ly all of the big wholesale and retail

While almost every organization de-
voted to the interest of the develop
ment of Chicago adopted resolutions
honoring the memory of Mr. Field tho
State street merchants met and agreed
to close their stores Friday from T. to
o clock, while the funeral is in progress.
The Board of Trade. of which Mr.

On Saturday afternoon at o'clock
the citizens of Skowhegan will be given
an opportunity of learning what has
been accomplished by the special COM
mittce of five concerning the building
of municipal building and securing
site for the same. The meeting will be
held in Engine hall on the island and II

tect will be present and present and
explain at length floor plans and front
elevations for building which could
be built upon either the Bacon lot on
Island avenue or upon the Richard w.
Brown lot on Water street. The ques-
ton of whether the town will build or
not will be decided at the annual meet
ing to be held the second Monday in
March. There are a number of loca-
tons which are available and it is
more than probable that should the
town vote to build at the March meet
ing much difficulty would be expert
onccd in choosing a lot. This special
committee, it will be remembered, was
not empowered to choose q site, they
can only recommend one. Since the
committee was appointed one of the

thought, may be found one suitable for
this town with slight notifications.

NJ Holmes OF New York. is detained at
the House Of Detention here, having
been arrested last night on a telegram
signed William w. Holmes Of No. 20
read: ARREST my wife; believed to be
dcinented."
When Mrs. Holmes was taken into
custody she stated that she had some
papers for President Roosevelt and
Sec Taft that would reveal startling
things to them. She said that her busi-
ness was in the interest of peace but
that she would not make it known un-
til she had seen the President. If she
could not see him, she said she would
see Sec. Taft.
II propose to unmask at least three
traitors" said Mrs. Holmes. II re-
present Mrs. Elizabeth Grannis, presi-
dent OF the National Puritan Congress
and an exponent of the womcn'S rights.
Upon my arrival in the city / sent
messages to two congressman that
am here and when the detectives came

and therefore admitted them.
Il have a letter to the Vice President
and am otherwise clothed with good
credentials and authority. I intend see

son. 1 don't propose to be elected from

ris. and l will notify him of my pres
ence here. He knows something about
the secret of my mission.

porting to come from my husband and
am not ready 10 believe that he sent
it."

graDhed to and she is being held await

town Thursday. Mr.. Murch is resi-
dent of Biddeford and came here in
regard to buying two Of the cars of the
road for use on branch road near his
native city. He was accompanied by
the new owner, Nathan Berliawsky OF
Waterville. who. it is reported. will dis
mantle the line at once. 1t is thought
a few Of the rails may >be used al
though they are much lighter than
those in use now. The arms will be
sold for old iron and those rails past
their usefulness will go into the old
Junk heap. The most valuable Of all is
of course the copper wire which is
worth good money at present and
which will find a ready sale. Mr..
Murch was of the opinion that Mr..
Berlawsky will more than get out of
his purchase whole and confirmed the
rurnor that the price paid by him was
$4,000.

MARSHALL FIELDS FORTUNE.
Conservative Estimate Place 1t at
About $10O,oCO,000.

Chicago. Jan. 1S-InquircS among
Marshal Fields business associates and
friends reveal no definite information
as to how he will dispose of his estate.
The property is conservatively estimat-
ed at 500, 0,O00, COO
In addition to the Chicago wholesale
and retail establishments, Mr.. Field is
probably the largest individual owner
of Chicago real estate. His invest
ments in railroad and industrial cor
pOratiOnS are also large.
OF late years he has been making
large investments in New York real es
tate. and the expansion If his business
iE all parts of the world has called for
heavy investments in the leading CEN
tres of commerce and trade.
Mr.. Field has been called upon to
redraw his will a number of times. The
first new will followed the death of the
first Mrs. Field. Then, when he mar
ricd Mrs. Cation in London last sum-
mer, he mace a new will, and again af-
ter the recent accidental killing of his
son. 1t is generally understood that
the loss of his son SO unnervcd Mr.
Field that he had not reached q decis-
ion as to the disposition of the bulk of
his property at the time he left Chica-
go just prior to his final illness.
1t was reported that Mrs. Cation,
when she was married to Mr.. Field,
waived down rights by the acceptance
Of 4 large personal settlement. This
would leave Mr.. Fields daughter. who
lives in England. the only direct heir.
but it is considered more likely that the
bulk of the estate will be placed in the
hands of trustees for the benefit of his
srandsons. Marshall Field. Sd, and
Henry Field, who are minors.
In addition tdo the S10G00,000 museum
which Mr.. Field has given to Chicago,
work on which will begin this spring,
it will undoubtedly be found that Mr..
Field will leave a large sum for public
purposes i'll Chicago. There will also
be q large list of personal beQueSts, but
it is the general view here that the cs-
tate will so devOlve upon his grandsons
as to insure the perretuation Of the
name in the business which was his
life work and his pride.
