JOHN D. WORTH OVER $250,000,000
His Business Manager Says Income
Doesn't Exceed $20,000,000.
New York, Feb. 22.—The magnitude
of John D. Rockefeller’s fortune was
reported in an inquiry here. In reply
to a question, Frederick T. Gates, Mr.
Bogketallors business representative,
“There have been a great many
amusing misstatements on this sub-
Ject. Quite recently a statement has
been made and published widely
throughout the country that his an-
nual income exceeds $100,000,000. Now
the facts are that Mr. Rockefeller has
at various times himself authorized a
statement that his fortune cannot ex-
ceed $250,000,000 to $253,000,000. Fur-
thermore, his income instead of being
$100,000,000, or anything like it, can-
not in his most prosperous year have
exceeded $15,000,000 to $20,000,000.
The public generally are under the
impression that he owns a majority
of the Standard Oil stock. The facts
arc that Mr. Rockefeller’s holdings of
Standard Oil stock are about 20 per
cent.”
64 PASSENGERS WERE INJURED
Johnstown, Pa., Feb. 25.—In one of
the most remarkable and miraculous
wrecks that has ever occurred on the
Pennsylvania railroad, 54 passengers
were more or less injured when the
Pennsylvania special, the palatial 18-
hour train between New York and
Chicago was wrecked while rounding
a sharp curve near South Fork, six
miles from this city.
Of the injured passengers seven sus-
tained serious hurts necessitating their
removal to hospitals. They are Fred-
erick A. Busse, postmaster of Chicago;
John F. Kline, postmaster of Jolit, IIL;
Felix Isman, real estate broker, Phila-
delphia, and Samuel F. Nixon, Phila-
delphia, taken to the Altoona hospital.
Thomas Bauer, Lafayette, Ind.; J.
Wood Wilson, Maricn, Ind., and W. H.
Baker, Chicago, are in the Allegheny
General hospital at Pittsburg.
All of the injured passengers except
those mentioned above were sent to
Pittsburg on the first section of the
St. Louis express. The train was run-
ning about 50 minutes late and was
traveling over 50 miles an hour when
it reached the curve. The accident was
caused by a brake rigging dropping
to the track on the first Pullman
coach following the engine and com-
bination smoking car. The great speed
and weight of the train tore up the
tracks and steel ties for a distance of
300 feet. The engine and smoking car
remained on the rails, but the three
Pullman coaches plunged from the
track down, over a 60-foot embank-
ment, where they rolled over and over
onto the thick ice covering the Cone-
maugh river.
Much disorder followed the accident,
which was greatly increased by the
attempts of the railroad officials to pre-
vent the newspaper men from getting
at the facts.
In the midst of the confusion a num-
ber of foreigners were detected plun-
dering the Pullman cars. One was ar-
| rested and the others driven away by
| a disulay of firearms.
Considerable jewelry and valuable
wearing apparel will be lost as a re-
sult, however.
All the passengers were thankful
and happy that they had escaped
death, and Rev. Edward Cope, of Phil-
adelphia, conducted brief services on
the relief train, in which he thanked
God for their deliverance.
The cars did not overturn going
down the steep hill. There were no
trees or obstructions in the way to
hinder them and they remained up-
right until they reached the bottom.
The first car overturned and slid along
on its side for quite a distance. The
second car did likewise. The third
car turned over completely and had its
top crushed in. The fourth car is on
its side. Most of the passengers on the
train were in their berths when the
cars left the tracks.
The cars went through the heavy
ice on the river, but there was so lit-
tle water that there was no danger
of drowning. The locomotive and com-4
bination car remained on the tracks,
SAY PENNSY MEN LOOTED
Three Employes Accucsed of Stealing
From Wreck Victims.
Johnstown, Pa., Feb. 26,—Passenger
Flagman C. E. Hoover, who gave the
first news of the wreck of the Penn-
sylvania special Saturday morning, is
under arrest, charged with larceny.
Detective Charles A. Robinson alleges
that Hoover had in his possession a
lady's watch with diamond settings
worth $1500 and over a dozen small ar-
ticles of fair value. He said he in-
tended to turn the articles over to the
high officials, and the police here arc
inclined to believe him. Two other
railroaders, Vincent Sherlock, a freight
brakeman, and Michael Burke, a rail-
the Elmwood avenue entrance to Dela
ware Park.
The dead are: Mrs. William H.
Drummer, 28 years old; Authony
Beiter, 13 years old; Richard Beiter,
12 years old, Anthony's brother, and
Ruth Drummer, 14 years old, Mrs.
Drummer’s stepdaughter.
Mrs. Drummer, with several chil
dren, was walking on the ice toward
Delaware Park. At the Elmwood ave-
nue viaduct over the creek the ice
suddenly gave way under Ruth and the
two Beiter boys, throwing them into
the water. Mrs. Drummer was about
20 feet away with her 4-year-old son,
Walter. Mrs. Drummer ran to the res-
cue of the three children. In her ef-
forts to save them she broke through
the ice, and little Walter, who had
toddied after his mother, fell in after
her. Walter clung to the edge of the
fce and was rescued. Mrs. Drummer
was unconscoius when taken from the
water and died shortly afterward. The
bodies of the others were recovered.

BLERKS ARE UNDER SUSPICION
Chicago, Feb. 26.—One ‘of the larg-
est, if pot the largest, thefts from the
United States treasury has been un-
earthed in Chicago. Somewhere be-
tween $170,000 and $175,000 was stolen
from the local sub-treasury last week.
The money has disappeared as com-
pletely as if it had vanished from the
face of the earth.
When interviewed in regard to the
robbery, Sub-Treasurer Boldenweck
admitted that a theft of $173,000 had
been perpetrated, but refused to go
into details.
Mr, Boldenweck declared later that
it had been definitely determined just
where the shortage occurred, but he
declined to say where it had been
traced. He declared himself positive,
howewver, that the money had never
reached the vaults. He said that the
only reason for believing that the
stolen money had been in bills of
large denomination was that it would
have been impossible for anybody to
take $173,000 from the office in small
bills and escaped detection, but that
a package of $173,000 in $1000 bills
could have been carried about the
person easily without exciting sus-
picion.
“It is true that what I and other
government officials believe to be a
gigantic steal has been perpetrated in
the sub-treasury,” he said. “The
amount, I believe, will be $173,000. At
present I cannot go into details as to
what work we have done in the case
or what method of procedure Chief
Wilkie, Captain Porter and their men
will pursue.
“We discovered the shortage last
Wednesday when the books of the sub-
treasury were balanced for the day.
There is a possibility that the shortage
is due to an error of a bookkeeper,
but I am inclined to believe that a
robbery has been committed. The
money was in large denominations as
far as I have learned, currency bills
of $1000, $5000 and $10,000 each.”
Every man who could have had any-
thing to do with the case was called
into Treasurer Boldenweck’s office and
put through an exhaustive examination
and a still more rigid cross-examina-
tion.
They stood the ordeal, every one of
the. All denied any knowledge of the
theft and protested their innocence
with unanimity and vociferousness.
But it was perfectly obvious that some
one was lying. The chances were 1000
to 1 that one or more of the employes
actually had purloined the cash or had
road hand, were also arrested on a
charge of looting the Pullmans. Both
men were released on bail. Burke had
two diamond pins worth $1500 about
him, while Sherlock had a fine over-
coat.
