ADMIRAL MAYO

Rear-Admiral Henry Thomas
Mayo, of the United States navy, who
gained International celebrity by his
demand for a salute from the Huerta,
thorities at Tampico, and thus paw
ed the way for the downfall of, that
dictator, was born in Vermont so
years ago to-day. AS second in COM
mand Of the Atlantic fleet he became
a vice-admiral last year, being the
first to hold that rank under the pro-
visions Of the act which confers the
rank OF admiral upon commanders Of
American fleets, and the rank Of vice.
admiral upon the second in COM
mand, during their term Of service
in such capacities.
It is difficult to believe that Ad-
miral Mayo, like many another high
officer of the worlds navies, began
his service in the days Of wood and
sail, but such is the fact He grad
uated from the Annapolis Naval
40 years ago, and saw SER
vice on the Monocacy, the Tennessee
and the Kearsarge-the latter the
famous old ship which sunk the Con-
federate Alabama off Cherbourg dur
ing the Civil war. Even then the
older vessels of the United States
navy were built Of wood and pro-
PEELED by a combination of steam and
sail-steam not being considered
thoroughly dependable in those days.
The Bridgeport evening farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1866-1917, 1916-12-08

Mayo's early years in the navy were
largely spent in scientific work of
various kinds, including a survey of
the coast of what was then the ter
ritory of Washington. He was an
accomplished scientist in various
branches, but wholly without ex-
perience in warfare, when the war
with Spain broke out. He was then
a lieutenant, and. although he served
on ones Of the battleships, he did
nothing to attract public attention to
himself-being in that respect like
most men who simply do their duty
conscientiously and we'll. He was
still lieutenant at the end of the
war, but he soon attained the rank
Of captain, and in 1905 became a
commander. He was in command of
the Mare Island Navy Yard at the
beginning of the Wilson administra-
ton, but Secretary Daniels made him
his aid for personnel. In 1913 he was
promoted to the rank of rear-ad-
miral, and, as second in command to
Admiral Fletcher, was given the
Connecticut as his flagship. Prior to
the Tampico incident he was practi-
cally unknown to the masses Of the
American people, but that affair
brought him into prominence. Mayo's
order to Huerta to salute the Stars
and Stripes brought to a head the
relations between the WASH
ington and Mexican government, and,
although Huerta didn't accord the
salute that Mayo demanded, he was
forced to step down and out.

THE HOUSE OF BELMONT

It was just hundred years ago to-
day that August Belmont, founder of
the American millionaire house
of Belmont, was born in Alley, Ger
many. He came Of the Jewish fam
lily Of Schonburg, which had long
been prominent in the financial and
commercial. life Of the Rhenish Pala-
innate The clan owned large estates
in that section, and, although Of Jew
fish origin, were highly respected.
Anna Belmont, a cousin of August,
was married to Ludwig Banberger.
who, after years Of exile because Of
his participation in the revolution Of
184S, became an adviser Of Bismarck
in the Franco-Prussian war, and one
Of the leading politicians and econ
omists of the new, empire.
It was in the latter part Of the
eighteenth century that the family
name Of Schonburg was dropped and
THAT Of Belmont substituted. August
Be1mont's parents were, wealthy, but
they did not believe in indulging their
offspring, and at the age Of ii August
was gsapprenticed to the Rothschild's
banking house in Frankfort. His
first duties were to sweep and dust
the counting rooms and offices, and
! to serve in general as an Office boy
and errand runner. He had natural
bent toward figures, and could do
sums sin his head" with great facility
and unfailing accuracy. While still
boy he made himself Invaluable to
his superiors, and he was marked as
coming f1nancier
When he was 20 years old August
was placed in charge Of the Roths-
child branch in Naples. The follow.
ing year he was sent to Havana to
look after the firms interests. His
success in Strengthening out business
there led to his appointment as man
ager Of the American interests of the
Rothschilds, with headquarters in
New York.
The founder Of the American dyn-
asty Of Belmont was no thirty PEN
ny-pincher. He liked to live well and
spend freely, and, in order to add
to his income, he established a bank
ing house of his own. He did not
break off his connection with the
Rothschi1ds, however, and the rela-
lions between the house of Belmont
and the great European financial
dynasty have always been close
In politics the elder Belmont was a
Democrat, and for years he was a
leader in the councils Of that party,
and handed on his partisan aff1lia-
lions to his sons. He was American
consul-general of Austria in 1874,
and minister-residant at The Hague
from 1854 to 1885,. For many years
he was chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, but in 1876 he
withdrew from active participation
in politics.
August Belmont I. married Caro-
line SlideI1 Perry in 1849, and she
gave him six children, four sons and
two daughters. When he died in
1890 his second son and namesake
became the head Of August Belmont
81 Company, and the American repre-
sentative Of the Rothschilds. The
Belmont fortune was estimated at

was a droll recital by an inimita bic
monologuist, as Mr.. Beardsley un-
doubtedly is. Rev. T. J. Lee was in
charge of the literary program for
the evening and introduced President
Barlow of the Yale National bank of
New Haven, who spoke on the Fed
eral Reserve act for over an hour On
the whole he approved of the philos-
ophy and wisdom of this Democratic
achievement,. saying that it will prove
blessing in times of financial stress.

SCISSOR w. B. Glover of Newtown and

100000 at the time of the death
OF the founder Of the house, and it
has since greatly increased. Perry
Belmont, the first born of the foun-
der, has no offspring, and the family
name will be perpetuated solely by
the children and grandchildren Of the
present August Belmont. The eldest
son of the latter, August Belmont
third, is the father of five children,
his eldest son, August Belmont
fourth, having been born in 1909.
The first August Belmont played an
important part in the development
Of the resources of his adopted coun-
try, and was prominent in many pa
triotic projects.

ply, based on the principle of evolu-

ciety, and morals. He proposed a
scheme requiring him to complete IL
volumes in 20 years, but he was 33
years at work on it, and then it had
greatly exceeded the original scope.
