SWELL BALLS
Bring THREATS
Of DEATH
TO LAVISH SPENDERS
MOrgan's Partner Spends

TO LAVISH SPEI

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 1.-The series
Of lavish entertainments planned by
Mrs. Edward t. Stotesbury, wife of a
partner of j. Pierpont Morkan. may
be brought to sudden end as a result
of numerous letters received by Mr..
and Mrs. Stotesbury, some of them 60
ing so far as to make threats against
the lives of the widely known financier
and his bride if they, do not cease
spending small fortunes on their mag
niticent dances and dinners.
Mrs. Stotesbury had planned to give
a series of six balls-something that
would Guido anything that ever has
been attempted along that line in
Philadelphia. She has given two of
them. After the first reports were
published in Philadelphia and in other
cities to the effect that the Stotesbury's
had spent half a million dollars for
the elaborate function which was Civ
en- at the Bellevue-Stratford 1t is now
said that the ball did not cost more
than one-tenth of that sum and the
second, given at the Ritz-Carlton did
not cost nearly as much as the first.
Following the second ball. Mrs.
Stotesbury began to receive the threat
ening letters. Several of them were
mailed in the mill section of Philadel-
phia, where daily newspaper with
socialistic tendencies has some circula-
ton.
This newspaper attacked the Stotes-
bury's editorially for the lavish expen-
diture and called the attention of the
mill-workers to the fact that they were
paying for the affairs every time they
paid nickel to the local traction com
pany for a ride. Mr. Stotesbury owns
a large interest in the local traction
corporation.
While neither Mr.. or Mrs. Stotesbury
will discuss the letters, it is known
that some of them were very fiery, and
the close friends of the ffnancier and
his wife advised that they hire body
guards to protect them from violence
while on the streets, They both laugh
ed at this suggestion, but Mrs. Stotes-
bury showed that she is worried by
the attacks by making a personal APP
peal to some of the local society ed
itors that, for time at least, her
name be kept out of the society col
umns and that nothing be said about
her entertainments.
She also has given strict instruc-
tons at both the Believes tratford
and the Ritz-Carlton that no informa-
ton shall be given at either hotel re-
garding her coming or going.
Last Thursday Mrs. Stotesbury gave
a small and exclusive party at her
home, there being but eight guests, but
not line regarding the affair found
its way into any newspaper.
Mrs. Stotesbury also takes exception
to the manner in which she has been
attacked from the pulpit While she
will not discus this for publication, she
has told her friends that she thought
certain clergymen would be in better
business if they would think of just q
little of the good Mr. Stotesbury has
done the poor of Philadelphia and
weigh the good against the expendi-
lures of their private affairs.
The Stotesburys have been planning
to take trip to Bermuda about Feb
urary. Unless the threatening letters
cease this trip may be postponed.
