to San Francisco, in 1915, thirty-five
rears later. Further, in October of
that year, they found that it was possi
ble to send the human voice more than
half way around the world, as was
done by wireless telephone from thb
government station at Arlington, Va.,
the words being recorded simultane
ously at Honolulu, in .the mid-Pacifie,
and at the Eiffel tower, in Paris.
; Mr. Vail was known as “the biggest
■p telephone man in the world,” not only
in tribute to his genius for both me
Cshanical and financial organization,
but from the fact that he was person
ally a man of remarkable physique.
He was 6 feet 2 inches tall, and
weighed about 280 pounds. With this
great physique he had an infinite ca
pacity for hard work, and a genial
disposition. ,
His Early Life
He was born in Carroll county, Ohio,
July 16, 1845, of Quaker ancestry. His
father, Davis Vail, removed from.
Ohio to Morristown, N. J., when the
son was four years old, and became
associated with a brother, Stephen
Vail, who had founded the Speedwell
iron works, near Morristown, where
they built much of the machinery for
the first transatlantic steamship. Al
fred Vail, another brother, was one
9 of those associated with Samuel Morse
In the invention and promotion of the
telegraph.

Wl academy at Morristown, and for a
tittie studied medicine, but becoming
interested in the telegraph, he learned
to operate the key and went West in
1868 as an operator for the Union Pa
cific railroad at Pine Bluffs, Wyo. Pine
Bluffs was at that time the principal
supply point for wood for the Union
Pacific, which had not yet been com
pleted. Through the friendship of Gen.
Grenville M. Dodge, chief engineer of
the Union Pacific, Vail, in the next
year, was appointed a \Clerk in the
railway mail service, and here his
ability to systematize and organize
was soon felt. It was just after he had
been, promoted to the general super
intendency of the railway mail serv
ice that he acted against the advice
«f his friends and accepted the posi
tion of general manager of the Ameri
* can Bell Telephone Company.
