7 IKE' I HOT TO HIS World's Richest Bachelor Has $50,000,000 Interest in Having Protection on Carpets Continucd-Great Wealth Without Failings. New York, Dec. S. Alexander Smith Cochran, who gave 115,000 to the Re- fiubllcan national campaign committee, the wealthiest bachelor in America, and probably in the world, Furthers more, he has no Intention of taking to himself a wife. He "aid so hlmsf1.' not long ago In talking with an Iniimate friend, and surely he ought to know. "The Green Mouse, Limited," Robert W. Chambers' latest creation, has not got after him yet. though, so there Is still hope for- the , eligible young women whose mammas would be will ing to let them change their names to Cochran and help the young man spend his $60,000,000. "Thank Ood, I am still a bachelor!" Is the way he is said to have expressed his sentiments on the. subject of matri mony. But you never can tell about such things; the Very next day he may have wondered how he ever cpuld .have felt that way. Mr. Cochran Is on a trip abroad, so his present views on matrimony could not be learnpd. Perhaps the world would be none tho wiser If Mr. Coch ran were within reaching distance; he la about as talkative as the Sphinx on questions that concern hlnjself. He once told his life story In five printed lines, and that Is more than anybody has gotten out of him since. r Wanted. High Tariff Malntained- Hls motive in contributing $15,000 to the Republican campaign fund Is sup- fiosed to have been Ills Interest In hav ng a high' protective tariff maintained. But he did not consult anybody before Signing tho check, and this explanation of his reason for making the contribu tion is only a reasonable assumption. That Is anhther habit of Mr. Cochran's to act for himself and say nothing about it either before or afterward. He would, however, havo every reason for wishing well to tho Republican party. He is at the head of the great est carpet works in tho world, the Alexander Smith Sons' company, of yonkers. He ha 7n0 men in his em play, whose labors turn out something . Ilka 30 miles of carpet a day. A re ductlon In the, tariff on manufactured oaf pets would make a hole In his In come beside which the $15,000 he gave would look like 15 cents. - But aside from his motive in wish ing tn u M the Renubllcan party to stay in power, a gift of $15,000 is a matter of small moment to Mr. Cochran. Not long ago he paid $20,000 for a rug and sent It to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with his card without any further explanation. .., The rug is one of the prlies of the collection and is framed In glass and hung up like the rarest painting. He happened to be in the museum one day and noticed that it was deficient in fine rugs. He did not say anything of his 1 . . I . U Mima Hlft wllPtl hfl found what he wanted he quietly i hnnirht If and had it sent to tho Mu wtiim with nhniit the same coi concern a blase society man would feel over stopping at a florist's and ordering a bunch of roses. Even in the case of his greatest ben efaction, a hospital at Yonkers. which 'Will coat $500,000 before it la finished he has maintained the same absence of uncle, the late Warren B. Smith, from whom ha inherited a large part of his fortune. " Annthor viv in which he resembles lit uncle Is In his remaining a bache lor. Mr! Smith did not matry. and in lils later years was seldom seen apart from his nephew, so It did not occasion surprise when It was found that the young man had been made his uncle's residuary legatee. He's) a Bemarksble Man. Mr. Cochran Is one of the most re markable men living because he Js everything he should be. everybody agrees, and because he Is all that near ly all other young men in his position are not a simple, level headed, clear sighted, honest .gentleman. V He never has given any Indication of accepting his great wealth otherwise than as a matter of course. It may be his knowledge that if he were to lose every cent tomorrow he could still earn a salary plenty large enough to supply all his real wants has something to do with his seeming disregard of his fortune. So thorough a master of the carpet making business has he become i.nt Via ta nlrAArlv At hnrrilv more than SO years, regarded as one of the world's authorities on the subject. " Another reason why his wealth does not wplgh heavily upon him fs that he has lived in an atmosphere of millions all life life. His mother was a sister of T-l a I , V- 1 .. V. lnhA.11,.1 uarrBii x. ctuhhi, aim mticuwu $10,000,000 from her father. Then, too. the young man's father left a like amount after having given away $2,000, 400 In various charitable bequestR. It could not be proved by many men, but probably there Is not much differ ence between $10,000,000 or $20,000,000 and $60,000,000, so far as things go which money can buy, and from this viewpoint ' It Is easier to conceive how the young man can practically disregard his great fortune without affectation. Mr. Cochran has the figure of a well Oeveloped athlete and the face of a. se rious man of affairs. He is what Is universally, recognised as -the. "clean cut" type. He has a very strong and finely-modeled chin a good fighting cnin a iirm, straignt moutn ana deep blue eyes. In repose his face is serious and almost cold, but when he smiles he could win the confidence of .the most skeptical. ' dispelling In a moment the general Impression of aloofness which his manner Is likely to give at a casual meetng. Want to Work la Factory. Ever since, as a small boy. he entered fit John's school, he has had this repu tation or aeep reserve, due in a nuiei way he has made many friends. While he was at Yale, from which he was graduated In 1894. he was one of the most respected members of the under graduate body. He did not take any active part In athletics, but he was deeply Interested, especially in the track team. .... But when he entered the great car pet works Immediately after his gradua tion the real test of his manhood came. Almost ever avenue in life was open to him society, sports er a' profession hut to the surprise of all except a few who knew his real character ho chose to enter the carpet works at the bottom of the ladder,- following the ex ample of his father, his grandfather and his great grandfather. , From the time the whistle blew In the early morning until 6 o'clock at night he worked -for several years side by side with the men whose dally bread was solely dependent upon their Industry. nhevcxf the same rules as the regu lar employes and. gave no Indlcation-t that mere was any omertuw ntiwnn him and them. - ' ; When the day s work was ended he Joined the other workmen in riding home on a street car. No carriage or auto mobile 'called for the young man In those days, and none has been calling for him since he became president of the factory He has to walk half a mile beyond the end of, the line to reach his mother's home, Iwm Cragan. which lies far hack from the street, set In one of the finest lawns to be found DEAS near New York,.: but he . regards that merely as good exercise and not by any means a hardship. Beautiful as It ls. Dun Cragan is surpassed by iSreystone, the famous home of fcamuel J. TUden, now occupied by Samuel Untermyer. After lie had . gained a- practical knowledge of the working of -the fac tory he took up thu sales department and the financial side of the business, mastering that with the' same degree of thoroughness as the actual turning put of the carpets. Filially- he had learned the entire business so completely that he had rightfully earned his place as, president. Instead of receiving it only by inheritance, aa would have satisfied many young men with '$60,000,000 at their disposal. . . . - ' It should be said, though.! in Justice to other young men, that Mr. Cochran aia not nave tbe taste for leisure which has proved the undoing of others. Out side of the factory he took his chief pleasure' In his horses and does and In reading, and in rather heavy reading at cnai. lie was a member or (Squadron A for a short time, but he found that it iook too much or his time and be re signed.- . . The men who know Mr., Cochran, best are the men In the great carpet fac tory. One of them told a World re porter;- -! . -"Mr." Cochran 'Is' a' mlhtv fine. man. I worked alongside of him when he was learning . tho business, and you never would have .known that his- ' family owned it. He treated me and ever body else Just as If he thought we were as goon as ne was. He wan as friend ly a anybody could be, and yet he is a man you could not really be intimate with. " ,-, '. - "Nobody around the factory ever took any liberties with... .Mr, Cochran; he's not that kind of a man. . Hut he always makes you feel that he is Interested in you ana tnat he- Is willing to help yoti along, He wants you to help yourself, though, not to do -It all for you." , One .of Mr. Cochran's social friends expressed. much the same sentiments re garding hie personality. - '"Cochran is a verv modest man," aald this man, who knows him well. "In fact, he is so modest that he is diffi dent, and this diffidence gives strangers an impression that he is haughty and firoud. As a matter of fact, these qual ties are absolutely lacking from bis makeup. It is merely that be Is very "There Is something about hfm which commands respect, not because lie has great wealth, hut slmnlv -bemtusa he vis Cochran. He would ha just the same if ne aid not nave a penny. He lias more native dignity .than any mar 1 know, and yet there is not anybody in Yonkers more democratic than he. "He is a religious roan, though not a churchman. That, he is charitable we all know, but there Is no public record of his private charities. He gives with absolute secrecy when he Is helping some poor fellow out. I never knew anybody more successful in keeping; his right hand from knowing what his left hand does, but if Anybody thinks he can prey, on Cochran's sympathies he will be rudely awakened to the man's shrewdness. "I don't believe he finds any particu lar satisfaction In the money that has come to him. Nobody outside of his own family Is likely ever to know how he regards .it, for I don't believe he con fides in anybody except his mother. But I am inclined to think that he looks upon his millions as a verv great re- SDOns1bilitV mnfA A h.ir'nn , t blessing1. I think his aim will alwavs be to do the most good with his fortune rather than to try to Increase it." ALLEGED DEFALCATION . AT PUEBLO, COLO, Pueblo, Colo.. Dec. 6.

Hurris, now under arrest charged with em bezzlement, will be slight. Is the belief of Prof. P. Hough, acting city clerk and one of the committee that has been at work for several days In an effort to straighten out the tangled condition of Harris' books. Mr. Hough, after a hard day's work over the books and after making prac tically a complete examination and check, this evening made this State ment: "All rumors that the amount involved is large are unfounded, and it wan these that alarmed his bondsmen and resulted In their complaint against Har ris. The full report of the committee will be made to the council at Its regu lar meeting next Monday. The short age. If any. will be trifling and no -au thorized statement will go out before them. From what can be learned from out side sources, Harris' shortage, will not be. in excess of $100. This, it is be lieved, will be made up by friends of tne cierK. and the entire matter settled without criminal action. Harris' friends contend that he had no Intention other than honest ones and that it Is a case of poor bookkeeping. VAII ZAIITE AIIO BRIDE AT HUME 3Iunicipal Judge Returns From His Trip-to Iowa .
