ECLIPSE OF MORGAN
RoCKEFELLER SAID TO TO BE WORLDS GREATEST
 FINANCIER.
Sudden Change in RAnk-walter Wellman Explains the New Classification Accepted by Wall Street.
New York special to Chicago Recor1

 John D. Rockefeller is the worlds greatest financier. J. Pierpont Morgan it's greatest speculator and promoter"
 This Is judgment have heard from the lips of a good many men of affairs In the financial district. In fact, 1t has become common saying in Wall street and in the clubs and other places where Wall street men congregate.
 Perhaps nothing could better illustrate in single sentence the changes which have been taking place in the financial work during the last year. The great slump in values. the bursting of the wa- tered stock and fictitious value boom has gradually but surely wrought transfor- nation in the relations of individuals to properties and the sources of power. and this transformation has as It's most i'm portant and probably its most interesting result the classification of Rockefeller and Morgan which Is now upon the tip of the tongue in Wall street. and which Is made the opening sentence of this dis patch
 John D. Rockefeller is now looked upon by almost every one as the king of Amer lean finance and railroading. MT. Morgan is in a second. but still a very high place. During the last year the two men have virtually exchanged positions. Of course it would be trite to say that for a long time both have been in the very front rank-without doubt the two most power full men In the country. The change ap- pears here: Whereas Mir. Rockefeller was formerly comparatively inactive, content to remain the background, tremendous force in his control of great capital and big banks. but not personally very active in the management of railroad properties and dictation of policies, he is now en- larging and broadening his activities. On the other hand. Mr. Morgan, for several years marvel of activity-his finger in almost every big pie-his master hand be- hind nearly all the great combinations and reoFganizations--is now comparative ly inactive, we'll nigh idle. taking care of what he has rather than reaching out for more worlds to conquer.
 There is no longer any doubt that if Mir. Rockefeller is not already virtually in control of the New York Central Rail- way. he soon will be. Men who possess the very best sources of information tell me 1t will not take more than a year or so for the occultation of the Vanderbilt family and the perihelon of the Rocke- fellers in New York Central to become visible to the naked eye of all beholders. This does not mean. of course, that Rockefeller is to own a majority of the stock of that company. for the Wander bilts have not owned a ma jority for many years. But 1t does mean, unless my in- formants are mistaken. that the Rocke- fellers are to take the places of the Van derbilts as the dominant personal factors in the control of that great property. In

I want e job. Whatever you give me to do I'll do as we'll as ! can" About year ago. ex-secretary of the Navy William C. Whitney announced that he would retire from buainess and intrust his interests to his son: Harry Payne Whitney. Within a month the young man returned to New York. having travelled over the western mining coun- | try on several big deals In which his father was interested. He pleased the financiers with whom he travelled by his attention to deail and his grasp of sitsia- ton.
 Pierpont Morgan, Jr., the son of J. iPerpont Morgan, Is one of the many young New Workers who are developing into able men of finance under the tute- lage of their fathers. After a thorough college education he entered his fathers banking house, taking d minor position. He soon was placed in touch with more important work and satisfied his father of his fitness for large responsibilities In 1897. at the age of 25. he was made junior partner in the London firm of J. P. Nor gan 6 Go.
 Hetty Green Coaches Son.
 Mrs. Hetty Greens the richest woman in the world, has taken an active part in the teaining of her son.. Edward H. R. Green, for a business career involving the care of her vast fortune.
 Though but 34 years old, Mfr. Green is a successful ma@ Ha has made Texas his home and is the most prominent railway man in the State as well as power in politics.
 Tn his boyhood he was a warm hearted fellow, and 1t was one of his mothers first cares that he should learn the value of a dollar and know what it was to earn his own living.
 Finally Mrs. Green put him in charge of a couple of little railroads in Texas. He at once consolidated the two roads, had himself elected president and had soon greatly increased their efficiency and profits.
 Mrs. Green was delighted. Edward had proved himself. Further responslbIlities came, and soon he was one of the lead ing men of the State, president of the Texas Midland. and wealthy on his own account. t~T

RICH MEMS SONS ARE
 HARD WORKERS.
Leisure Class" Has Little Chance to
 Develop in This Country.

Leisure Class" Has Little Chance to Develop in This Country.
 Chicago Tribune.
 As nearly as can be observed. the pros | poets of America having a Leisure class are vague and unpromlsing. Millionaires' sons who might develop and from this class are almost unanimous in giving their energy to work. When the head of the family does not bring this about by his own commands the young men voluntarily choose work in preference to likeness.
 With this condition existing, it is proba- ble that the leisure class" will not be a prominent feature of American sOical life. As nearly as can be judged, the young men seem to feel that as men of leisure they can be nothing more than the sons of their fathers. As men of business they have a chance to earn a reputation as great as that which they have in- herited
 This distaste of the American for any other life than that of work and endeavor is what influences many of the young men to prefer their fathers offices to course of unbroken leisure. It Is an exception to find a rich young man without an occupation.
 The public has come to regard their ef- forts as sincere and well meant endeavors. There are no sneers for the millionaIre's son who goes to work as a clerk in his fathers establishment. It has become l recognized that he Is doing a clerks work and doing it as we'll as he can. Only recently Walter Hill. the youngest son of J. J. Hill. neglected the duties of his S week elerkship in the Great Northern offices at St. Paul and was suspended | by his superior The official who took | this course had the indorsement of MT ! Hill, who declared that his sons were to work and to work like any other young men might have to. His two elder sons have risen by hard work from clerkships | to positions of trust. Walter Hill is l9 years old. Recently he objected to con- tinuing his college course.
 "AH right" said his father Then you | go to work" To work he went until he lapsed in his duties and was suspended

Illustrating the Lights and Shades Some Fearful Are Cheerful That is the Way 1t n Li and This is Real Life
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
 Not all stories are so sorrowful as that of Miss Mayme MacLaren of lndianap- olis Here in Chicago q year ago she met Harold Baker, young English man on a visit to this country. He was won by her and proposed marriage. She refused him at first ant he left for Eng land.
 Not discouraged he persisted in his proposals. making them by letter, and the young woman reconsfdered. It was agreed that he should come to America again and that they snould be married
 The young woman was preparing her wedding garments. when ner mother was taken i'll and died. The young man came across to find his fianeee heartbroken over her mothers death. She was so ab- sorbed by her grief that sine did not mo- tice her lovers peculiar actions. It was discovered that his manG was becoming deranged.
 His father was sent for and arrived in time to take the son, now unbalanced mentally. back to Engiand.
 For three months Rose Bennett, r years, was wife without the knowledge of her parents. with wnom she lived at 332 Ever green avenue, Brooklyn. She was welded to Edward E. Richards. 9 years old, on March 23, in the Church of St. JoI.n the Baptist. Lewis and Wil- loughby avenues.
 Mrs. Peter G. Bennett. mother of the bride, did not know of the romance in the family until last week, when Rose drop ped her wedding ring. Esrs. Bennett saw the ring and picked it up and examined it. She suspected the daughter was a wife Rose told her mother she loved Eddie dearly" ana he would 'go through fire for her." and Mrs Bennett forgave the girl, as ali good mothers do. and when MT. Bennett came home she broke the news to him. Mir. and Mrs. Richards, are now living with the old folks.
 Mrs. Bennett would not permit the bride to talk about the wedding, but said for her: They are two foolish young per sons. They got marr:ed on the quiet. and we knew nothing about 1t until few days ago. Rose fs young and he is a mere boy. have a lot of sewing to do for her. You know girls need a lot of sewing for anything like this, and I believe in having it done at home. They will go to housekeeping soon, and l must get the sewing done TO you will excuse me.

Half a welding Ring.

wedding rings are not always plain gold clrclets. During the last few years a lares number of couples have adopted ring made in two parts. When worn it looks like an or dinary gold ring. with an almost imperceptihIa join. The idea. which originated h Germany, was that, in the event of tho wife becoming q widow, one part of the ring would be taken on and the remaining narrow band of gala would be a constant reminder of her Ioas.
 The Germans used to mako the manner fn which the ring was worn a signincance. Thnas if q young man wished to marry. he woFe q ring on the first finger of his left hand; f. engaged, he put 1t on the second finger; if mar ried on his third: if he preferred to remain single. he wore tt on his little finger.

tranScontinental raiiWay ueiu, the toutu- Rockefeller system. with it's ambitions and it's power to buy peace and openings through the agency of t-se millions of the richest man in the world. The slump of prices in Wall street has been Mir. Rockefeller's opportunity, and. though buying on a large scale, like selling. is easily covered up when 1t is to the in- terest of the operators to do so, we'll informed men estimate that at least hundred millions of money from the cof- fers of the Rockefeller contingent--banks and individuals-havs been put into standard stocks at what looked like cheap figures.
 Already men are asking who can rival John D. Rockefeller as a money and railway king. when his present plans are brought to completion. If Mir. Rocke- feller becomes the dominant personal force in New York Central and the allied roads. if he Is behind and with George Gould in Wabash and Missouri Pacific and the transcuntinental project. if he acquires a voice in the policies. if not in the actual management. of Penn sylvania and Baltimore and Ohio and their allies. 1t is apparent that the statue of Mir. Rockefeller. if made historically accurate, will have to be cast as Co., lossus of Roads. He soon will be. if he is not already. the most powerful man fin American railways, and finance. He will be greater than any Vanderbilt ever was, or Jay Gould or Morgan. or any of the men of the golden area of American industrialism. If the men who afford these estimates of Mir. Rockefeller's plans and operations are not mistaken. it is safe to say that within five years he will be without rival, that his pow CT will be so great as to become politi- cal issue in the United States. and that the history of the world may be search ed in vain for another example of such vast power held through the sheer force of wealth invested in public utilities.
 Among the foremost men of New York the rising of Rockefeller as A personal force in the railway world is hailed with delight. Whatever may be said by the theorists and critics about the desira- bility of having such vast power con- centrated in one man. in New York they are content to see MT. Rockefeller 'get behind" as many railway properties as he may wish. They are content because they say he is conservative. He will be the great mentor, or moderator. who preserves peace and order. He will be strong enough to prevent great booms and great slumps. He will keep things on a more even keel. fse will discourage watering and wiid-catting, as he has al- ready drowned upon the methods of which Mir. Morgan stands as the most conspicuous representative. The boom. which Mir. Morgan did not make but of which he took advantage, inevitably brought on the slump which was Mir Rockefeller's opportunity. And men are saying all's we'll thav cnds well. The introduction of this new force in Ameri- can railway financierinR speaks for so- lidity and stability; 1t is for the profess sors and the essayists to study the rela- tions of the richest man in the world to the richest people in his new role as trustee for society in the control of great public utilities.

STRIKERS LEAVE
CHICAGO HOTELS
Leading Hoste|ries of City Are
Badly Crippled By Walk
out of Employees.
LONG FIGHT IS LOOKED FOR
Walters Reject All Offers of Arbitra-
ton, Declaring that Their Scale of
Wages, as Presented, Must First
Be Granted.

Chicago, June 13,-The strike in the
hotels of Chicago, impending for the
last three weeks, materialized yester-
day, and twenty-five of the leading
hotels of Chicago are tonight badly
crippled in all departments. All of
the hotels are running, however, and
proprietors declare that the estab-
ishments will remain open for bust
ness at any cost.
The complete list of hotels in which
the employees have left, follows

The strike promises to be a hard
fought one. The hotel proprietors de-
clare that the demands made by the
men are unreasonable, and the union
claims to have not been fairly treated
by the proprietors, in that the latter
have refused to treat as individuals
With the unions.
The proprietors have agreed to
submit nearly every point at issue to
arbitration, but this the unions will
not consent to- They insist that their
demands for higher wages and shorter
hours be granted before they will ar
pirate anything and insist also upon
the absolute recognition of the union.
To this latter demand the proprie-
tors say they will never agree so long
as the strikers maintain their present
attitude. The unions demand abso-
lutely that the members of the Hotel
Keepers association come to the
offices of the unions as individuals
and not as members of any associa-
ton.
The employees have hopes of bring
ing to their aid the members of the
teamsters' and engineers unions in
order to keep supplies out of the ho-
tells, but the officers of both these
Unions say they will take no hand in
the matter, as the cooks and walters
Unions have placed themselves in the
wrong by refusing arbitration.
