FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1928 THE TRIBUNE PRESENTS EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH MAN WHO ROUGHED IT WITH HOOVER IN AUSTRALIAN GOLD FIELDS Was Regular Human Being Doing Things is Big Way, Repadlican Nominee Liked to Read Detective Stories in Bed t - Kirkland, Ariz., Oct, 26.—Herbert Hoover, a remarkably clever young mining engineer, tramping through + mountainous regions miles from civ- ilization, and descending deep into the ground to examine ore veins. That chapter of the Republican residential nominee’s life, which Feretofore has remained practically hidden, was revealed today by W. J. Lo in an exclusive interview with NEA Service and The Tribune. Lor- ing, who has spent 47 years in the mining business, was formerly presi- dent of the American Mining Con- gress and is today one of the out- standing figures in the mining in- dustry, worked with Hoover for many years in Australian and Mew Zealand gold field: Prior ig that association the two boty hate for te same peaytet the a Mining Company, but not know each other. Loring was stationed at the ’s camp mine fin California, while Hoover was pushing a car in the Mayflower mine miles distant, It was the pres- Perey first job after uation from Stanford Uni- Began at 24 “Hoover went t8 work for’ the Bewick Moreing Company, a Lon- don mining concern, in 1898, at the age of 24,’ ring relates. “He had been’ working for Louis Janin, San Francisco mining engineer, having gone there from the Utica company. Janin gave him desk room in his office and occasionally sent him out on examination work. However, the fjob was not very lucrative. “Then the West Australian gold boom started and the Bewick Mor ing Company cabled Janin asking him to send two American engineers to Australia. Hoover was one of the men whom Janin selected. “On Feb. 1, 1902, after Hoover had become partner in the firm, he offered me # job as field engineer looking for new properti That was the beginning of the most plea: ant association I have ever known— tan association which continued un- jtil July 1, 1908, when I bought his interest in the firm. {. “During those years I learned to know Hoover even better than he knew himself. In those days he was a tall, thin, good-looking fellow who ‘did things in a big way—just as he does now. During my stay in Aus- \tralia, Hoover maintained his head- quarters in London. But he made early visits to all of the Bewick jMoreing _ mines throughout Aus- jtralia and New Zealand. I accom- }panied him on all of these trips, \ which always required three or four |months.” j ; According to Loring, Hoover in possessed most of the ich today are still a part of his make-up. He was just a regular human ing—kind to everyone, quiet and of a serious nature. He never talked unless he had some- thing to say, absolutely shunning anything in the way of small chatter. ‘And he scarcely ever told a story Jalthough he did possess a sense of humor. His mind was constantly on his business which he viewed-in a broad way. Details didn’t interest him a particle. 9} | jective Story “Fan” ! “Hoover had only one recreation,” continued Lori he would in and read detec- ‘tive stot He needed something | |those da} traits w) ‘\ to take his mind off his work before going to sleep and they served that urpose. But even in his reading, Fe practiced his economical, time- ing methods. ‘In those days we had only candles for lights in the- mining camps. ‘H, C.’—as we called him—would place the candles on the bed by his pillow. When he finished reading, candle and book would both go to the fleor with one movement. He never wasted time on anything. “We lived in rough mining shacks under the boiling sun in a country ‘where the heat was almost unbear- lable and rain seldom fell. “Another of Hoover's outstanding traits was that he never complained jabout anything. During the time that I was working for him as gen- ‘jeral manager of the mines in both |Austratia.and New Zealand, he wrote Ime hundreds of letters. Every one of them contained words of encour- lagement—never a single complaint, ‘And he certainly had plenty of unds for finding fault since I was ndling large sums of money and thousands of men.

London’s First Talkie Is Damned by Critics London, Oct. 26.—(4)—Londoners saw their first complete talking mo- tion picture last night, and today newspaper reviewers either damned it with faint praise or scored it un- mercifully. The picture was “The i] error,” and much of the adverse criticism was directed at the drama itself. The general verdict, however, was that talking motion pictures, judged by this sample, were insuf- ferably slow, tedious, and unreal, Vater to Speak on Prohibition Sunday “Is Prohibition a Failure” is the topic of a sermon which will be de- livered Sunday evening at the Mc- Cabe Methodist Episcopal church by Rev.

CABIN OPENED FOR NAVY DAY Bismarck Schools Observing Roosevelt and Navy Day Programs a, m. Monday, leav- Roosevelt’s cabin, situated near the Memorial capitol building, will be open between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. tomorrow in honor of Theodore Roosevelt and Navy Day, according to officials of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The cabin has been closed since October 15. It will be open for pub- lic inspection tomorrow. Cities all over the state are cele- brating Navy Day tomorrow, and most of .the schools have dedicated programs this week to Navy Day. Roosevelt’s birthday falls on that day this year. Bismarck schools had scheduled Navy Day and Roosevelt programs for this afternoon. Request that all members of the American legion in North Dakota join in the celebration of Navy Day and promote its observance in the schools and elsewhere was contained in an ordered issued here today by J. K. Kennelly, department com- mander. “It is imperative to the continued security of the nation that our peo- ple have an appreciation of the value of the navy as the first line of de- fense,” Kennelly said. “I hope that every member of the American le- gion will do what he can to impress this truth on the public. “The fact that Navy Day comes this year on the birthday of Theo- dore Roosevelt makes it of special interest to North Dakotans. Roose- velt’s interest in the navy, together with the affections which North Da- kotans had for him and the affection of Roosevelt for this state, should stimulate added interest in the ob- servance of Navy Day.” Groom Fails to Come, Philadelphia, Oct. 26.—(4)—Clasp- ing the bridal gown she was to wear Bride Shoots Come, | COGHLAN RITES it Hereclt sit the head in the bed- | Methodist Services to Be Held room of her hore. ‘4 See ei th lying je the} at Home, Catholic Rites lothing, dead. side her lay a pistol and this brief note: at Church “I have nothing to live for.
