Henry Lewis Stimson, the junior men,
Der of President Tafts ca binet, is forty
four years old today. In May last he was
appointed Secretary of War and is now
in the west inspecting military posts. He
was graduated from Yale University in
1883 and then took a course in the law
department. of Harvard University. In
1890 he entered the law office Of Root 6,
Clark of New York and subsequently, be-
came member of that firm, of which
Senator Elihu Root was the head. Six
years later he was appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt as United States attorney
for the southern district Of New York
and made a national reputation by his
successful prosecution of the New YORK
Sugar Refining Company and the New
York Central Railroad Company. As a
result of his work the general govern
ment recovered more than $2Wo.OO0 in
duties from the sugar trust and nearly
pany. His ability in those cases attract
ed the personal attention OF President
Taft and led to his selection for the war
portfolio on the retirement of Secretary
Dickinson last spring.
In 1893 Secretary Stfmson was married
to Miss Mabel W. White, daughter OF
Charles A. White of New Haven, Conn,
and the two spent the past summer in

steel mounted to 62ls and the pre-
ferred to 101ig, but the market was
feverish AT the rally and the gains in
the railroad stocks were Cancelled. The
United states Steel stocks fiuctuated
frequently within a radius of a point
but the undertone in general was mucn
improved at II o'clock.
The slump in United States Steel yes
terday and reports that voluntary dis
solution of the corporation was con-
templated resulted in the receipt OF
selling orders from all parts of the
country. and prices gave way rapidly
The weakness of these issues extended
10 the remainder of the list, but sup
porting orders were given to prevent
democrat liza ton. and the railroad shares
were relatively steady. Trading In
the steel stocks dominated the market
