GETS ENORMOUS FEES
FOR FEW HOURS WORK
More Money Than Lifetime Earnings of Competent
Man Reward of Noted Attorneys in s...
Single Cases.

More money than an ordinarily paid
oman could make in a whole lifetime
Il of persistent effort in coming to be
! the portion Of successful lawyers and
doctors for single cases.
n The reward of the specialist is con-
stantly growing, and the number of
ciphers on the end OF checks In pay
ment of services rendered continues
to extend.
h Only lately George B. Wickersham,
now attorney general Of the United
States, represented the Chicago Trac-
ton company in the vitality important
suits against the city of Chicago.
\ In return for the work he did in that
case, Mr.. Wickersham received the
enormous sum of 100000, one-fifth Of
million, which only couple Of
! decades ago was regarded as the high
water mark Of a plutocrat's belong
ings

important assignment of patching up
the differences between Andrew Car

quarrel between them threatened to
disrupt the entire steel industry.

OOO. Quarles, Spencer and Quarles
valued their services in behalf of the
proponents at $15O,OO0, and in addi-
tlon to these. there were several other
bills ranging downwards from $50 900
TO modest little fee of $4,000.
When Joseph H. Choate, afterwards
to be United States ambassador to-
Great Britain, delivered his argument
before the supreme court of the United
States against the constitutionality of
the income tax, he dealt with a sub
ject which he knew well, and which
being purely one of Interpretation Of
the Constitution required no great
amount of preparation. But this one
piece of work netted him the sum of
100000, and from the standpoint of
his clients was money we'll spent
since it resulted in the declaring of
the law unconstitutional.

and the reconciliation was conceded
to represent the work of virtual ge-

Gets 100000 Fee.
The price paid was in proportion.
Mr. Dill got $1,000,000, conceded to be
the highest fee paid to lawyer in
the history of American jurisprudence.
The nearest approach is said to
have been the 100000, which went
to William d. Guthrie for breaking the
will of Henry B. Plant.
But the two cases handled by Dill
and Guthrie were complicated, and
called for long and careful work. If
the amount of labor put upon them
be compared with what Elihu Root
did in the settlement of the legal ques-
lions following the death of Russell
Sage, 1t will probably be found that
for the amount of services rendered
Mr.. Root was far better paid than
either of his brother counsellers.
Naturally the settlement of an es-
tate as big as that of Mr. Sage want
ed to do justice to all who had claims
but she was equally anxious to avoid
long delays and vexations.
Therefore she summoned her adj
wiser, and ordered him to retain Mr..
Root.
The noted New Yorker was at that
time secretary of war. He explained
to Mrs. Sage's adviser that he was
too much engrossed in the duties of
state to have time for private prac-
tice, and that he would have to de-
cline the case. But the advisor was
persistent, and told that he had Or
ders to get Mr.. Root. In the expecta-
ton that by charging what he thought
an exorbitant fee he would get rid of
the case, Mr.. Root set $25O,OOO as the
only possible price at which he could

day who fell in battle was General
John F. Reynolds. The superb cav
airy officer, General Winfield Scott
Hancock, who galloped to the front
at the first sound of battle, and who
was the right-hand of General George
u. Meade until on the third day he
fell wounded, was another son Of the
Keystone state. Meade himself was a
Pennsylvania.
The first regiment to fire a shot
was the seth Pennsylvania infantry
and the first brigade to distinguish
itself was Roy Stones, still Pennsyl-
vanians.

fighting when the Union forces ,out-

Root Gets $25o,oo0 for Two Days.
The secretary then went into the
case. 1t took him just forty-eight
hours to do the business, he was re-
quired to hire no additional aid, and
he never had to 60 into court at all.
But he cleaned up the whole matter,
swiftly and satisfactorily The money
was paid, and there was an end of the
whole matter.
Working at the rate of $125,OOO per
day certainly gives Mr.. Root a claim
on all the championships for big fees.
1t is known that William Nelson
Cromwell got at least 5000, 900 for sell
ing the Panama canal to the United
States, and it is said by some persons
that his reward was four or five times
that amount, but there is no way to
prove it. Cromwell took his life in
his hands to earn this sum, for he
was taken ill while the negotiations
were on, and in a most critical period
was confined with temperature of
103.
Learning that the deal might fall
through unless he got on the job, Mr..
Cromwell rose, went to the office of
Secretary Hay, stayed with him an
hour, completed the business, and
went home, barely succeeding in win
ming out six weeks battle with ty-,
phoid.
But for 100000, let alone how much
more it may have been, most persons
will be inclined to think that the risk
was worth WHILE
But this wasn't the only big fee to
the credit of Mr.. Cromwell. For re-
organizing the firm of Decker, Howell
& co. Cromwell was paid $260,OOO
The attorneys who forced the gov
eminent after a lon gdispute to pay
the long deferred claims of the Chero-
kee Indians, fifteen millions in all,
were allowed Is per cent of the total,
nearly $750,0OO. 1t is said that the
greater part of this went to one firm.
Piles Earns $450,oO0 in One Case.
A court decision recently granted at
Seattle, Wash, opened the way for
another huge fee. Senator S. H. Piles,
by winning for his clients the famous
John Sullivan will case, gained a fee
Of $450,000, for in advance the heirs
gave him deeds of conveyance for one
half of the total, provided they should
win.
1t has never been contradicted that
for his share in the Thaw case, Mi
chael Delphine Delmas received $780,
900, which seems fairly expensive
