MRS. HETTY GREEN ON
MEANS OF LONGEVITY.

New York, Nov. 23.-Plenty of hard
work, a good conscience, a good appe-
tite and a good will-this is the pre-
sCription for longevity recommended
by Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest wo-
man in the world, who was II years
Old today, an occasion which she cele-
brdted by working hard and giving
an interview.
Mrs. Green arose this morning at
G:3O o'clock and, in her own language,

cook had it ready" walked over to
Broadway from Fifth avenue and
wearing the familiar black dress and

trolley car, and at GAS o'clock arrived
at the National Park Bank for two
hours work. At IL o'clock she was
found in her office on the sixth floor
of No. Ill Broadway, with her son
Col. Green, who had just presented
her with a black handbag, one which
she can carry over her wrist, to take
the place of the old-style bag she
has carried for the last half-century.

Like those who concentrate their re-

A MILLIONAIRE TOO
BUSY FOR HONORS.

Popular rumor here has always
been inclined to ascribe an ambition
for the American Ambassadorship at
Berlin to Cornelius Vanderbilt, owing
to the warm regard in which both he
and his wife are held by the Kaiser,
the Kaiserin, and other members Of
the reigning house of Prussia. There
is little doubt that Cornelius Wander
bilt could have had the office had he
really wanted it, and he would have
been assured beforehand of a warm
and cordial welcome at Berlin. But
he has never been a candidate for the
post and would not accept it if offer
ed, for the simple reason that he is
engaged in many large and important
business enterprises that demand his
presence in this country Despoiled of
the larger part of his inheritance
through his fathers will, Cornelius
Vanderbilt is quietly making a great
fortune for himself in the financial
district of New York, where he is de-
veloping into one of the great mag
mates who have to be regarded as a
factor in every important enterprise.
In one word, Cornelius Vanderbilt, as
a captain of finance and industry and
as the most useful citizen of his fami-
ly, is rapidly amassing a fortune to
take the place of that of which he
was, although the eldest son, deprived
by his fathers will. He would be
obliged to sacrifice all these monetary
and industrial interests which now
monopolize his attention, were he to
spend several years abroad as Ameri
can Ambassador. and it would he a
sacrifice greater than either he OF
his clever wife can afford to make

President of the Frisco
Talks OF Improvements

Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 23.-B. L.
Winchell, president of the Frisco rail-
road, who was here yesterday, accom-
panied by B. F. Yoakum, chairman of
the board of directors, and other Of
ficials of the railroad, announced that
the company had perfected plans by
which they would have complete line
from Chicago on the Great Lakes, to
Mobile, on the Gulf of Mexico.
Mr.. Winchell said the line was in
anticipation of the tremendous traffic
expected to develop through this dis
trict at the opening of the Panama
Canal. President Winchell stated that
the exact route of the different links of
the line could not be determined until
the engineers had actually surveyed
the ground. He said that the Frisco
would have one of the best and prob
ably the most direct lines in existence
from the Great Lakes to the Gulf.
The Frisco company has purchased
the New Orleans, Mobile and Chicago
railroad and the Chicago and East
ern Illinoins railroad. The route will
be the Chicago and Eastern Illinois
line to Joppa, new line will be con.
structed from Joppa to Caruthers
Vile, Mo-, a comparatively short dis
| lance, and there will connect with the
New Orleans, Mobile and Chicago
railroad and the direct line from
Chicago to Mobile will be complete.
Mr.. Winchell said that the com
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-11-23

pany would greatly improve the ply
steal condition of the New Orleans,
Mobile and Chicago line, and that the
system when complete would be one
of the best rairload routes in the
country
1.-THE work will be done as soon as
possible" stated Mr.. Winchell, land
we expect to have the entire line
working like clock year or so be-
fore the great canal is opened. The
developments by my company are due
to the great prosperity which is bound
to sweep over the South when the
Panama canal is opened.
81 believe the South will be like a
new country in a few years from now,
and the policy of the Frisco railroad,
as every one knows, is to develop its
system in the South just as fast as it
can possibly be done"
Mr.. Winchell refused to commit
himself upon what improvements, if
any, the company would make in dock
and terminal properties in Mobile. He
said that the development had not
progressed far enough as yet for any
announcements of the company's
plans in that line. Chairman Yoa
KUN, of the party, announced that 6
visit would be paid to the New Or
leans, Mobile and Chicago propertie!
within the next few days. He added
that the trip South was largely 70
the purpose of inspecting the nev
properties acquired several days ago.

orous old age, she said:
First, possess a good conscience;
second, a good appetite for good,

Mrs. Green chuckled as she united
her bonnet strings and said:
"Why, have just saved one Of the
most expensive funerals in New York.
This person I cured, as I have many
others, simply by getting her interest
ed in life again.

VARDAMAN Will
ACCEPT SERVICE
Senator-Elect Will Make Necessary
Arrangements To Aid
The Suit.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 23.-Tt was
learned today that one of the lawyers
in the case in which suit is brought
against Governor Vardaman, Jointly
with the defunct Mississippi Bank and
Trust Company, by Attorney General
Hudson and other counsel employed
for the purpose, attempted to get the
sheriff of Kinds county, Colonel R. ].
Harding, to serve the subpoena on
Mrs. Vardaman, in the absence Of her
husband, who is absent in the North
on a lecture tour.
Colonel Harding, who Is a Confed-
crate veteran, was very loath to serve
the process upon Mrs. Vardaman,
reasoning with the lawyer that 1t
would only have the effect of annoy
ing Mrs. Vardaman with a matter
she could not understand, and that
he would see that the process was
served before the return day. The
lawyer, 1t is said, insisted that Or
ders from headquarters were that the
process was to be served Immediately,
but finally the sheriff convinced him
that no good would be gained by
worrying Mrs. Vardaman with a sub
poena for her husband, and he gave
a reluctant assent to the sherif"s
proposition to hold up the service Of
the process until Governor Varda-
mans return to the city, on Deem
Der 1.
1t is stated by the friends of Major
Vardaman that he will accept service;
that an unbiased and competent &C.
countant will at once be employed to
go over the books, and that Major
Vardaman has a mass of personal
data, which he would place at the dis
posal of the accountant and afford
him every help possible in explaining
any apparent discrepancies. This he

Moore, for the reason that he believed
Moore was employed by unfriendly in
terests and was partisan against him
in the matter.
With an accountant who is not hos
tile nor employed by interests antag-
onistic friends of Major Vardaman
say, there will be no trouble in ex-
planning any discrepancies.
The suit will be vigorously resisted,
Watkins & Watkins, Of the Jackson
bar, having been retained already by
friends of Major vardaman, and other
eminent counsel will be associated
with them.
In this connection, It may be inter
esting to know Just what Accountant
Moore has been paid for his work.
He was employed by the joint inves.
tigating committee of the late legisla.
ture at the close Of the caucus and
came near being forgotten in the last
go-around, when the contingent fund
of both houses was increased at the
last minute, and senate contingent
warrant No. 632, for $610.75, and
house warrant No. 633, for $425.57, a
total of $1,036.32, were issued to him
