t 517,000,000 to J2O.O00.00O. Cover
ing an ncre of ground and containing
a bcnutlful arcado of polished granite,
onyx nnd Italian marble, It occupied
an entire block, surrounded by Broad

and for decades, until the erection of
the great skyscrapers, was one of Uie
most Imposing buildings In tho city.

It contained the rooms of tho Law
yers' club and had a law library of
13,000 volumes, together with scores
f valuable paintings.
Held Harriman Offices.
Financiers of national reputation
had offices in the Equitable building
for years. From offices there E. II.
Harriman for years directed the affairs
of his system of railroads.
Erected In 1SG0, the original building
covered only one-half of tho Broad
way front of tho block, adjoining
the Pine street corner, but It was ex
tended nnd remodelled in 1SS7 so as to
cover the entire block.
It was then rcp-.rded as one of the
city's structural marvels and contain
ed COO otllces. A part of the old build
ing had been torn down and extensive
additions made, producing n structure
eleven stories high, with approximate
ly 1G0 feet frontago on Broadway nnd
310 feet depth, running through to
Nussau street.
Its most notable feature after remod
eling was the splendid arcade, whleh
was opened on May 3, 1S87. This
composed a court 100 feet long. 44
feet wide and 30 feet high. Its walls
of highly polished granite, with rows
of double pillars of tho same mate-
rlal, extending along Its sides. The
capitals of those pillars were of Al

the finest of its kind In the country, j
It consisted of the draped figure of a
woman, at each side of which was the i

less." Plans were made in 1D08 to tear
down the building and erect in its
place a sixty-two story structure which
wns to he 00!) fet In hlht nnd to I
cost $15,000,000, consisting of a main
building 489 feet high, of thirty-four
stories, and a tower of twonty-elght
stories, with a cupola 420 foct high.
These plans, however, wero abandon
ed. The great war against the insurance
companies which resulted in a legis
lative investigation conducted by
Charles E. Hughes and in extensive
reforms of the Insurance business 1
throughout the country had Its lncep
tion In the Equitable building and be
gan In a struggle between James Iln- J
zeu Hyde and James W. Alexander. '
its chief official, for the stock of the
society.
As a result of this struggle Hyde .
was forced out of the ownership of
the society nnd sold It to Thomas K j
Ryan.
The late 15. II. Harriman testified at ,
the insurance Investigation that he
attempted to Induce Mr. Hyan to sell i
him a part Interest In the society, but
Mr. Ryan declined, and Mr. narriman,
when asked If he had squared the uc
count with Mr Ityan for his refusal,
answered, "Not yet."
After retaining Its ownership for sev
eral years Mr. Ityan sold control of
the society to J. P. Morgan In 1900.
and Mr. Morgan U now belloved to be
its owner.

Building n Itnilrond All By Himself.
Jctmoro. Kan. Rudolph Myers,
the man who is building a railroad
west from this city all by himself,
has purchased moro right of way and
is pushing his grade westward.
Myers' objective is Garden City, 54
miles southwest of Jotmor6. Already
ho has graded moro than four miles
of the roadbed, most of which re
quired heavy cutting and filling. Ho
expects to build at least 10 miles the
coming year, most of tho right of
way being over level land. Myers
has never taken anybody into his
confidence slnco ho began work on
the road. He has used only his
own 'money and his own labor, and
he appears to have all the money he
needs. Ho has never employed any
help, doing all the grading himself
with a Tour-mule team and a wheel
ed scraper. The peoplo hereabouts
are very cuNouf, but Meyers has
never given them tho slightest idea
of his plans. All ho has ever said
is that ho Is grading a railroad to
Garden City.
Myers Is 50 years old, a Kansan
horn. 'Ho came to Jctmoro four
years ago and about three years ago
uegan acquiring the right of way for
his road, his first purchase being 30
acres, for which he nald $30 an aero.
Thero was one hill 30 feet In height
on this right of way, through which i
Myers has cut, using the earth ex
cavated to make a fill over a ravino
some 4 0 feet deep. For the re
mainder of tho distance there are
few hills or ravines.

FOE OF GOLLEG
Advocated Burning of Higher
Educational Institutions,
HEAD OF A BIG CONCERN,
Qavs Employment to Six Thousand
Persons Carnegie His Pet Aversion.
His Sensational Attacks on Harvard
and Other Colleges.
Richard T. Crane, head of the Crane
company of Chicago, who died recent
ly, was a foe of universities and higher
educational institutions,
"Burn the colleges nnd use the mon
ey they spend for better purposes," de
clared this self made Ironmaster. Col
lege men of all classes, he believed,
tended both to inefficiency and iinuior.
allty, and in his last years he spent
much time In attempting to prove his
assertions.
The autocratic manufacturer's pet
aversion was Andrew Carnegie, broth
er Ironmaster, but giver of libraries
and supporter of universities. And
indeed in most respects the two men
were the direct antitheses of each oth
er. Crane was n man of powerful
frame, thickset, sinewy and agile al
most to the day of his denth nt eighty
years. The square head and thick
neck showed a bullheadedness of pur
pose which the keenness of eye stamp
ed ns competent of cnrrylng out.
It took this man more than fifty
years to complete tho building of his
big business with its 0,000 employees.
When it was done it was called the
Crane company, but the "company"
wns to the last Richard Teller Crane.
Other Crnnes there were in the busi
ness, but "' .J It. T.," hb he was known
to his e' .ployce associates of half a
century, was nil that counted.
He was the president of n complex
corporation, yet knew how each mn
chlne should run nnd was likely to
stop at any workman's bench nnd give
him a sharp rebuke for some shortcom
ing. Yet he was as quick to seize the
grimy hand of an old employee in
friendly greeting and talk with biin
like a fellow workman. Most of his
men he knew by their first names. He
wus a democrnt and autocrat in one.
"Academic learning beyond the es
sentials of the grammar grades In pub
lic schools is waste of time and waste
of money for tho boy who is to enter
commercial life," was the dictum of
Crane.
In a volume he published early in
1010 Mr. Crane told of the results of
un investigation into tho methods, uses
and expenses of "higher education" of
nil kinds. He charges that the mil
lions spent annually on universities,
colleges and technical and agricultural
schools and law and medical schools in
general ore swallowed up in one of tho
most gigantic "swindles" of the age.
Among other things he says: "The
college mcu talk ns though they knew
all about every other man's business
and that they could manage affairs
better than the business men them
selves. "College professors nnd teachers nro
prepared to give ndvico on nil subjects.
As $2,000 n yenr teachers they tell us
how to ttirn out $5,000 nnd $10,000 n
yenr business men. Isn't It a bit
strange flint It never has occurred to
these smart college fellows to go into
business for themselves? Why draw
n small salary for telling young men
how to drnw big salaries If you are
capnble of drawing the big salary
yourself?"
Last September he came out with his
most sensational attack, when he as
sailed the morals of the higher Insti
tutions of learning. At Harvard, he
declared, 05 per cent of tho students
drank more or less and 15 per cent
went completely to the bad. He found
conditions bad nt Yale nnd Princeton
nnd worse nt Columbia. Cornell wns
also a particular target. He found
all sort of Immorality rnmpnnt In nit
centers of learning. The storm of pro
test this nrousod among college men
has hurdly yet died away.

With tho April primaries but three
months nway, tho thoughts of the vo

wondering who tho candidates will
bo.
C. Fred Wright, of Susquehanna
county, will in all probability be a
candldato to succeed himself as stata
treasurer; Homer Greene, Hones-
dalo's fnraous author, poet and law
yer, will probably bo a candldato for
Congressman at large, and Congress
man AIney will be a candidate to suc
ceed himself. Reporter-Journal, To-
