said he. you haven't gone at it
properly. You must get one man with
plenty of money and good big name
to give a solid, respectable sum. After
that, other men with money will tum-
BILE over one another to come in"
But how can 1 do it?' asked Had
ley anXiously.
Leave it to me-" said the friend,
and Hadley did so gladly.
The next day the friend CHANGED to
meet Frederick w. Vanderbilt. To
him the situation was explained with
the statement that President Hddiey
would be Giad to have him head the
subscription. Mr.. Vanderbilt said he
would be honored and promptly wrote
it was plain sailing.
This story has sequel Frederick
w. Vanderbilt had been a student at
the Yale-Sheffield Scientific School
One day when at New Haven the diff
ference between the Sheffield and
academic students was particularly
borne in upon him.
Thinking the situation over careful
ly, he arrived at the conclusion that
the trouble was due, at least PARTIAL
ly, to the fact that the Sheffield stu
dents had no dormitory and so were
obliged to live where they could-at
boarding houses or lodging houses,
taking their meals at restaurants or
table board places. So he went to
the Yale authorities and proposed a
dormitoly for Sheffield students. They
agreed as to it's desirability, but WON
dered where they could find the
money.
Vanderbilt then told them to en-
gage the services of the best architects
and have the plans drawn. When
these were satisfactory to the uni
versity tie dormitory was to be built
and the bills sent to him. But, he
stipulated, as he did when he gave the
100000, that his name was not to be
known; the dormitory was to
be considered from an unknown
donor"

flushed Mr.. Vanderbilt's expenditures

in that section have been large hold

years, but they are taking fright at the

fact that in early days of New York

speculation in specia1ties.

Speculation is extending to the spe-
cialties and to commodities. The "cats
and dogs" in the stock list are expert
encing wild gyrations, and good
many operators are becoming timid
and going into other things. A great
deal of money has been made in the
Wall street district lately on the break
in cotton, the talent" having general
ly arrayed itself on the bear side. 9th
err stock players have closed out and
gone into grain, taking the bull side
of both wheat and corn.

Control of New York City Railway
Lines.

Control of New York City Railway
Lines.
The maturing plans for concentration
of the passenger traffic of Manhattan
and the Bronx looks to the Judgment
of control of the elevated, subway
and surface lines with the Metropoli-
tan Securities Company as the, hold
ing corporation. The remaining so per
cent. of the capital stock of the Met
ropolitan Securities Company will be
paid into the treasury of the COM
pany which will then formally take
over the Interborough, which now owns
control of the elevated and subway
lines. The share capital of the Met
ropolitan Securities Company will be
increased and eventually that will be
the only traction security traded in
on the Exchange, excepting, of course,
Brooklyn Rapid Transit, which may
remain independent.
The deal will strengthen the per
cent. guarantee on Metropolitan Street
Railway stock, which is likely to adj
vance to the neighborhood of $50, if
not to a parity with Manhattan, al
though it is now VIGOROUSLY not earn
ing the per cent. dividend guaran-
tee. The combination, however. will
be in control of the whole nickle-in-
| the-slot transportation game of Man
haitian and the Bronx and through it's
various lines will do all the passenger
business and reap every benefit from
the extraordinary growth in popula-
ton in the years to come. 1t is a
magnificent scheme and in the very
nature of things must. eventually pay
enormous profits on the huge capital
| represented. August Belmont and
! Thomas f. Ryan will be the control
ing spirits of the combination.
1t has taken years to bring about
| this stupendous consolidation, and al
though the end has been in sight many
| times, something has always cropped
up to block it. This time, however,
the deal seems to be practically COM
pleted along the plan above outlined.
Wall street and the newspapers have
been kept guessing as to the real in
side of the plans and il may be some
little time before official announcement
is made.

VANDERBILT GENEROSITY

Frederick WIS Gifts to 1t Foot Up
S1,OeO,0OO.

New York, Dec. 10.-Here's Van
derbilt story, but the hero Of it is
neither Cornelius ILL.,, who married
Grace Wilson and lost the headship of
his family; Alfred Gwynne, who in
consequence has the headship, nomi-
nally at least; nor Reginald Claypool,
who lives in Newport because he
doesn't want to come to New York
and be questioned about his gambling
experiences. The hero of this story
is Frederick w. Vanderbilt, uncle of
all these young men. and President
Hadley of Yale is mixed up In it.
1t appears that, soon after Hadley
was made president of the big New
Haven university, half a million dol
lars was wanted to put up some new
buildings. Hadley started out to get
the money, but he wasn't very success
full. Finally, in despair, he went to a
friend and told him the scheme was a
failure; that Yale would have to give
up the proposed additions to her
buildings.
The friend looked at the subscrip-

The Biographical Sketch Graft.
The financial district has been again
Invaded by a horde of biographical
sketch grafters. These people are
working overtime on the rich men Of
Wall street. to get them for magazine
sketches, books about self-made men
and various publications of the sort
which are ever in preparation, but
which rarely appear. The device en-
ployed by these people are many and
ingenious. The game gives support to
a dozen or more grafters, and among
the number are some who are said to
make from $4,000 to $4,000 year.
Some years ago a bureau was organ
lied to protect the rich men against
these fellows and. although considera-
BILE good has been done the work still
goes on. and the grafters contrive to
avoid the vigilance of the sleuths. The
assessment on individuals ranges from
$50 to $500.

Leather's Eight Per Cent.

Leather's Eight Per Cent.
Only for one year in its history has
United States Leather been able to pay
the full per cent. dividend on it's
preferred issue of $50. 900 900, and it is
at the present time barely earning 6
per cent. There has accumulated a
deficit of $25,0OO,000 on account of un-
paid dividends on preferred stock, and
this great sum is to be in some way
refunded or put in tangible form. BY
some mysterious method of reasoning
the proposed reconstruction of the
finances of the company is figured as
advantageous to the common stock,
although dividends on that issue are
as remote as the coming of the mill
lenium. There has been feverish spec
ulation in little Leather and large
sums of money have been won and
lost in the price fluctuations. John d.
Rockefeller. Jr., who has gone abroad
to recover his shattered health, must
have left behind him some market
medicine that works while he rests.
The wise old boys OF the Swamp
have been steadily selling Leather pre-
ferred on its rise from so to 106. The
Swamp is that section OF lower New
York in which centers the leather in

trusts have their headquarters there

and into the low priced stocks OF
Southern and Southwestern roads. This
shift is based on the theory that the
Northwest has had its growth. so to
speak, and the great increase in pop
ulation and exploitation of resources
for the next few years will be in the
South and Southwest.
One large investor not long ago sold
out his holdings in Northwestern. St
Paul New York Central, Pennsylvania
and New Haven and put his money
into Rock Island common, Frisco
common, Southern Railway, Southern
Pacific and some of the Gould issues,
combining his investments largely to
properties lying within the territory
south of Kansas City and Denver and
west of ST. Louis and New Orleans.
He EXPRESSED the opinion that within
the next ten years the population of
that section would increase so per cent.
at least, and that that would be only
the beginning of the development of
the country. He had much to say
about climatic advantages, and dwelt
on the fact that in the matter of soil
and other natural advantages. the
South and Southwest were equal, if
not superior, to the Northwest, with
everything in favor of diversified crops
and immunity against losses incident
to more northerly chimes. Official sta
tistics-national. state and local-all
go to confirm the theory that the
great growth of the country in the
next decade will be in the Southwest.
