The Metropolis This Year A
Fourth of July. Enc
. Concentrat
8pecial to the Daily News.
NEW] YORK. Jnne 15.?-Nothing
could lltoitfrate more clearly the
cosmopolitan character and vastnoss
f Sew' York City's popluation and
\ the enormous wealth concentrated in
this metropolis than the list recently
published of the estates which have
-contributed to the funds of the State
since the passage of the Inheritance
tax law. Hie number of estates exgj
ceedlng <1.000,000 each la rtm^kably
great, but that is pot the most
striking ffeature of the list was left
1 by .g man whose name was hardly
ever mentioned in public pnat and
tor whom bat few persons in or out.
aide of New York; had ever heard.
According to the hat John 8. Kennedy
left an estate valued at |<5.528,000.
upon which the prescribed
inheritance tax was paid. It seems
L strange that a man of snefc enormous
. wealth could manage to Escape pubI
-licity so effectively that he remained
et perfect straager to the great
mila nf Maw York's Inhnkltnnta Of.
course, his name was by no means
unknown In certain business circles,
but although it was quite well understood
In the financial district that
Mr. Kennedy was a capitalist of varled
and Important Interests, the magnitude
of the fortune left by Mr.
\ Kennedy wajt a surprise even to
those Intimately connected with his
business transactions. N '
i Although the police authorities for
years hare carried on a fitful campaign
against the numerous gangs of
toughs, gamblers and criminals infesting
certain popnlous districts of
New York City, they hare never been
able to exterminate theee dangerous
cliquee. Every now and then, however,
the gangsters themselves come
to the assistance of the police by
starting a bloody war among themselves.
Whenever < rival gangs begin
to'fight It usually means that
some of the gaogsters are hurt or
killed, to the complete satisfaction of
the authorities and of all respectable
citizens. Unfortunately theee feuds
ore not frequent enough, nor are
t they conducted with adequate ferocity.
Just now eevern) gangs are
fighting each other, in the lower part
of Manhattan apd el both sides a
number of Muster* have been "done
np." Were It not for the fast that
the gangsters nee pistols and dyne,
alto bombs as their weapons and
thereby endanger the Hfb and limb
of Innocent bystanders, it would lis
good policy nob to , interfere with
fer their war. *
Burning candles surrounding the
bier of a young sagrrled woman in
an apartment on the tower West side
set fire to the draperies and curtains
of the room the other night
and before tM true 'was discovered
K had progreaeed so far that- the bereaved
husband and hto mother were
seriously burned In their attempt to
am the body of tlfr young woman

At the hearing It was stated that the
man was a widower and that > his
daughter, besides going to school,
kept house for her father. Whenever
the latter was displeased with
her domestic efforts he used to beat
her unmercifully and, to keep her
from running away, he often chained
her to the waahtubs in his little
flat. The other day. after her father
had gone to work, after he bad beaten
and chained her, the girl broke
her chains and fled to a family In

will probably be given a stiff sentence

came up for hearing in the Supreme

Champ Clark Still Leads
Among Other Democratic
Possibilities
NEW YOUKv June 15.?Dovelopnents
at Chicago have taken the
?oart out of the preconventlon beting
In New York. The only oonteot
>n which money was wagered around
TVall Street and In the hotels early
n the fight was the nomination, and
ilnce the throwing out of Roosevelt
:ontests few of the men who like to
ake a chance on election results are
silling to risk any money.
John A. Drake, who always stands
0 win a large sun* on national elections.
said today that betting around
he stock exchange was at a standitm.
Bryan if Roosevelt Bolts.
The odds that Taft will got the
lomination are 10 to 8. One man in
1 brokerage office in the WaldorfHetoria
bet $2,600 at odds of 8 to 5
that Taft would be elected, if there
vas no bolt. A curious bet of $500
was made at even money that Bry.
tn would be nominated at Baltimore ,
If Roosevelt were victorious in the :
Chicago convention.
A broker in a Broad street office '
laid he had bet $1,000 at even rnon- 1
ij that If Roosevelt bolted a Demo- :rat
would be elected, and that he
had $100,000 more to bet tbe same
way. Drake said he would be willing
to wager his right eye on that
proposition.
Bryan Now 5 to 1. S
William J. Bryan as a possibility
for the Democratic nomination for 1
President is gaining, favor among ?
those In the flnaUeffll district who I (
wager on political events. ""A week
Lgo Mr. Bryan's chances were quoted
at the rather unflattering odds o^
10 to 1, but now the best price which
the Broad street election bookmak- t
Bra are willing to name against the t
tine time free silver advocate is 5 to |
1. One of the leading makers of
odds today said that the Bryan price t
bad been forced down by Tammany l
mbney. and that there were not a
few men In the rfniilcial district who t
favored his chances* of winning out J
at Baltimore.
Atnong the other Democratic pos- i
libflitiee, Champ Clark still rulea
favorite at a nominal qnotation of 9 ]
to 5. with the rest of the field scattered
out behind. Oorefndr Wilson ]
baa some followers who are willing to
rfcte' their money on him. (
