration
tn Omaha, which would mean the decapi
tation of Donahue. In reference to this
Mr. Broatoh said:
D leered Us Battra Itery.
"I don't believe there la a thing In th
story that any friend of Seavey is working
to get him back in this office. A good many
such rumors hav been circulated by cer
tain parties since the present fight began,
Many b as y bodies ar concerning them
selves with th Idea that they will run
th pollc department of Omaha and hav
attempted It at times, but so far as the
Beard of Fir and Pollc Commissioner Is
concerned, when th matter cornea to an
issue, if it does, th commission will hav
a word to aay and will endeavor to attend
to the functions of Its office without re
ceiving dictation from outside sourcea
Now, I want to add, moreover, that so far
as Mr. Seavey's alleged anxiety in this
direction Is concerned It Is my impression
that he wants to keep entirely out of the
present controversy and that reports that
he Is anxious to mix up in It are entirely
false and without foundation."
Mr. Broatch haa bis own ideas and opln-
lens of the work of the Clvio Federation,
many of whose members personally he
highly esteems, and some of these im
pressions hs was not loth to make known,
but, as he said, bs was not desirous of
mixing up In the affair, and requested that
he be not quoted In this connection. He
did not object however, to being quoted to
the extent of saying that the Board of
Fire and Police Commissioners was doing
the best It could to look after ths affairs
of Its office snd would so continue, regard- ,
lees of any proffered phllanthrophy In the
way of assistance.
Regarding the personal friendship be
tween himself and Mr. Seavey, Mr.
Broatch said:
"We alwaya have been strong friends and
ar yet. II comas to so so vrjr tins
he comes to Croatia.'
