I ORD BECOMES
RICHEST
Man
$50, ooo,o 900 Fortune Ex-
ceeds BOOKSELLERS, Car
negie's, and the Others.

NEW YORK. May 5.-Henry
Ford, instead OF having to come to
Wall street begging for some
money, as was expected by some
financiers who were ready to turn
him down, is today the richest man
in the world.
His fortune eclipses that Of John
d. Rockefeller, it Is believed. The
Ford riches are said to amount to
$3.50 600. 900. Rockefeller who is
known to have given away 81 ,O00.-
000, 900 in charitable and social serv-
ice activities, is estimated to be
worth only $500. 000, 900.
Ford's wealth came from sue
cessfuI operations the auto manu-
facturer started twenty years ago
on a shoe string" of $780, 900.
The magnitude Of today's wealth
held by Ford overshadows the gi-
gantic fortunes Of such men as An
drew Carnegie. estimated to have
amassed $300. 000. 900. Marshall
Field, believed to have been worth
$120. 900, 900 and the $70,00O,000 As
tor estate.
The figures of Ford's wealth were
revealed with the filing in Boston
by the Ford Motor Company OF its
financial condition.
Assets Of 1886, 351 .93s. compared
with $400, 54S.946, are shown. Cash
on hand is given as $159, sos .6S7,
while net profits are estimated by
Wall Street to be $119, 900. 900, equal
to $3.50 q share on common stock.

The University of Virginia Glee
Club came to washington last
night and in a concert Of distinct
merit delighted the large audience
of former University Of Virginia
students and friends who gathered
in the ballroom of Wardman Park
Hotel.
Full credit for the excellent
chorus work of the college lads be
longs to Prof. Arthur Fickenscher,
who welded the baton at last
nights concert. Professor Ficken'
scher is a musician far above the
average, and he demonstrated his
ability not merely as conductor,
but as a pianist-accompanist.
AS was to be expected. there was
a. nut act" which caused uproar1-
GUS laughter. The comedian was
Fred Ogden, and the songs he sang
although a trif1e risque at times
"got over big" Ogden is something
of banjoist also.
AS for the chorus, 1t demon
strated real artistry in it's 1nterpre'
tation of Pedestrians "Adoramus
Te," 1.-THE Viking Song" by 8. Col
eridge-Taylor, and ITS Oh, to Be

gar. Several shorter and humorous
numbers were given.
Fulton Lewis, a young Washing

versity of Virginia, exhibited his
ability as a singer, pianist and
composer. While his compositions
are of the frothy variety typical OF
the age, they are melodious and
''easy on the ear"

THOMAS CIRCLE
C|TZENSARE
ACTIVE
Formed Year Ago This Month,
Organization Is One OF
Youngest in City.

Formed a year ago this month
and, therefore, among the youngest
organizations Of its kind in the
city, the Thomas Circle Citizens AS
ISOLATION may point with pride to
record of concrete attainments
accomplished during it's brief ex-
istence which may well excite the
envy of many older citizens bodies
devoting their efforts to the better
ment of local conditions.
At present the association is adj.
vocating several measures effecting
the general interest OF Washing
tonians which it expects In time TO
write in as part of its history OF
accomplishments.
When the association was formed
certain conditions in the immediate
neighborhood of Thomas Circle had
earned for the neighborhood the
reputation of being one OF the most
dangerous zones, in a traffic sense,
in the heart of the city. The high
way Immediately east OF the circle
had acquired the ominous appela-
ton of Death Lane" 1t had been
the scene OF numerous accidents in
which motorists and pedestrians
alike had been the sufferers ana
was regarded by both as a zone to
be avoided when possible.
Situation Is Corrected.
Action Immediately was taken by
the association to bring the situa-
ton to the attention of the Dis
trict Commissioners. This led the
latter to establish a number Of
safety zones around the circle. AS
a result there has been a decided
decrease in the number of accidents
in the vicinity. At present its ac-
cident record compares favorable
with that of any other section OF
the city. Had the association &C.
complished nothing else, it is said,
the results secured in this direction
would have been ample justification
for it's formation and activities.
But the association did not stop
there. Lighting conditions along
Fourteenth street invited its atten-
ton. It's activities in this direction
has resulted in an assurance by the
District Commissioners that an i'm
proved lighting system for the
thoroughfare will be developed at
once.
The school situation next drew its
attention. The Barrett School, Thir-
teenth and Q streets northwest. was
investigated. 1t was found to be
one of the most Anticipated struc-
lures in the city, having been
erected about 1870, and in need Of
modernization in practically all that
Is considered essential in the pres
ent day school. Efforts of the asso.
citation to obtain the needed i'm
provements were fairly successful.
1t is the contention of the associa.
ton. however, that a new school
building should be provided and that
the district should take over two or
three of the adjoining lots and con-
vert them into a playground. Ef.
forts to get action in both directions
by the District Commissioners are
being made by the association.
Favor HaIf-Fare Tickets
But what really brought the as.
ISOLATION into the limelight in a
broad, municipal, sense was it's ad-
vocacy of a half-fare ticket for the
benefit of school children who use
the trolley cars in attending school.
A resolution favoring a rate cut of
this kind was passed by the asso-
citation and a committee appointed
to take up the matter with the

CUT IN CLERICAL
FORCES NOT
LIKELY
Rumors of Wholesale Dismis,
sails in U. S. Forces Lack
Confirmation.
KEYSTONE ARHoTo

Rumors of a big reduction in the
force of Federal employees prior TO
the beginning of the new fiscal year
in July meet with no confirmation
from departmental officials.
The Civil Service Commission.
which is in close touch with all mat
ters affecting the Government work
erS, has no word that such cuts are
contemplated, and the Budget Bureau
officials, although guarded in all
their forecasts as to the future, say
there is little prospect of any large
reductions in the next few months.
The official figures prepared by
the Civil Service Commission show
that the monthly reduction of the
Federal personnel is now proc aedtng
at so slow gait as to be virtually
nonexistent. There has been a net
loss of less than 800 employees since
January /, and last November there
was q net gain of workers over the
previous month-the first time that
such gain had been registered since
the armistice.
Departmental officials generally
hold that the "deflation" Of the Gov.
eminent working force has now been
completed. The fluctuations in the
personnel from month to month
represent merely Irregularities in
certain forms of Government EN-
ployes rather than any consistent
reduction of personnel. While it is
possible that the investigation of
the Veterans Bureau now being con-
Quoted by the Senate special com
mittee, conducted by Senator Reed
of Pennsylvania, may result in a re-
organization of the bureau and
sweeping changes in it's structure.
