Am now back and | i i Finds World Otherwise Is Pretty Good Place in W hich to Stay. Expects to Live to Be 100 or 110—Spending | Day at Work. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. YORK, April Looking | back today over the pictorial record of the 91 vears of Chauncey M. Depew, one sees a sea of whiskers—billows of heards. In the times agone they were black beards, bushy, bristling and plentiful. Within the recollection of the present generation, however, they have been gray beards and white beards, losing some of their plenti- tude and their aggressiveness, but beards, always beards. For Chauncey Depew had attained his threescore vears and ten when the present gen- eration began, and the beards natur- ally had begun to grow gray at that mere milestone in a most remarkable career of achievement and longevity. | Years ago Mr. Depew was inter- ested in a serio-comic debate held at the National Press Club in Washing- ton, when the subject up for considera- tion ran something like this | Beards vs. Bald Heads. i “Resolved, That a bald head may be | a detriment, but a beard is a man’s | own faull | The bald-he: side of the debate | was maintained by “Fiddling Bob Taylor of Tennessee, and by “Nick" Longworth of Ohio, the new Speaker | NEW | of the House. The bearded side of the | momentous discussion was handled by the te Senato: ‘arter of Montana | and “Uncle Joe” Cannon. | The point of the story is that the | whiskers won. It was agreed that through all history the beard had been the mark of the strong and virile man, the father .of large families, the tumbler of temples, and all that sort of thing. Depew Is Original “Beaver.” Mr. Depew, celebrating his ninety- t anniversary today, does not at. tribute his long and happy life to the beard, or rather not to the beard alone, although it has been his con- stant companion through all the vears | of his stirring manhood. He has no fault to find today with the baldheads | or the beardless, but in the days of | his youth the beard was the mark of man's estate. Safety razors were un known. And, having once acquired an extremely ornate hirsute appendage, Mr. Depew has remained constant to the idea. He has seen the beards of his companions disappear, one by one, before the march of the modern razor, but not once has he been tempted to stray\ from the bearded fold. He is the original “beaver” of the world. Mr. Depew, carrying on today at his New York Central offices just as he has been working for the past many years, was.looking forward to his one hundredth birthday anniversary with a confidence which makes it seem an easily attainable mark. Once at the centur; corner he expects to go on to 110—and beyond. Moderation His Keynote. Mr. Depew is rather delighted with the idea that he has seldom, if ever, been referred to as the “grand old man.” Grand old man doesn’t seem to it him at all, for his outlook on | ORGANIZATION ACTIVITIES. | TONIGHT. | “Seeing Things” will be the subject of an illustrated talk to be given by | Grace Holder of Australia, 8! at First Congregational There will be an organ re- cital at 7:45.

CAVE CITY, Ky., April 23.—Sand Cave has gielded its prisoner and to- day the body of Floyd Collins, taken from the bottom of the shaft, after resting there overnight, lies in a Cave City undertaking parlor. Burial will be on a hill overlooking Crystal Cave a cavern which the explorer discov: ered several years ago. A limestone and _sandstone rock, weighing between 75 and 100 pounds, which pinned Collins’ left leg as he was crawling from the depths of a newly discovered pit, was removed last night by miners employed by the victim's brother. The body was freed for the first time since last January 30, when the falling rock caught Collins and held him fast while hundreds of volunteer workers strug gled 17 days to free him. The miners, after removing the rock, brought the body through the new lateral off the 70-foot level to the shaft and left it there overnight until equipment could be arranged for hoist ing the dead explorer to the surface, Curious Watch Removal. they attached a hook ope fastened about the body and aised it by means of a hand hoist. Wrapped in cloth, the body reached the top of the shaft while several score curious visitors watched. After being placed on a stretcher, an im. provised sack was removed from the head, and W. H. Hunt, miner in charge of the recovery work, asked the spectators to walk past and view the victim. “E Ly and look at tfe body Hunt said. 1 don’t want anybody to go away and say we brought up a chunk wrapped in ra; ¢ the miners.
