New York — Mrs. Hetty Green,
known as the world’s wealthiest wo
man, whose fortune ie estimated as
high aa $100,000,000, died here Mon
day, aged 80 years.
She had suffered
three strokes of paralysis ’ in the last
two months and for several weeks had
been practically helpless.
Her death occurred at H :06 o ’clock
at the home of her son, Colonel Ed
ward 11. K. Green, adjoining the plain
brick four-story house on the corner of
Central Park West, where Mrs. Green
had lived lately in seclusion, except
for her son and several Japanese serv
ants and trained nurses.
Wall street's estimates o f Mrs.
Green's fortune range from $20,000,-
000 to $100,000,000. Officials of the
Chemical National bank, In which Mrs.
Green once made her downtown head
quarters, declined to hasard a guess
concerning the size of her estate.
Hetty Green was the world’s most
remarkable mistress of finance. The
richest woman in America, she lived
almost as frugally as u shop-girl. Her
home was wherever she chose for n
time to hang her little black crepe and
bonnet, often in the hall bedroom of
some cheap boarding house or in some
remote and modest flat around New
York.
Mrs. Green's eccentric extremes of
economy led to the popular misconcep
tion o f her as a “ self-made woman.”
As a matter of fact she was burn rich.
In 1865 she inherietd some $10,000,-
000, which accumulated upon Itself
until in 50 years it had multiplied
nearly ten times. She also inherited
family traditions which had been a
pride for three centuries, and vriiich
she was anxious to perpetuate in her
children.
Blome for Recent Irish Uprising
Placed by Royal Commission
I/ondon — The Royal
commission
which investiagted the Irish rebellion
in its report submitted Tuesday says
the responsibility for the outbreak
does not rest with Baron Wimborne,
the lord lieutenant, since resigned,
who is declared to have been in no way
answerable for the policy of the gov
ernment.
The chief secretary for Ireland, Au
gustine Birrell, who resigned shortly
after the suppression of the outbreak,
was primarily responsible, say the re
port.
The Royal commission was presided
over by Baron Hardings.
Outlining
the causes of the outbreak in Ireland,
the report says:
“ The fact should be borne in mind
that there is always a section of opin
ion in that country bitterly opposed to
British connection and that in times
of excitement this section can impose
its sentiments on largely increased
numbers of the poeple.”
The report points out that it is out
side the scope of the commission's in
structions to inquire how far the policy
of the Irish executive was adpoted by
the cabinet, or to attach responsibility
to any but the civil and military exec
utive in Ireland.
The report then
gives these conclusions:
“ That the main cause of the rebel
lion appears to be that lawlessness
was allowed to grow up unchecked and
that Ireland for several years had been
administered on the principle that it
was safer and more exi>edient to leave
the law in abeyance if a collision with
any faction of the Irish people could
therefore be avoided.”
The importation of large quantities
of arms into Ireland and the toleration
o f drilling by large bodies of men, the
report says, created conditions which
rendered possible the recent troubles
in Dublin and elsewhere.
“ It appears to u s," said the commis
sioners, “ that reluctance was shown
by the Irish government to repress by
prosecution written and spoken utter
ances and to suppress drilling and
maneuvering o f armed forces known to
be under control of men who o|>enly
were declaring their hostility to your
majesty’s government.
“ There developed widespread belief
that no repressive measures would be
undertaken by the government against
sedition.
“ This led to a rapid increase of
preparation for insurrection and was
the immediate cruse of the recent out
break. We are of the opinion that on
the outbreak of the war all drilling
and maneuvering by unrecognized bod
ies o f men, whether armed or un
armed, should have been strictly pro
hibited.”
British Capture Fritourt From Germons
After Desperate Bottle.

Teutons Retreat Before French Drive
Near Hardecourt — Lose Many
Trenches Also to British.
I,ondon Fricourt, three miles oast
