ton Hotel last night, will be carried to
New York on the Baltic tomorrow.
Almost nobody in London knew Of the
financers sudden death until the news
(Which had been cabled by his personal
secretary late last night was cabled
back here to-day.
The news was entirely suppressed at
the Carlton, and an American news
paper correspondent who called at the
hotel at $50 o'clock last evening ex-
pecting to get an interview with Mr..
Brady was told by the reception clerk
that Mr.. Brady was unable TO see him.
AS matter of fact the New York man
was already dead.
There was n big ball that night in the
hotel. and the management was not
anxious for the news Of the death to
spread. This afternoon before the news
reached here, American correspondents
trying to see Mr.. Brady were again
told that he was not at the hotel.
Mr.. Brady, with Louis Sherry and
private secretary, arrived on the Kaiser
Wilhelm on Monday, having been III
during most OF the voyage, but seeming
in good health at times. He was out
in the street yesterday afternoon, but
s,f ttHtf -
angina pectoris about o'clock. and Dr.
John y. Dauber. Of Hertford street,
was called In. Another doctor was
summoned in consultation and oxygen
was used, but the patient never re-
viyed.
The body was taken 10 the Mortuary
Chapel for service to-day. and will be
removed thence to Liverpool, where it
will be put aboard the Baltic. Friends
say Mr.. Brady never recovered from
the shock occasioned him when his
daughter. Mrs. Palmer Gavit, and
others were killed In the Westport
wreck last October
News OF the death Of Anthony y.
Brady In London on Tuesday night
which was published in a late edition Of
The Tribune yesterday, came a. a shock
TO his friends and business associates in
the financial district. but it's effect on
the stock market was practically neglig-
ble Like j. +. Morgan and other prom
nent nnanclers who have died in recent
"a. bptQa n
order and saw 10 IL that his business
interests were left in competent hands.
T. S. Willlams's Tribute.
There were some disturbing rumors
early in the day that the elimination Of
Mr. Brady's personality from the man
agemont Of the proposed dual subway
system might result In some changes
but IL was officially stated by 7. ).
Williams. president Of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company. that all the
necessary arrangements for the building
OF the new lines had been completed
before his departure for Europe, nine
DAYS ago. Mr.. Williams paid a generous
tribute TO Mr.. Brady, who. among his
many other activities, was the chairman
Of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
board Of directors and stated that the
Brooklyn transportation systems owe
their rapid development Of recent years
largely to the dead fnancier's construc-
tive genius.
Mr.. Brady was in many respects very
unusual man." said Mr.. Williams. His
success was due primarily not TO good
fortune but to his great abilities. His
ANALYSIS of a financial situation was al
ways his own and not somebody else's.
He had untiring persistence and strong
determination. His word could always be
absolutely relied upon.
Personally he was very unassuming'
modest. OF kindly instincts and loyal to
his friends. Brooklyn particularly owes
n great Obligation to Mr.. Brady. or all
the mon identified with Brooklyn's trans
portation needs. TO none Is Brooklyn In
debted so much as to him for the husi-
ness interest which has already resulted
in the expenditure of about 100000 In
the development Of Brooklyns railroads
and in the provision for an additional ex-
penditure Of possibly 100000. Mr..
Brady never lost faith in the railroad
properties here. and II was through his
efforts principally that the large amount
of capital required under the recent sub
way agreement was provided.
Fortunately for Brooklyn, all the nee
cssary financing Of our part Of the dual
system was completed long prior 10 his
death, and he lived not only TO see his
hopes and faith I'm the properties just-
fed but to feel that they were established
upon a secure basis where their oppor-
tunities for service will be almost unlim-
ited."
Won Through Patience.
Another tribute was paid to Mr.. Brady
by George w. Dawson, vice president Of
the Central Trust Company. through
which much of the b. r. T. financing has
been engineered. He said: Mr.. Brady
won his position through patience, perse-
verance and loyalty. He never made a
bargain, either good or bad, to which he
did not stick, ard whenever he took hold
o. something, he did not let go until he
had made it a success. That was the way
rlost OF his fortune was made, by taking
charge OF properties that no one else
thought Of much value and developing
them until they yielded big incomes.
MIR Brady was very much interested
in Brooklyn, and II Is safe to say that
but for him there never would have been
any such subway plans as the present, ~
which Brooklynites are tn be carried TO
5sth street for a single fare. Brooklyn
owes him great deal Mr.. Brady was
not ostentatious In his manner He was
