MILLIoNAIREs NOT so RICH.
Chief Census Statistieian Says Thsir
Fortunes Are Exaggerated.


Fortunes Are Exaggerated.
Chicago, Sept 22.-American mil
lionaires are not so rich as they are
painted.
That the aggregate wealth of the
possessors Of great fortunes is ex-
aggerated largely by the public is the
conclusion reached by LIE Grand Pow
ers, chief statistician of the United
States census bureau, who has written
his views in an article on The Assets
Of the United States, which appears
in the current number of the American
Journal of Sociology.
The statement that millionaires own
almost the entire amount OF wealth
listed by the census, Powers objects to,
declaring that the wealth of the coun-
try has not been placed high enough
by the census reports.
Powers places the national wealth
for 1908 at between $117. .000, 100000 and
s120, 0,000, 100000 on the basis that the
annual increment Is between 32,500,-
00O.00 and $3.00O,000.oO0.

BAKER AND SULLIVAN
MATCH IS ARRANGED
WELTERS WILL OPEN VERNON
FIGHT CARNIVAL
Welsh viii Rusticate for Several
Weeks at Catalina - Carsey
Starts Active Training
: Early This Week

Peter Sullivan will have another
chance to show the local fans what
he can do with the mitts, for Manager
Long of the Jeffries club yesterday
signed him with Howard Baker, the
match to act as a Semi-Windup to the
Frank Carsey-Kid Dalton mill, which
will be staged at Vernon on the after
noon of June 90 The boys will weigh
in at 142 pounds and at this figure
should put up an interesting battle.
Before his bout with Dalton, Peter
was touted as world beater, but when
he came right down to cases 1t was
found that at 1873 pounds, the weight
he was forced to make for the Kid, he
was in no condition to do his best. Sui
livan eagerly accepted when given
change to show the local fans that he
can deliver the goods when in condi-
ton and wasted no time in signing
with Baker.
In his one appearance here Baker
proved that he is likely candidate for
high honors among the light welters.
He went up against Dale Gardner not
long ago, and despite his opponents
well-known ability to Withstand pun
ishment and deliver few wallops on
his own account, managed to knock
Gardner out.
Freddie Welsh is the talk of the Ri
alto today and most of the fistic ex-
perts hail him as the cleverest man in
the business, Cans and Abe Attell eX-
cepted. Manager Long of the Jeffries
club is expecting to stage the English
lad on Fourth of July, and is on the
lookout for a suitable opponent. Fred
die stated yesterday that they could
pick out anyone his weight and every
thing else would be satisfactory to
him.
Welsh and his sister will leave for
Catalina today on a trip, and Freddie
expects to stay on the island for sew
eral weeks. His foot, which was hurt
prior to the bout with Brock, is still
in bad shape and he will give it a
good rest and scientific treatment be-
fore resuming work with the gloves.
Frank Carsey yesterday made ar
rangements to train at the South Side
club, and will start in work this week.
Peter Sullivan will act as chief spar
ring partner and the boys will get in
shape for their bouts together.
