.times within the last few years numer
ous rumors have been set afloat of Mr.

1899, Mr. Sage said: : ■

a little money by affecting stock values
and they hit on this old trick."
Asked If stocks had been much af
fected he answered: *
■"I understand not. The properties In
•which I am Interested cannot be seri

HOW FORTUNE WAS AMASSED
Multi. Millionaire Starts Life as an
Errand Boy
Russell Sage, multi-millionaire and
nestor of American financiers, was born
on August 4, 1816, in Verona, Oneida
county, New York, where his parents,
Eliza and Prudence Sage, members of a
little company of pioneers from Con
necticut, had halted while, on their
westward march in quest of a home
stead.
At the age of 12 Russell Sage began
his career as errand boy In the grocery
store of his brother, Henry, In Troy.
;At the age of 22 he established a
wholesale grocery of his own in that
place.
In 1857 the young merchant had ac
cumulated a ■ fortune of about a half
million— a great sum for those' days —
and began to retire from active busi
ness. He had already become Inter
ested ■ In railways, his first transaction
of this character being a loan to tho La
Crossa Railroad comparly, which led to
further transactions resulting In his
acquiring large Interests In the roads
now forming the Chicago, Milwaukee
'& St. Paul system, of which he became
vice president.
Opens Office in Wall Street
This determined Mr. Sage to devote
his time to business In Wall street, and
in 1866 he opened his office In New York.
About that time he formed an asso
ciation with Jay Oould, which con
tinued several years.
■•In ..1867 "he organized the present
method of trading In "putß," "calls"
and "straddles," in which he dealt later
on an extensive scale.
When he purchased a seat on the
New York stock exchange In 1874 it pro
vided that he never appear on the floor
of the exchange. Only once, it is said,
did Mr. Sage experience a tremendous
loss which would have shaken another
man, but from which he emerged with
confidence unshnkpn.
From that memorable day in 1884,
when 'the great failure of Grant &
Ward was announced, resulting In the
loss to Mr. Sage of about $6,000,000, his
operations necessitating the possession
of a vast amount of ready capital, Mr.
Sage always kept his resources well In
hand, so that In case of an emergency
he who able to control utmost unlimited
funds.
Interested In Many Railways
At the time of his death Mr. Sage
was an officer and director in twenty
five great railroad and telegraph cor
porations, t
An incident occurred In Mr. Sage's
office at 71 Broadway on December 4,
1891. On that day he was visited by
Henry P. Norcross of Boston, a man of
unbalanced mind, who demanded an
Immediate gift of $1,200,000. When the
demand was refused, Norcross dropped
a dynamite bomb on the floor. The ex
plosion which followed decapitated
Norcross, killed one of the clerks and
wrecked the entire office. Mr. Sage
was only slightly injured by the explo
sion.
For many years Mr. Sage occupied
during the winter an old-fashioned
brownstone | mansion at 606 Fifth ave
nue, from which he was reluctantly
compelled to move 'about four years
ago, owing to the . Invasion of com
merce, His summers were spent at the
Los Angeles Herald.

died.
Mr. Rnge was mi#rled in 1841 to Miss
May Wynne, daughter *of Moses I.
Wynne of Troy. His wife died In New
York city In 1867, and two years later
he married Margaret Olivia, daughter
of Joseph Slocum of Syracuse.
FORTUNE EXCEEDS $100,000,000
Deceased's Wealth Mostly in Cash
and Bonds
Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, July 22.— The fortune
of Russell Sage has been variously
estimated, but no one knows Its exact
proportions, as It Is not so Invested as
to be in view of outsiders. It will, un
doubtedly, exceed $100,000,000, nnd those
best in position to estimate it say it will
be found to be chiefly In cash, bonds
nnd gilt-edped securities.
Russel Sage had no children, and his
relatives have never been lett to believe
that at his death they would share in
the distribution of- his- great- fortune.
He had never personally done any
notable charities nor contributed to any
considerable extent; to educational .or
philanthropic purposes, but each year
he set nside a large sum which his wife
dispensed along those lines. • •
It has been reported thnt Sage once
said, in a burst of confidence to a close
friend, that when he died he would'so
dispose of his fortune as to leave an
enduring monument to his memory. , '
His will has long been made. It was
drawn 1 by the late Almon P. Goodwin
nnd is now in,... charge ■"• of _ Attorney
Henry "Thompson, who has gone'Mo
Spain... , ■.■ ■ ■ .'.-; „<■'■■
. Thompson's law. partners refused to
talk about the will today. There are
three executors,- Mrs. Snge, Charles W.
Osborne, for many, years Sage's cashier
and confidential man, and Dr. Munn.
It Is stated that Mrs. Sage is left, in
entire control of the fortune, therefore
it may be expected the fortune Is to be
devoted to philanthropic purposes un
der her personal direction. , .
HILL RAILROADS
ARE 'SWAMPED'
LUMBER TRAFFIC INCREASES
RAPIDLY
Freight In Many Washington Cities Is
Congested to an Alarming
Extent — More Engines
Needed i
Special to The Herald.
TACOMA, Wash., July 22.—Washing
ton's lumber traffic has J Increased so
rapidly that the Hill railroads are un
able to move loaded cars across the
mountains and out of the state as fast
as they are assembled from the main
and branch Uneß ; radiating from Ta
coma.
Not until a large number of engines
now building for the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern are delivered and
put Into service next winter can these
railroads keop their yards free from
congested freight.
On side tracks between Tacoma and
Ellensnurg, a distance of one hundred
miles, tlr.ree thousand carloads of east
bound freight, comprising lumbor
chiefly, are now awaiting shipment.
The mills are getting cars almost a 9
fast as needed, but the motive power of
the railroads Is Insufficient to keep the
roads clear. Trains are kept moving
almost without interruption through
Stampede and Cascade tunnels. 'It Is
doubtful If tho congestion can be
avoided -until Hill's' north' bank rail
road down the; Columbia river Is com
pleted, giving another line across the
state. '

', I nterests
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July 22.— The execu
tive council 'of the American Federation
of Labor today made good Its declara
tion of several measures to enter the
field of polities' ln the interest of a
trades union movement, , and to urge all
friends of . organized labor to elect to
political offices men known to be favor
able to labor's cause.
At the . headquarters of the federa
tion the council today Issued it's "cam
paign programme," addressed "to all
organized labor and friends In the
United States."
It sets out that the trades union
movement has kept and proposes to
keep pace with the rapid changes in
Industrial affairs, and that the. working'
people cannot hope to maintain their
rights or a progressive position in this
varying phases of modern society unless
they organize and exercise all those
functions which, as workmen and citi
zens. It is their privilege and their duty
to exercise.
Seeks Fair Play
It Is declared that labor makes no
demand on government and society
which Is not equally accorded to all
the people of this country and that "It
can and will be satisfied with nothing
leas."
The proposed campaign is based upon
the allegation that little attention has
been paid to the enactment of laws
prepared by organized labor and pre
sented for relief of those wrongs and
the attainment of the rights to which
labor and the common people are justly
entitled and which are essentially neces
sary for their welfare.
The council issued a word of warning
that the movement must not degenerate
Into a scramble for offices, but that It
should "be a determined effort, free ab-
Bolutely from all partisanship of every
name and character to secure the legis
lation we demand as neccessary and es
sential to the welfare and happiness of
all our people." • '
It says expressly that if a congress
man or state legislator has proven him
self a true friend to the rights of labor,
he should be supported, and no candi
date nominated against him.

lution under promise of land, summons
the "Faithful Sons of Holy . Russia."
Many liberals consider this. a direct
indictment of the Black Hundreds.
In spite of this excitement' the 'day
passed with comparative quiet in the
capital, and street rioting only began
with the advent of darkness, but the
collisions generally were on a small
scale. ShK3§3BR
At Sedovla crowds with stones had
the gendarmes and police on the run,;
when a squad of Cossacks dispersed the
mob with their whips.
' About midnight " there were rumes
of heavier fighting at the Narva gate,
where the massacres of the followers of
Father Gapon took place . sixteen
months ago today. , The troops are said
to have fired several volleys, and it Is
reported that there were a number of
casualties. " %?'?'?-
Many Rumors Circulated
• Tonight - stories were lndustrlous'v
spread that ' the emperor's ; final ; de
cision to dissolve parliament was not
taken until he had communicated with
Berlin. .'According to one story a mem
ber;'cf the"; German 1 embassy ; went: to
the telegraph* office Saturday nigrht and
engaged a wire for direct" eornmunVa
ticn with Kmperor William, ; and only
alter receiving and transmitting- a iflJO
v/ord dispatch : from Emperor i William :
to Emperor Nicholas was the uka so
finally signed. ' ' " ,-:/; :
. The Inference Intended to be drawn
is ■ that ' Emperor William •is Emperor
Nicholas' evil genius and- false adviser.
The trouble with . this story is i that
the sovereigns would not be: forced; to
resort to such roundabout methods of
communication, as direct : • wires are
available at Peterhof.
Besides, the story Is traceable to
sources which usually seek to make
Emperor ■William responsible for all of
Europe's ills. .
The status ' of the council of the em
pire seems to be In doubt. Neither the
ukase nor the manifesto mentions it,
but whether this was by design or over
sight has not ' yet been cleared up. As
a co-ordinate branch of parliament it
must be adjourned or dissolved when
the lower house Is prorogued.' but it re
mains to be seen whether new elections
will be ordered for the upper chamber.
The Associated Press learns that the
council of the empire is considered ' to
be in recess, but that special depart
ments of the council composed of ap
pointed members will continue sitting.
