JAMES DOUGLAS RED) DEAD
Ex-TJnited States Consul and "Father
ot the Telegraph.'
NEW YORK, April 28.-James Douglas
Held, known to "telegraphers as "The
Father of the Telegraph," died today at
his home in this city. He was born in
Edinburgh, Scotland, March 22, 1S09, and
came to America in 1834. He entered
telegraphy in 1845, -when he assisted in
the organization of the Atlantic & Ohio
Telegraph Company for the construction
of a series of lines connecting Philadel
phia, Pittsburg, Buffalo, Detroit, Cincin
nati. St. Louis and New Orleans, the most
extensive service projected at that time.
Becoming acquainted with Professor S. F.
B. Morse, a mutual attachment sprung up
between them, which led to Mr. Reid's
appointment as superintendent of the
Magnetic Telegraph Company, a line ex
tending from New York to Washington.
At the same time he retained his connec
tion with the Atlantic & Ohio Company,
He entered the service of the Western
Union Telegraph Company In 1S50, where
he remained until 1889. -when he was ap
pointed United States Consul to Dun
fermlle. Scotland, through the influence of
Andrew Carnegie, who as a boy served
as messenger and telegraph operator
under Mr. Reid at Pittsburg. He relin
quished this office In 1897. The statue of
Professor Morse in Central Park, this

CROCKER THE MAN
To Be Foster's Choice for
Washington Coliectorship.
WILSON FAVORS MARSHAL IDE
Test of Strength to Be Made Between
Senator and Ex-Senator Wilson
Is Now East, Presumably Con
sulting President.
TACOMA, April 23. That B. D. Crocker,
of Walla Walla, will receive the indorse
ment of Senator Foster for Collector of
Customs at Port Townsend Is the opin
ion of a majority of the well-informed
politicians of this city and state. It is
certain that were the appointment to be
made now, Mr. Crocker would get the
indorsement. It is not to be made until
September, however, and many things
may transpire In the meantime to cause a
change of programme. Most of those
close to Senator Foster believe Mr. Crock
er will be the lucky man in any event.
His selection by Senator Foster will
Immediately raise the issue of (-whether
the Senator himself or John L. Wilson has
the most Influence at Washington City.
The Wilson faction all over the state,
taking the cue apparently from the ex
Senator, are alleging that Senator
Foster long ago promised his support for
the Coliectorship to Clarence W. Ide, pres
ent United States Marshal, and one of the
leading Wilson men in the state. This tale
Is improbable to any person who has even
a cursory knowledge of state politics, for
there is no common ground of affinity be
tween the Wilson and Foster factions.
Mr Foster's every action since his elec
tion, together with the make-up of his
political following, give absolute color to
the belief that he Is allied with Levi An
keny, Mr. Wilson's greatest rival. Mr.
Crocker is an intimate friend of Mr. An
keny, and his local manager in Walla
Walla County. In fact, it is believed he
will be the active manager of Mr. An
keny's next Senatorial campaign.
Despite evidences of an alliance between
Foster and Ankeny the Wilson men assert
that the Coliectorship has been promised
to Mr. Ide. Senator Wilson Is now in the
East, and It Is believed to be his inten
tion to bring the matter to the atten
tion of President McKlnley. When
Wilson was In the Senate he was one of
a little group of Western Senators, com
posed of Carter, Shoup, Wolcott, McBrlde
and Hansbrough, who stood close to the
President. Mark Hanna flatly told J. H.
Schlvely, chairman of the Republican
state central committee in 1899, that the
President desired to see Wilson returned, a
consummation which did not occur. Since
that time there have been many evidences
that Wllspn still has the friendship of the
President, but he has been on two occa
sions, .emphatically repudiated by. $heRe-
puuucuus ojl uie siaie, ana it isi.ne gen
eral impression that President McKlnley
can no longer meet his jvishes where
they conflict with those of Senator Fos
ter, the official head of the party In the
state.
Wilson Tells of an Agreement.
Senator Foster had scarcely arrived
home from-Washington recently when Mr.
Wilson scurried across the mountains
from Spokane, giving out to his friends
that he was going over to see the Sena
tor. Whether he actually saw him or not
nobody knows. The general Impression Is
that he did, however, and that Senator
Foster gave him cold comfort on the Ide
proposition. Mr. Wilson, after staying
on Puget Sound a few days, returned to
Spokane, and then left for the East.
Whils in Spokane on his return trip,
however, Mr. Wilson gave out that he had
reached an agreement with Senator Fos
ter whereby he was to name the Federal
officers in Spokane County. On the
strength of this statement, Harry Wil
son, the Senator's brother, told a candi
date for Postmaster for Spokane that he
would have to stand aside; that the Wil
son machine had determined that Post
master Temple should be reappointed.
This candidate for Postmaster is not
satisfield with the statement. Like hun
dreds of others throughout the state, he
does not place any faith in the report
that an understanding of any sort or de
scription has been reached between Fos
ter and Wilson. He will, therefore, con
tinue his fight for the office, and will make
It boldly as an anti-Wilson man.
No later than last week. Senator Fos
ter Is reported to have told a well-known
southwest politician that he had not the
remotest Idea of Indorsing Mr. Ide for the
Coliectorship, and there was no reason
why he should. This lends credibility to
the story that Mr. Wilson, realizing that
he has nothing to hope for from Senator
Foster, has gone East to lay his troubles
before the President.
Should the President turn him down, and
announce his intention to defer solely to
the wishes of Senator Foster In the mat
ter of Washington patronage, it will be a
serious blow to the Wilson machine.
While Senator Wilson has never openly
boasted of his Influence with 'the Presi
dent, there is no doubt that many of those
who have followed him In his numerous
fights have been buoyed up with the be
lief that in case of a "show-down" the
Wilson influence at Washington was still
stronger than that of Senator Foster. The
appointment of Mr. Crocker will shatter
that belief.
Trying to Regain Prestige.
The reason for Senator Wilson's asser
tion that he has formed a combination
with Senator Foster Is easily discernible
to one who Is familiar with the situation
In Spokane County. Since the humiliating
defeat of Mr. Frlnk, Wilson's candidate
for Governor, last Fall, the Wilson ma
chine In Spokane County has been disin
tegrating. For years Wilson has been ab
solute dictator in Spokane County. He
has named Its county ofllcers, its dele
gates to the state convention, its members
of the Legislature. His word has been
absolute law, and men like .Judge James
Z. Moore, who have stood forth and dared
to fight him, have been remorselessly
crushed.
The failure of Mr. Wilson" to connect
with the Governor's office disheartened
mony of his followers, and there was talk
of a new deal, and the selection of a new
leader. Wilson realized this, and calling
his leading supporters together, announced
that he would no longer be a candidate for
office. He afterward repudiated this state
ment, but it gave several of his support
ers. Including Register S. A. Wells, of the
Spokane land office, a chance to get off the
Wilson Ice-wagon.
In the present municipal campaign
there has been much muttering among
Republicans against the nomination of a
Wilson' man for Mayor, and for the first
time in his life Mr. Wilson has had to
fight under cover in Spokane County.
Heretofore he has simply called his lieu
tenants together, and told them what he
wanted. This time ne nad to keep his
candidate in the dark, knowing that an
open fight for him meant defeat. Dr. C.
G. Brown, the nominee for Mayor, is not
unfriendly to Wilson. In fact It is be
lieved that he will be guided, if elected,
by the wishes of the Wilson machine, but
he was not the first choice of the ex
Senator. His alleged friendliness, however,
may cost Brown the election.
To sum up, therefore, and to put the sit
uation roughly, Mr. Wilson's assertion
that he is in a combination with Mr. Fos
ter is for the sole purpose of convincing his
former supporters that he Is not "a dead
one"; that he still has a pull, and that
his power to deliver goods to his hench
men is not entirely gone. Take all pow
er to deliver patronage away from Senator
Wilson, and every bit of political Influ
ence which he ever had will be gone. On
the other hand "If he demonstrates that
he has power to put Mr. Ide In the best
political office In the state, his stock will
go up several points.
Mr. Wilson is a candidate for Senator.
There can be no doubt on this point. It
looks now as though he will not make an
open fight, but his personality will be felt,
and he will eagerly watclithe chance to
get in. He owns the Seattle Post-Intelligencer,
and through Its columns is dally
making warfare on his political enemies.
The establishment of a new daily In Seattle-
by L. S. J. Hunt will seriously
cripple the power of the Post-Intelligencer,
but as no one believes that Mr.
Hunt's paper will support Levi Ankeny,
-oo'ot -

a-----9 ,,
the latter will not be directly benefited
by its establishment.
The general desire among Mr. Wilson's
enemies, particularly those in the An
keny camp, is that -the establishment of
the Hunt paper will cut off the profits of
the Post-Intelligencer, and that Mr. Wil
son will thereby default In his payments.
This would mean that he would be crowd
ed out, and that Mr. Ankeny, who has
almost unlimited capital to back the
paper in its fight against Hunt,, will be
able to secure control. Mr. Hunt, as
sisted by ex-Governor McGraw, Lieuten-
ant-Governor McBride. and a host of otn
er West Side politicians, will probably at
tempt to elect a King County man Sen
ator, probably either Harold Preston or
Samuel H. Piles. With Wilson in con
trol of the Post-Intelligencer, this would
mean a three-cornered fight. With An
keny in control of the Post-Intelligencer,
It would mean a straight fight between
him and the Hunt candidate. Mr. Wilson
without an organ would be an inconsid
erable figure in-the politics of the state.
Who Mr. Crocker Is.
B. D. Crocker, the prospective An-keny-Foster
candidate for the Collector
ship of Customs, Is comparatively a new
figure in politics. Until the last few
years he was not very well known. His
political shrewdness, however, is gener
ally recognized, and It Is said had his
advice been followed upon one or two
occasions, Mr. Ankeny's political fortunes
would have prospered better. He Is the
accredited spokesman of the Ankeny men.
In Walla Walla County, and is the coun-"
ty's representative of the Republican
State Central Committee. Mr. Crocker Is
something of a diplomat, but he prefers
running politics with a club or an ax
where he has power to do so. He has a
strong personality, and it is evident that
in future political fights In Washington
he will have to be reckoned with. Mr.
Crocker is a prosperous business man.
The Northwest Is a section in which
those who expect to join the Hunt move
ment anticipate having their own way.
The transfer of Mr. Crocker to Port Town
send, where the Custom-House is lo
cated, will mean that Lieutenant-Governor
McBride, who will be the mainstay
of the Hunt faction, will have a foeman
worthy of his steel. It will mean a bit
ter fight, a condition in which Mr. Mc
Bride and Mr. Crocker both revel.
