 Reports have reached eertaiii quarters in RoIue which declare that when the Italia crashed dis pute arose between General No bile and leading members of the expedition including Dr. Finn Malmgren, the Swedish scientist The result was that Dr. Malmgren. with the Italian experts. decided to quit General Mobile, who allowed them the smallest amount If pro visions. thus explaining the mys- tery of why the party which set out for the mainland afoot to fetch help for the remainder of the party, was so poorly equipped for such I daring expedition.

 Other reports, which are not confirmed, for obvious reasons. state that after the Italia crashed leading scientists started mutin, and attempted to take command.

FORTUNES

"Shrt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations
goes old saying. It implies that fortunes accumu-
lated by generation usually disspated by the
third generation. This is not true Of American for
tunes.
Whatever the ability Of Americans to their gov
eminent economically and to money there is one
thing in their financial life that is undenable-ther
propensity for holding to the almighty dollar once
it is within their reach
All the outstanding great fortunes amassed by Amer
leans have been increased by their heirs, with one
exception that Of the Gould Millions and in this case
it was the fact that the heirs bent getting
all that was coming to them that the fortune soon
diminished through legal fights.
The second, third and fourth generations of heirs
have built up and added to most Of Americas big
fortunes. John Jacob Aston left $20,000O0O at his
death in 1848. The Astor fortune exceeds $780,
100000. Vincent Astor alone is worth $l00O0OO0O.
When Meyer Guggenheim died in 1905 he left an
estate valued at $50000,000 His heirs are reputed
to be worth ten times that much today. The Du Pont
estate has prospered under the guidance
the third generation The Vanderbilt fortune continues
to in spite of the financial setbacks of one of the
younger members of the family. All of the older
Standard Oil company fortunes digger and better
than ever.
This seems to refute rather completely the popular
belief that rich mems sons and grandsons know more
about spending money than about making it,

FOUR MILLION CAPITALISTS

Joseph S. Mccoy, United States treasury actuary,
estimates at 100000 the "egon of capitalists" IN
the United States One out of every thirty persons
is the of corporate securities bonds.
The number of stockholders has increased materially
since the World war. Businesses have encouraged
employees to buy stock in the they work for
on the theory that stockholders take greater interest
in the business National prosperity has also accounted
for the growth of the "legon Of capitalists"
American stockholders are not all mlionaires. Less
than per Of the outstanding corporation stocks
is held by mionares although 95 per cent Of the
wealthy obtain their income from stock dividends.
There are some 100000 widows solely dependent on
stock dividends, and many orphans are cared for in
the manner
The character and psychology of the two classes is
reflected in the preference of the city deer for stocks
and of the rural resident for bonds. The
is progressive and the other conservative in
all things.
On the face Of these figures and facts it is not
prsng that the labor troubles have been reduced
minimum here. AS long American workers

PARASITES

Most Of the states, through control Of employment
agencies try to make it impossible for those out of
work to be imposed upon Especially is immigrant
labor protected from INSCRIPTIONS exploitation. In
spite Of governmental watchfuness it asserted that
the "padrone" system again has entered the employ

The "padrone" became particularly prosperous dur

which subsequently he exploited He would gather
together group of ignorant peasants, promise them
good jobs in the States, ship them to agent, and
arrange to collect their wages After he had deducted
for their passage and such other expenses he could
trump up, there very little left for the laborer
This corrupt and heartess system was stamped out
some years ago. and will not be tolerated today by
the American people. Where it is gaining new foot
hold, if it is, government agents will sense its presence
and check further development. characterization
workers perform more valuable service to i'm
migrant labor than by protecting it from this sort OF
exploitation.
1t is worthy of note that Americans are not the
exploters. The "'padrone" invariably is country
