Worlds Wealthiest Woman
Dies After Third Par

HELPLESS AT DEATH
Unable to Aid Herself for
Past Two Months-She
Leaves Two Children.

WORLDS WedIthIeSt woman, dle0
here today. She had suffered
three strokes of paralysis during
the past two months and for the
last two weeks had been practi-
calIy helpless. Her death occurred
at s :O5 O'Clock at the home of her
son, Colonel Edward I'll. R. Green,
at No. ) West Ninetieth street, adj
joining the plain brick fOur-stOry
house at No. z on the corner of
Central park west. where Mrs.
Green had lived lately in seclu-
sion. except for her son and sew
eral Japanese servants and trained
nurses.
For several weeks past Mrs. Green
had been unable to walk ana had spent
practically all of her time in a wheel
chair. The nurses occasionally lifted
her into her automobile, where,
propped up by pillows and protected
by furs, she enjoyed few afternoons
in the park Most Of the time, how
ever. she sat in the wheel chair at one
of the front windows on the parlor
floor of her house and gazed out over
the park. motionleSs for hours at a
time.
- ffer~5Un Gefonet@Green, and her
daughter, Mrs. Mathews Astor Wilkes,
who were the only children, had been
with her much of the time and it was
recently reported that Mrs. Green had
turned over all of her financial affairs
to her sons charge.
S20,OOO,OO0 to S16O,O0O,000.
Wall streets estimates of Mrs
Green's fortune range from s20,000,000
to 500 00O,0 900. Officials of the Chemi-
cal National bank, in which Mrs. Green
once made her downtown headquar-
tiers, declined to guess the size of her
estate. Until a few years ago Mrs.
Green was a familiar figure in the
financial district but of late her ap-
pearance there had been infreQuent.
1t is believed a considerable bit of her
money was invested in first mortgages
and high class railway bonds, although
she was said at one time to have large
sums invested in shares of the smaller
southern and southwestern railways,
including several in which her son was
actively identified. Mrs. Green was
also the reputed owner of large tracts
of land in Texas, Alabama and other
southern states, but it is thought that
she sold the last of these holdings a
few years ago.
Children at Bedside.
,
were at their mothers bedside when
she died. Notwithstanding that she
had suffered paralytic strokes, the
most serious of which occurred a week
ago last Thursday, the end was rath-
er sudden. for yesterday Mrs. Green
seemed in better spirits than for some
time.
Last night, however, a grave relapse
occurred and Colonel Green sum-
moned the family physician, DR.. H.
Nc NJ. Painter. During the night MIS-.
Green became unconscious at inter
walls and the end came during one of
these periods. Mrs. Green's body will
be taken tomorrow to Bellows Falls,

eral services will be held there at
80 o'clock Wednesday in the church

meeting OF the stata committee II for
the purpose of making regular the ac-
ton of a minority OF the committee
which met here on Feb. IL, and at
tempted to transact the committees
business. The legality Of the minority
action in face of the fact no general
call was issued by the state chairman
for a committee meeting and absent
committeeman were not represented by
proxies, to transact the committees
business was raised. It was serious
issue which the state chairman real
lied later. He decided to remove the
cloud by reconvening the committee.
He may declare the Saturday meeting
an open one as did the Democrats this
week.
protest was also raised over cut
ting down the representation in the
next state convention by the minority
Of the committee. At the convention
four years ago. each county was given
five times the number OF delegates
that it had members in the legisla-
ture. The minority committees action
, reduced this representation to two
times the number OF members in the
legislature. 1t is very probable that
at the committee meeting Saturday
the representation will be raised back
to at least five or six.
Want Party Primary.
An insistent demand has also been
| made since the minority's action for
a party primary The minority left it
optional to the county committee to
determine how delegates to the state
convention shall be selected. Many OF
the party leaders believe that the COM
mittee should declare for party pri-
maries at least in the larger counties,
to. prevent the hand picking of dele
gates. II is believed the state commit
, tee at its meeting Saturday will profit
by the action Of the Democratic state
| committee which turned down the pri-
mary and thereby avoid a conflict
within the party.
Regarding the election Of delegates
and the action Of the state committee
the Post, Idaho Falls, issued this
warning i it's recent issue
1T is said that at the February
meeting of the Republican state cen
trail committee, at Boise, the sugges-
Ltion was made that the county central
committee be allowed to select dele
gates to the state convention, to be
ncld ut Twin Falls. This suggestion Is
along the line Of old party machine
politics, method of throttling the
will of the people and is furthermore
vicious and wrong. Let the people
y rule.
/ The party getting the closest to the
\ people is the party who should and
/ viii get the peoples vote. This is nc
slam on the county central committees
but in line with the idea of primaries
IT is the prerogative of every voter
TO have say as to who should repre-
sent him at the state convention Fol

mittecmen to he allowed to make this
selection, and it will be done b. a few
