PROVIDING WORK

Says Big and Jovial Heir OF
the Richest Woman,
Mrs. Hetty Green.

New York, Jan. 30.-Edwin II. r.
Green, the big son of the richest wo-
man in the world, who has come to
New York to become the active man.
ager of his mothers vast interests.
has conceived a big idea concerning
the handling of those interests. This
was brought out during an interview
with the jovial ex-Texan.
Colonel" sand the reporter. your
mothers wealth Is estimated at up
ward of 100000. 900. Now. statisti-
clans tell that wealth which is being
constantly loaned out and turned over
and invested in enterprises such as
the Green fortune is concerned in
earns a maximum rate of 10 per cent
a year. Thus your 500, 100000 of to-
day soon becomes 100000. 900 or
$4OO, 100000. Now. arn't you afraid
this almost Uncomfortable amount OF
wealth centralized in one persons
hands will throttle competition and
threaten the economic independence
of the country"
Green Not Afraid.
mo, I believe that my own and my
mothers fortune under our manipula-
ton will become a positive source
of good for the whole country" he
said. 1T is true that it will increase
in amount-perhaps in the proportion
you suggest. But this wealth will ben.
eft the whole country. 1t is a well
known axiom in economics that the
creation of new wealth benefits every.
body. 1t is like making corn grow in
arid spots. ! might compare wealth
that is out working creating new
wealth to the loan deposited by the
Nile which enriches the whole terri
tory through which the river flows.
81 might endow charities or bestow
millions upon various philanthropies
But I have learned that inherited
wealth Is put to it's best use when il
creates the greatest number of life
jobs rather than when it satisfies the
hunger of day. 1t is true that this
"C0Ath VI "lA OCACuC 40 "ACA
we create new wealth with it, but il
will also vastly benefit thousands
upon thousands of other Americans.
II employ several thousand men
upon my properties in Texas alone
all benenciaries of the life job theory
We have also properties in other
parts of the country-mines and mill
and manufactures, and stocks and
bonds in every railroad in the coun
try. l suppose we have large-sized
hand in individual businesses that EN-
ploy perhaps 100000 men. This means
that 100000 people-the men and
their families-are earning livings
partly through our management.
Nov. suppose that this wealth
should be swept away. Don't you see
that not only two individuals, myself
and my mother, would be ruined, but
also thousands of others.
II have learned that it is only wher
money is stored and boarded away
that 1t becomes dangerous. Then il
is liable to upset our financial system
and overturn our currency.
II believe, and my mother agrees
with me, that to give a man job fol

0ERA|LED TRAIN
RAN OVER HIM
p.v smaIIlna Of Hamilton, Switch
man Working for Water Power
Company, Was Killed
This Morning.
HAD A PERILoUs SEAT.
swltchnan Was Riding on Coupling of
Forward Car and Nothing
Could Save Him When
Car Derailed.

The eighth Water Power fatality
since May occurred this morning on
the Illinois Division when Ray Small
Ing switchman, whose home Is in
Hamilton. was thrown in front of the
wheels of lastly moving train as it
derailed and was so badly injured
that he died shortly after being taken
10 the hospital He was thirty-four
years old
The company attributes Smalling's
death to his own negligence and Chief
Engineer Cooper gave out a statement
today regarding the accident. The in
iured man had little hopes of recov-
ery. One leg was cut off. the other
badly mangled and his chest SO crush
ed as to cause internal injuries.
At the time of the derailment Small
ing was riding on the coupling pin of
the forward car of two-car train
which was going down what is known
as the hill on the Hamilton Division.
What caused the derailment is not
known.
Cooper's Statement.
In speaking of the accident Engi-
neer Cooper gave the details as fol-
lows. THE track over which the
train was running is now and has
been in perfect condition for some
time past. During the last two days,
on account of the high water we have
been working surplus men putting the
track in good condition. Two ordinary
trains of three cars each, carrying
dirt, had just passed over the tracks
successfully.
'All of the train crews are eau.
toned to run slow over this hill and
the track is protected from top to
bottom with green flags, calling for
slow movement.
THE train ON which Smalling was
consisted of only two cars and for
some reason unknown he was riding
the coupling ON the forward end OF
the train, when he should have been
on the top of the car where he could
have seen his engineer and signalled
in case of difficulty.
THE train was running especially
fast by the trainmen of another crew
and an examination of the forward
car shows that the air brakes were
working in good condition.
Regret Accident.
"Of course we greatly regret this
accident" continued Mr., Cooper But
was running at high rate of speed
and why Smalling was riding on the
coupling. The engineer who was run
ming the car has been discharged"
Smalling has worked for the Water
Power Company for about a year. Hi

was married and leaves two children
