WILLIAM |. ELKINS DEAD.
Noted Financier's Career Ends az
a Result of Blood
Poisoning.

New York, Nov. civilian l.. Ell
kins, master of millions and one of the
noted, picturesque duo of financial
giants who made the coupled names of
Widener-Elkins famous for great en-
.erprises in both Americas, in Europe
and even in Africa and the far east, died
Saturday night at his suburban mansion,
at Ashbourne, near Philadelphia. He
was II years old. Mr.. Elkins was
brought to his bed Monday because a
tight boot that he had worn had SO irri-
tated his foot that blood poisoning was
threatened. Blood poison developed in
his limbs. BY his side at the end, with
tears expressing the depth and genuine
ness OF his grief, sat his rugged lifelong
partner and friend, P. A. B. Widener.
William L. Elkins was a prominent
figure in Industrial, commercial, fnan-
cial and railroad movements throughout
the union. He was born May 2, 1882.
Young Elkins was educated in the public
schools, and when Is became clerk in
a counting room. Iii 1852 he joined
Peter Saybolt in the produce and ship
ping business, and began to deal in ag-
ricultural products. Mr.. Elkins turned
his attention to the oil industry, and
in 1872 was one Of the organizers of the
Standard Oil company. Mr.. Elkins was
specially conspicuous in the develop
ment of street railroad systems, and
brought about the organization of the
Philadelphia Traction company. He
was director in the Metropolitan Trac-
ton company of New York, the West
Side and North Side companies of Chi
cago, the Baltimore Traction company,
and the Pittsburg Traction compa ".
He was an officer and stockE older in va
rious other big corporations.

May Disband the Tribe.

The latest development in the Stock
bridge Indian muddle is a movement,
urged by the Miller faction. for the
disbanding of the tribe. This plan
probably will be substituted for that
originally adopted, by which Miller
sought to GUST 800 Indians whom he
declares are not blood descendants of
the original tribe members, and, there
fore, are not entitled to participate in
government awards. The entire mat

THE HORSE RACES,

 irons were the principal attractions at his beautiful driving park yesterday afternoon. The track, which is one of the best in New England, was in fine
 condition-firm, but not hard enough to ] sore the race horses several of which
 have started in two races at Branford this week. A look at the grandstand was convincing proof that ladies are fond of trotting sport, as many of the fair sex were present in stylish hats and attractive dresses. .,

 was won by Convoy, with second money
