New Financial Power.

new factor in the financial world is to be dealt with. By the death of Will lam c. Whitney, his eldest son, Harry Payne Whitney becomes heir not only to one half of his fathers large estate and manager of the other half but to the combinations in which that wealth is in- vested. There will always be some mys- tery concerning the value of this estate It was largely made in manipulative t.an- sections which have still to be maintained by the original promoters. That is. the time has not come when Whitney hold ings could be put on the market and con- verted into cash without depreciating the market value of the stocks Whitney. Senior, was as wise as his partners and quite able to take care of himself. Whit ney, Junior, has had the benefit of his fathers instruction but whether he will sink or swim in the company he will now find himself, is question which interest Wall street
 There is a disposition to depreciate the sons of deceased rich fathers. Doubtless history can afford these pessimlsts some precedents Nevertheless, in our own day, there are many instances of the son con- tinung the work the father laid down. For instance, William K. Vanderbilt built we'll upon the structure Commodore Vanderbilt left behind and the late Cor nelius Vanderbilt proved himself compe- tent to succeed his father. George J. Gould took up his fathers work and his success would doubtless win the applause of that great financier. Augustus Bell mont too has completed a monumental work one greater than his distinguished father ever undertook. So long as fa- thers leave such sons there is little to be said about strong men begetting a weak offspring.

H.P. WHlTNEYT0 THE FRONT
BY JOHN MARTHoL.

New York, March 5.-(Special)- )-Since the Inter- Borough Company and the Met ropolitan Traction have both entered plans to build more tunnels there will be spirited competition for the contract be- tween two groups of inanciers. Which eyer wins in the competition one thing is certain: within few years sub-surface travel will be adequate for the transporta- ton of four times the present poulation. The Inter- Borough has secured by lease the overhead system, which il will operate in connection with the subway. The Met ropolitian proposes to operate it's surface cars in connection with the subway 1t desires to build. Competition in transit Is to be desired by the general public, but one finds by experience that financiers have a way of getting together and of entering into an "agreement' or merge or securities company which takes the fruits the public hungers for out of the basket. There is only one element of safety in the general situation and that Is vested in the personality of August Bel mont controller of the Inter-Borough. At no time in his long and conspicuous career as a financier, has he been seduced from the path of straight and honest en- terprise by any get-rich-quick scheme. He has held himself aloft from all com bnatons of one kind or another, not of character to which he could honoraby lend his name. The people of this city have had confidence in the rapid and perfect construction of the subway, know ing full well that August Belmont would carry the enterprise through to a success ful issue. Sentiment is in favor of his application for the new work

The Young Rockefeller.

John D Rockefeller is gradually with drawing from public life, from business activities. He is pushing his son to the front as his successor. This young man will be the first American billionaire. From this point of view, if from no other, he is an interesting object of study Who is he? What is he? An intelligent news paper study of him sums him up this way: "The son is a mental and physical replica of his progentor. Both personify the wonderful financial machinery that is known as the worlds most colossal monopoly Precision is the keynote of the men: precision Is the terest definition of the machine that is synonymous with the name of Rockefeller in the industrial uni verse. John D. Rockefeller. Jr., tries not to waste a second of his working time. He reaches his office about o'clock. He works steadily until g. Then he goes to a restaurant in Broad street and buys his thirty-cent lunch. He says young man working on salary has no right to spend more than that on himself at luncheon He walks back to his desk and works for a couple of hours. Then he goes uptown to his handsome. but not luxurious resi- dence, No. 13 West Fifty-fourth street, al- most opposite his fathers at No. West Fifty-fourth street. He takes a walk in Central Pork or up Fifth avenue or pleasantly greets some callers whom his wife may be entertaining when he reaches home. His dinner is a plain, substantial meal of soup, meat, a few vegetables salad desert and coffee. Everything is of the best quality, but there are no out of-season luxuries

Opera Stockholders erowI.

An operatic directors life is not happy one under the best of circumstances. and MT. Grau knew what he was talking about when he sent MT. Conried his best wishes on the opening of the current sea son, and added that significant little snap per. If you make million dollars, 1 shall know that you have earned it." Mir. Conried hasn't yet earned the million. In fact, he says if he breaks even on the season he will be satisfied for he started out expecting to be s150.000 to the bad at the close of the operatic year. But he's getting 1t from all sides too. The Opera House stockholders and subscribers have done much growing. They are very pleas a great deal In the boxes and orchestra seats to each other. That is what they are stockholders and subscribers for-it Is a privilege that goes with the box or the seasons subscription And who eyer knew an opera stockholder or subscriber to forego any of his or her privileges. es- pecially the privilege of criticising the management? They don't like this and they don't like that. They growl about everything, from the lights in the boxes to the performance on the stage They don't liKe the company Mir Conried has engaged, even if they approve of indi- yiduals here and there in it, and they are forever comparing everything that is done this season with what occurred under the Grau regime, with no amiable comparisons between the past and the present conditions.
