This is without doubt why he called in

church at Arden, with its seating capac-

public memorial services Sunday evening

OLD THEORY OF THE POLE.
Symmes Taught It Was q Hole
Openinr Into Earth's Interior.

The exploits Of DR.. Cook and Lieut.
Peary In the polar regions recall the fact
that nearly a century ago the north pole
was, S,known,to some geographers and the
public as 'Syumes' Hole" This name
came from the theory advanced by John
c. Symmes. and accepted by many. that
there were openings at the ends Of the
axis of the hollow sphere or earth.
Hence with some ''Symmes' Hole sound
ed az well as the north pole.
The school children were taught that
Greenland was bounded on the north ''by
some unknown ocean or by the north
poie'': the British possessions-New Brit
ain-by Davis straits to the limits OF the
Hudson Bay Companys charter and
westward to an unknown extent" and
Europe and Asia by the frozen ocean"
The existence OF the earth's axis was
learned but the nature of the poles has
remained natures secret till the recent
discoveries exploded the theory of
Symmes OF an opening there into the in
terior Of the earth-a theory whose few
supporters have been diminishing since
the death of Symmes. about 1880.

AFTER inspecting this document and

BANKERS TO CONFER
Movement to Secure Uniform
Bill Of Lading.
MEET IN CHICAGO MONDAY
Demand Law for Protection When
When Credit Is Granted.
MATTER IS BEFORE CONGRESS
Purpose Of Government to Sustain
Bankers Shown In Advisory De-
cision by Controller.
MATTER IS BEFORE CONGRESS

NEW YORK, September 11.-Large DEL
egations of eastern bankers and business
men will attend the national conference
looking to the establishment Of uniform
bill of lading, which will be held in Chi
cago on Monday. This conference, which
has been called by the bill of lading COM
mittee of the American Bankers Asso-
citation, will precede the annual conven-
tion of that association.
For the past three or four years. bank
ing, shipping and commercial interests of
the country have endeavored to secure
legislation that would safeguard the bill
of lading as an instrument OF credit, con-
tending that the failure of the carriers
to assume responsibility for the bills of
lading that they issue had resulted In
extensive frauds and the loss of several
million dollars annually by the banks OF
the United States. They have contended
further that unless the alleged evils were
remedies the banks would refuse to accept
bills of lading as basis OF credit. Sew
eral banks had already taken that stand,
and the fear that similar drastic measures
might be adopted by bankers generally
resulted in concerted action being taken
to secure the adoption OF uniform and
satisfactory laws that would settle the
controversy.
The entire question came up before the
Interstate commerce commission. which
recommended that the reforms proposed
by the bankers be adopted. but decided
that it had no legal power to enforce
this Recommendation against the car
riers.
Bill Now Before Congress.

into law the measure proposed by the

The Canadian railroads have adopted
the recommendations Of the American
Interstate commerce commission. but the
American railroads have not yet done
so. However, they have made efforts to
meet the wishes OF the shippers and
bankers, and it Is hoped that some def
mite understanding will be reached at
the Chicago conference.
The purpose of the United States gov

lading scheme is shown in an advisory
opinion given by the controller of the

cotton There are more new cotton kings anu
nrinces today than ever before. Practically all OF
these are southerners, who have had an expert
knowledge of this staple. Most of them have been
cotton planters themselves on a large ccale, and all
their lives they have been studying cotton, Its
growth and it's overwhelming markets.
Almost every day there have been rumors fly
ing about as to what Patten was doing in cotton.
But curiously enough there has been never a word
said about the real bull leader in the cotton mar
ket, the man who has been the biggest Spectator
in this staple, and who recently has jumped into
the multimillionaire class, Eugene G.. Scales OF
Dallas, Tex. Scales is the most towering bull,
probably, that the cotton market ever has known.
Patten is a piker beside him. Even the celebrated
Mr.. Sully in his palmiest days never operated on
such a huge basis as Scales has been in the last
eight months.
This new and mighty multi-millionaire in the cot
ton market has steadfastly kept himself In the
background. He is no amateur Spectator, how
ever, for five years ago he was in one of the Sully
campaigns and retired from the fight with several
large dents in his financial armor. But now he
las won back all his losses and a lot more.
Some among the many others WHO know cotton"
and have won big fortunes through it's rise in price
are Fergus Reid of Norfolk, Va; Morris II. Roth
schild of Woodville, Miss; William P. Brown OF
New Orleans and Louis s. Berg Of Mississippi.
Berg had charge OF the Chalmette terminals at
New Orleans not long ago and was a Woodworking
railorad man. A little later he pieced together a
lot of small Mississippi railroads and combined
them into an effective and profitable system. Then,
with a modest fortune, he came to New York, and
since then has been making money out Of cotton.
' And so the list runs on. Hardly a name among
the thousands OF new millionaires is familiar to
New Workers. They are practically unknown out
side of the small communities they came from In
the west and south. They live in the costliest suites
In the most expensive New York hotels. Next
summer, If they have no setback they will begin
leasing or buying palaces at Newport, Bar Har-
Dor or other places where the socially elect are
supposed to live. Then they will begin trying to
break through the imaginary Enclosure with which
society" surrounds itself. There are SO many OF
these new millionaires that perhaps like the incur
sion of a new race they will overwhelm and con-
quer the relatively small group of people who have
been priding themselves on having their wealth for
a decade or more. At any rate, the names OF most
of these new millionaires probably will be read for
the first time In print in the next years books or
social registry, which form the nearest approach to
the directory OF the peerage that the plutocracy Of
America knows.

vidually with any degree of accuracy. Compare
lively few OF the old band of millionaires have
failed to add materially to their fortunes since the
panic. There are some, 1t is true, who were more
or less disabled in those days, and the period that
predeced them who have not succeeded in win.
ming back their lost money and prestige; some
who were in the Inflated trust companies, others
of the insurance crowd, and so on. But those
who held on and were able to weather the storms
have been lifted up and now are richer than ever.
Not only that, but a large number of new groups
of great financial strength has been developed.
There is the Hawley group, for instance, which
has made millions and millions in the rise in val
ues of railway shares. Edwin Hawley, the head
of this coterie. was not a big Wall street figure
until within the last year or SO, but of late he has
added UNNECESSARILY to his wealth and to his DOW
er as a transportation king.
Among those of his friends who have climbed
into the chariot of the plutocrats is Frank A. Van
derlip, the president of the National City bank.
He is reputed to have made more than a million
out of Chesapeake G. Ohio and Union Pacific.
When he was assistant secretary of the treasury
a few years ago Vanderlip was a man of very
moderate means and lived in a modest little fiat
In Washington. After he came to New York his
wealth increased somewhat, but only since the
first of this year has he entered the millionaire
class.

new crop of multi-millionaires is a banker named
Scott, who piled up a 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
poor man when the rise in stocks began, but he is
said to be a very rich one now. Then there is a
new crop of Union Pacific millionaires, Southern
Pacific millionaires, Wabash, Rock Island and
many other groups of new millionaires who have
become wealthy by the tremendous upturn Of the
shares they were interested in. Some of these
men were millionaires before the beginning of this
year; these have now moved up to the multi
millionaire class.
There are quite as many who have won for
tunes In the field of industrial stocks, especially in
United States Steel common. One of these-more
than a millionaire when he began buying Steel
is Frank A. Munsey, the publisher. He is said to
have started his Steel purchases two years ago.
