Singer Thought it Best to Let Each of His Four Children Have Money "While It Would Do Them Some Good" ' PITTSBURG, Sept ' " 18. At the golden wedding dinner of himself and wife, W, H. Singer, the iron king, dis tributed $16,000,000 among his four children, each getting $4,000,000. Through the filing of certain papers in the Allegheny county court house yesterday this came out It later was admitted by the Singer family. Mr. Singer invited his children to the family home, 934 Western Avenue, Allegheny, to assist in celebrating his golden wedding anniversary on May 27. None but the children was in vited, and each found by his or her plate of small dinner"favor" of checks, bonds and deeds amounting to $4,000,000 each. The four children who received these gifts are: William Henry Sin ger, landscape painter, now in Nor way, where he spends most of his ' time. ' George Singer, iron manufacturer of .Pittsburg, now in the White Moun tains on a vacation. Mrs. William Ross Proctor, wife of a Philadelphia architect. Marguerite Singer, a younger daughter, who lives at home. Mrs. Singer, who has a fortune of her 'own, received several pieces of valuable real estate as her golden wedding present. . Mr. .Singer made his fortune as a member of the iron firm of Singer, Nimick, and Company. He also was connected with many banking insti tutions in Pittsburg and his wealth remaining after giving his children their fortune is $15,000,000. A peculiar feature of the case was made known yesterday. Wnt. Henry Singer, the son who chose painting rather than the iron business as his life's work, will not be able to enjoy his millions in America owing to the great fear his wife holds of the "black hand." She recently received a threat ening letter and it frightened her into hysterics. Her husband was finally compelled to-take her abroad. The elder Mr. Singer is following out the policy laid down by, his life long friend, Charles Lockhart of the Standard Oil Company, who before his death called all his children into a dinner party and under each plate put a check for $1,000,000. Mr. Lockhart and Mr. Singer many years ago promised each other they wouh.1 diribute their wealth among their children "in time to do the chil dren some good."

'"Chic" Perkins, in "The Little1 Prospector GONE FAITH-MAD CHICAGO, Sept 19. While ojs. Bulanda stormed at the doors of the county i hospital last night, vainly seeking admission to protect hi son from the surgeon's knife. Judge Tut- hill, of the juvenile court, was con soling the boy and endeavoring to have hi consent to the operation, which is expected to save his life. Bulanda has said that he would rather the boy would die than to allow his arm to be amputated. The surgeons will amputate "the gangrene-affected arm today, and if the father attempts to carry out his threat to do bodily harm to Warden Happel and the operating physicians he will be arrested. . The father said he had engaged a faith healer, who guaranteed to save the boy's arm as well as his life. The warden was told that $25,000 damage suits would be started against him and all persons taking part in the operation, but he did not heed the three. "It is simply a case of ignorance against science," said Warden Hap pel. "The arm will come off, despite Bulanda's threats. The boy's life is at stake, and the operation is the only thing that will save it" STRIKE THREATENED MANCHESTER.

' DECISION IS IMPORTANT Coal Companies Can't Monopolize Transportation By Owning Cars , NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Frank B. Kellogg, special deputy attorney gen eral, who is prosecuting the govern ment's case against the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey," after read ing carefully Justice Pritchard's de cision in the circuit court at Rich mond, Va., to the effect, that coal companies can not monopolize trans portation facilities by virtue of own ership of private cars, said: ; "I should say this is a very im portant decision and will have a ben eficial effect on railroad transporta tion. It is the duty, of the railroad companies to use every reasonable effort to furnish equal transportation facilities to all their shippers. I be lieve the roads should own all their equipment" ., Commission, by G. W." Lounsberry .r is if it- 1 1 ft JOHN D. ARCHBOLD (Continued from page 1) records in the attorney general's of fice the attorneys in record in 1899 and 1900, when the cases against the Standard and subsidiary companies were tried, were M. R. Keith, S. C. T. Dodge, Joseph H. Choate, of New York, and Virgil P. Kline, of Cleve land. None of the attorneys who were employed in the attorney gen eral's office knew anything about the connection of Foraker with the Standard Oil Company. "Yet," said Smith W. Bennett, as sistant attorney general, roraker was the power behind the throne and may have been giving legal advice and looking up similar cases in other courts for citation in the fight of the Standard Oil Company in Ohio. The same official stated he was em ployed most of the time with At torney General Mnnnett in his con tests through various courts with the Standard and has yet to hear from Foraker to make any arguments, or even appear in person or otherwise at any of the various hearings. Sibley Denies Letters FRANKLIN. Pa.. Sept 18.-For- mer Congressman Joseph C. Sibley today denied emphatically that he had ever written to Archbold telling him that he warned Roosevelt not to of fend1 the Standard Oil Comp; ify. Bill 500 Private Claim 1 WASHINGTON, Sept la-Con gressional records fail to show any bill introduced in congress during 1900 or in the first session of the fifty-sixth congress, which was in ses sion at that time, relating to foreign corporations,, as referred to in the Foraker - Archbold correspondence. House bill No. 500, td which specific reference is made in tlve correspond ence, was a private claim bill and did not deal with corporations in ay way. There was not at that time any mem ber of the house named Price, which is given as the name of the author of the bill referred to. ' Hearst Reads Letters ST. LOUIS,. Sept 18.-Hcarst, in a speech opening the independence party campaign in Missouri here to night,' answered the reply of Senator Foraker to letters read by Hearst at Columbus last night,' and read two more-letters from Archbold, of, the Standard Oil Company, to Foraker. The new letters, Hearst said, refute the claim of the Ohio senator that all his work for the Standard Oil re lated solely to Ohio matters. Hisses greeted the speaker when he assailed Bryan and the Democratic party. Not only did Hearst reply to For aker, but he devoted a portion of his speech to Governor Haskell, of Okla homa, whom he charged with having served the Standard Oil Company, and said that apparently Haskell had got out of his -work with the Stand ard Oil, the chairmanship Of the Dem ocratic national convention and the treasureship of the Democratic na tional committee. . , ' . ; ' Foraker, according to Hearst, would not have admitted he was in the employ of the Standard had he known Hearst read the letters to night, but would have denied the en tire matter. The first letter follows: " "26 Broadway, "New York, Jan. 27, 1902.' ' (Astotia, Ore. "My Dear, Sir-Responding to your favor of the 25th, it gives me pleas ure to hand' y)U herewith a certificate of deposit of $50,000 in accordance with our understanding. Your letter stales the condition correctly, and. I .trust the transaction will be success fully consuniatcd, Yours very truly, "J. D. ARCHBOLD." The second letter: ' , "26 Broadway, "New York, Feb. 25, 1902, "My Dear Senator I venture to write you a word regarding the bill introduced by Senator Jones of Af kansas, known as S. B, 49, intended to amend the. 'act to protect trade and commerce against unlawful mo nopolies, etc., introduced by him De cember 24th. "It really seems as though this bill is very nncccssarily severe and even vicious. Is it not much better to test the application of the Sherman act before resorting to a measure of this kind? ' "I hope you will feel so about it, and I will be greatly pleased to have a word from you on the subject. This is, , I believe, still in the committee. Very truly, J. D. ARCHBOLD. "Hon. J. B. Foraker, Washington, D. C" Haskell Denies CHICAGO, Sept 18,-Covcrnor Haskell, of Oklahoma, in a statement tonight, denied ever having had any thing to do with the Standard Oil Company, as charged by Hearst at Columbus, lie says the man referred to was W. C. Haskell, former United States marshal at Cleveland, now an employe of the district of Columbus. Hearst's statement is false. SACRIFICE TO SCIENCE (Continued from page 1) While it involved no loss of life the destruction of Count Zeppelin's balloon by lightning near Stuttgart, Germany, on'August 5, last, was one of the severest blows yet struck at aerial navigation. A spectacular accident to a mam moth airship at Berkley Cat, on May 23. last, resulted in a serious injury to sixteen men who narrowly escaped with their lives. The airship, the invention of Cap- .. !.. .!..! tain J. A. Morreli. was on us inai trio. In full view of ten thousand people it ascended 300 feet when it suddenly burst and dropped to the ground with it's crew of 16 men. One of the most remarkable escapes from death in aeronautical history was that of Gail Robinson who sailed the Knabenshue airship at Springfield. Ohio. July 13, 1907. Robinson fell 800 feet, the only mark of his exper ience being a small scratch. Everyone of the bystanders who witnessed his ascent expected to see Robinson dashed to a pulp. At first his' ma chine shot-downward so rapidly it was hard for the eye to follow him. As he neared the earth the machine slowed up and he reached ground safely, ' When the people flocked to the wrecked balloon, thinking to find Ro lnmn n rnrni he W3S lighting a cigarette. Y .
