Three-fourths of the doctors graduated

according to DIR. Chester Mayer member

The charges are backed by statistics from

officer in the Association of American

rigid examination methods. There are
on an average 1000 doctors graduated
every year by the medical colleges of
the country, and about three-fourths of
these are utterly incompetent and should
never be permitted to practice medicine,
said DIR. Mayer. Certain medical col

the instructors are wanting in the neces-

That the professional gambler has the
best of the game is proved every time an
investigation lets in the light of truth
But the recent revelations made by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome of New York are
simply astounding in their exposure of
how the pool room proprietors fleece the
people who think they can beat the horse
racing game. The other day his agents
raided pool room at 112 Fulton street
and were fortunate enough to secure pos
session of neatly kept set of books
which make astounding revelations. The
books contain complete record of the
pool room transactions for several years
past. They show that in January, 1899,
a bank roll'' of $1,000 was made up.
Every day of the month the transactions
are summed up in columns of winnings
and losings. The books show, after all
expenses including protection" money
had been paid, profit of $10,053.75. In
May there was another ''whackup" of
profits amounting to S14,271. Then the
bank roll' was increased to $4,000.
From that time, May, 1899, the bank roll
was never drawn upon in any single
month and for eight years the winnings
have averaged $250000 n year or So
100000 during the eight years. The
books show how and among whom the
money was divided and it is believed that
Mr.. Jerome is warmer on the scent of

before. One of those who regularly re-
ceived a 16 per cent rake-off is said to
be a State Senator. Mr.. Jerome will not
make names public at this time.

Old Mistake May Change Ownership
of Railroad Worth $50, 1000, coo.
The error of law clerk many years
ago may mean a fortune to Russell Sage
Raphael of New York and his mother and
sisters. Many years ago Nathan Raphael.
a close friend of Russell Sage, purchased
S6S0,0Oo worth of second mortgage bonds
OF the Was6tch and Jordan Valley Rail-
road Company, which owned line IN
Utah. The interest on the bonds OF the
road was defaulted and the first mortgage
was foreclosed, cutting out the holders
OF the second mortgage securities.
short time ago Russell Sage Raphael,
SOD of Nathan Raphael, began suit in the
federal court on the bonds, and secured
a judgment for S1.6S0,7 6S. including in
terest. This judgment has been returned
by the sheriff as unsatisied and has been
filed in court. While working up this
case Mr.. Raphaels lawyers discovered
that when the first mortgage was fore
closed the holders Of the second mort
gage, probably by a clerks error, were
not made parties to the suit. This, II is
claimed, invalidates the foreclosure pro-
ceedings. The old railroad property,
which now belongs to the Denver, Rio
Grande and Western is said to be worth
about $30,OOOOO0. The second mortgage
bonds issued by the original road amount
ed to $S00,0O0 1t is not known who
owns the other $4,000 of these bonds.

Grand total

These figures do not include the work
on the Ambrose channel in the harbor.
which is S4000,000 job. nor do they
take into account the engineering work
done on great buildings. There was
about $40,0O0,000 worth of building done
in New York last year for Office and fac
tory buildings alone. 1t is safe to say
that from S10,000000 to S15.000.000 of
that work required the services of expert
engineers. There is probably more work
of that kind going on this year than last.
So it may be said that besides the Sell
100000 already mentioned there is fully
S14 100000 more of engineering work
going on, making a grand total of $50
100000 worth of construction in connec-
ton with transportation and building al
ready under way or providedvfor in and
around New York which may be describ-
ed properly as great engineering projects
This sum of 1928 100000 may be term
ed a fact established, but there are other
vast projects still in The stage of con-
templation-more tunnels and bridges
and buildings, some of which undoubted-
ly will be constructed in the not distant
future, which will amount to from $780,
100000 to S3O0000,000 more.
The above outline of large operations
in progress does not refer to the new
buildings which will be erected, except
the tunnel and railway terminals. Nam
moth hotels, apartment houses, stores,
theaters, ETC., must be added to the list
if anything like complete idea of the
construction work in New York is to be
obtained.
New York City's great project for Sc
curing a water supply from the Catskills
will cost about $162,000,000. That pro-
ject means the construction of enormous
dams in half a dozen different valleys,
the wiping out of many settlements, the
construction of a long system of tunnels
and pumping stations, including the tun-
mel under the Hudson river, the erection
of gates and the distribution of the water
in the city. 1t is the largest undertake
ing of the kind the world has ever known.
This water supply for New York is a
far greater enterprise than the Panama
canal in the engineering problems and
even in the money outlay There are
also private engineering problems going
on in New York which reach into the
millions. Many Of these have to do with
the construction of great buildings.

SIX of Them Have Fortunes Arrre-
eating Quarter of Billion.
Six widows of the United States have
an aggregate wealth of more than quar-
ter of a billion dollars. William Henry
left an estate estimated at $4,000 900.
Hetty Green does not talk about her for
tune, but it has been placed at from
S60,O00.OO0 TO $S0000,000. Mrs. Russell
Sage came into SS5,0OO,OO0, but she has
given away $15,O00,O00 in less than a
year. There is Mrs. Anna Weightman
Walker. who is worth S60,000,O00. Mrs.
Marshall Field is comfortable on $l5,-
100000, and Mrs Marshall Field, Jr.,
has $5,O00,0O0. Her wealth is not so
great in itself, but her sons will come
into, perhaps, $5o000,0O0 when they are
of age. All this wealth has not accumu-
lated by the husbands. of the women; as a
matter of fact, in but two instances were
the husbands the money makers, and they

Hetty Green inherited about 10000
600 from her father, and she has spent
all her life trying to see how high she
could pile up the pyramids of golden
coins. When she is not engaged in fight
ing lawyers, Mrs Green spends her time
in buying substantial securities and clip
ping coupons. When she dies the fortune
will go to her son, Edward Green, rail-
road builder and politician in Texas, and
her daughter, Sylvia, who is unmarried.
Mrs. Russell Sage's greatest gift was
$10,0O0,00O for improving the condition
of the poor. She has announced that in
the distribution of the Sage millions there
will be no indiscriminate giving. Mrs.
Walker is primarily business woman
and spends most of her time keeping track
of her investments. Her wealth came
from her father, William Weightman of
Philadelphia.

Arrivals for April VIII Total More
than 10000, Chiefly Italians.
How stupendous is the rush of immi-
grafton to the port of New York this
spring is shown in a tabulation that
makes it appear that Aprirs arrivals will
total more than 100000. There are wait
ing in the harbor 10,496 men, women and
children, chiefly Italians. When the
twenty-five ships due within the next few
days arrive there will be waiting in the
harbor and at the piers about 10000 pros
pective jewellers in our land. Farm hands
and day laborers have been attracted by
the stories of high wages and general
prosperity that have been sent to the
old country by relatives and friends. Be
sides, the new immigration law will go
into effect on July l. and makes it harder
for laborers to enter the country, so
there is a rush TO get in before the new
barriers are raised. The record for
April of 1906 was 131, 631. There have
already landed 101 400, and by the end
of the month the figures will be over
10000, making the record month in the
history of the station at Ellis island.

Marshal of English, Ind, Wounded
After Attempts to Burn bridge.
Several attempts of train wreckers TO
set fire to a bridge on the Southern rail-
road, near Temple, Ind, were discovered
the other night by the town marshal of
English, who was shot twice by two
men believed to be the wreckers. About
midnight the night telegraph operator at
Temple saw a fire on the bridge near his
station On investigation he found a
bunch of waste burning and extinguished
it. After he returned three freight trains
passed the station and when they had
gone by he again saw flames at the bridge
and found it had been set on fire second
time. He notified the dispatcher at Prince
ton, who telephoned the marshal of Eng
lish TO go TO the bridge on a train that
was coming into that station and to pick
up any suspicious men along the track.
The marshal met two men and demanded
that they give an account of themselves.
One of the men opened fire on the officer,
shooting him in the hip and in the bow
els. a posse accompanying the marshal
succeeded in arresting one of the men,
but the other escaped 1t Is believed that
there were four men in the gang.

800 acres, which are beautifully laid out.
The exposition buildings proper consist
of % structures, among them being an
auditorium and convention hall, 160x236
feet. having wings 90 feet long, and an
auditorium 91x91 feet, with a seating
capacity of about 5000; palace of
manufactures and liberal arts, 2S0x550
feet; a palace of machinery and trans
portation. 2S0x550 feet States extiD
palace, 300x500 feet; a mining and
metallurgy building, 100a250 feet by
gienic and medical building, 100x250
feet; pure food building, 90x300 feet
a palace of history and historic arts,
124x129 feet, and an education building,
124x129 feet.
Besides these are what is known as
are arts and crafts village, which con-
sists of seven cottages of colonial archi-
lecture. These are the textile buildings,
53xSS feet copper. silver and woodwork
ers' shops, 44x137 feet: pottery shops.
4Sx50 feet iron shops. 4Sx50 feet model
school. 35x45 feet, with model school
room 23x32 feet mothers and children's
building, 60x100 feet, and Pocahontas
hospital, 50xS0 feet.
Most of the States have made appro-
priations or otherwise provided for build
ings and exhibits. Some of them have
reproduced with fidelity some famous
building connected with their history.
Pennsylvania, for instance, has raised
second Independence Hall, Massachusetts
its old State House Maryland has re-
produced the home of Charles Carroll of
Carrollton Georgia has erected a second
Bullock Hall. the home of the mother of
President Roosevelt. In every instance
the State buildings are characteristic.
-Four of the Western States. Washing
ton. Oregon. Idaho and Montana, have
jointly erected a gigantic building in the
form of a maltese cross, each State to
occupy a section. Even Oklahoma, the
last State to enter the sisterhood, has
erected a suitable building.
Among the foreign countries which
take official part in the celebration are
Great Britain, Germany, Russia, France,
Japan, Switzerland. Italy, Belgium,
Spain, Sweden and Greece of the eastern
hemisphere and Brazil, Argentina, Venez-
uela. Mexico. Chile, Santo Domingo,
Porto Rico, Salvador. Peru. Guatemala,
