RISE OF FRITZ A. HEINZE
WAS MOST SPECTACULAR.
From Mining Engineer to Inner Circles
of High Finance.

OF the lives of American masters OF
millions the comparatively short one
OF Fritz Augustus Heinze. who died in
Saratoga Springs, n. Y, is the most
picturesque in the swiftness OF his rise
from a mining engineer at 50 day In
the west to a millionaire mine owner
at twenty-elght and in his thirties an
invader of the inner circles of high
finance I'm the east
His father, German importer, lived
in Pierrepont street, Brooklyn, where
Fritz was born in December, 1860.
When very young he was sent to
schools in Germany. Fritz returned
when he was fifteen.
From the Brooklyn polytechnic he
went to Columbia university, from
which he graduated In 1899 as an en-
gineer. He went TO Butte, Mont, and
Job with the Boston and Montana
company at So day
He came east TO receive a legacy OF
$4,000 left by his grandmother. He
tried TO induce his brothers, Otto and
Arthur, lawyers, TO go west with him.
Arthur accepted the offer.
With his $4,000 HeinZe leased the
Estrella claim in Butte from James ~
Murray and built small smelter. With
S225, ,OOO profit taken from the Estrella
mine he got control of the Rarus mine
and later Of the Glengarry mine. Then
he built big smelter. He invaded Brit
ish Columbia and built smelter and
n narrow gauge railroad. He became
so important that the Canadian Pacific
railroad paid him, then twenty-eight
years old, S1.2O0,OOO for his railroad.
He established his brothers in the
Stock Exchange firm OF Otto 9.
| HeinZe & Co., bought control Of the
Mercantile National bank from Edwin
| Gould and became its president In
October. 1907, when all the bankers
were outstanding their resources
against an impending storm Heinze
tried TO corner United Copper stock
The result was the wreck Of his broth
ers' firm, and Heinze was forced by
the Clearing House association 10 re
sign the presidency of the Mercantile
National bank.
Heinze married on Aug. 81. 1910, ar
actress. Mrs. Bernice Golden Hender
son. fifteen years his junior and former
wife of Charles a. Henderson. who
paid her 500 week alimony. In 1911
+. Augustus Heinze, Jr.. was born
Eighteen months later Mrs. Heinze OBJ
tained divorce. with alimony of 81.
600 q month. Mrs. Heinze Is dead.

COLLEGE MEN FLAT CHESTED.
Expert Says Indiana Students Don't
Know How to Stand.

One out OF every six men or the
freshmen class of Indiana university Is
defective physically. according to sta
tistlcs made public at Bloomington,
Ind, by DR.. ]. L. Z. Holland, physical
director of the university. He said
this percentage had been fixed after
liberal allowances had been made In
favor of the individual being examin-
ed. Negligence was ascribed as the
cause I'm most of the cases of imperfec-
ton.
Flat chests and fat feet were the
principal defects. DR.. Holland said
that, while he did not approve ciga-
rettes. he did not blame all the fiat
chests to the nicotine habit He at.
tributed the present condition mostly
to the fact that the men did not know
how to stand correctly.
Gymnasium work. designed TO ex'
pand the chests and lift the arches OF
the feet. had been arranged by Dr.
Holland. who said he hoped that most
of the defects would be removed.

WINTER NIGHT

Hail, winter and wild weather,
when we are all together, about
the glowing fire. Let frost be
e'er so singing, it can't disturb
our singing, nor can the Storm
Kings ire. The winds may madly
mosey, they only make more cozy
the home where we abide; the
snow may drift in pillows. but we
have downy pillows. and good
warm beds inside. The night in
deed has terrors for lonely, lost
wayfarers who for assistance call !;
who pray for lights to guide them
the lights that are denied them
may God protect them all! And
to the poor who grovel in wretched
hut and hovel, and feel its icy
breath, who mark the long houi 5
dragging their footsteps slow and
tagging, the night seems kin to
death. For CHEEKY homes be
grateful. when winter. fierce and
fateful, comes shrieking i'll the
night; for books and easy rock
ers, for larders filled and lockers,
and all the warmth and light.

W. H. Babcock Lectures on North
Atlantic Island of Brazil.

THE North Atlantic Island of Brazil
was the subject Of a lecture delivered by
William II. Babcock before a meeting of
the Anthropological Society of Washing
ton at the National Museum yesterday.
BY means of lantern slides the audience
was shown numerous ancient maps
which display an island Of that name
lying in a westerly direction from south
ern Ireland The Gaelic form of the word
"Breasail.'' is an ancient name, having
been borne by saint of the sixty century
as we'll as by a prehistoric figure. As
in the case of Atlantis. the lost CONT
nent," no trace can be found of any such
body of land at present
Mr.. Babcock suggested that this So
called island might have been in real
ity the northeastern corner of North
America placed disproportionately near
to Ireland, and stated that these maps
lend color to the tradition that America
was visited by ancient Irish navigators
long before its discovery by Columbus.
