Digitized by Microsoft® WHO'S WHO IN PENNSYLVANIA A BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY OF CONTEMPORARIES EDITED BY JOHN W. LEONARD SECOND EDITION 1908 L. R. HAMERSLY & COMPANY ;ONE WEST THIRTY-FOURTH STREET NEW lORK t\ Digitized b^Wcrosoft® K ->. A oho Copyright, 1908, by L. R. Hamersly & Company New York Digitized by Microsoft® PREFACE. Who's Who in Pennsylvania is presented in a Second Edition, after an interval of four years since the publication of the First, with a view to make it a more complete and up-to-date presentation of personal sta- tistics of those citizens of the Commonwealth whose lives and careers are of the greatest interest, and who are taking the most active and influential part in the progress and development of the State. The former edition met with wide and generous recognition, and the present one, endeavoring to present not only such new names of importance as have achieved distinction in the interim, but also to give more perfect accounts of those whose life-sketches have been retained from the First Edition, is believed to be a marked improvement over its predecessor, the original volume. The utility of what are known as Who's Who books, of which the Lon- don Who's Who, now in its sixtieth year of successful annual publication, may be regarded as the progenitor, is now everywhere recognized, the Ger- mans and French having entered the field for their respective countries. The application of the idea to the representation of the notables of a single State began with the publication of " Who's Who in New York City and State," by L. E. Hamersly & Co. (of which the Fourth Edition is now in preparation), followed by the issue from the same publishing house of " Who's Who in Pennsylvania." The present edition is virtually a new book, such matter as has been retained from the former issue having been in almost every ease rewritten, amplified or condensed as seemed to be most appropriate to the purpose of the publication, which is to furnish a complete, accurate and reliable biographical dictionary of contemporary Pennsylvanians. The greatest care has been taken to make authentic the records con- tained in this volume. The data, in almost every instance, have been se- cured from first hands, and the sketches, when completed, have been submitted in each case to the subject for verification or amendment. A very large proportion of the faxjts presented in this publication have never Digitized by Microsoft® PREFACE. appeared before, and of the remaining information little is readily accessi- ble from any other source. " Who's Who in Pennsylvania " is a reference book of current biography of those citizens of the State who are now at the front of its activities, and whose achievements are matters of current interest. The statesmen and jurists, capitalists, railway officials, leaders in commerce and manu- factures, lawyers, physicians, the higher clergy, the leaders in the colleges and universities of the State, journalists, scientists, artists, authors, en- gineers and others who represent the public, industrial, intellectual and social interests of Pennsylvania are represented, in due proportion, in this volume. As a reference book the publication will be found of con- stant use to those interested in the Commonwealth and its citizens, whether resident in the State or elsewhere, and will form a valued addition to the list of most frequently consulted authorities in libraries, public or private. With a view to further improvement and expansion in future editions, the readers of this volume will confer a favor upon L. R. Hamersly & Co. by the suggestion of the names of people who should be included in the book, but who have for any reason been omitted or inadvertently over- looked.

HARBISON, Charles Cnstls: Provost of the University of Pennsyl- vania ; born in Philadelphia, May 3, 1844; son of George Leib Harrison and Sarah Ann (Waples) Harrison, and a descendant of Thomas Harrison, of Car- lisle, England, who visited America before the Revolution and there espoused the cause of the Colonies at the cost of the sacrifice of his English estate. A son of Thomas established the first chem- ical manufactory in America and this was carried on by his descendants, uncles of Charles Custis Harrison, under the firm name of Harrison Brothers. On his mother's side he is descended from the famous Custis family, of Virginia, whose name he bears. He was educated in the Episcopal Academy, and was grad- uated from the University of Pennsyl- vania, as A. B. and Greek salutatorian, and was awarded the Henry Reed Prize at graduation in 1802 and elected to the Phi Beta Kappa Society. He mar- ried on Feb. 23, 1870, Ellen Nixon Wain, and their family consists of three sons and three daughters. Mr. Harrison had intended to make the law his pro- fession, but during his absence on a visit to the army in 1802, with the pur- pose of joining its ranks, the late John Welsh proposed to his father to establish their two sous, with Walter S. Newhall, in the sugar-refining business, under the firm name of Harrison, Newhall & Welsh. Young, Harrison, then only nine- teen, on his return home, found his warlike aspirations checked, and entered actively into the business formed for him, which quickly showed signs of pros- perity. His brothers and brother-in-law subsequently entered the firm, which be- came known as Harrison, Frazier & Com- pany, and later as the Franklin St]gar Refining Company. In 1892, when the refinery was sold, it was doing the largest business in value of products of any manufactory in Pennsylvania. Mr. Har- rison attended to its mercantile interests, and in doing so traveled widely through the United States and Mexico. Aside from his business relations he was an active member of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, and took great interest in the Episcopal Hospital, and in the Society Digitized by Microsoft® WHO'S WHO IN PENNSYLVANIA. 341 for the Protection of Children from Cruelty, of which he is the president.

In 1894 on the res- ignation of the highly eSicient Provost Pepper, Mr. Harrison was requested to accept this office. He declined, but was finally induced to accept it for a brief interval and after a year's experience consented in June, 1895, to be installed as provost. A few days previously he had established, in honor of his father, The George L. Harrison Foundation for the Encouragement of Liberal Studies and the Advancement of Knowledge, en- dowing it with $500,000. Its purpose was to establish scholarships and fellow- ships for men of exceptional ability, increase the library, and aid professors to devote themselves to special work. The new provost sought diligently to add to the resources and develop the capabilities of the university, a striking result of his labors being the building of the dormitories, at a cost of 3700,000, and of Houston Hall, as a college club house of $1()0,000; this money being obtained in the form of gifts from lib- eral patrons of the institution. This is hut a portion of the funds raised during the administration of Provost Harrison, these having amounted to over 38,000,- 000, which have been applied greatly to the advantage and development of the university.

He had the good fortune, on the death of Mr. Judson, to be chosen to succeed him as counsel for the Pennsylvania Com- pany for Insurance on Lives and Grant- ing Annuities, a corporation having business connections in every part of the United States. With this important financial company Mr. Johnson remains connected, and he has conducted its legal business in the greater number of the States, this fact aiding to spread his reputation widely and give him the standing, in the opinion of many, of being the most eminent lawyer in this country. Among the numerous great eases in which he has been prominently concerned is that of the Northern Secur- ities Company, one of the great events in the recent legal history of the United States. He might have attained to the highest honors, such as that of attorney- general of the United States, or justice of the United States Supreme Court, tenders of both those high ofBces being made him, but he has steadily declined, and the only office he has held is the minor one of a commissioner of Fair- mount Park. Mr. Johnson's one recrea- tion is that of enjoyment of art and the study and purchase of noted pictures, of which he has gradually acquired a large and highly valuable collection, which fills his house till there is hardly a square inch of wall space not covered by some notable canvas, while valuable pictures stand about the floor, resting upon chairs and tables, behind sofas, etc. His fine taste and high judgment in this direction have become so widely known that his reputation as a judge in art is only second to that of his skill in law, and other collectors have eagerly availed themselves of his aid in adding gems_ to their galleries. This has been especially the case with the fine collec- tion of P. A. B. Widener, which was chosen under his assistance and advice. The city of Philadelphia has availed itself of his judgment in the selection of pictures for the well-chosen Wilstach gallery in Memorial Hall, Fairmount Park, and his own splendid collection will very probably be donated to that city for public display, whenever the proposed tireproof municipal art building is erected.

Digitized by Microsoft® NOW READY THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT We have just published a work entitled " The American Government," edited by H. C. Gauss, Esq. Mr. Gauss is a trained journalist at present occupying the responsible position of Private Secretary to Attorney General Bonaparte. This book not only gives a list of all offices of sufficient importance to be filled by Presidential appointment and subject to confirmation by the Senate, but a com- plete statement of the powers and duties pertaining to each office and the salary attached thereto. How many Americans are there who could tell precisely what the powers and responsibilities of the United States District Attorney or the Collector of the Port are, and the extent of power vested in the hands of Bank Examiners and the Comptroller of the Currency, and to what work of reference could they turn for full information upon these subjects? This book contains information upon points of law, procedure and custom not known to many of even the best informed citizens. Not many know that the terms of the Postmaster General and the Comptroller of the Currency extend a month beyond the term of the President who appointed them, and that the Postmaster General, unlike other Cabinet officers, can be removed by the President only with the consent of the Senate. Few know that United States Senators and Representa- tives have a right to select, subject to the passing of examinations, cadets in the Naval Academy, but have no such right with reference to the Military Academy, for which their selections are merely advisory, the President having the sole power of appointment. These and many hundreds of other facts as little familiar are brought out in this useful volume. What American traveling abroad or contemplating going abroad but would gladly know the duties and powers of the American Ambassador and Minister, the Consul General and the American Consul; what their duties are not only to the Government they represent, but to American citizens who visit the countries to which they are accredited as well. Not long since a famous New Yorker lost a suit in the United States Circuit Court, involving more than $100,000. He desired to appeal it to the Supreme Court of the United States, but was astounded at being told by his lawyers that they were not sure that he could appeal it, and to his astonishment the Supreme Court refused to hear the case. Now this book tells just what cases can be heard in United States Courts and the jurisdiction of each court; and also covers all points likely to come up about the Government and its officials in all their relations at home and abroad. The book makes a volume of nine hundred pages, bound in half morocco, and the price is $5. It is a book of reference for American citizens and for foreigners who desire full and authentic information as to the organization of the United States Goyernment. li. R.
