One of the largest single fees ever
paid TO lawyer was the 100000
which James b. Dill of New York re-
ceiyed for settling the disputes which
arose between Andrew Carnegie and
Henry c. Frick over the transfer Of
the properties merged in the United
States Steel Corporation. Mr.. Dill.
however, as observed by the Van
Norden Magazine. has now given up
his stupendous corporation fees for
the small annual salary OF Judge.
A fee only 100000 less than Mr..
Dill's was paid TO another New York
lawyer, William d. Guthrie, who re-
ceived 100000 for breaking the
will OF Henry B. Plant, owner of the
Plant system of steamships, railways
and hotels. The Plant estate was
valued at s24,O00,000, the widows
share of which was $4,000. 900, and
this having been tied up in trust she
engaged the lawyer to bring suit for
It's release. His fee represented 10
per cent. of the share.
Joseph II. Choate, before his APP
pointment as Ambassador to Great
Britain, received $200,000 for sim
gle argument before the United
States Supreme Court, the effect OF
which was that the income tax law
was declared unconstitutional AS

Ambassador at London Mr.. Choate's
salary was $4,000.
Among other large fees of lawyers
may be mentioned 100000 received
by John T.. Parsons of New York for
drawing single deed, $4,000
charged by David B. Hill for making
a single argument In the Molineux
case, $4,000 formerly received year
ly by Chauncey M. Depew from the
New York Central Railroad Com
pany and $4,000 as a retainer from
the Equitable Life; more than $780,
600 year until recently earned by
w. Bourke Cochran from consulta-
ton practice and the many thousands
of dollars paid to Samuel Inter
myer as counsel in the shipyard liti-
CATION and In recent insurance cases.
The fee of $4,000 and travelling
expenses which was paid to DR..
Adolph Lorenz of Vienna to treat
Lolita Armour for congenital hip
dislocation was much less than has
frequently been paid abroad by roy
atty King Edward when Prince of
Wales once paid a physician $780,
600 for four weeks services.
The fee of $1,000. which a New
York dentist charged Prince Louis of
Battenberg when the latter visited
this country with his fleet recently,
was much commented upon. For
dentists fee the sum was undoubt-
eddy large, but as compared with
some physicians fees 1t looks insig-
nificant
The salary of Henry o. Have
meyer as head of the American Sugar
Refining Company is $4,000 a year.
William E. Corey, president of the
United States Steel Corporation, re-
ceives 100000 a year. and the
chairman of the board OF directors
gets the same amount.
In contrast are the Government
salaries $4,000 to the President,
$4,000 TO a Cabinet officer; $13,500
to Admiral Dewey; $1,000 to Gen.
Chaffee. Chief OF STAFF; $1,000 to q
Captain IN the ayy. Chief Justice
Fuller lad raise last year and nov
receives $4,000.
The Church pays its leading men
no better than the State. A recent
Congregational year book gave no In
stance of q preachers salary above
$1,000.
An Episcopalian Bishop may re-
ceIve from $4,000 to $4,000. Fa-
nous city parishes I'm relatively few
cases pay clergymen as high as s10.-
coo a year, but the demands Of char
itv upon such clergymen are heavy.
