When he was assistant secretary of the treasury

moderate means and lived in a modest little fiat

wealth increased somewhat, but only since the
first OF this year has he entered the millionaire
class.
Another of the Hawley group who is one of the

Scott, who piled up small fortune, dollar by dol

many fold of late in Wall street Still another Of
the same group is Robert Fleming, He was not a

OF industrial overexpansion. But since the panic
clouds have cleared away there has come another
and even more wonderful appreciation in values,
the most remarkable advance in the prices of all
commodities and securiu y that this country has
ever known. Probably mOre llionaires have been
made in the last Y months by the steadily rising

number of those who have grown rich quickly Is
greater, probably than 1t was in the time of mer-

feature OF the opening years OF the
twentieth century, just after the close

aristOcracy of wealth in America.
New York was invaded by horde Of
westerners whose manners in some
cases shocked even the imperturbable
servitors at the expensive hotels
where they monopolized the royal
suites. Pittsburg, from being simply
a great mill town, city of grimy
workmen. jumped into worldwide
prominence because it was discovered
suddenly that it had more millionaires
to the square inch than any other
spot on earth. In New York all sorts
of people achieved fortunes, paper or
