JOHN WANAMAKER
REPORTED DEAD IN
MIAMI, Still LIVES
Railroads Had Prepared
to Take the Body to
Philadelphia
ANOTHER WANAMAKER
Merchant Prince Says
He Has Engagements
in 1926
(By Associated Press)

Miami, Jan. 6-Whitley Wesley
Wanamaker, South Carolina plant
er, died in a local hotel here yester-
day and this morning the undertaken
in charge of the body announced the
death of John Wanamaker, merchant
prince and former postmaster general
The mistake of the identification
was further emphasized by the am
nouncement at the Biscayne Bay
Yacht club that John Wanamaker had
recently been in Florida waters ON
his yacht. The false report spread
all over the south, and got as far as
Philadelphia, but was overtaken there
when it was announced that John
Wanamaker was alive and well in
his office there.
Railroad officials here believing
that the dead man was John Wanna
maker gave instructions to prepare
for taking the body to Philadelphia
tonight and gave orders for every at
tention to be shown in transit. The
mistake was discovered in little less
than an hour after first made, but not
before it was reported generally
throughout the country that the great
Philadelphia merchant had passed
away.

Secretary to resign-in case he did
not resign then the Board of Mana

take into account that the Sunday

there was something more to be done

ed to $12s.63S.44 The poorest show
ing was in January, $12,461.l2, a peri
cd when practically no tax money
was being received.
Mr.. Carr, during his period of Office,
has taken every precaution to prevent
tax sharks buying the property of
poor delinquent tax payers, and in
this respect he has notified by regis
tered mail all delinquent tax payers
from to 10 days previous to the date
set for the sale of any particular tax
warrants, and in this way a great
number of property owners have
avoided the expense and time of re-
deeming their property from the tax
sharks. This is a service that only
the poor tax payer can appreciate,
that is to say, anyone who cannot see
their way clear to make payment for
property when IT is due.
Enormous Amount of Money Yearly
1t may be news to you to know that
the County Treasurer of Cook County
handles during the course of fiscal
year, approximately $2l0OOO.OOO.OO. 1t
is a big business proposition and Mr..
Carr is at the head of it, and he has
been functioning the Office as big
man should, and thus serving the peo-
pie faithfully and well in the capacity
of County Treasurer, however, Mr..
Carr is only acting in accordance with
his previous record of public Official.
Mr. Carr was born in Chicago on
September 4, 1880. After completing
a grammar school course he attended
De Lasalle Institute, peddling papers
in South HaIsted street to pay for
his tuition and help with the family
expenses.
Early in life he was employed as
packing clerk in w. F. McLaughlin's
Coffee House and subsequently joined
the Chicago Vessel Unloaders' Union,
and worked as foreman stevedore on
docks of the Chicago River for hve
years. He successfully passed civil
service examination for appointment
as sidewalk inspector for the City,
and resigned this position to accept
the nomination for alderman OF the
sth ward, which he represented IN the
Council for two terms. He was sub
sequently elected by Democrats as a
member of the Board OF Trustees OF

MAKING A RECORD AS coUN
TY TREASURER

Patrick J. Carr, present County
Treasurer appointed by the County
Board on April %, 1921 to ill the IN
expired term of the late Harry R
Gibbons. His selection was the unan-
imous choice of the County Board
at special meeting held on the above
date.
At the time of his appointment Mr..
Carr pledged himself to carry out the
campaign pledges of the late Mr.. Glib
bOns, and officially stated at the time
that the watchword of the Office would
be Courtesy and Service to the tax
paying Public" especially to the small
tax payers, who are found to be tiInid
about asking questions regarding their
taxes. In this connection, one of the
most recent moves for the conven-
ience of the tax payers was the loca-
non of about IS additional sub-sta-
tons, making a total of 81 sub-stations
throughout the city for the payment
Of taxes. These sub-stations, which
are located in the thickly populated
sections of Chicago, are for the sole
purpose of collecting taxes in the
neighborhood, thereby relieving the
tax payer of the necessity of coming
down to the Treasurer's Office, and
perhaps waiting in line for an hour
or so. Has also established an infor-
nation desk with men in charge who
speak various foreign languages.
New Interest Record
1t was only recently that Mr.. Carr
set a new record in turning back to
the County interest on 1921 collec-
tons, in that he turned over total
Of $44l9.o0, representing interest on
County moneys to November so, 1921,
the end of the County's fiscal year.
This is by far the largest amount Of
interest ever returned by County
Treasurer.
Mr.. Carr Lands Checking System
The wisdom of checking on the
Ireasurer's records and requiring him
to report all interest earned Is shown,
Nr. Carr says, IN comparing the rec
ords Of past years. In 1905 the total
interest turned over by the County
Treasurer was only Sz3,i3s, according
to records in the County Comptroller's
othoe. The total has grown steadily
until it has reached the big figure
reported by Mr.. Carr.
In 1909 the interest received, &C
oOrding to the Comptroller's records,
had increased to Sl17,266.ol, IN 1914
II had amounted to SIS, zS6.l2, in 1913
to S3OO.s3545, in 1920 to $5SS6sll7,
and this year to S654.4io.0O. The best
