Allied Supreme Council In.
censed BY Occupation
of Budapest.
(By Associated Press. J

PARIS. Aug. 1.-THE peace confer
ence lit became known today is chang
ing entirely its attitude toward the
Roumanian Army in Budapest. The
conference, it is learned. is not dis
posed to ask the Roumanians to
leave the Hungarian capitol imme-
diately despite the fact that the su-
preme inter allied council asked the
Roumanians not to enter Budapest.
While the supreme council is in
dignant over Roumanian seizure OF
supplies in Hungary preparatory to
shipping them to Roumania, many del
egates to the conference are of the
opinion that it will be necessary for
the Roumanian troops to remain in
Budapest to steady the situation at
least temporarily. The council to-
day was still without direct reply to
its ulttmatum from the Roumanian
government.

Andrew Camegie;s Career

Andrew Carnegie during the latter
period o2 his life undoubtedly ranked
as the greatest American spender of
endowment and philanthropic moneys.
That is, the amounts Of cash which
he donated to enterprises OF public
or quasi-public nature exceeded those
of any other American philanthropist.
In substance, using the slang of the
day, he might have been called the
champion philanthropist. 1t might also
be correct to characterize him as the
foremost teacher Of frugality and thrift
in America during the past two dec
ades.
He was best known In two fields.
Steel-where he made money. And
public libraries-to which special
field he gave money to an unprecedent-
ed and sensational extent.
Born in 1896 in Dunfermline, Fife
shire, Scotland, he came to the u. s.
A. In 1s4S and took jeb,at q dollar
week as a weaVer's assistant in a
mill at Allegheny, Pa. Next he was
messenger boy for the Ohio Telegraph
Co. in Pittsburgh and soon was tele-
graph operator for the Pennsylvania
railroad, mounting upward and on
ward-for his was an upward and on
ward career Q pluribus unum-till he
became superintendent OF the Pitts
burgh division.
The woodruff Sleeping Car Co. and
investments In oil lands near OIL City
Pa, were the mediums through which
he laid the foundation for fortune
with which to begin operations In the
steel game, Ywhereihe made his way to
supremacy BE introduced the jBesse-
mer process In 1868 and a string OF
bridge, iron and steel plants were
brought together in 1899 in the Car
negie Steel Co.
The United States Steel Corporation
paid him $300,o00,o00 for his entire
holdings of steel in 1901. What is told
as the bttterest experience in his life
is a conversation between ]. P. Nor

ter.

the board in regard 70 securing more
adequate water connection for indus
trial plants on the Belt Line. The
Underwriters association recon-
mends increased facilities for fighting
fire in this section Of the city. City
Engineer Miller submitted some plans
in regard to the matter, and upon req
ommendation by members OF the
board, it was ordered by the board
that Mr.. Miller draw up plans and
specifications for same, suggest the
route to be traversed by the line and
to ask for bids on sarge.
Water Commissioner Ira L Smith
recommended that the board pur-
chase a lathe to be used at the water
works plant and stated that he beltey-
ed the price OF the lathe could be say

necessary for the proper maintenance
of that department, asked that the
fire station for the East Side be built

further consideration.

Eight Cars Less Last
Week.

Production slumped in the Fair
mont region last week because of car

the Monongah division of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad. There was 8
! total Of 5,712 cars of coal and coke pro-
duced last week against $3.50 cars dur
ing the previous week. This cut in
production was felt on the B. & o. the
worst due of course to its failure to
furnish the necessary cars. On the

previous week.
Actual coal prodution last week was
5,679 cars or 28S,950 tons. Coke pro o-
duction totaled 33 cars. During the

psychology of financial rivalry that
American economics had ever wit

owned largely by Morgan interests,
had been planning to Manufacture

Carnegie. He sent out word he was
going into the bridge and tube busl-

from Pittsburgh tolthe Great Lakes on
the west and to the Atlantic seaboard
on the east. Surveying parties were
rushed out to find the routes. Other

LENo, Mass, Aug. 11-Andrew
Carnegie. steel magnate and philan-
thropist died at Shadow Brook. at sew
en- ten this morning after an Illness
of less than three days with 2neumo-
MIA. So sudden was his death that
his daughter, Mrs. Roswell Miller
was unable to get to her Fathers bed
side before he died. His wife and
private secretary were with him at
the end.
Mr.. Carnegie had spent most OF the
summer at Leno1, coming here late in
May and up to few weeks ago en-
joyed himself in almost daily fishing
trips on the lake Mahkeenac which
borders his big Shadow Brook" es-
tate and in riding about his grounds.
He was taken I'll Friday and grew
steadily worse. His advanced age les
sened powers Of resistance and has
tened the end.
Mr. Carnegie came to Lenox to
make his home in May, 1917 and has
spent the last three summers here.
He intended to spend his declining
days at his country home here and
when he bought It an announcement
was made that Mr.. Carnegie would
spend all OF the spring and summer
months there. He came up from New
York late in May this year.
Mr.. Carnegie leaves his widow who
was Miss Louise Whitefield of New
York, and mis- daughter Margaret who
was married last April to Ensign Ros-
well Miller OF New York.

reading the Associated Press dispatch
announcing Mr.. Carnegie,s death.
Mayor E. v. Babcock ordered all
flags in Pittsburgh lowered TO half
mast. At the Carnegie institute the
scene OF one of his philanthropic
works plans were made to drape the
buildings in crepe. News OF Mr.. Car
negies sudden death at Lenox spread
rapidly through the city. AT the steel
mills which bear his name ,prepara-
tions were made to suspend work and
other institutions in which he was in
terested planned similar action.
NEW YORK, Aug. 11-Althcugh Mr..
Carnegie who was in his .s4th year,
had been an invalid since 1917 when
he suffered an attack of grippe, the
news of his sudden death was a shock
to old friends and former business as
sociates here Since his previous
serious illness he had been under the
care of two nurses.
Identified so long with the Interna-
tonal peace movement, Mr.. Carnegie
was said to have been more severely
affected by the world war than most
men. 1t came as a hard blow to him
and tho cause which he had so close
at heart.
Owing to his health Mr.. Carnegie
for some time led secluded life and
his withdrawal from all public activi-
ties gave rise to frequent statements
concerning his health. After his re-
tirement he was compelled to HINT
the number OF his daily visitors and
