It was com puted on .Mondav and Vice President Holden was cho'-en to make the pre sentation yesterday. UK WAS NOTIFIKI. Thesp details having been arranged, it was thought best not to take the enerable president entirely by sur prise, so his son, Samuel Sloan, Jr., was asked to Inform hlrf father on Wednesday nlcht that the pres'ntn tion wns to take place next morning. Young Mr. Sloan did as requested and be was quite taken aback by his fa ther's reception of the news. The old gMitlemnn said: "What do they want to give ine a present for? I've done nothing to de serve anything like this. If I had theie would be some sense In the thing. They can't afford to do this. I don't want It. and. whnt's more, you can go back and tell those who sent you here that I won't accept it." This was a stunner, and young Mr. Sloan concluded to let his father sleep over the matter and tackle him again 1 efore he went downtown yesterday morning. A night's rest had made no difference In Mr. Sloan's determination not to cnept the gift. Finding this out, the son consulted Mr. Holden. The vice president said lv 'd llx It all right, and Immediately repaired to the pres ident's nfllce. Hut Mr. Holden couldn't llx It. He labored a long time with Mr. Sloan, but the latter wouldn't bo taken Into receiving the present. Coming out of th- president's office, Mr. Holden called the committee to gether and told them what Mr. Sloan had said. The committee didn't know what, to do. Finally some one suggest ed that when Mr. Sloan went out to luncheon the ervlce be can led into his ( lllce and set upon his desk with a card telling the purpose of the present and from whom It came. "That won't do." one of the commit tee Is quoted as saying. "You can't drive the old man an Inch, and he'd just send II back." Mil. SLOAN CONSKNTKD. Somebody else suggested that the ser vice be sent to Mr. Sloan's home. This was also thought Inadvisable, and at length it was decided to let the matter rest for a few hours. Mr. Holdm prom ised to see Mr. Sloan again In the meantime. He did so. One or two oth er otllcers of the company put In a word, and finally Mr. Sloan was pre vailed upon to accept the gift. The pies ntatlon took place In his ofllce at J o'clock, Mr. Holden making the pre sentation speech. Mr. Sloan tried to reply, but a frog in his throat, or something else, made It Impossible for him to say much more than "Thank Aftei the presentation had b-en made It was learned that the real reason for Mr. Sloan's objection to accepting the gift was that he !elt that the majority of those who had contributed to It rould ill afford to do so. He Is quoted as stiylng: "I have been told that this present eo.u thousands ot dollars. That Is all veiy well, but bi'e the acceptance of H wo. ild make Ui!- the most menior p.l ile f l.rlMtin.u nr..
