PAYNE Washington, D. C., Feb. 19.—'The new secretary of ‘the interior is en- titled to write “F. F, V.”—First Fam- ily of Virginia—after his name. Pruntytown, Fauguier county, Va., is the place Joh Barton Payne first saw the light. The “Barton” is an old, family name; “he gets it from his mother, who was Elizabeth Barton Smith. = Payne was educated in a private school in [Fauquier county and was admitted to the bar in 1876. He moved to West Virginia, where he five first years and: incidentally took his plunge into democratic ~ politics as chairman of the democratic commit- tee of Preston county. A term on the cirenit- court bench followed; then a term as mayor of Kingwood. But though a southerner “of the leld school” by birth and _ training, “Judge” Payne, as his friends call him, ,is also a product of the middle west. He moved to Chicago in 1883, where he practiced law and went on the bench as judge “®f the superior court of Cook county. When ‘the war came Judge. Payne helped organize the machinery for taking the first army draft. Then the Emergency Fleet corpor- lation called Kim in as general counsel and Secretaty McAdoo took him away from the fleet corporation when the director general of railroads needed lan expert legal adviser on railroad problems. Judge Payne’s knowledge of railroading was gained while he was serving as general counsel for jthe Chicago Great Western railway. McAdoo knew about his value to_the shipping board, where he was famous as a mediator of labor disputes. Judge Payne is a wgdower; his wife died in August, 1919. FIRES PROVE EXPENSIVE Calumet, Mich.
