Jtm Fear of Harrlcane.
It Is upon tlila device that Wellman
placet his main dependence for the success
f his attempted flight to Kurope.
Not long after Wellman stand, the At
lantic City watchers were concerned by
weather reports that told of the onrush
of cyclonic winds from the tropics that
might overtake Wellman' ship and wreck
It. But later they sent tout w ireless mes
aagea, asserting that th West Indian hur
ricane could not reach th Atlantic before
Tuesday and that when It did Its force
Tould be spent. If It struck tho Atlantic
at all.
C. R. MeMechen, a writer on aerial navi
gation, said If anything these cyclonic
wlnda would be an aid to Wellman and
that Wellman had been professionally
aware of the existence of this storm and
had timed his start to take advantage of
the driving" hurricane winds If they should
reach him. believing they would serve to
accelerate his passage to Kurope.
The latest report Indicate that Wellman
has made a propitious start, for the winds
aeem to be aiding hi motor to carry htm
Into the Mne of European steamship travel.
If he can keep to hi course he will be In
constant communication by way of the
wireless with th world and th danger of
he and hi crew losing their live In the
daring venture will be greatly minimized,
for the America carries a staunch three
foot, thlrty-horse-powsr life boat, well
provisioned and capable of remaining
afloat for day In anything Ilk a moder

The men making the flight are Walter
Wellman, commander; Molvln Vanaman.
chief engineer and next In command; F.
Murray Klmmona, navigator; Jack Irwin,
wlrelee operator; John Aubert and Albert
Louis Loud, asaistant engineer.
The start of th America wa one of the
mom dramatlo events ever occurring.
Roundly criticised by people who did not
believe that he would ever undertake
what waa thought to be a foolhardy ven
ture, Wellman startled the, whole Island
by bringing the America out of the
hanger and without ceremony going Into
the air. For the last thirty days the
public had expectantly awaited some
move from the Intrepid crew. Day after
day It won announced that a trial flight
would be mde a aoon a condition
were perfect.' Early lost week It, wa
announced that the airship would posi
tively make a trial flight and when no
effort wa made to bring the ship out of
the big shed, criticism of Wellman be
came sttonger. ; ' i .
Derision to Start.
It Va about 4 a. ro, Saturday that th
" flnnl decision to go up was made by
'"lef Engineer Vaniman. All night he
had watched the weather and a dawn
broke he decided that now was the time.
Rousing the crew who slept In the hanger
Vaniman sent a message to Wellman at
his hotel and notified him that the time
to start had arrived. Wellman aoon was
on the way In an automobile. With
everything ready for the word, "let go,"
the crew climbed Into the car hanging
from the balloon. The final "good byes"
were said to wives, relatives and friend
and the laat word to the mer on the
ground waa given.
On the boardwalk and beach at Atlantic
City were assembled a crowd estimated at
about 1,000. The crowd atood In awe as the
airship began to Hue and sail In the fog.
Then cheer after cheer followed when the
craft began to disappear In the mist.
Within five minute the ship was out of
sight.
Robert Miller, the wlreleaa operator sta
tioned at Atlantlo City, kept calling the
America, but It waa not until" 11:05 a. m.
that there waa any response. Then out
of the air came this message, the first
ever sent from an airship at e.
"Headed northeast. All well on board.
Machinery working fine. Ooodbye.
"J. IRWIN."
After this messages came frequently and
all reported good progress.
Waiting- for Messages.
Among the anxious people that crowded
Into the tittle wireless station on the At
lantic City pier were Mrs. Wellman and
her two daughters and Mr. Vaniman. All
were cool despite the knowledge of the
danger their husband and father were to
fare In this dangeroua, atrange voyage
and they expressed the utmost confidence
In the success of th expedition.
Messages were exchanged between Well
man and Vaniman and their relatives.
The last message received from Well
man late Saturday afternoon said the
course had been laid for the northeast
passage of Newfoundland and tha speed
cut to fifteen mile an hour to save the
gasoline. The airship la equipped with
provision for ninety day and a twenty
even-foot lifeboat I carried. If the (hip
gets Into difficulty In the way of . motor
trouble to the two eighty-horse power en
gine and a donkey engine which It car
ries, the wlreleaa will be depended on to
summon help. Should the frail structure
collapse the crew will take to the life
boat and, being In tha track of teaiurs,
expect to be picked up without drifting
long In th ocean.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct. if.. Special.) Some of
the business men of Lincoln are becoming
worried lest the attitude of one of the
newspapers here causes Lincoln to lose
another of its very valuable citizens and
a heavy taxpayer. During the last year
or so the attitude of the big paper and the
manner In which the affairs of the city
have been administered has driven out at
least two millionaires and caused many
other heavy taxpayer to consider .j-ery
seriously pulling up stakes. Among the
latter Is one of the most enterprising citi
zens Lincoln ever had.
At this time U. E. Thompson, owner of
the Lincoln and Capital hotela and various
other proierties here, I being vigorously
assailed by one of the newspapers be
cause he asked why Lincoln had 1.500
vacant houses. The newspaper at onoa
Jumped onto the former ambassador and
accused him of being dissatisfied because
his hotels have been deprived of their bars.
Thi ha been continued for several days.
As Mr. Thompson could easily afford to
lock the. front doors of both of hla hotels
and leave them closed Indefinitely, some
aro wondering what would happen If he
really did this.
In the meantime Mr. Thompson's offer
of $1,000 to charity for every 100 house
vacant In thi city less than 1,500, provld-
ng the newspaper will pay an equal
amount for every 100 houses vacant over
1,500, has not yet been accepted.

HITCHCOCK MAKES REPLY
(Continued from First Page.)
World-Herald and I were Indebted to n.bout
every bank In Omaha, to many banks In
other cities and towns and to individual
friends and money lenders generally. My
credit was poor and much of my properly
was mortgaged. I cannot remember the
aggregate amount of my indebtedness, but
It was probably over $150,000, divided per
haps among thirty or forty individuals and
banks.
"Twelfth One of these Individuals. In
making a settlement with Hartley, turned
over to him a note for $3,000 which I had
given to that banker and secured by a
second mortgage. I did not know that the
note and second mortgage had been
transferred by the banker to Hartley until
several years later, when the first mort
gage on the property was foreclosed and
the property sold. It did not bring enough
to satisfy fhe firBt mortgage. . I lost the
property, the owner of the second mort
gage lost his security and the loan com
pany secured a deficiency Judgment against
me.
"Later on when Hartley was pardoned
out of the penitentiary he demanded pay
ment of the $3,000 second mortgage note
which he had purchased, but which had
not only been foreclosed In court when I
lost "the property, but outlawed by the
statute of limitations.
Letter to Treasurer.
"I demanded to know how lie had come
into possession of It and he wrote me the
following letter: ""-
In reply to your request for a statement
a to the manner In which I secured your
note from , I will state: In January,
1303. I opened a personal account at his
bank. It was In my own name and con
tained my private funds. In December of
same year' there waa drawn out of this
account $3,000 represented by your not
which you made to and which he
later turned over to me. The money,
therefore, was from my own personal pri
vate account. J. S. BARTLEY.
"In the above letter I am Inclined to
think Bartley Intended to say that he
opened his private bank account In 1KS3,
although his letter-reads 1003. I do not
care which date he Intended. If It was
1893, he bought my note of the banker sev
eral years before he became a defaulter,
and bought It, as he says, from his private
funds. If It was, as he states, 1903, then
It was years after the mortgage was fore
closed and the note outlawed and at a
time when he had nothing but a personal
account, and had been out of office six
years.
"In any event, the note was outlawed
when Bartley demanded payment of it.
It was not a legal obligation nor wa It a
transaction between Bartley and I. I had
already lost In the mortgage foreclosure
much more than the note represented.
Nevertheless, I turned over to R. L. Met
calfe, the editor of th World-Herald and
also a friend of Mr. Bartley, the adlust
ment of Hartley's outlawed claim, and they
settled It, the note being surrendered.
Letter from Hartley.
"13. Edgar Howard calls attention to the
fact that In writing Bartley I addressed
him as state treasurer. How else could
he be addressed whll In Lincoln? Th
note were of course made payable to J. B.
Bartley, but to send a letter through the
malls some designation Is customary, and
I dictated the letter to my stenographer
Just as writers often addresa me as Con
gressman Hitchcock even when writing on
World-Herald business.
"Fourteenth It la true that the World
Herald demanded, In VM., that Mr. Uoold,
a republican nominee for regent, withdraw
fro mthe ticket. It did so because Hartley
made the publto statement that Goold haJ
borrowed from him $1,(00 of state funds.
and that not a penny of this amount had
ever been returned. The difference be
tween Mr. Goold's position and inv own Is
sufficiently obvious. While I am ready
to assume the responsibility for publica
tions that appear In my paper, 1 know ab
solutely nothing about the Goold matter,
or Its Intended publication, till I saw it
In the World-Herald. But two men knew
of' that before It was published, Mr. Met
calfe, the editor, who had full charge of
tbe paper, and Mr. Hunt, the reporter
whom he sent to Interview Bartley.
Death shook to All.
"Fifteenth. I told the Ktory and told It
aa accurately as I can recall events which
go back fifteen or eighteen years. That
dark period of desperate struggle to keep
the World-Herald alive, from ISM to 1900,
waa filled with excitement. Nebraska, was
In politic a storm center, and th World
Herald had to take the brunt of all the
fight against Bryan democracy and popu
lism. There were times when the World
Herald suffered the displeasure of busi
ness Interests and encountered heavy
losses. There wer time when money
lender and bank tried to force me to
change the policy of the paper. For two
year of that period Bryan himself was
editor of the World-Herald while I
struggled In the business office to keep the
sheriff at bay and the salaries paid. Then
Bryan was nominated for the presidency
and luy creditor pouused on me so fiercely
that the business almost went under.
"Sixteenth -We survived, howeyer. and
while there aie many features of the
striiugle which I tfcret. there are none of
which I am ashamed.
"Seventeenth-1 could have avoided this
revelation of my dealings with Hartley. He
j has been ready to tal.e blood money for
some time. I recant Howard a letter to
j nie as a bint from Hartley. Hartley
i thought 1 was so anxious to oe senator
I that I would open negotiations with him.
j I answered Howard as I would answer
Hartley. I realized what would probably
follow. I bad heard of these photographic
I plates and copies of letters. The hint had
j been sent me several times of their ex.
; latence. I forced Howard to go ahead be-
cause I proposed to find out whether a
black-mailer like Hartley can by the use
of such tools as Howard drive an honest
man out of public life.
"GILBERT HITCHCOCK."
The Lincoln Journal reproduces photo
graphs of some-letters from Mr. Hitchcock
to Mr. Hartley and It Is noticeable that the
letters which are typewritten, refer to Mr.
Hartley aa Mr. J. S. Hartley, treasurer,
while those written In Mr. Hitchcock's own
handwriting refer to him as Dear Hartley.

WASI1IXUTUX SORROW GENERAL
Shadow Cnat nt Capital Over Senator
nolllver' Death.
(From A cStaff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Oct. K. (Special. In
telligence of the death of Senator Jonathan
Prentiss Dolllver nt his home In Fort
Dodge, la., has been heard with very gen
eral regret In Washington. Senator Dol
llver was one of the most popular who has
represented a state In almost a generation.
He had been coming here for twenty years
and has never outworn his welcome since
his first appearance as a representative, in
the house in the Fifty-first congress. He
served six years In the house and was then,
In August, 1900, apolnted senator to succeed
J. II. Gear, deceased. Hi service In the
senate was highly distinguished, particu
larly of late years. In the great tariff de
bate of last summer, when the Payne-Ald-rich
bill was framed. Senator Dolllver dis
played a knowledge of the tariff question,
which In variety of Information and mas
tery of details was unexcelled by any other
member of the senate. A man of most
engaging personality, and one of the most
brilllanOpeakers Washington ha known,
with his oratorical powers he combined
the rare gift of making luminous and at
tractively Instructive his treatment of the
dryest of subjects Involved In the tariff
discussion.
Mr. Dolllver was on of the republican
senators who voted against the Payne
Aldrlch bill and was for that reason
classed as an Insurgent but he ha tvever
been an Insurgent simply for the satisfac
tion of being classed as such. His opposi
tion to the Payne-Aldrich bill was. In the
Interest, a he conceived it of his republi
can constituents, who believed that the Mc
Klnley tariff bill, forfwhlch hi had voted,
which he ha) jdyocated and which he had
defended, was an ideal bill with rates suf
ficiently high to afford protection for
American capital and labor. In the great
tariff debate of August, 1!K, Mr. Dolllver
was without a peer. No supporter of the
tariff bill that was passed ventured him In
debate. He proclaimed himself always a
republican and a defender of protection:
but for no higher protection than was sup
plied In the McKinley bill. Mr. Dolllver
has long been regarded as a senator of
presidential caliber, and it is expected that
with the retirement from the senate of
Mr. Aldrluh, and the more prominent
participation of weatern senators In sena
torial debate, Mr. Dolllver would have at
tained a position of more consplciou
leadership than h ha hlthertoo occupied.
F.IMD COMES WITHOUT WARNING
Famous Republican Leader Succumb
Suddenly to HI Disease.
FORT DODGE, la.. Oct. 16. (Special
Telegram.) United States Senator Jonathan
Prentiss Dolllver died at his home last night
at T:S0 o'clock In the 53d year of his age,
of dilation of he heart. He had not been in
good health for some months, bu no appre
hension was felt for him until last Thurs
day. Then hi wife said he bad not enjoyed
a vacation In thirty-five years and it wa
Imperative he should rest.
Death came while one of the attending
physicians wa examining the distinguished
statesman's heart with a stethoscope. It
followed an acute attack of stomach troubl
which affected his heart.
Senator Dolllver hid so far recovered his
strength as to be able to walk about his
lawn. He had been up all day and then
entered his sitting room for the daily con
sultation with his physician.
The senator Informed Dr. Van Patten that
he was feeling much Improved, and that
he believed he had about recovered his
formal strength. Dr. Van Patten cautioned
him about becoming too anxloua to again
resume his work, and then began th ex
amination of tha heart.
The senator was sitting in a large Morris
chair when the physician began the exami
nation of his patient's heart.
Wa Frrllas Better.
While making the examination, the phy
sician kept up a conversation with Sena
tor Dolllver, and asked him how he was
feeling.
"I am really better than at ,-ny time since
my recent Illness," he said. "But I suppose
the wolves will be set howling about my
successor." and the senator laughed.
He had frequently expressed In a
humorous manner Ills opinion of having
the people pick hi successor while be was
yet alive. The phyakian continued his
work with the tethoscope, counting the
beats of the senator heart out loud. He
wa frequently interrupted by Senator Dol
llver with the declaration that he was
unable to hear his own heart.
When the physician had counted fourteen
beats, he Informed the senator.
"That's good," replied Mr. Dolllver, "the
most I have been able te count was seven."
The physician continuing the examination,
suddenly noticed that the heart beats
had ceased. He shook his stethoscope, be
lieving that it waa defective In ome way.
Again applying his Instrument he discov
ered that the heart had ceased beating en
tirely. Upon looking Into the senator's face, he
discovered that death had overtaken him.
He died without a truggl and without
pain.
No one with the exception of th physi
cian wa In th room at th time of hi
death. Mr. Dolllver having stepped out
Just before the physician began hi ex
amination. Mr. Dolllver I Notified.
Mr. Dolllver was outside the door and
was on the point of entering the room
when death overtook her husband. The
phjalolaa Informed, Lr simply Uiat tU
senator had passed away during the ex
I aminatlon.
I It was learneil here tonight that a Con
jfiiltitioii of physicli'ns was held a week
ago and that they had discovered that the
senator was In a dangerous condition.
This, however, was not made known until
tonight.

Senator Dolllver the last week had suf
fered Intensely with his heart. For the
last week he had breathed with difficulty,
but for two day he had ahown consider
able Improvement. In response to a tele
gram from the senator's sister, Mrs. K.
Graham of Kvanston, 111., the physicians
answered that the senator was doing well
and that there were no alarming symptoms.

Sioux City, and Rev. R. H. Dolllver of

Event of El Zif.
The son of a Methodist preacher. Sena
tor Dolllver was a sincere and prominent
member of that denomination. He was born
In what is now West Virginia, In lttS. and
was graduated In 1K75 from West Virginia
university. Later on, with his father, he
removed to Iowa. He waa admitted to the
bar In 1S7R, began his political career by be
ing elected to the Fifty-first congress, was
elected to the succeeding congresses up to
and Including the Fifty-sixth, and In 1900
was appointed to the senate from Iowa to
succeed John H. Gear.
Senator Dolllver was later elected and re
elected and began the term he I now serv
ing. In March, 1W7.
Senator Dolllver grew up familiar with
the oratory of the circuit rider and ex
horter. He inherited his father's talent
and for many years be cultivated It assidu
ously. He was one of the most polished
orators In congress. He wa an omnivorous
reader, a great student of the best litera
ture. When he spoke on the floor of the
senate his addresses were admirable for
their diction, whether Impromptu or other
wise, and they were forceful. He wa at hi
best, however, In the political meeting,
where he could launch out and exhort his
audience to follow In the way of the re
publican party with the power of exhorta
tion that made his father's name known
from one end of West Virginia to the other
a half century ago and caused It still to. be
remembered. His present term In congress
would have expired In 1313.
Student of th Tariff.
When the Pingley tariff wa enacted, Mr.
Dolllver was a member of the committee
on ways and mean of the house. He dis
tinguished himself then for the active part
which he took In making that law. Al
though more Independent than many, he
wa then known as a standpatter. Iowa
being an agricultural state he successfully
advocated protection for all products of
the soli. During the administration oT
President Roosevelt, In the height of the
agitation for the regulation of freight
rates, Mr. Dolllver. who had gone to the
senate, filled a conspicuous role. The Hep-burn-Dolllver
law amendatory of the origi
nal act creating the Interstate Commerce
commission was to a large extent the
product of hi labor, although after that
measure wa reported to the senate It un
derwent many change of which h did
not approve.
During the life ef Senator Allison, one
of the standpat leader of the senate, Dol
llver then, the Junior Iowa senator, waa
constantly within the helter of hi vener
able colleague' guidance. After Allison
died and was succeeded by Sanator Cum
mins, who had long been known as a
progressive. Senator Dolllver Joined hands
with bis new colleague and Incurred the
enmity of the republican political faction
with which he had so long been affiliated.
Took Vart In Man Dbata.
In debates with nearly every one of the
standpat orator Senator Dolllver con
tributed many of th brightest pages of
the Congressional Record of the tariff ses
sion last year. He was one of th ten
sonators who voted against th Payne
Aldrlch bill.
In th convention at Philadelphia In 19v0,
which re-nomlnated McKinley for the pres
idency, Dolllver probably would hav been
the nominee for vice president If Senator
Piatt and other republican leaders then
In rower had not determined upon the
nomination of Roosevelt. Again In Chi
cago at the laat republican convention, the
Taft leaders wanted a man from Iowa tor
second place on the ticket, but the dele
gation was so divided between the Cum
min and anU-Cummlns force that the se
lection of Dolllver, the real choice, became
Impossible.
When Senator Dolllver left Washington
at the close of the last session, apparently
strong and vigorous, he told many of his
friends that he felt that he had "Just come
Into his own." By that he meant that,
though associated for many years with th
"old guard" In congress, he had frequently
felt a lack of sympathy with many of th
measure they advocated. He waa at heart
a progressive.

His own story' of hlV life was told by
Senator Jonathan lrentiss Dolllver to u
representative of The Bee In the fall of
1100. when he was appointed senator by
I'Slin M. Shaw, then governor f Iowa,
to fill out the unexpired term of the dead
Senator Gear.
The tory wa given at the senator's
home In Fort Dodge, la., where Mr. Dolll
ver always was a popular Idol. Affabl.
approachable, always good-humored. he
was Intimately acquainted with nearly nil
ef the men of his home city. His neigh
bors regarded his advancement In public
affairs as honors conferred upon them
selves,' as well as upon him.
The Dolllver home Is unpretentious and
yet comfortable. Fort Dodge people say
that there the happiest days of the sena
tor's life were spent. A unique feature of
the home Is "the den." a separate build
ing standing In the same yard with the
house. Thi was the workshop of Senator
Dolllver and here many of the most Im
portant of hla literary and political labor
were performed. Speaking of "the den"
to the representative of The Bee, Senator
Dolllver said:
Content of the Den.
"It originally was built by my father-in-law,
George R. Persons, who occupied
It while he waa building his new house.
The overflow of books, and especially of
public documents, became so great that
Mrs. Dolllver finally forbade me to bring
any more of them into the house. In or
der to meet the situation she purchased
this building, which at that time wa re
ferred to as "the shack.' We refitted It and
put a huge fireplace In the center and cov
ered the walls with shelving for books,
making it altogether the most popular
room on the place and a most comfortable
refuge for the labors of life,
"Whenever another carload of documents
arrive w Just add shelving enough to
accommodate them and put them here.
It has served to entertain my constituent
and has become a favorite resort for pic
nic parties cheated out of their trip to
th woods by storm. There is nothing fine
about It. If there were 1 uoubt whether
I should be as comfortable In It as I am.
It simply la big and hospitable and as It
suit me no question ever arises as to
what Impression It makes on others."
Asked by the Interviewer for a story of
his life and his labors, Senator Dolllver
said:
Story of Hla Life.
"I wa born down In the mountains of
West Virginia. My father was of New
England stock, his ancestors having come
from the coast of Massachusetts, where
they all were seafaring people. He was
born In Saratoga county, New York, and
hla youth waa spent on the coast of New
Jersey, hla father being a sea captain.

a merchant In a little town ten miles be

"I think I would have made good

took the stump for Hayes and Wheeler and
raised flag poles in their behalf all over
Monongohela county. Unfortunately the
campaign lasted all year and there was
more Interest taken after the election
than before, so that I practically laid aside
my Blaukstone and Chltty and spent my
whole time In researches concerning the
law of the electoral count, a study to
whloh I attribute most of my interest In
politics, and which became the foundation
of what little I know about th structure

nated unanimously ever since, and re
elected almost unanimously, except lrl tK),
when the landslide of the democracy re
duced my majority to 2 0H0."
Asked what he thought of congress as
field of labor for the poor man. Senator
Dolllver replied:
"1 cannot say that the house of represen
tatives Is a good field of labor for the
poor man. The expense of living and the
Incidental expenses of politics are likely to
eat up his entire receipts, and leave him
at least as poor as when ho began. If
the object of life is to make money, con
gress Is one of the occupations that ought
to be avoided by the young. Hut In my
philosophy the main object of life Is not
to make money, and few fields of useful
ness are superior In the oportunltle the
afford to the house of representatives."

what Is left of the political mob of isno,
and inspired by 'The Voice from Nebraska,
and the Reminiscence from Illinois.' "
When asked whether he expected to take
an active part In the then pending cam
paign, the senator said:
"For twenty year I have1 devoted at
least two months each year - to stump
speaking, and I expect to do the sama
this year, partly In my district and state
and partly under th direction of the na
tional committee In other parts of the.

I have supported the republican measures,
beginning with the McKinley bill. Most of
the business of the house Is noa-partlsan,
but in every matter Involving parly policy
I have co-operated with my republican
colleagues. I advocate republican doc
trines because I believe them best for the
country."
