vestigation has been made.
 "On the books of our treasurer there is not acontract but what has lapset l some time. It may be that in scmt cases this is due to MT McGill, the manager of the company, failing t( turn in money to the treasurer tha; he received in payments.
 AS to McGill's intentions, We have no means of telling. He left here without telling us where he was go ing. At first We thought that he would return, but there is no longer any hope on the part of the company that he will return and square things ] up.
 The company's affairs were trust ed almost entirely to MT. McGill, as he was the organizer of the company and those of us who took stock did it for the purpose of assisting him. Not one of us has ever received one cent in return for any of the services ren- dered or money invested.
 We realize that patrons of the com. pany may feel aggrieved, but they are not any more so than We are. We had confidence in MT. McGill, and but for his continued absence would still believe that he could be relied upon.
 At meeting of the company's di. rectors this evening We discussed this matter fully, and concluded 10 take immediate steps to look into the man ner in which MT. McGill conducted the business. We intend to do everything in our power to right any wrong that he has done.
 We can not say how soon this will be done. It will probably take some time to look into the affairs of the company and straighten out the tan gle that Mr McGill has left behind him. For over two months none of us have taken any part in the proceed. ings of the business, and we are not prepared to make definite statement at this time" The above statement in quotations "os II duhIs anu fOlunLdElly made. ana it is believed that the directors will do all in their power to straighten the entangled affairs of the company. A meeting of the directors was held last evening, having this purpose in view
 It is believed the amount collected by McGill will run into a very large sum. Among others on the Review desk are two contracts on which the owner has paid ninety dollars, and his pass books show the signature oi McGill up to and including May 5. Me Gill came here from Colorado, having spent some time in Cripple Creek. Il is known that he himself and accom- panied by solicitor, secured a large number of contracts, and not a direc tor or stockholder in the company ever saw the color of the coin collect cd by the General Manager. The company seems to have reposed the fullest confidence in him, and as the director above states, the contracts have all lapsed, so that there will be nothing coming to them.

4 SKETCH Of
HANNA s CAREER
Continued From First Page

Co. He established foundries and FORCES
and smelters Men worked for him from
Pennsylvania to the base of the Rockies
He knew the value Of days work and he
got ithe also paid for It.
Ia the early '70s the miners in Hanna
& Co.'S mines formed a union. Hanna
studied the union as he studied mines and
ores and ships. He got the hang of it and
chen he got up another union-a union
of employers Then when the men at a
mine had trouble they conferred not with
the mine operator. but with the mine
operators union. Hannas mine operators
union gave the first recognition to organ
lied labor that il ever received Ii also
developed into coal trust--but that is a
different story,
Hanna was ever hard worker He
asked none of his employees to work as
hard as he did. But he had the genius
for making his work easy His secret was
system. After he had reduced mining to
system he added shipping. then he re-
duced that to a system and took on ship
building Reducing that to its lowest
terms, where the machinery works smooth
ly, he built street railway the
cars of his coal and iron and the rails
Of his steel Here he was up against
different kind Of labor. He mastered that.
There has never been strike on his lines.
Then he took fancy to the theatrical
business. He bought the Euclid Avenue
opera house and began studying the gentle
art of making friends with the theatrical
stars. He learned the business of friend
ship thus as thoroughly as he had learned
the grocery and coal and ore and iron and
ship and railway business. Men like
Jefferson Irving. Francis Wilson, Robson.
Crane and the best of the playwrights be-
came his friends.
Then he started bank He took the
presidency Of it and deyoured the details
of that business
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-02-13

learned national politics as he had learned
coal and iron and ships. When Sherman
failed Hanna want on the advisory council
of the national committee and absorbed
facts about the relations of business and
politics.
In 1896 Hanna incorporated Mckinley
and every business firm in the United
States, from Wall street to the carpenter
shop in the alley, took stock. Hanna pro-
NOTED the candidacy Of Mckinley with
every trained faculty which had made him
a successful captain Of trade. The St.
Louis convention was a meeting of large
board of directors in business concern.
1t was an old story to Hanna-the pick
ing and handling Of men There were
5000 men on his pay roll at Cleveland,
on the docks and in the mines, on the
ships and at furnaces, at desks and on
grip cars; there were only tenth as
many delegates at st. Louis; and besides.
the convention was a cooperative corpora
ton SO Hanna didn't worry. He went
ahead and won, just as he was used to
doing

man. Two years ago she left the Lucas
home and went to live in pretty house
on the same street. She had servants, car
riages, iewelry, all the trappings of those
who move in "the world of Have" Then
Lucas opened accounts in the big stores
for Mrs. John Lucas" But his family
noticed nothing, heard nothing until his
death last August. Then Mary Comey,
now Mrs. John Lucas, asserted her rights.
There were no scandals or suits. Her
attorney presented her claim to the other
heirs. These investigated. They found a
marriage record. They found that Lucas
had Travelled with her as his wife, had
registered at hotels with her, had intro
duced her as Mrs. Lucas.
The heirs did the wise thing. They
conceded Mrs. Lucas claim and allowed
her widows dover, one-third of an
estate valued at about $l2,0O0,00O.
So simple Mary Comey, Irish slavey,
is now one of the wealthiest women in
Philadelphia.
