TRAIN WRECK STORY STARTED JIMMY COX Jimmic Aliison Now Sorry He Was Harsh to Budding Reporter Who Gathered Facts and Wanted to Write. \ I (By Herbert Corey.) ft XT a??* V %?1 - T i w\ w* tr A 11 ? A^ICVY 1 UX1V) ? cJUXllIijr iliuoun thinks he may have been a little bit sore that night. He may even have been a trifle harsh to Jimmy Cox. He does not remember this phase of the evening with accuracy. He trusts not, because Jimmy Cox might, perhaps, be the president of the United States some time. It would b& embarrassing if the president said some time: L "Remember that night you bawled W me out at Middletown?" j This is the story of the time that j Jimmy Cox first chipped the egg. It is thp talp nf his official hatching. Up to that time he had been the correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer-at Middletown, Ohio?that is, that had been one of his activities.j A country correspondent was not! s paid enough in those days to permit him to devote his entire time to corresponding;. He had attracted the same sort of attention in The Enquirer office that other country correspondents did. When he got scooped the telegraph editor wanted to know why. Then came the wreck of the Second Forty-five. Wreck of "Second Forty-five." "Forty-five" was a known and numbered passenger train. People set their tin clocks by it. The Dayton Cash Register company's em ployees arranged an excursion, and the railroad management decreed that the special train should be known for the day under the title of the "Second Porty-five." Somehov/ the train dispatcher forgot, or the (telegraph operator forgot, or some one else forgot. At i.uy rate, after the only known "Forty-five" passed Middletown on this fateful night the engineer of a freight train pulled off a siding and rumbled down the main track, quite unaware that a second section of the passenger train was approaching. A dozen people or more people were killed. H "I was the night police reporter for The inquirer at Cincinnati," -said "Jirrmy" Allison, who for yearn ^ has been the New York man for the ? Cincinnati Times-Star. "All thir linnneiioH nft.pr' midnight. Cox had O a* been getting around Middletown at' night, as was his habit, and pickcd up the news. He 'flashed' it to The Enquirer, and 'Charlie' Hodges, who was then the city editor, got me or the wire and told me to hurry up tc ^ Middletown and take charge." ^ Allison was not unnaturally outj raged by this order. It came just a:? he was getting ready to call it a day and go home. He rode through the brisk morning air to Middletown?on > a frieght?inhaling indignation and cinders. All the way he reflected bitterly on the policy of a paper that would entrust so important a post zz that of Middletown*?where nothing else had happened since the memory of man?to a green reporter, and t.hprehv cut into the recreations of a regular newspaper man just when that regular's playtime had arrived. He may have been crisp to Cox when* N he got there. But he hopes not. ^ Cox on the Job. Cox had done all that could be done. He had gathered the facts, wired them to Tfye Enquirer in time for the city edition, sent in all the names and street addresses of the injured, and then made inquirier about the wire. But *one wire was open to Cincinnati,x he discovered, and at that moment the reporter for4 tne otner i^mcinnaxi morning e? began to snoop around. Young .Mr. Cox, the boy correspondent, knew ; that he must save the scoop for hi? own journal. "So he put two or three pages of a book on the wire," said Mr. Allison. "He'd heatd about that trick, you know. Another Enquirer reporter, during a strike in the coal fields, sent Hv most of the 'Lamentations of Job' on W one occasion, thereby preventing the current Job from getting any news through in spite of his anguished protests. Anyhow, Cox did it. He held the wire." Allison did the story all over again of course, in that provokingly superior way in which big town report^ ers treat small town reporters, even tnough the small towners have all the facts. The Cox story,' which had been sent in to the Enquirer in hur ' ? 1 T . ? ^ v ried bits, as ne learnen 01 a new fact or a new name, had been rewritten by the office genius into a compact and lurid story of the wreck. '. Allison remembers the awe with which "Jimmy" Cox read that story the next morning when the papers, came in. The facts were his, of course? f "If I could only learn to write like ' that," he said dejectedly. "IV! never want anything more." j A i. r?WWWUU Ulfc. in. IWOTWMWIUWUI>.. ill IM '.r i When Allison, returned to Cincinnati "Charlie"' I lodges called him in. ".Seems to be a pretty live wire.? ; Hodjres said, "that young: Cox up at Middletown." No doubt Hodges war. smoking a pipe at the moment. Ho usually was. "Got a clean scoop fo;-' us. Held the wire, too. What dt? , you think of him?" r That early morning: bitterness had I \ passed away from Allison by that ! itimc. He r?o longer remembered the! } | injustice to which he had been sub- j jected in sending him away from rest i ?and recreation--at that scandalously early morning hour, but recalled! the alertness of the young reporter. | He told about it: "I've given him a chance to come down here," said Hodges. "It's up to him to make good." Refused to Graft. Cox became the railway reporter in Cincinnati.- Railway reporters in those days usually walked several j thousand miles a week and talked I mostly to brakemen. Now and then ?this was a long time ago and as a nation we lacked the high and mighty notions we have nowadavs?a [ V railway reporter got a pass . from some one and then sold that pas* to come one. Oddly enoug"h, it was the i railroads who most bitterly complain- j ed when the pass issuing privilege was taken away from them. Allison remembers that a friend had a pas? on the Queen and Crescent, which was in constant use when there was racing on at New Orleans:. "The railroad never co-mplained," said he, "until come one trieu to I carry a horse on it." | Cox would not graft passes and sell them. He did what few othev railway reporters had done at that time, and managed to get into the private offices of the presidents and treasurers and directors of the railroad? and talk to them. Then they asked him to come back . He became a very live news gatherer, thereby confirming the judgment of Hodge." and Allison. At this point Theodore Mitchcll, now the chief agent by which the D. W. Griffith filming company takes the public into its confidence, may be introduced and sworn. "Jim Faulkner } ought me dowr. to Cincinnati," said he, ''and gave me a jco on Ths Enquire:'. The mos': vivid impression I have of my first i night was of walking into Charlie J Hodger.' office and seeing Jimmy Cox . sit on Hodges desk and swing h fries?: and talk confidentiallv to the r * <sditor. That wp.c a great occasion for me, understand." 7 - I 1.. , After Awhile?

O ( JACKSON'S administration stand: forth in the half-century betweei Jefferson and Lincoln because* of tw< measures. One of these was the over throw cf the United Slates bank. That great institution, patterns: after the Bank of England and th< Bank of France, was an efficient bu dangerous partner for a democrats 1 government. It was a money monop oly wliich. coulil make or break an: enterprise in the country; it-held i: (ts grasp the financial life of Atner lea; it received and distributed all th< revenues of the nation and half o its deposits were public moneys; but with only a fifth of its directors rrp pointed by the government, it wa: not under' public control. When Jackson began trls audaciou! fight upon the bank, it. was at th< height of its power. Against heavj odds, he vetoed the bill for recharter ing it; took his case to the people i: his campaign for re-election, am scored a complete victory. On th< strength of that popular verdict h< removed the government deposit: and left the bank to a slow and igno minious collapse. For this action the senate eensurei him. After a bitter fight, in whicl I ; * WW ' ?/ y SCe-*-.-;: N'/ ?P' ' : *&? $\ $L , m \ Wm V -X. ;, Andrew Jackson in Old Age. Jackson's one-time antagonist, Thoma: II. Benton, now a senator from Mis sonriv was his champion, the resolu tion was expunged by drawing ahou it in the records a heavy black line. Jackson was equally bold and vie torious in meeting the threat of nulii fication. although it came from n: own section, from his own party am from his own vice president, John C Calhoun. Shortly before his inaugu ratio* congress passed the first tarii that was framed for the benefit o the new manufacturing industrie: which were springing up in Nev England. This bestowal of a specia i ^ ^ 4.U privilege aroused me j^aiuu^v ui m agricultural Soutli. At a Democratic banquet in "Wash ington in 1S30, President Jackson rose and proposed this toast: 'To Federal Union; it must be pre served." Then Vice President Ca! houn got up and toasted the right: of the states. Thus the two highes officials of the government joine< issue across that dinner tirble on ; question which great armies woul; fight out in another generation. Two years afterward a convention in South Carolina solemnly adopter nn nnlinnnoft nullifying t)ic tariff ac for that state ami forbidding: withli the boundaries of the state the col lection of customs duties under it While recommending to congress ; modification of the offending tarifi Jackson appealed to the patriotism o the South Carolinans in a proelcma tion which set all the North and ra'icl of the South ringing with cheers; or dered General Scott to the scene o threatened trouble: re-enfoived th< fyrts 01! the dissatisfied state: (lis patched a naval lleet to Charlesto: harbor, and only waited for tlie firs overt act of revolt to give him war rant for arresting Calhoun and tin other leaders.
