A NDREW CARNEGIE, multi-mil-
a lionaire steel king, author, scisn-
IA tist and philanthropist, revealed
phases of his character yesterday un-
dreamed of by the average American.
From 1O:30 in the morning, when he
received a half-dozen newspaper men
in his apartments at the Hotel Ray
mond. Pasadena, until 4:90 in the af-
ternoon, when he returned from re-
rnarkable reception rendered by the
Annandale Golf club, San Ratael
heights, he underwent an almost con-
tinuous bombardment of cameras ana
questions, and spoke more freely than
for many years concerning hnnsel'
his achievements, his religious ana po
litical opinions, his life objects ana
the problems of humanity.
81 Millionaires There

$500 900 900. Yet the combined fortunes
Of ffty-six of these men would amount
to hut a small portion of the Wealth
