Meet the Greatest
Spender In America
BY r. j. GIBBONS.


NEW YORK.-America's great
est spender is Robert Weeks De
Forest.
Monthly Brewster, OF ''Brewster's
Millions" is a piker compared with
him.
But De Forest has none OF Brew
ster's haracteristics-even though
he is compelled to spend millions
where the money-ridden Monty has
had to spend mere hundreds Of
thousands.
De Forest is 7S and lawyer
though he reminds one much Of a
dignifed and prosperous small town
doctor. He is kindness and faith
erliness personifed.
The millions he's spending slip
without regrets through his fingers
but, you can stake your last cent
on this. De Forest knows where
every penny Of It is going
Can you imagine being ordered to
spend S5s.oOO.0O0 in four or FIVE
years?
Well. that was the order De For
est and four associates got from the
court as executors Of the terms Of
the viii OF the late Mrs. Russell
Sage. Many bequests were specified ;
but much was left to the discretion
Of the executors.
De Forest is president OF the Rus
sell Sage Foundation.
He has done very well so far.
spending something like Sal, 900, 600
since 1918. That leaves him S17.-
0OO,0 more to get rid of-in addi-
ton to s5,OOO.0OO he has made for
the estate since he took crage Of 1t.
That's one difficulty De Forest
faces in getting these millions spent
unless he hurries they make more
millions
OF course, II it wasn't for fear OF
a riot. De Forect could give 1t all
away in a day.
Money is just like sugar" n,
says. Files come for the sugar
Humans scent the money - from
afar.
Handling ffty-eight millions, OF
one million. or just a few hundred
thousand are tasks quite similar.
The duties are much like admin.
istering any business - grocery
store, for example.
But are the worries Identical oI
equal?" De Forest was asked.
Hardly" he said. Dollars are
cares. To direct their power fol-
good requires time and application
OF sound business principles, with
lots OF humanity thrown in between
times"
In addition TO spending one Of the
largest estates ever amassed, Dc
Forest has many other duties which
are part OF the job
He is rent collector for about 5000
pieces of real estate, director in nu.
merous railroads and corporations
and daddy to some 500 bene.
ficiaries
De Forests chief worries are tn,
tax collectors scattered throughout
the various states.
De Forest dreams about thes,
genii by night. And they clutter uI
his mail and poster him by day.
Asked II he would be glad whei
the money was gone, De Fores
smiled. yawned a little. and sail
there were fine golf courses in tn
south, and he guessed he'd star
down there one of these days.

PROSPECTS POOR FOR
FREIGHT-RATE CUT

WASHINGTON. March g. The
general railroad situation affords lit
tie prospect of general decreases in
freight rates, Chairman Clark, of
the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion, said yesterday.
Replying to a letter from Senator
Harris, Of Georgia, Chairman Clark
wrote:
"The situation is not so good as
1t was in December. There has been
a substantial falling off in general
traffic. The average operating ratio
OF the railroads Of the United States
is something over 90. That means
that 70 reyery dollar the railroads
earn they pay out in operating ex-

to the narrow margin between reve-

EPWORTH CHOIR
SCORES SUCCESS

Epwo-th NJ f. Church choir gave
concert last evening before an
audience that filled the large audito-
rum and gallery OF that church.
Those who heard Il pronounced it
one of the best choir concerts given
in Wilmington in recent years. The
fun strength OF the choir was re-
quired in the opening number,
Bolx's majestic composition. Great
Is the Lord" and the singers han
died Il In manner that showed
careful training and intelligent in
terpretation. All the subsequent
numbers by the chorus were sung
with fine effect. In the closing num-
ber. Emerson's "The Mountain
Land" the choir seemed 10 be at its
best. and its rendition was a fitting
climax TO an evening Of unusually
good singing.
The double male quartette sang
"siver Threads Among the Cold"
arranged for male voices by Phillips,
and "'Neaf de Dear or Southern
Pines" by Marks. The audience de-
nanded encores on both these num-
bers The male voices blended re-
markably well. A semi-chorus OF Ia
dies sang Geibers "Come Silently. o
sleep" This selection showed TO ad-
vantage the ability Of the singers In
handling their several parts. and
they sang IL in a manner that must
have pleased the composer, had he
been present.
William F. Raymond was tenor
I soloist and this weil-known vocalist
amply sustained his reputation as ar
artist Of ability. He sang win You
1 Remember" from "Maytime." and
was obliged 70 respond TO encores.
The entire mems section OF the
choir sang star Of the Summer
! Night" and a mixed chorus sani
! Edwards Dear Old south err
| Songs" Both numbers were wei
rendered w. Harper Spry and Mr.
Raymond sang. by special request
Let the Rest Of the World Go By
and were heartily encored. the entir'
chorus joining In the refrain.
Mrs Mildred Menore Raymond
was the elocutionist OF the evening
and she won her audience on he
frs. number. Mrs. Raymond recite
with thorough confidence, and he
work az last nights entertainment
showed her proficiency.
Miss Gladys Barnes was the solo
list for the soprano part in Great /
the Lord" and Clarence Haines wa
tenor soloist IN Edwards Wa
Songs" Both young singers acquit
ted themselves in splendid manner.
The concert was a success from
every viewpoint. and II is hope
that Epworth choir will give NOR
such musicaies in the future. Georg
f. King was director, and Mrs
Emma Saxton was organist
