CLEVELAND. Ohio. July 20.-The
World News says;
with his uncounted millions and his
mastery of men. mis- lifelong ambition
gratided, and no more worlds left for
his nerceEary conquering. the richest
man IN the world sits by the hour at
Forest Hin, his chin sunk On his breast.

He has lost interest in golf; he has

and then gives his directions terscly and
absently.
Press Clipping Bureau.
Ills greatest interest now Is in his
press clipping bureau. which is known
to be a system. perfected as highly as
those maintained for the benefit Of
kings. The flood of printed denuncia-
tions recently let loose upuon him ex-
ercises over him fascination which he
cannot escape, though the inevitable
consequence be humiliation and heart
burning.

Need Him Every Hour.

As Assistant Secretary Of the Depart
meut Of Commerce and Labor. Mr. Muir
ray has among other duties the super
vision Of the immigration service. and
there are officials Of the bureau of i'm
migration Who say that they need Mir.
Murray's attention today, tomorrow. and
ali the year round. As It is. they say.
they have to do without him practically
all the time
Mr.. Heath, Mr.. Johnson, and Mr
Wynne found the office OF First Assist
ant Postmaster General exacting in the
extreme. All three of them worked
hard twelve hours out Of every twenty
four while they were in office. MI
Hitchcock, who is BY nature at least as
careful as any one of his three recent
predecessors. has not tound the post
any easier lthan they. Since the Keep
commission came into existence he has
had to work way into the night, and
there are important problems Of Post
Office administration which require his
Immediate attention.
Pinchot's Great Work.
Mr. Piuchot virtually created the Bu-
rcau of Forestry The whole field of
its operations depends upon him. 1t
has become bureau of considerable
size, and the mere detail of its daily
operation ought to receive a great deal
OF his time. Like his associates Of the
Keep commission, he has been COM
PEELED 10 sacrifice this work for the
past month. II he makes up the ground
already lost it must De by putting aside
other responsibilities.
The commission hopes to get even
this summer. But the work of every
one OF the five bureaus will be increased
III the fall, and if. then. there should be
no Lanston Inquiry to divert the com
mission from its broad task of improv-
ing departmental methods. It's mem

Little more than this prospect was OBJ

was side-traclSed on the Lanston in
quiry at the Government Printing Of
flee. and on that work it has been al
most exclusively occupied ever since.
In the meantime, every member of the
commission has been seriously embaT-
rassed to keep his grip on the work Of
his own bureau. Indicative though it
was of the Presidents desire TO organ
ize the best possible commission, the
selection Of officials all assigned to de-

KEEP COMMISSION
IS HANDICAPP
Every One Of It's Members
Has Other Duties.
IMPORTANT LABORS THEIRS
Unless Relieved of Their Regular As

a Standstill.
IMPORTANT LAB0RS THEIRS

Prominent officials throughout the de-
partmental service are reluctantly reach
ing the conclusion that unless some
change is made in the assignments OF
its members the inquiry Of the Keep
Commission into the methods Of the
departments is likely to result in little
good.
Other assistant secretaries and bureau
chiefs are naturally unwilling to dis
cuss such matter for publication. But
they have less hesitancy in discussing
it among themselves and it is an open
secret that they believe, unless the com
mission is given more time for its
work, the departments cannot hope
for any notable benefit from 1t.
The ground for this view is twofoid:
First, that members of the commits
sion have been so occupied with other
work ever since it was created that II
mas been able TO make practically no
progress at all III more than a month.
Second. that in the fall there Will be
just as much or more difficulty in find
ing time
At Great Disadvantage.
At the outset, say the officials, 1t was
manifest the commission must work at
a great disadvantage. Every member
of 1t had already more than one mans
work to do Three of the five were at
their offices nearly every evening in the
week It was evident. therefore, that
the work of the commission must either
be done largely at night or push back
the regular desk work Of its members
into the night
Choosing the latter course, the COM
mission was able the first week or
thereabouts to gather important and
promising information in the Treasury
Department The work of those first
few days alone is said to have indi-
Gated the prospect OF practical results
of the utmost advantage to the whole
departmental service.

An incident which occurred at the
moment In which the kaiser and the
car met On board the Russian imperial
yacht Polar Star has leaked Out, al
though every effort has been made to
keep it secret. AS the monarchs met
the revolver which the German en-
peror always carries and which never
leaves him slipped from hfs belt and
fell on the deck with a crash. The
car was startled, and the kaiser ex.
planned at once that he carries the re-
volver SO that he may be armed In
case he Is attacked. A thought reader

HOLDS WILL IS VOID
Judge Slosson Refuses to Admit
to Probate the Unique
Will of Hosea Barnes
PROPERTY FOR HIS SISTERS

Judge Russell H. S1osson Of the
county court has declined to admit to
probate the last will and testament of
the late Hosea Barnes, the pioneer
schoolmaster of Kenosha who died a
few weeks ago at his home on Julius
street, and instead of going to his
friends IN Kenosha his heir1ooms and
other property will be divided be-
tween his two sisters.
The will has been declared invalid
on account of the fact that it was
signed by but one witness. The doc
ument shows that the will was signed
by John Frenz and John Callahan, as
witnesses, but the evidence in con-
nection with the probate showed that
they had not signed in the presence
of each other, and under the law the
will will have to be denied probate.
There was no contest of the will on
the part of the sisters of the deceased
and they favored the distribution of
the property in accordance with the
desires of Mr.. Barnes, but the legal
point was raised in court.
BY the terms of the will, which was
written few days before the death
Of Mr.. Barnes, his personal property
was largely divided among his friends
in Kenosha with whom he had lived
for so many years. More than twenty
Kenosha people and many from other
cities were named as 1egatees under
the will, but the amount given to
each was exceedingly small. The
entire estate was valued at between
three and four thousand dollars.
Under the ruling of the court the
property will be divided among the
legal heirs to the estate, and it is
thought probable that in the near
future new petition for administra-
ton of the estate will be fled. It is
not thought that any of the people
named as legatees under the will will
make an effort to force the probate.

of the order could have heard the
presentation and discussion before
the supreme council the result would
be accepted with little demur. Many
members dissatisfied with the new
rates, as they affected them indi-
vidually, acknowledged their neces-
sity and equity when they understood
the subject. No sufficient reason
was shown or suggested for rescind-
ing the Atlantic City rates, and the
arguments eliminated in a fraterna1
appeal to tighten the burdens of the
older members. It was conc1usively
shown impossible to give this class of
members a rate that would be salts
factory to them and be adequate for
the future. 1t was admitted, too, that
all considerations of fraternity and
business necessity and expediency
apply to the young member with his
growing family, needing protection,
quite as strongly as to any other class
of members.
