ferred to the trust at profit that ran
into millions.
Other industrial companies In which
he is largely concerned are the Ameri-
can Linseed OIL company, two OF the big
express companies, the sugar trust and
the various organizations known collec-
lively as the tobacco trust.
Not a Railway Man, But
John d. Rockefeller is not known as
q railway man. While there are Van
derbilt, Hill, Morgan and Hartman
systems, there is no combination OF
roads known as the Rockefeller system.
Nevertheless Mr.. Rockefeller is the larg-
est individual holder of railroad securi-
ties In the country. He is heavily inter-
ested In the Gould roads-Missouri Pa
cific, Missouri, Kansas & Texas, Texas
g. Pacific and Wabash-and 1t is through
his backing and assistance that George
Gould has been able to fight his way
successfully against the powerful COM
bination of railway interests In bringing
his lines eastward toward the Atlantic
seaboard. But in addition to this he Is
a heavy holder of the stocks and bonds
more particularly the bonds, OF almost
every one of the big eastern lines, as
well as of Northern Securities and OF
half a dozen of the big roads running
out of Chicago. Probably not less than
$50 .O00. 900 of his wealth Is invested IN
railways. And 1t should be borne In
mind that practically all these holdings
were bought when their market rating
was much less than it is to-day.
The solidity and power that come from
the backing of unlimited millions are
valuable assets for bank or trust COM
pany. A number of the most important
of these institutions in New York and
other cities have prospered through the
magic of connection with the Rocke-
Teller name. Certain of these, like the
National City and Hanover banks. OF
New York, the First national OF Chi
cago and the two largest banks In Cleve'
land, are known as Rockefeller institu-
lions.
These are by no means the measurs

lars. Many of them, directed by tho
keen trading instinct OF their owner,
have multiplied themselves threefold
within the past dozen years. one OF the
advantages OF aggregated wealth Is that
Il enables It's possessor In times OF
panic or depression TO purchase valuable
properties cheaply and by the simple
process Of holding them until better
times to realize q multiplied return on
the investment.
Three-Fold Profit In Iron.
Mr.. Rockefeller has done this In many
instances. A notable case was that OF
his iron ore properties. During the de-
preston OF 1893 he bought, cheaply for
cash. the ore lands of Lake Superior and
the Minnesota ranges. He improved the
mining equipment, built great docks and
invested in huge ore carriers on the
great lakes. When the era OF high
prices came along on the prosperity
wave of 1900 and the United States Steel
corporation was organized Mr.. Rookie
TELLER sold out. The $25,000,000 which
Mr.. Rockefeller has In one form or an
other OF steel holdings may be said to
represent almost entirely profits on his
investment Of dozen years ago. II Is
understood that in addition to his inter-
ests in the United States Steel corpora
ton. however. he has very large hold
ings in the Lackawanna Steel company,
while he is a recognized factor In the
affairs Of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company.
Very much the same story as his
profitable investments in iron-ore lands
could be told of his connection with the
lead and zinc mines which were trans

From the purely nnanclal point VI
view, however, Mr.. Rockefeller Is easily
the worlds greatest potentate. the
car of Russia enjoys an annual income
of about $12.OOO.O00; Emperor William,
as king of Prussia. receives little less
than $4,000 900; the emperor Of Austria
Hungary, $3.S75.O00; King Edward, 81

King John, as emperor Of oil, king OF
steel. banking and railroads, ana
nrince of several lesser dominions,
could buy and sell them all. II he had
to earn his present wealth at the rate
of two dollars day, which many OF his
employees receive. It would take him
something more than $4,000 years 10
accomplish the task. or considerably
longer than we have any record OF In
human history. 1t is not merely the
number of John D. Rockefeller's MIL
lions. astounding as is their total, that
Is most impressive. 1t is the power
which they convey. BY reason OF his
ability to reward and punish, to mako
and unmake values, to bestow riches OF
ruin. he is almost absolute master not
only of those enterprises in which ne
holds a major monetary interest but In
all those to which he cares to turn his
attention in any way. The enterprises
in which he holds investments aggre-
gate a capitalization Of over $b,0eO.-

Judge Edings and granting new trial.
The new trial was held before Mat
thewman at Kailua in January last
and he decided in favor of defendants
upon the single ground that the lease
under which they held provided that
it could not be forfeited unless all of
it's covenants We're broken. whereas
the plaintiff claimed that only a few
of the covenants had been broken. The
plaintiff took exceptions to the judg-
ment and later, when the defendants
gave notice of motion before Judge
Matthewman for an order to restore to
them the possession, the Estate went
into the Supreme Court last June and
obtained a temporary writ of prohibit
ton, restraining further proceedings in
the main suit in the Third Circuit, and
that suit of prohibition is on the pres
ent calendar of the Supreme Court
and was continued October to the
November session. in view of the then
pending negotiations for settlement.
Tn the meantime the Kapiolani Es-
tate had, as claimed by it, become en-
titled to q one-third interest in all of
the estates of the defunct Kona Sugar
Co., as sold at auction at Kailua, May
g, 1903, and purchased by Robert W.
ShingIe as trustee for c. J. HutchinS
and others. This claim was resisted by,
Hutchins and resulted in the Estates
assigning it's interest under that sale
to Robert L. Colburn, who brought suit
in equity in the First Circuit Court
to declare a trust in his favor concern
ing the one-third so claimed The in
junction in that suit was issued by
Judge Gear against Hutchins, which
practically tied UP the control of the
property.
Negotiations have been pending for
over a year looking to a sale of the
lands owned by the Kapiolani Estate
affected by the lease in question, up
on one of which lands the cane mill
is situated. The mill has been the real
bone of contention, as its possession
was the key to the situation, and the
Estate was careful to secure that pos
session at the earliest possible date
and has succeeded in keeping it to this
date, although none of the suits has
been finally decided.
Now, however. as a part of the
project to revive the Kona plantation
and the culture of sugar generally
along the Kona coast Frank B. Nc
