"System" Made Him
Head of a
$454,000,000 System
^%AMUEL REA, who on New
Year’s day succeeds James Me-
Crea as president of the Penn-
ey lrania railroad. Is fifty-seven
years old and a prodigious worker.
pits gray hair and closely cropped
mnustache, accepted business dress and
iMrfslc manner mark h|m easily as a
man of purpose. He Is known as a
business progressive and. Is a great
lover of borne.
Forty-four years of practical work
qualify Mr. Rea for the headship of
the $454,000,000 corporation, the ex-
acting nature of the duties of which
axe testified to by Mr. Mc-Crea. who
resigned because of a breakdown in*
health.
Mr. Rea is the incarnation of system.
Thoroughness marked his efforts even
as a youth.
Oddly enough, for a man of impor-
tance, this new railway president has
no hobby. His strongest penchant is
for motoring. Aside from the long
spins which he so enjoys when sitting
in the back seat of his machine, the
man who has just been elected James
McCrea’s successor passes his spare
time most pleasantly in reading.
He is ^catholic in his tastes. The
best of the deeper classics and the
worth while of the lighter publica-
tions are Included in his library.
If one passes Samuel Rea on the
street or anywhere and is unaware of
his identity one knows him intuitively
for a man apart from the general run
of men. Not his carriage or his dress

something about the "whole appear-

Diplomat’s Honeymoon
Dream Has
;■ Now Gome to Pass
T
HERE are few corners of the
earth that Larz Anderson,
the newly appointed ambassa-
dor to Japan, has not visited,
but Japan bolds a place In his ap-
preciation, colored by tender senti-
ment. It was one of the most charm-"
Ing spots in his honeymoon trip with
the beautiful and talented daughter of
Commander George Hamilton Perkins.
She is a writer of charming fairy
stories and this turn in the diplomatic
fortunes of her husband which sends
them back to the land of the cherry
blossom, she declares, has in it all of.
the charm of a wonder tale. So strong-
ly were they held by tbe spell of the
mikado's land that they visited it twice
before returning to America.
It is told that both said It would be
the realization of one of their dearest
dreams should he ever be appointed
to a position in Japan. And now the
honeymoon dream has come true.
It is expected that when Mr. Ander-
son quits his post of minister to Bel-
gium he will start direct for the east.
Traveler, soldier, art lover and ama-
teur doctor, he is one of the most
striking figures in the foreign service
of Uncle Sam. In recognition of his
services while at Rome the king in-
vested him with the orders of the
Crown of Italy and of SS. Maurice and
Lazare. Both Mr. and Mrs. Anderson
have wealth to enable them to enter-
tain royally. She inherited several
millions, and her $500,000 diamond-em-
erald-pearl gown worn at a drawing
room reception of Queen Alexandra
furnished a dazzling subject for Eu-
ropean gossip.
Before his marriage In 1897 Mr. An-
derson had visited Java and Burma.

LAKZ ANDERSON.
He crossed India into Egypt and went
from Egypt to Turkey. From tbe coun-
try of mosques he went up the Danube
into the Balkans. Thence he toured
gcandinavin and Russia, the trip last-
ing two yer.rs, . •>- - -
He traveled even more extensively
after Lis marriage since his wife was
no less enthusiastic a tourifst than he.
Their wedding trip took them to Yel-
lowstone park and then to the Sand-
wich Islands. Honolulu was then apart
from the world—a real novelty, for it
had no cable connection. From Hono-
lulu Mr. Anderson took his bride to Ja-
pan. where they stayed long enough to
become acquainted with the principal
cities and muny of tbe fascinating lit(
tie villages of which one seldom hears.

Indefatigable travelers went und toured
China, visiting especially Hongkong
and Canton.
But the spell of Japan still held them.

the land of poetry and flowers once
more. They regretfully left it.
Scarcely had they settled for the win-
ter in their new house at Washington
when the Spunish war broke out Mr.
Anderson volunteered. It seemed as if

the third division of the Second army
corps, to which he was assigned with a
commission us assistant adjutant gen-
eral with the rank of captain, was
waiting orders to go to the front. But
It went only as far ns Camp Alger.
Here Captain Anderson served as act-

of Porto Rico.
