BERLIN.-Hugo Stonne, the noted
German industrialist, died April 10, at
the age of 54. Mr.. SHINES began his
career in his fathers coal mine at
Muelheim, where he worked with pick
and shovel, shoulder to shoulder with
veteran miners. His family was we'll
to-do, but he was an inyeterate work
er, his working day averaged 16 hours
and he was uncompromising in de-
claring that uniform 8-hour day was
viciously inimical to Germany's eco
nomic recovery He was owner of
many factories, buzzing dynomis,
ocean liners, hotel properties and
newspaper plants. He held the con-
trolling stock in several large Berlin
and Rhineland banks, and his inter
ests will now devolve upon his sons,
Edmond and Hugo, Jr Before the
war his wealth had reached 40,000,000
gold marks, Frau Bertha Krupp was
said to possess the largest fortune in
Germany. She paid taxes on 100000
900 gold marks. Since the war the
SHINES fortune has increased to more
than 1,000,000,0O0 marks. SHINES was
the greatest industrial organizer Ger
many ever produced. He was trained
from earliet boyhood in the principles
Of commerce and trade. Hugo SHINES
had two favorite boasts--one was that
he could buy anyone in Central Eu-
rope without missing the money, and
the other that he had never seen the
former German emperor, and wouldn't
have turned his head to look at him
on the street. 1t Is said that the gov
ernment will collect $125,000, 900 al
