1t is taken for granted that his Tn
known gifts to charities and persons
have been in the neighborhood of
$4,000, 900, at least. He has, then,
within the last twenty years given

intact as it was when he retired from

magnificent suburban home at Hins-
dale. This, it is thought, may be made
into a home for the crippled children
OF Chicago, as DR.. Pearsons' big heart
has always had a particularly warm
spot for these unfortunate mites.
All this has been a most conserva-

Chicago philanthropist has, to say the

Before DR.. D. K. Pearsons reaches
his Goth birthday, he means to have
disposed of the remainder of his once
large fortune, the bulk of which he
has given away within the last twenty
years. This announcement as made
by him recently has raised much com
ment and conjecture concerning Chica-
COS famous philanthropist.
How much has he been worth?
What has been his yearly income?
How much has he given to colleges
and missionary enterprises?
How much has he given that has
never been advertised or heard of?
How much has he left to give away
before the time he has set when he
will again, as when a young man,
std before the world empty handed,
His Golfers void and his bank book
blank?
All these questions are being dis
cussed by the curious.
All through his life DR.. Pearsons has
maintained much reserve regarding
u1o dpdlIS.
ITO listen is far better than to talk"
has been his motto, and not even to his
closest friends has he conided his eX
act financial status. But it has been
possible to get from a number of per-
sons who have been connected with
him in n way or another a general
estimate which, while it may not oe
exactly correct, is at least as nearly
so as any one except the philanthropist
himself is capable of giving.
Nj twenty years ago Dr.. Pearsons'
fortune was, as it is thought to have
been. in the neighborhood of S. 600, 900,
his yearly income, at a most conserva.
tive estimate, must have been at least
$500, 900.
During the twenty years his known
gifts to colleges have amounted to-
S2,579,000 And to this the $40, 900 gift
just made to the Young Mems Chris
tian Association of Chicago and the
s100, 600 which he has announced he
will present to Berea College in the
near future, and which, by the way,
will be his last college presentation,
and the amount is increased to $2,699,-
BOO.

JAPANESE PASSENGERS

Delay Occasioned by Immigra-

Japan was furnished with another
grievance yesterday. When the liner
China docked orders were issued that
none of the Japanese passengers. cabin
or steerage. be allowed to land. For
everybody else. including a number of
Chinese and three Hipdus. the gang
way was free and the welcome sign
exposed. There was quite an uproar
among the little brown men which
lasted until the bar to their landing
had been removed.
The immigration bureau was re-
sponsible for the temporarily closed
door. 1t seems that Uncle Sam re-
quires all Japanese. immigrants or
tourists, to answer certain questions
before they are allowed TO land.
Answers to these questions must be
taken down by a stenographer. and
yesterday the stenographer. who
should have boarded the liner in quar-
antine, oversight. In his absence the
wheels of the bureau stood still After
an hour or so of waiting the Japanese
were allowed to land.

Bellevue avenues called a social cita-
del, and which has been closed IA
years, unfolded its wrought iron gates
to little army of crusaders. They
were accompanied by invited allies,
who advanced with frou frou of
skirts and exclamations of delightful
anticipation. These approached the
hitherto impossible gates, gave the
countersign of the dollar and liveried
sentinels saluted and stepped stiffiy
aside.
Bellevue avenue perhaps never WITT
messed the like of today's activities.
Motor cars and carriages with and
without erests crowded the asphalt.
and across the street from the paved

The mistress minds of suffrage in
this country aimed oratorical shrapnel
into the ranks assembled on the lawn
of Marble house. Mrs. Julia Ward

leader in the cause, was wheeled in a
sedan chair across the field blazing
with fierensi and smoking with huge
puffs OF rhododendrums, and, conquer
ing the weight of 80 years, stood on
the firing line for five minutes to de-
liver a strong appeal.
Miss Shaw was enthusiastic and
spoke with fervor and brilliancy.
While Mrs. Belmont showed no nerv-
BUSINESS in presiding at the meeting,
she made her address of welcome so
short that she probably unwittingly
holds the worlds championship. She
simply smiled most eloquently and said:
