HER PROLIFIC BOUNTY Recent Investigation Abroad of Worklngmen's Insurance Calls At tention Anew to Her Great Charit able.

(By Leased Wire to The Times.) New York June 8. It became known today that in less than throe years Mrs. Sage has spent more than $25,000,000, for public purposes and the benefit of mankind. The recent Investigation abroad of the question of working men's insurance and the establishment of a gigantic employ ment bureau call attention anew to her prolific bounty. It took Russell Sage 50 years to get $65,000,000. This great sum rep resented the pinching and .scraping together of what amounted to $:s,fno a day for the life time of the astute financier. Mrs. Sage is now giving away tne fortune at the rate of $25,000 a day. If the widow continues her charities at the pace she has set, all will be gone in five years. Comparison of the financier's power to make money with Mrs. Sage's faculty of giving It away shows that the widow is giving away $2 In the same time that it took Mr. Sage to accumulate the proverbial "thirty cents." , - "Large as Mrs. Russell Sage's for tune is, it will hardly cover the cost of insuring all of the workingmen In America today?" said John M. Glenn, secretary, and director of the $10. 000.000 Russell Sage Foundation, when asked concerning a rumor that the widow of the financier contem plated endowing a great Insurance for American workingmen. "But with funds from the Sage foundation we have conducted a care ful study of worklngmen's Insurance at home and abroad," he added. "This work has been going on for over a year under the direction of Dr. Lee K. Frankel, formerly general man ager of the-United Hebrew Charities, assisted by Miles M. Dawson, the well known actuary- These gentlemen will shortly make their report." . Dr. Frankel and Mr. Dawson have Visited Germany, F,ranc, (.Belgium and England. They made inquiry in to all forms of "workingmon's insur ance. The result of their investiga tion will be far-reaching and it is re garded as not at all improbable that Mrs. Sage in co-operation with some of the large employers of this-coun-try will subscribe to the Installation of a real worklngmen's Insurance, possibly compulsory on the tollers and under government supervision.

Callahan has been one of the most Influential men in Breathitt county and his friends .and followers are hurrying to Cioeketts ville from every corner, armed and ready to make the Deatons pay heav ily for their deed. His death, which is but a matter of hours,'-may .prove the signal to slay that the maddened mountaineers are waiting for.

He was in Jackson one day last week to answer a warrant served on .him for "malicious shooting" ami left as soon as his cukc was continued as he had been warned that his one mies had announced they would kill him on sight.
