ability of these playera It Is understood
that no other team will he able to

THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. GA.
THE ISABELLA OF THE AIR—RODMAN WANNAMAKER.
Rodman Wannamakar (on the left) who says he will not cease his efforts to have the Atlantic ocean
crossed in an aeroplane until successful, is a New Yorker of great wealth. His activities have been over
shadowed somewhat by the fame of his father, John Wannamaker. Glenn Curtiss (centre) is the aeroplane
constructor on whom Mr. Wannaker Is pinning tits faith. Mr. Curtiss 1b building a series of great double
valved eight cylinder engines and will start trial flights soon at a station on the Newfoundland Coast. Above
is seen a sketch of the aeroplane It is proposed to use on the first trans-Atlantic attempt. Lord Northcllffe
(on the right) proprietor of several great English daily newspapers, will give a prize of $50,000 to the first man
who crosses the ocean in a heavier thau-air machine. There is also offered a $5,000 prize by Mrs. Victoria Wood
bull Martin, nn English woman.
Rodman is the Modern
“Queen Isabella” of the Air Today
Called Glenn Curtiss, the Aviator, Aside a Few Days Ago
and Said: “Glenn, We Aren’t Going to Give This Up Until
We Fly Acoss the Atlantic Ocean.”
It Is related that Isabella, Queen of
Spain, finding her husband parsimon
ious, pawned her jewels in order to as
sure tho sailing of the Atlantic Ocean
by Christopher Columbus. So when a
quiet, hut Impressive young American
merchant called tilenn Curtins, the
aviator, aside a few days agy and said:
"Glenn, we aren't going to give this
up until wo fly across." It was to he
expected that the speaker was ready
to go to any lengths In borrow ing mon
ey to finance a trans-Atlantic aero
plane trip.
“He can get a loan from his dad.”
many might remark. But let It he said
right here that Philadelphia people xvtll
tell you Rodman Wanamake Is a much
wealthier man than his father Also,
before asking a loan front dad to pay
for his fylng machines. Rodman might
raise some money on his life Insurance.
He has $4,500,000 worth, which 1s mors
than any other mortal, and he adds to
It quite often.
"Rodman Wanamaker, son of John
Wanamakrr," Is the way he always
appears In print; and as he admires
his merchant prince father Intensely
he does not complain. Rut the young
er Wanamaker (who Is now the only
son! would have gained an eminent po
sition tn American affairs without the
boost which his name gave him. He
sides establishing tho Wanamaker
Parts branch Hnd later running the
New York store, he has made so ninny
amazingly lucky Investments thnt the
fortune he will inherit some day will
be only on Item In his ample nteans.
Offers 50.000 Dollsrs.
Rodman Wanamaker enters the
trans-Atlantic crossing arena with all
the enthusiasm of Queen Isabella and
with much better credit.
laird Northdlffe, tlreat Britain’s
leading publisher, has offered a fifty
thousand dollar prixe for the first
crossing jif the Mg pond by aeroplane,
so Mr Wanamaker has a chance to re
coup part of the fortune he may have
to place at the disposal of the Ingen
ious Mr t'urtlss. And he can collect a
further $5,000 from Mrs, Victoria
Woodhull Martin, an English flying
patron.
So when the Wanamaker-Curt Is*
flyer swoops off a Newfoundland cliff
next August with her eight-cylinder.
200 horse power engine chug-chugging
and IJeut Porto or some other hardy
navigator of the pathless upper air at
the wheel there will be $55,000 sitting
on the west coast of Ireland and beck
oning to the steel bird.
But If there were nothing more at
the end of the journey than Isabella
had reason to believe lay below the
hortxon of Cadlt, Mr. Wanamaker
would have said just the same, "tilenn,
we aren't going to give this up until!
we fly across" For he belongs to the
class of young Americans horn rich
who do things, who play six. but work
ten hours a day; and who accomplish
what they sot out to do.
One of Hobbies.
Aeroplanes have long been one of
Mr Wanamaker's hobbles, but he has
many others life Insurance. automo
biles, yachts, fine paintings, and the
American Indian. This last should
stand at the top of the list.
He decided that the noble aborigine
Aviator Says Will Yet Cross Atlantic
should have a great national memorial
at Fort Tompkins, Staten Island, the
highest point of land overlooking New
Y’ork harbor.
To convince Congress that money
should be appropriated for this pur
pose he set up and conducted an In
dian exhibition in Washington. Few
members of Congress after seeing the
things which Mr Wanamaker and his
friend, Buffalo Bill," dsplayed, failed
to lose their objections to the monu
ment project. Mr Wanamaker won
his fight and was made head of the
committee to select a design and erect
the statue. Last year thirty-two In
dian chiefs paid reverence to the Stars
and Stripes at the laying of the cor
nerstone. Some of them had fought
the white man, killed and massacred
them through many years. One car
ried twenty-three bullets In his body.
Seeing their enthusiasm for the flag.
Mr. Wanamaker conceived the idea of
carrying the message of the great
sculptured Indian which will stand be
side the Statue of Liberty to all the
169 tribes governed by Uncle Sam. He
organized an “expedition of citizen
ship." This expedition found many
difficulties. In u corner of New Mex
ico was discovered a highly Intelligent
tribe which hnd never seen or heard
of the flag. Someltnes the members
of the expedition had to argue long
with the Indians before persuading
them that the w hlte men were no lon
ger their enemies They hnd to trav
el twenty-five thousand miles, much
of thin by stage and horseback. But
they did not give up until every' little
nation had received Its big red, white
and blue flag of fine material, had
hauled up and unfurled the emblem,
and hnd sworn allegiance to the Great
White FKther.
Another Pet.
Another of Mr. Wanamaker's pet
projects Is the American Art Associa
tion In I’arls. After he had been
graduated from Princeton Univer
sity Mr. Wanamaker went abroad to
look after his father's Interests In the
French capital. He lived there so many
years that he was even accused, but
wrongfully, of llklntt French life bet
ter than American. Ho became much
Interested In the struggles of young
artistic geniuses from ncross the wa
ter. He knew of cases where they had
lived in garrets, starved, grown melan
choly and even taken their own lives
for iaok of a friend and cheerful sur
roundings.
The American Art Association had
started In humble quarters anil had
done a groat work In bringing together
the poor young students. Mr. Wana
maker established the organization in
Its present commodious quarters, paid
the salary of an excellent chef, and
gave a fixed sum every year for gen
eral expenses. The downcast young
dauber can now wander Into these
cheery quarters, eat a fine meal for
a small price and, what Is more, find
a good word from home. English and
French art students take advantage as
well
At the salons, too. Mr Wanamaker
was a familiar figure. He bought pic
tures by unknowm artists in large
numbers. From the salon of 1903 he
obtained more than four hundred can-
vases. These he shipped to America.
In London Mr. Wanamaker is also
well known. He rented the big place
called Taplow Court on the bank of
the Thames lost year from the Des
borough family.
But though he has lived most of his
years abroad. Mr. Wanamaker picked
an American girl. Miss Fernanda Hen
ry, for his wife. She died in 1900.
Nine years later he married another
American young woman. Miss Violet
Cruger.
Mentioned As Ambassador.
Mr. Wanamaker was mentioned at
one time as a possible Ambassador to
France. Ho is now about forty-five
years old. It is quite certain that the
American people will grant him signal
honor some day. The French govern
ment has done so many years ago. Not
only for his work in making the life of
the Paris art students brighter, but
for important lalxjr in bringing the
United States and France more closely
together commercially, he was made a
chevalier of the Legion of Honor In
1897 and ten years later President Fal
lieres named him an officer In this dis
tinguished body.
Mr. WaJiamaker is now a resident of
New Y’ork, but he is much interested
in Philadelphia. Recently he gave
$50,000 to that city for the benefit of
municipal employes who were injured
in tho discharge of their duty. In
New York he recently gave a fine
trophy to the New York Public School
Athletic. League. His interest in aero
planes dates back at least to 1909,
when he purchased a Blerlot. In 1911
he gave an endurance trophy to an air
meet held at Nasau Boulevard, Long
Island, He has also presented a spe
cial racing balloon to the Aero Club of
America, which will be entered iti the
International contests starting from
Kansas City next October.
WEEK'S FINANCE REVIEW
New York.—Factors which helped to
sustain prices of stocks earlier In the
months waned In Influence lust week.
London's eurly hopefulness for an Irish
settlement gave way to anxiety over
signs of an inflammatory state of feel
ing. The New Haven agreement with
the government relieved fears of a dead
lock. but gave no posltlx-e benefit to the
mharket.| nnouncement of hearings of
the eastern railroads’ petition for a five
per cent advance In freight rates can
celled the effect of the previous week's
rumors of early favorabie action.
There were some heavy declines in
February net earnings of railroads In
spite of reductions In outlay and the
decrease In total of idle freight cars. The
cut in the dividends of Pittsburg, C. C.
and St. Louis common, and preferred
and suspension of Norfolk Southern's
payments gave a concrete object lesson
of the difficulties confronting the rail
roads.
The .necessity for railroad economies
explained the cheerless feeling in the
steel trade. Gloomy predictions were
heard of an April Ist curtailment of out
put and a break tn prices. Orders and
specifications were reported to be com
ing in at the rate of about half the
current shipments from the nulls.
There was said to be buying of cop
per. but textile mills were looking for
ward to reduced tWoductioh.
Acute weakness in special stocks grew
out of trust prosecutions and financial
needs. Additional note issues by rail
roads. rather than bond Issues, were
discussed In spite of the easy money
conditions.
Varying Influences on the check »o
business were ascribed to the Intended
trust legislation, the federal bank re
serve cx-ganlzation and the Mex:can
problem.
The number of women lawyers In
New York city Is steadily increasing.
