W. H. 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."

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"

ing carefully Justice Pritchard's de
cision in the circuit court at Rich

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

companies to use every reasonable
effort to furnish equal transportation
facilities to all their shippers. I be

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

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

While it involved no loss of life
the destruction of Count Zeppelin's

Germany, on'August 5, last, was one
of the severest blows yet struck at

Knabenshue airship at Springfield.
Ohio. July 13, 1907. Robinson fell
