ROOSEVELT'S NEW SECRETARY
CAREER OF WILLIAM LOEB, JR.,. WHO HAS REACHED GREAT
PROMINENCE AT THE AGE OF THIRTY-SIX
rASHDTGTON, March 9. (Special
Correspondence.) Of all young
Americans in their thirties the
most conspicuous in our National life
today is "William Ioeb, Jr., Just elevated
to the difficult and responsible office of
Becretary to the President.
Secretary Loeb is only 25. He receives
a Senator's salary of $5000 a year. His
rank Is but one step below that of our
department heads. His new office has
thrice been a stepping-stone to the Cabi
net, once to tho high office of Ambassa
dor. A brilliant future would appear to
await him. The bright star of the young
man in' National life has been rapidly in
the ascendant during the past six years.
It is nearer tho zenith today than ever
'before in our entire history.
The new secretary is entitled to an
"honorable" beforo his name. An in
cumbent of his office must now be con
firmed by the Senate. Just beforo Presi
dent McKinley's first' term the title of
the office was changed from "private sec
retary" to "secretary." "llr. Secretary,"
the same form of address applied to
Cabinet members. Is employed by "White
House visitors who greet Mr. Loeb at
least by those versed in official etiquette.
Secretary Loeb has been known as
"Roosevelt's right-hand man" since the
head of the Nation came here as Vice
President In 1301. He has been nearer- to
the President than any other man, young
or old, during the past year and a half,
having stood in the same relation to his
chief as did Mr. Cortolyou to President
McKinley, during the incumbency of the
late John Addison Porter as secretary to
the President. .
Busiest American Officer.
To preside over tho busiest office in all
of the Americas is no small task for a
young man in the thirties. But ho had
watched "the wheels go round" for many
months beforo he took his station at the
throttle controlling them. Under present
conditions It would be well-nigh a har
rowing task for a "green" man to as
sume these responsibilities. Before enter
ing upon his "White House duties Secre
tary Porter received some tutoring frpm
his Immediate predecessor. Secretary
Thurber, and even called upon former
Private Secretary L.amont for advice.
A perfectly clean desk greeted Secre
tary Loeb when he assumed his office.
Such had been the perfect executive abil
ity of Secretary Cortelyou that no tin
finished business was carried forward.
Secretary Loeb's new office in the much
critic! sed "White House annex, which Dem
ocratic Representatives recently referred
to in public debate as a "Western dug
out," "chicken coop," "carriage barn"
and "coalhouse' is in the center of the
south side of the littlo white building. He
sits it a broad flat-top mahogany desk
and faces the door through which all vis
itors enter. At his right hand is a small
er desk, occupied by Assistant Secretaary
Barnes. On his left is a large room filled
with clerks and stenographers: on his
right, a doorway leading to the Presi
dent's private office. The secretary's room
is furnished in mahogany and his massive
desk rests upon a handsome India-rug.
Ho faces a cheerful fireplace kept burning
during tho chill "Winter days. Arthur Sim
mons, a veteran colored messenger, who
has done duty about the "White House
since Johnson's administration, guards
the secretary's door leading into the com
bined hallway and reception-room In
which guests awaiting the. President and
secretary must now content themselves.
Simmons Is the buffer between the impa
tient crowd and the secretary. He owes
his longtenure of office to his acumen in
"sizing up" strangers. No "one can see
the President without first seeing Secre
tary Loeb, and no one can see Secretary
Loeb without first seeing -Simmons and
inducing that functionary to take in his
card.
Mr. Loeb's routine is as follows: Tho

RODNEY BLAKFS PARAGRAPHS ABOUT PROMINENT
PEOPLE HE SEES IN GOTHAM'S GREAT THOROUGHFARE
EW YORK, March 2. (Special cor
respondence.) I met Arthur Bris
bane and Richard Harding Davis,
arm in arm, in front of Daly's Theater,
today. Both prosperous young men they
are, and old friends, too, and both have
an income of 10,000 plunks a year. These
two mon met for tho first time in Lon
don, where Brisbane was acting as cor
respondent for the Sun and Davis was
doing "space work" on a London paper.
They shook hands and parted. Davis came
back to this country and went straight
from the steamer to City Hall Park. He
had two letters one to Chester .Lord,
managing editor of tho Sun, the other to
Joseph Pulitzer, of tho World. He was
tired and sat down on a bench in the
park to rest and plan his mode of attack
on Messrs. Pulitzer and Lord. Along came
his chanco London acquaintance, the
young Sun correspondent He had come
home to edit tho Evening Sun.
"Hullo, Davis!"
"How aro you, Brisbane?
"What ore you doing hereT"
"Going to try to get on the World or
Sun. I've got a couple of letters here
from Blakely Hall to Pulitzer and Lord,
and if I don't catch on (smilingly) well,
thero's the river."
"Oh. cheer up." quoted Brisbane.
"What's the matter with tho Evening
Sun? You come on tomorrow, and I'll
put you to work. Thirty-five per week.
How docs that hit you?"
Brisbane left Richard Harding Davis
alone with his newly found happiness, and
as Davis was still tired, he continued to
sit upon the bench in the pari:. He looked
and was dressed like an Englishman; had
his bag, his canes, umbrellas, checked suit
and trousers turned up. Along came a
bunco steerer. This bunco steerer piloted
RI-hard to a house in Broome street, and
then came back to the Astor House to get
a check cashed. Davis went into the As
tor. but could not find the private detective-
The bunco man was waiting Out
side for $1000 of Davis good money. In
despair ho determined to arrest the man
himself There wasn't a policeman In
ttight Thero was a great fight and a
great crowd. Davis held on to his man
and the louder the crowd hooted the tight
er grew his grip. At last a policeman
came and was disposed to treat tho whole
th'ng as a huge Joke, but Davis shouted:
"You arrest this man! You are not doing
it fr me, for back of mo Is the New York
San. I am a reporter on the Sun. You
let this man go and youH be broke."
That had a certain effect on the crowd
and the policeman. The former turned
around and Jeered the unfortunate bunco
steerer. and cheered Davis. That after
noon the name of Richard Harding Davis
was In every New York paper, and on
every newspaper bulletin. It was also In
tho Evening Sun. Mr. Davis had made a
ten strike. The next day he was the talk
of tho town.
Lew Fields, of Weber and Fields fame,
met a youthful acquaintance at the Gllscy
Houso corner yesterday. Tho young man
rattled off eight new and seasonable Jokes ,
into the ear of Mr. Fields, who received
the Gatling-gun fire of witticisms arlth a .
smile on his face. "Forget em." he said
to the young fellow. "Don't tell em no
more to nobody any more." and he pulled
a roll of greenback and handed over JS.
Fields said to me afterwards: "Three dol-
lars ejoke, and cheap for -the money." J

lows an incumbent of his office drives
him up to the new executive office build
ing soon after his breakfast. By that
time a goodly collection of Senators, Rep
resentatives and other callers have ar
rived and given their cards to Simmons.
The secretary having glanced over the
important letters sorted out from the
morning's moil, receives the cards, and
at 10, o'clock designates to Simmons those
visitors who may be admitted to see the
President. These fortunate ones gather
in groups in the secretary's office, and
directly the door to the eastward opens
and the President enters. Then begins
the first "round-up" of the morning, and
the stranger making his initial call de
parts amazed at the celerity with which tho
head of the Nation disposes of his call
ers. The President grasps the hands of
the group nearest his door. "Good, morn
ing, I am very glad to see you. Indeed I
am very sorry that I cannot do that.
You remember that In the case of Senator

"Good morning, Congressman yes, I think
that it can- be attended to Just step Into
my private office." "How do you do, Ma
jor I will give the matter my Immediate
attention and you shall hear from me at
the earliest possible moment" And so he
"cleans up the crowd" and disappears.
Thus begins the daily routine on Mon
days, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Satur-'
"Chimmle Fadden" famous, came down
the pike on the Fifth-avenue side thle
kmornlng with, a copy of his new book.
"Lees ana Leaven," under nis arm. Town
send, has been hiding in the country for
two years, hard at work upon this book,
which is likely to bring him a small for
tune. It is not generally known that Mr.
Townsend was bom in Cleveland, of par
ents who were originally New Yorkers.
When not more than 15 years old he began
to send to the Cleveland newspapers ar
ticles which were promptly printed. Be
foro he was of age he went to California
to study mining, but Journalism had laid
a beguiling hand upon -the boy, and after
some experience on rural Journals he did
a great deal of good work upon the San
Francisco newspapers. Then he came to
New York, and is still at work for the
local press.
There are certain actors in this town
who never leave Broadway. There aro
some who love to get on the big white
way as soon as they can. Conspicuous
among them is Nat Goodwin, who gener
ally walks wearing an Irreproachable top
hat,. a jrhlle Bilk neck scarf and a very
smart black coat with velvet collar. The
popular Nat is, when he gets up In time,
a great walker, and besides doing Broad
way two or three times, he Invariably
makes a wallrfrom bis house a distance
of a mile or more.
Archibald Clavering Guntcr, fat and
prosperous, can be found basking In the

jtie is taxing lire easy, ana it is easy
work, for Gunter Is worth a cool million.
His nrst popular novel, "Mr. Barnes, of
New York," published 16 years ago, is
still selling, and they tell me more copies
of .the book have been sold than any other
novel published since tho war.
Lloyd Osborne, novelist, and stepson of
Robert Louis Stevenson, rambles down
tho avenue every morning when the sun
shines. He is a big, tall chap, and very
handsome. Ho Is here for the Winter, and
makes his home at the Lambs' Club.
Lately he has built a, new house In San
Franclscq, which lively city he calls
home.
Home again from his occasional vaude
ville "stunt." the diminutive Marshall P.
Wilder is seen in Upper Board way, most
always .with a pretty girl at his side.
Wilder lives at the same old nest at
Thirty-third street and Broadway, where
he flings tho same old flair to the breeze.
' He tells me ho is arranging to go to
England early In April.
A frail, delicate little woman, but very
pretty, is Hallie Ermlnle Rives. The
Southern writer and author of "Hearts
Courageous," who is a society woman as
well as a novelist. Is a familiar figure on
Broadway. She Is here for the Winter,
and has another novel nearly ready for
the press.
George Ade, who Is coining money from
his comic opera, has deserted dear old
Broadway, and returned to Chicago. Out
of his weekly Income of $1000 a week
Mr. Ade puts away two-thirds of it in
the -bank. He'll bo as rich as the Sultan
of Sulu before the Christmas bells ring
again.
I saw Dr. Parkhurst la the Tenderloin
yesterday &xoe eld doctor, samo old tour
days. The secretary has printed and
posted the "White House Rules," which
state that on these days the President will
receive Senators and Representatives be
tween 10 and 12, and other visitors be
tween 12 and 1, so far as the public busi
ness will permit. Tuesdays and Fridays
being Cabinet days, no visitors are re
ceived by the President. After Mr. Roose
velt has disposed of the, first roomful! of
callers and concluded the more confidential
Interviews with those invited into his
sanctum, another batch of men has been
admitted to the secretary's office. To
these the President returns and they re
ceive the same cordial but brief treatment.
And thus the crowd is sifted down until
time for luncheon.
A Sad Initiation.
On Secretary Loeb's first day at his new
post a grief-stricken woman, with a little
girl weeping at her side, begged between
her sobs that she might see the President
to gain a commutation for her husband,
sentenced to be hanged In Alaska. The
last boat which could take word to stay
the execution was to start before many
bours. The man had deserted her and his"
children for another woman, but she was
fighting a bravo battlo for his life The
Attorney-General had reported against
the condemned man, and the unfortunate
woman had to be gently turned away.
This was the new secretary's initiation.
Mr. Loeb will serve as the mouthpiece
through which the. President will talk to
the press. While taking .some highly
of Investigation. Folk treat him kindly,
and why should they not, for his hair
and his famous chin whisker grow whiter
and whiter? As a reformer. Dr. Park
hurst delivered his first reform sermon
in 1S32, and, after 13 years of strenuous
ness, he is Just as lively as ever. He
stands today at once the best-loved and
the most-hated man in New York. As a
reformer he has placed himself in tho
company of Luther and the grand men of
the past His first Intimation that ho
proposed to depart from the quiet ways
of an ordinary clergyman and make his
name a synonym for the battle against
crime came in a sermon preached in the
Madison-Avenue Presbyterian Church,
about the midde of February, 1S92. After
tho sermon came his famous personal in
vestigation of the slums and New York
fully recognizes now that these were un
dertaken In sublime courage, with no
vulgar wishing for notoriety and these
were followed by a second -sermon,
preached March 14. 1S92. After that his
fight for right was continuous and suc

Launched on Wave of Officeseclcers.
In office-seeking times a secretary to.
the President suffers his. worst trials and
tribulations. Secretary Loeb came Into
office facing a temporary wave of this nui
sance resulting from the establishment
of the new Department of Commerce and
Labor; But as a result of the well-nigh
complete civil service reform now extend
ing over the great executive establish
ment, office-seeking will never become so
much of a nuisance as it has been in
times gone by.
Tact and a wide acquaintance with men
of affairs are the main, keynotes to Secre
tary Loeb's success. - He is not a college
man. He commenced' his career as a mes
senger boy at 12, but later received a,
high school education and a thorough
training in stenography.- His first em
ployment after graduation was In the office
of a newspaper correspondent,- where epeed
and "willingness to adapt himself to ir
regular hours were the prime requisites.
Then he found better pay in the office of
a business man until Bishop Doane se
lected him as his amanuensis.
In his make-up there was none of the
nomadic spirit characteristic of the aver
age young man with equal self-reliance.
He wasvborn in Albany of stolid German
parentage, ''and as he matured he gained
the friendship of the Influential men .who
frequented the Empire Capital. Unlike
his predecessor, he had a taste for poli
tics, and at an early age became the chief
lieutenant of Eugene Burllngame, the then
Republican leader of Albany. ' He was
secretary to the Republican county com
mittee when scarcely more than a youth,
and served two years as vice-president
of the Unconditional Republican Club.
When only 22 he was elected official sten
ographer of the Lower House of the
New York Legislature, a position which
demanded great skill, and which was
fraught with many responsibilities for one
of his lew years.
Meeting- With. Roosevelt.
During the first few months of Mr.
Roosevelt's administration as Governor of
New York, Mr. Loeb served as one of tho
four executive stenographers. Had he
been a young man of mediocre ability he
would never have attracted the strenuous
Rough Rider's attention. As it was, Mr. J
in his short career that he had a personal
acquaintance with all of tho public men
frequentlng-'the state capital. Since serv1
lng as stenographer to the assembly he
had been private secretary to a Lieutenant-Governor,
a president pro tern of the
State Senate, a speaker of the Assembly
and a candidate for the office of Governor.
With the latter, Mr. Fassett, he had
toured the state during a spirited cam
paign. He had reported the debates of
the constitutional convention and had
been stenographer to the District Attor
ney and grand jury
Governor Roosevelt
soon realized that a young man
with
such experience and -wide acquaintance
would be valuable to him as his private
and confidential secretary. ' Mr Loeb re
ceived the promotion. And ho -has been
"Roosevelt's right-hand man" ever since.
Prior to President Buchanan's adminis
tration each President had to -furnish his i
own private secretary and pay for such
services out of his own pocket; and in
those days the Presidential salary was
but $35,000 a year. But the work of the
Presidential office was as nothing in those
early times compared with what it is now.
