I. Now Worth 9220,000,000 Mrs. Harrimaa Richest Woman in the World.. .- . - ' ' (By Leased Wire to The Times.) New York, Dec 23 The estate ot E. H. Harriman, the late railroad wizard, today la worth $220,000,000; at the time of his death last fall, the 1 A JEWRKY total was more than 1200,300.000. This was learned today from a for mer associate of Mr. llarrima'n . The magnate's widow today is the richest woman in the world. "The discrepancy between the value of the estate as appraised, $H.000,OOO and the actual wealtu Mr. Haniman left, $200,000,000.'' said the former associate of the wiz ard today, "was caused by tiie fact that shortly before his death Mr. Harriman transferred to his wife and eldest son .".0.000,000. "Since his death, the securities which form the backbone of the for tune have so appreciated in value that that fully $20,000,000 is added io the total." At the time of his death, many estimates of Mr. Harrington's for tune were made, the figures running from $60,000,000 to $160,000,000. That the appraised value was short by $")0,000,000 of the actual fortune he left was not suspected, however. That Mrs. Harriman is the richest woman on the globe is without doubt. Bertha Krupp, (now Frau VonHal bach). daughter of the German gun ma :ter, is credited with a fortune of betwen $150,000,000 and $200,000, 000. Hetty Green is reported to have from $50,000,000 to 70,000, 00 and -Mrs. Russell Sage" received from her husband's estate about as much, but has spent $25,000,000 al ready and is declared to be fast get ting rid of the inheritance.

There is no doubt that the fitness of Mr. Bollinger, for his posi tion is questioned by those who have given heed to his accusers; he must clear his skins. Yesterday's dispatches from Wash ington, taking their color as 'usual from the administration, represented the secretary of the interior as using little less that physical force to com pel President Tuft to order a public Investigation of the charges against Ballinger. Reading the subsequent lines of the Washington story, and between them, ope must wonder at the sudden anxiety of Mr. Ballinger for an investigation and the righteous wrath that caused him to deliver to the president an "ultimatum to the effect that such an investigation war. indeed the price of his remaining in the cab inet." ...... As a matter of fact, the secretary of the interior was driven from cover 'by the tremendous force of public sentiment created against him during the last month by a (section of the press of which .Collier's Weekly is the leader. Broadside following broadside made not only Ballinger's position ut terly untenable' but shook the entire works yof the administration, and menaced President Taft himself. Ac cording to the Associated Press: "Mr. Taft. it is said, admitted the disappointment of his hope that the country at large would accept us final his own vindication of Mr. Ballinger." Again: "Leading Republicans in both branches of Congress" felt that "a festering sore of this character must poison the whole system of the party in power, and that it is high time to re sort to the lance." Again "A close friend pressed upon the rcc retary the conviction that the time had Come when, he was bound to de mand an investigation or retire to private life." The other members of the cabinet entertained the same view. We do not recall a more clean cut. definite exposition of the potency of the press to force the powerful agen cies of a powerful administration to publicity take action directly contrary to its policy and desires. Ten, even, Ave years ago, whitewash might have been successfully applied in such cares as Ballinger's Is alleged to be, but the people are gradually opening their eyes and demanding more and more light, and a stricter accounting from their public servants. If Ballinger is proved unworthy, we shall feel sorry for Mr. Taft. His vin dication of Ballinger was far too hasty but it was done out of the slmpleness of his heart, and his belief in the man who has his ear and pleaded his in nocence earnestly. The powers that be are wise, very wire, in concluding that no star cham ber proceedings will be tolerated In the Ballinger investigation. It will have to be wide open, and it will have to go deep. Components of the ad ministration are ' astute enought to understand that it is beter to let Bal linger go down by himself 'than that all would sink In the attempt to res cue htm. Columbia Stat.

In the trinity of rights enumerated in the Declaration i.,f Independence, life pieceeds liberty. That it may be the duty of the state to restrict in dividual liberty for the preservation of llfi' is the proposition enunciated by Louis D. ItrandeiM of Boston In support of the Illinois statute limit ing to 10 the, working hours of women employes. His task was to demon strate that such a law Is essential, to health, morals, and general welfare. To support this proposition, there is adduced an ana- of medical testimony to prove that there is a definite toxin of fatigue, analogous in chemical and physical natureto other bacterial pois ons: that is injection into animals In sufficient quantity will cause death, and that normal fatigue is counteract ed by the presence in the human body of a natural antitoxin, which Is not produced fast enough to counteract the poison of abnormal fatigue. Upon this basis is demonstrated the special liability of women to nervous and mus cular fatigue by excessively long hours of labor. Hence is proved Scientifically the necessity of reel in the interest of life. This is going much further than to prove thai the regulation of hours of labor for women produces, moral, so cial und physical benefits. That Is a proposition of importance to the health of the living; as well as of future gen erations. Rut this demonstration would seem to establish the. duty as I well as the right of the state, us the I guardian of life, to restrict the liberty or tne individual, this is an accom- complete well-rounded man.

As representative of tho Sunday school union Dr. James E, Shepard wondered why a few of the negroes have mado such marvelous headway, while the millions were still industriously and educationally where they were 30 years ago. He observed that nine-tenths of the lead ers of the race, the ureachers. are Ik 1 norant. A remodv enme In his mind A movement is well under way to give the negroes a new school cover ing a field that has thus far been neg lected. It is religious without being sectarian. It aims to educate the leaders of the race that they, through precept und example, may influence the millions. A basic principle of the new institution is "Change the man and the environment will be changed by the man". The head, the heart, the hand should be educated.

No school for negroes has ever had such liberality shown to it so early in its formation.

They also issued an appeal for more money. Dr. James E. Shepard, the president-elect, la one of the best known leaders of the race In the south.
