Young Mis Cath erine Barker must be added to the gal axy of Ame icau heiresses, if. Indeed, she Is not the brightest gem in that array of beauty and wealth. Her father, John H. Barker, wao died Saturday, bequeathed $30,000,000, hla entire fortune, to Miss Catherine, 14 fear old. She is tbe richest girl or unmarried woman in the country probably and one of the wealthiest In the world. ' , Thirty million dollars is at least double tbe fortune of Mia Helen Gould of New York, three times that of Miss Jennie Crokcr of San Fran cisco and 15 timet that of Mlsa Doro thy Whitney of New York. By the time Miss Barker cornea of age, even ot marriageable age, her wealth will bare increased vastly. Her father's will made tbe First Trust and Savings bank her guardian and manager of her estate, and that Insti tution la noted foe Its conservative administration. Hfefever, those who know M!rs Barker beat say money cannot "spoil her." Ome called her a "home girl" yesterday and added: "8he wil .remain Catherine; never will she tecoiae Katherine." John H. Barker was a son of John Barker, who started the Haskell-Baf-ker Car company at Michigan City. IndV Dying, John Ba.ker left the bu tlnesa'to hts sons, John H. and Wal lace Barker. When bis brother died John II. Barker became sole owner of the concern, which builds every thing on wheels, from a palace car to a narrow gauge dump car. While ex panding the profitable business to the limit of It production, John H. Bar ker Invested heavily In bank stocks nd his wealth Increased rapidly. He ws charitable and generous, but left a Titanic fortune. Mis Catberlue' mother died last June. I'p to that time tbe girl attend ed private school la Detroit. Since then a trusts friend of the Barker family has been Mlaa Catherine's guide, philosopher and duenna. Her education la being completed under governnrsses. Her father, accustomed to having his own way, waa always willing to pay to bave it. Hi favorite niece.
