NEW YORK, Dec. IS. (P)-John Aikman Stewart, aged 104, Wall Street f1nancier and once assistant secretary of the treasury, died at his home here of pneumonia
 When he discon tinued making regu- lar trips to his office in Wall Street several months after he had passed his 88th birthday anniversary, John Aikman Stewart insisted that he had not retired, but merely was acting up- on the advice of his physician.
 MT. Stewart was the oldest active financier in Wall Street, and perhaps in the country. He contended there was no secret about the good health he had enjoyed so many years and attributed it to abstemious habits since his youth. He had not used tobacco in any form since he was 20. T mhelieve that is @one of the reasons II have kept my health," he declared. "The only ruleI have is moderation in everything. Eating too much is just as bad as drinking too much. I do not live differently from other people but I eat and drink carefully"
 MT. Stewart often recalled with ap- parent pleasure the intimate friend ship he enjoyed with many presidents of the United States. Born during the administration of James Monroe, he would recall the first president he saw was Andrew Jackson on an oc- casion when the president delivered an address at the City hall in New York. From Jackson's time he had seen nearly all the presidents and was personally acquainted with most of them. He was one of Lincoln's close advisers during the Civil War, and entered the service of his country in 1864 as assistant treasurer of the United States. Afterward he took part in the councils of leading f1nanciers and participated in plans to fund the national debt. He came to the gov ernment's aid again in 1894 during the second administration of Grover Cleveland, at time when the coun- try's gold reserve was dangerously near depletion. He was influential in obtaining the resumption of specie payments and took leading part in financing the needs of the govern ment. President Cleveland in his book "Presidential Problems" said of him: 'He rendered most useful and patriotic service in making this and the previous offer of bonds success full"
 He was the last survivor of the ori- ginal board of trustees, which includ- ed Peter Cooper, John Jacob Astor, Joseph Lawrence, John J. Phelps, John J. Cisco, William E. Dodge, Roy al Phelps and William H. Macy.

MT. Staser announced last night that, as far as the position was con- cerned, he did not care, but question d the fairness of dismissal without stated charges and without opportun- ity to make answer. All he knew Of the ground cited for his dismissal was reference to 8 dispatch from Anchor age quoting Major Joseph Kemp, then in command of the Anchorage military post as saying that there were 30 places on Fourth avenue where white mule whiskey was being openly sold. And that Deputy Marshal Staser had remarked that "the major did not get them all, but under the search war rant interpretation it was impossible for officers to enforce the law" r
 The case is unusual in that the or der did not originate with United States Marshal Sullivan, but came to him peremtorily, and therefore he was not consulted in the premises. On the contrary, Marshal Sullivan, who is guest at the Van Glider gave MT. Sta ser the following letter:
 Valdez, Alaska, Dec. 15, 1926. H. I. Staser, Esq.
 Anchorage, Alaska.
 Dear Harry:
 Since your service as deputy United States marshal, at Anchorage, Alaska, terminates on this day, l think it proper, and only just to you, to state that I greatly regret the severance of your connection with this office. During your service as Deputy United States marshal, have always found you to be a very faith full and efficient officer and a man whose honesty and integrity are be- yond question. I sincerely wish you we'll in whatever you undertake in the future, and believe that you are deserving of success.
 Yours very sincerely,
 HARVEY P. SULLIVAN
 Limited States Marshall
 Immediately upon receiving notice of his removal MT. Staser cabled the U. s. Attorney General, asking that he be provided with specific charges as to the cause of his dismissal. To date no reply has been received, and all he knows about the situation is the re- ference to the press dispatch.
 Tt does not seem reasonable or evidence of either justice or fair play" said MT. Staser last night, .'that an officer of the law should be per emptorily ordered removed from his position without charges being prefer red and an opportunity given for de- lending them. If this is possible, then any man might be dismissed overnight merely upon the word of Continued on Page Four.)

 Morton's eyes twinkled, but he an- swered the question seriously. Here's the idea---I'm willing to tell you. You have heard of my adopted daughter, Audrey?"

He does not kill just for food, but keeps on killing as long as he. can find anything to kill For his size he is the grcat"s' killer ill all the Green Forest or on all the Green Meadows.
