PILED-UP WEALTH OF MIL
LIONAIRES
MAN is BECOMING A TRADING CENTEF

Kansas City Star: 9 That the
piled-up wealth of the great cap
tains of finance will in time be-
come so huge that all the rest of
the country's population will one
day be dependent upon a few
moneyed kings, is a cry often
raised by demagogues and others,
but the actual facts show that
these vast accumulations soon be-
come widely distributed and lose
practically all of their power with
the second generation
E. Fl. Hartman left fortune
of approximately 100 million dol
lars. Under his will the bulk of
it will be divided among five
children and his widow, with con-
siderable sums going to other re-
latives.
H. H. Rogers, who died last
spring, left also approximately 100
million dollars, and under his will
it goes to four children and his
widow. Already there are nine
grandchildren to share in a furth-
er division.
Russell Sage, who died July %,
1906, was the only great financier
of regent years to die childless. He
left 500, $4,000, and Of this his
widow inherited $63, 778,000. Since
his death Mrs. Sage has spent i'm
mense sums for philanthropic pur-
poses and the bulk of what she
leaves will, on her death, go into
the same channels.
Cornelius Vanderbilt left an es-
tate Of u IL millions, and SO IL
million dollars was divided in diff
ferent proportions among his five
children.
Jay Gould left 72 million dol
lars and it was divided among six
children. George, the eldest son,
received the largest share, and the
other five children equal shares.
All of them, with the exception of
Miss Helen Gould, married, and of
the five who married all have
children except Howard.
Thus, of these five captains of
finance who left All million dol
lars, this great sum has passed, or
will pass, to 20 children, without
counting the widows.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NEWS
ms II Interest to Parents, Teach
ers and Pupils of Pullman's
Schools

The second week of the public
schools closed this evening. Every
thing Is moving as smoothly as if
school had been going on regularly
and the summer vacation had mere
ly been Saturday and Sunday inter
mission between two weeks instead
of three months having elapsed since
school closed last spring. The en-
rollment has reached 528, divided as
follows: High school, III; seventh
and eighth grade, 1913; all other
grades 294. This is about the same
as the second week last year, but is
40 more than the close of the first
month two years ago. AS many of
the older boys are busy on farms or
other work, the enrolment is ex-
pected to show a marked increase
in a short time, when these return
to school
Some miscreants, believed to be
boys of Pullman, broke into the high
school building between Friday night
and Monday morning and stole lot
of property belonging to the pupils.
One boy, VINO was under suspicion,
was caught and confessed and gave
the names of his alleged companions.
He told where the stolen plumber had
been hidden and led the authorities
to one of the warehouses on the o.
r. & N. tracks, where 1t was found.
The other boys implicated in his con-
fession deny that they had anything
to do with it. The officers are on the
watch and are still working on the
case with bright prospects of send
ing several boys to the reform school.

Joseph G Kinney, in advance of
the sheep which are now trailing

that the sheep now trailing are
meeting with heavy losses, through

above Cokevllle, but they have given
up the proposition and will do their
iambing in the vicinity of Fossil,

commencing about May 8. Mr..
Kinney informs us that very few, if
any, of the Cokeyille bands, will
get 10 their regular lambing ground,

not shear until after lambing ard

There has not been a livelier in,
duRtrial fight in Idaho in years than
that being waged at this time be-
tween the sheepmen interested in
the national warehouse movement
and the commission men, says the
Boise Statesman. The latter have
their shrewdest buyers in the field.
The representatives of the ware
house are equally resourceful and
active. Each side is contesting
every point. It is claimed on the
side of the warehouse men that not
over 10 per cent of the wool IN this
territory, west Of Pocateilo, has
been obtained BY the commission
men. That would represent not
over million pounds. On the
other hand, the representatives of

of the 100000 poabds available
in that territory.
