Colonel Albert Pope, well known
as a bicycle manufacturer, died at
Boston, Mass.
The New York World prints this
story of the death of a hero: "News
spread along the piers and through
the streets of 'Suicide Pier' yester
day, that Captain 'Bill' McMahon was
dead. "The tidings laid a burden of
grief on the district around Grand
street and East river, where they
will tell you that Captain Bill was
the bravest man in the land. The
records of the United State volunteer
life saving corps, in which he bore a
commission, show that he saved
seventy-three lives, although-he was
only twenty-six years of age. Cap
tain Bill's maxim was that life ex
cept his own was the dearest thing
in the world, so precious, in truth,
saved the children, whoso names
were not taken, and returned to tie
shanty, where ho was seized with
chills. Pneumonia developed and ho
died Monday in Gouverneur hospital.
Captain Bill took up his work as a
heritage. His uncle, James Smith,
was captain of the station until Wil
liam was thirteen years of age, when
Smith died. The lad was as strong
as a boy of eighteen and was ap
pointed captain. Ho made up In
courage and ability what he lacked
in years and the volunteer privates
never questioned tho young captain's
authority. Tho Humane society re
cently awarded him recognition for
what was described as an unprece
dented deed of valor. A street car
horse ran away on last February 23
und jumped into tho river near the
station. Captain Bill went to tho
rescue. Tho water was icy cold and
the horse continually struck at Cap
tain Bill with Its iron-shod hoofs.
He fought until he got tho animal's
head and supported it until a halter
and ropes could be attached. In De
cember, 1906, Captain Bill swam to
midstream and saved a woman who
jumped from a ferry boat, returning
to the pier with her, although a
strong tide threatened to carry both
to the bottom. Similarly on August
21, 1908, he risked all to save Sam
uel Morgenstein, who fell from the
stringpiece. Captain Bill was neaTly
exhausted when he reached Morgen
stein, and the latter, dazed and half
crazed, resisted rescue. Captain Bill
landed Morgenstein on the pier. Per
haps the closest call In his career was
two years ago when James Fltzsim
mons fell between the Hecker grain
elevator and tho dock. Captain Bill
was handicapped In the narrow quar
ters and was under water most of
the time. There are dozens of lives
saved by Captain Bill of whom no ac
count is preserved, because tho names
of those rescued were not taken. He
was the sole support .of ;his aged par
ents. The funeral wlft'bo held today
from his late home at Nd. 73 Jack
son street.''
Gifford Pinchott, chief forester of

It Is plain that the interior depart
ment under President Taft's admin
istration will attract considerable at
tention. A Washington dispatch car
ried by tho Associated Press says:
"Much Interest was manifested horo
today by intorlor department ofllcials
In roports from Denver, Colo., that
a hearing in Seattle, Wash., next
month will disclose proof of gigantic
frauds in connection with coal lands
in Alaska. They declined in tho ab
senco of Secretary Ballingor and
General Land Commlslsoner Dennett
to discuss the nature of the evidence.
It Is learned that upwards of 700 en
tries on coal lands In Alaska, involv
ing about 112,000 acres, containing
valuable veins, have been suspended
by the department during tho InBt
throo years. Tho lands are estimat
ed to bo worth $20,000,000."
Attorney General Wickersham has
appointed William A. Payne, son of
Representative Payne of New York,
as a deputy assistant attorney gen
eral In charge of customs litigation.
Tho irrigation congress in session
at Spokane selected Pueblo, Colo., as
the next meeting place. Tho congress
adopted resolutions commending the
efforts of both Pinchott and Newell
in the forestry and reclamation
bureaus. Tho congress asked tho
government to appropriate $10,000,
000 per year for flvo years for an
irrigation fund.
The -next Grand Army meeting will

that no risk was too great for him
if he could save any woman or child.
He met with his greatest sorrow
three years ago, he often said, when
a forlorn woman of the tenements
jumped into the river. He saved
her, although the effort nearly killed
him. Two days later, the woman
jumped from the roof of a six-story
building. Captain Bill had been
overjoyed the winter night of the
rescue when he was restored to con
sciousness and told that the woman
would recover. When informed of
her subsequent death he refused to
be comforted. When ice was tumb
ling in East river and the tide hurled
it against the bulkheads with crash
ing sound, Captain Bill would sit
awake in the '3hanty' near the old
Grand street ferry eager to respond
to the dispairing cry of the would
be suicide or the summons 'Man
overboard!' He was asked one day
why he took such chances. 'You
don't get a penny in wage or even
thanks from some of those you drag
from the river,' said a friend.
'You're right, said Captain Bill. 'I
don't Ret nay or I don't get thanks,
but I get the satisfaction of keeping
souls in bodies.'
ernor Pardee of California attacked
Secretary of tho Interior Ballinger.
Secretary Ballinger was present and
undertook to defend himself. He
said that no further funds would be
appropriated for irrigation purposes.
It is intimated very plainly that in
the opinion of irrigation champions
Mr. Taft's secretary of the interior
was all too friendly to special interests.
President Taft has approved the
appointment of 330 supervisors of
tho census. The work will be com
menced in October. The supervisors
are divided equally between demo
crats and republicans in Virginia,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas,
Lousiana and Texas.
effect was made upon inquiries from 1
the east concerning hides, and from
the Pacific coast concerning JPhinp
pine cigars and tobacco. The treas
ury department holds that tho hides
may be admitted free of duty, and
that the Filipino products may also
be brought in without charge, tak
ing the position that goods are not
Imported until withdrawn by and de
livered to the consignee. Tho same
ruling will, of course, apply to wines,
silks, cotton goods and other articles
upon which the duties have been in
creased. As the average rate of duty
upon hides is $1.50, and as there are
thousands in bonded warehouses in
the east, the saving in duty to the
leather manufacturers and the loss
on revenue to tho government will
be material."
