NEW YORK, May %. - Today
excessively stagnant session of the
stock exchange bore the familiar
ante-holiday aspects with an irreg-
ular mixture Of gains or losses. the
former predominating at the close.
Dealings were the lightest and most
contracted OF any day for many
weeks. the output of the noon hour
barely aggregating $4,000 shares.
with a total OF only 265, 200 for the
day.
United States Steel and other
standard shares were hstless most of
the time. but rose briskly with vari-
Gus specialties at the end. Move
ments in other quarters of the list
were seemingly speculative.
The strength and activity of Aiglo-
French and Canadian bond issues
was REGARDED by Wall St as having
some relation to Pres't Wilson'S re-
cent peace address. Total sales of
bonds. par value. amounted to So
43O, 600.
United States bonds were un-
changed on call.

to see his principles universally
adopted.
ConnoiSeur of Art.
In his later life Mr.. Hill was a
great art connoiseur and throughout
his career he found time for extern
sive reading He had a fine collec-
ton Of paintings of the modern
French school.
His charitable gifts were many.
He supported especially Manchester
and Hamline colleges.
His broad mindedness was attested
in St. Paul Theological seminary, an
institution to train men for the Ro-
nan Catholic priesthood. Although
Mr. Hill was not of that religious
faith. he built this school and COM
pletely endowed it at a cost of $500
600.
He married Mary Theresa Mehe-
gan of St. Paul on Aug. 10, 1867,
and was the father of two sons,
James n. and Lewis Hill, and five
daughters Both his sons are now
prominent in the railroad business
Of their father.

as general manager. He became
president in 1888.
Mr.. Hill now proposed a railway
from the great lakes to the Pacific.
Many thought him a visionary. He
paralleled the Northern Pacific,
which had been assisted by the
United States government and the
Canadian Pacific, which had re-
ceived vast grants from Canada.
Builds Great System.
without one cent of state or gov
eminent money the Great Northern
system was constructed. From 1880
to 1893 5000 miles of track were
built and equipped.
1t was built at the rate of nearly
a mile a day for every day of Mr..
Hills control, and extends from lake
Superior TO Puget sound.
In addition Mr.. Hill organized a
fleet on the Pacific and another on
the great lakes as feeders to his
railway. His lake boats surpassed in
speed and size any built before
Mr.. Hill accepted no salary. While
building up fortunes for himself and
other shareholders he created more
than q billion in realty values for
settlers along his line.
Mr.. Hill worked and studied con-
stantly until he was an expert in al
most every phase of the geography,
minerals, water, population and re-
sources of every part of the north
west.
He was singularly felicitous in
dealing with his employers and had
but one serious strike.
r. 1901 with j. Pierpont Morgan
and others, Mr.. Hills Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific rail-
way bought a large share Of the
stock Of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad Co. comprising
nearly 5000 miles Of track.
About the same time Edward II.
Hartman and associates in the
Union Pacific railway acquired a
majority of the stock of the North
ern Pacific.
a fight between the Hartman in
terests and the Hill-Morgan inter-
ests for the purchase of Northern
Pacific common stock in the open
market brought about the panic of
May 9, 1901. when the stock went
10 $1,000 a share.
By exercising a right to retire the
Northern Pacific preferred stock, the
HIll-Morgan group, which controlled
the common, won the fight
Mr.. Hill now organized and be-
came president of the $500, 900. 600
Northern Securities Co, which was
TO take over Great Northern and
Northern Pacific stock of the Hill
Morgan group. and also the Harri-
man holdings in Northern Pacific.
This resulted in federal anti
trust suit. Pres't Roosevelt ordered
the government prosecutors to take
action. The case was taken up TO the
supreme court where, in 1904, the
combination was held illegal. The
Northern Securities Co. 5 stock hold
ings were distributed among the
stockholders.
But the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific continued 10 control
the Burlington and all three roads
prospered. The territory along their
lines developed rapidly.
Mr.. Hill never gave up his work
on account of age. and labored
Faithfully TO the last.
The secret Of his success lay large
Is in his ingenuity in devising' and
adopting standards for railway loca-
ton. construction and operation. He
revoluuOnized the American railway
Industry and brought costs of trans
portation By rail far below the level

Before the opening of the present
season, when styles for it were in prep
aration, some of the famous authorities
in Paris promised that the slim sill
houette would become the fashion
Whereupon the slender woman con-
graduated herself because draperies
were to return to graceful lines and
her slimness was to be emphasized in
stead of being concealed. The plump
woman approved also because she
might hope to convey an appearance
of slenderness in draperies less ample
and outstanding than those of the sum-
mer season.
The transition from bouffant to
straight lines has been rather gradual
and much more apparent in street suits
and afternoon gowns than in evening
clothes. But the slim silhouette is
gaining ground. Skirts are full but
straight hanging. and they are some
what longer. which adds to the appear
ance of height. But women did not
take kindly to much added length in
suits, and skirts now are not much be-
low tho shoetops.
