MRS. HETTY GREEN, WORLDS
RICHEST WOMAN, dies AT so

New York = Mrs. Hetty Green
known as the worlds wealthiest wo
man, whose fortune is estimated al
high as $1O0, 0O0, 900, died here Mon
day, aged 80 years. She had suffered
three strokes of paralysis in the last
two months and for..several.i .iweekslhad
been practically helpless.
Her death occurred at 8:O5 o'clock
at the home of her son, Colonel Ed
ward H. R. Green, adjoining the plain
brick four-story house on the corner of
Central Park West, where Mrs. Green
had lived lately in seclusion, except
for her son and several Japanese serv-
ants and trained nurses.
Wall streets estimates of Mrs.
Green's fortune range from 500, 000,- :
OOG to 100000, 900. Officials of the
Chemical National bank, in which Mrs.
Green once made her downtown head
quarters, declined to hazard guess
concerning the size of her estate.
Hetty Green was the worlds most
mistress of finance. The
richest woman in America, she lived
almost as frugally as shop-girl. Her
home was wherever she chose for a
time to hang her little black crepe and
bonnet, often in the hall bedroom of
some cheap boarding house or in some
remote and modest fiat around New
York.
Mrs. Green's eccentric extremes of
economy led to the popular misconcep-
tion of her as "self-made woman.
As matter of fact she was born rich.
In 1865 she inherited some $40, 0,000,-
900, which accumulated upon itself
until in so years it had multiplied
nearly ten times. She also inherited
family traditions which had been a
pride for three centuries, and which
she was anxious to perpetuate in her
children.

A Loyal Witness.

When Senator John w. Kern was a
young lawyer at Kokomo, Ind, he rep.
resented one side of case in which
the whole controversy hinged on the
identity and ownership of. certain
calf.
The chief witness on the side
against Kern was colored man. He
contended that the calf belonged to
his friend, Mr.. Jones. When Kern ex-
amined him the conversation ran
something like this:
How do you know this was Mr..
Jones calf?"
"Well, sab, I had seen it around his
place so much that jes' naturally got
acquainted with it. l seen it there
with the cow-its maw-and l noticed
it p'ticuly because it had funny marks
on it. When you see calf ev'ry day
you simply become familyah with it."
"What kind of looking calf was
it?"
at was a red calf, sab, with white
ears and white nose"
'And it belonged to Mr.. Jones?"
"Yessah."
F'Now suppose that all the testimony
here should show that the calf in this
case was white calf with red ears
and red nose. What would you say
about that?"

Blame for Recent Irish Uprising
Placed by Royal Commission

London - The Royal commission
which investigated the Irish rebellion
in it's report submitted Tuesday says
the responsibility for the outbreak
does not rest with Baron Wimborne,
the lord lieutenant, since resigned,
who is declared to have been in no way
answerable for the policy of the gov
ernment.
The chief secretary for Ireland, Au-
gustine Birrell, who resigned shortly
after the suppression of the outbreak,
was primarily responsible, say the re-
port.
The Royal commission was presided
over by Baron Hardings. Outlining
the causes of the outbreak in Ireland,
the report says:
1.-THE fact should be borne in mind
that there is always section of opin-
ion in that country bitterly opposed to
British connection and that in times
of excitement this section can impose
its sentiments on largely increased
numbers of the people.
The report points out that it is out
side the scope of the commissions in
structions to inquire how far the policy
of the Irish executive was adpoted by
the cabinet, or to attach responsibility
to any but the civil and military exec
utive in Ireland. The report then
gives these conclusions:
"That the main cause of the rebel
lion appears to be that lawlessness
was allowed to grow up unchecked and
that Ireland for several years had been
administered on the principle that it
was safer and more expedient to leave
the law in allegiance if collision with
any faction of the Irish people could
therefore be avoided"
The importation of large quantities
of arms into Ireland and the liberation
of drilling by large bodies of men, the
report says, created conditions which
rendered possible the recent troubles
in Dublin and elsewhere.
"It appears to us, said the commits
sloners, that reluctance was SHOWN
by the Irish government to repress by
prosecution written and spoken utter
ances and to suppress drilling and
maneuvering of armed forces known to
be under control of men who openly
were declaring their hostility to your
government.
"There developed widespread belief
that no repressive measures would be
undertaken by the government against
sedition.
"This led to rapid increase of
for insurrection and was
the immediate cruise of the recent out
break. We are of the opinion that on
the outbreak of the war all drilling
and maneuvering by unrecognized bod
les of men, whether armed or un-
armed, should have been strictly pro-
hibited."

Pause for Peace is Urged.

Stockholm--The neutral conference
for continuous mediation has decided
to request all neutral nations in the
world to hold peace demonstrations on
August 1, the anniversary of the be-
ginning of the war, to express sym
pathy with the suffering peoples of the
belligerent nations and to plead with
them not to carry the war through an
other winter. The conference suggests
public meetings, street parades, pag-
eants, and church services, but par
ticularly urges five-minute pause
throughout the neutral world.

The War Children of Paris.

How beautiful they are, the war
children! How well cared for, how
thriving, and how showered with love!
Their prolonged siestas in the Bois or
in the gardens have freshened the
bloom of their cheeks. Their immacu-
late observation-disclosures seems to tes-
tify to the girl mothers loving care of
the now sovereign baby who for two
years has had no rival. The mothers
entire time is devoted to His Majesty,
the baby, nor is he ever forgotten ex-
cept occasionally when her thoughts
wandering to the absent one, she
traces in the baby's dimpled face the
sometimes fugitive, sometimes strik-
ing resemblance to his soldier-father.
Sacred moments these when in the
twilight the curly head and downy
cheek resolve themselves into the pale
or sunburnt features of one some
