tion of the two memorial associations in the
collection of funds and that the total thus
collected shall be divided, one-third TO go
to the construction of tomb at Canton
and two-thirds to the construction OF an
arch at Washington.
Later in the afternoon. and after tull

not TO accept ii, and adopted the follow

subscription should be left 10 IL for raising
the sum necessary to provide suitable
memorial to the late President at Canton

1t was insisted by Judge Day. Senator
scriptions should be applied TO the erec-
tion of a memorial at Canton where
the late President lived for many years
and where he lies buried, and where Mrs.
Mckinley will eventually rest beside him.
While il was hoped that Congress would
take the matter in hand and erect in the
national capital some fitting memorial TO
the martyred President. the opinion was
general that the people of the Nation would
prefer that their contributions should be
used TO suitably mark his tomb In Can
ton.
The resolution will be presented to the
Memorial Arch Association at a meeting TO
be held next Monday afternoon.

the task of making a special investigation
of American trusts, told a representative of
the Associated Press to-day that he will
also make some inquiries in aid of the gov
ernment's plan of organizing an Industrial
college. He is a strong supporter of the
project and OF the fostering of closer COM
mercial relations between the two coun-
tries. NJ WELLER considered Pittsburg the
best center for the establishment of such
an institution, and he intends to make an
investigation there, but Chicago and Phil
adelphia are still being considered The
government has examined the suggestion
to send commercial students also but is in
disposed TO adopt this step until the indus
trial experiment shall have been tried.
NJ. Weiliers inquiry in the matter of the
trusts will occupy about four months dur
ing which time he will visit all the indus
trial centers OF the United States At the
head of electrical business, he already
has relations with leading American met

anxious to have a competent opinion upon
the effects of the formation of big trusts

matter Is of peculiar interest to France,
which is the only En- oean country en-

Millions Awaiting Them.

1t is not very often that persons who
have passed the allotted age Of three
score and ten" come suddenly into the
inheritance of a princely fortune. Mil
lions of dollars, however, are Just now,
by an unexpected turn Of fate, waiting
to be claimed by two ladies over 20,
and their two brothers few years
younger. The entire fortune is S26,-
100000, and the heirs are not many
in number. The four sought are chill
dren of John William Relnhart. who
was born at Hardort, near the Rhine,
in Germany, in the year 1900. Anna
Katherine, the oldest was born in lS22,
Maria Gertrude in 1926, and the broth
ers, George William and John William,
along in the sos.
The romantic story OF the making
of this great fortune has been COM
municated to Rev. A. W. Reinhart by
an American lawyer named Karmann,
who went to Germany TO study the
case, and who assures Mr.. Reinhart
that there is no doubt Of the genuine
ness of the title to the estate, and that
it is worth $26,OOO,0OO. Philip Rein
hart was the name Of the great money
maker, and the fortune was made IN
the dreamy land of India, with rare
silks and with spices and gems and
camel's s-hair shawls. Philip Reinhart
emigrated from Germany to the Uni
ted States about l848, and later went
TO India. 1t seems that he died lntes-
tate and that an heir, Philip Reinhart-
Of Cologne, Germany obtained knowl-
edge of the great estate. 1t is through
him and the lawyers that the other four
heirs named received their intorma-
ton. Three of the direct heirs have
been found living near st. Paul. In
this particular the fates have woven
the bright story Of the story book, for
the heirs are a widow and her chill
dren. Mr.. Philip Reinhart, Jr., has
asked any one who may know Of any
other relatives to write to him at 10
Rosen street, Cologne.
1t was suggested to Rev. Mr.. Rein
hart that this fair wind Of fortune
might mean life of ease and luxury
for him, too, but he did not favor the
idea. He and his wife are gentle,
happy people. whose chief aim for
years has been to relieve suffering and
to comfort the friendless. They work
especially in the Bethesda homes oi
which Mr.. Reinhart is chaplain, and
many an aged woman, a misguided
girl or a child afflicted with some In.
durable disease has thanked them with
tears for brighter hours that they have
brought. And when the minister was
asked if he did not want share Of
the fortune, he only smiled and said,
"No, ! am sure the Lord thinks too
much of me to but my feet in any such
a slippery place as that"
The Reinhsrt family referred to is
the one of which the Jefferson county
Reinharts are connected. A million
or two may come this way

Cumulative Economy.

An old bookkeeper says, in the
Youths Companion, that it is supris-
ing to see how many valuable things
a man can buy if he simply economies
in little things.
Il once made up my mind would
become the possessor Of gold watch.
l saved up the money for it in this
way. When | felt like eating a So
cent luncheon, as | often did, I ate a
25.cent one instead, and put the other
quarter aside for my watch fund.
You will hardly believe it, but in less
than six months l had saved money
enough to purchase the watch"
"But you don t seem to have bought
it, said his friends, observing that
there were no outward signs Of such a
purchase.
"Well, no. When l found how
easily l could get along without So
cent lunches, concluded l could get
along without the gold watch. and the
watch fund is growing into house-and-
lot fund now"
