Bradniaun Bldgv Phone A testimonial of Mr. Baker's financial assistance to tho government was given by Andrew W. Mellon, secretary of the treasury, who said: "It it were possible to express In figures Mr. Baker's contribution to his country's finance, It might convey some Impression to say that since 1917 the subscriptions ot his bank to government obligations have reached the enormous total of over $3,304,000,000 of government securt ties. "We know in Washington that on every Issue 011 the dnv the books nre opened we will receive a subscription for $25,000,100 from tho National bank of the city of New York.

It Is comforting to' feel that wo always have one friend who judgment of market conditions. It gives us confidence." Mr. Bakor began his banking career at Albany. N. where, as he related, he had a job In a small hank.

He then became a clerk In the state banking department for seven was while there In the early part of 1S63 that Salmon P. Chase, then secretary of the treasury, conceived the Idea of selling bonds through the banks, and in addition forming banks which could pledge bonds themselreri for the circulation ot currency up to 90 percent of ihe value thereof. That was the start of the national banking system. This development greatly Interested Mr. Bakor and he talked It over with Mr.

Thompson, then one of the financial leaders in New York. The latter decided to open one ot these new national banks and invited Mr. Baker to become teller, the bank helnc formed with a capital of $200.000. Mr. Thompson offered Mr.

Baker all the stock he wanted and agreed to carry It for him. but Mr. Baker refused to accept more than his accumulated savings would chase. His first investment was 30 shares of the bank's stock. In 1873 Mr.

Baker met his first great panic with tho failure ot the house of J. Cooke and company. He stood by and declared as a principle that which he has always Insisted upon and has always followed, that any panic could be averted it the banks Instead of becoming afraid and hoarding their resources would pay them out. The First National weathered that panic and it is worthy of vote that it did not Bell Its borrowers, but assisted them by private compromise. Mr.

Bakor became president of the First National in 1877 and Temalned in that position until 1909, when he resigned and was made chairman of the board- From that time on Mr. Baker be- camo a prominent figure and the First National bank a powerful factor In American financial affairs. The late Morgan began to seek his counsel and James J. Hill called upon him to aid. In the expansion ot the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific railroads.

Mr. Baker began his railroad operations in 1882 with a group, tho Richmond and Danville railroad, which ultimately went in as a basis of tho Southern.rallwayi Later ho made connections with the Central railroad of New Jersey and tho Delaware, Lackawanna, and At the height of his career Mr. Baker held directorates In 43 banks and other corporations, including the American Telephone and Telegraph company, of which ha was said to be the largest individual stock holder: the United States Steel corp oration, the Pullman company and numerous railroads. It was said that he held the record of attending more directors' meetings than any otheT financier in New York. He became chairman of the New York Clearing House In 1900.

A signal honor was paid to Mr. on'July 25,1923, on which day he completed 60 yoars of active business life in New York's financial center. The flags of the New York Clearing House association and of all the banks in the financial district were flown in his honor. He had a record extending beyond his 84th birthday of seldom having missed a business day at his office when he was in the city. He never soriously relaxed from work and showed little Interest in amusements until he took up golf at the age of 70.

However, he found to take an active part in tho affairs of many charitable and philanthropic institutions and to those he was a liberal contributor. Mr. Baker's largest single gift, mado In 1924, was $5,000,000 to the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. He' assumed the entire enwodment of this project when an appeal was made to him to assist in the campaign to raise funds, saying he was not much interested In being one of a party to do this thing, but if permitted ho would do it all himself. In May.

1922, ho gave $1,000,000 in Victory Bonds to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, tho only condition imposed being that the principal was to be held intact and the Interest used for the museum. A week later he gave $500,000 In Victory Bonds to the Society of the New York hospital, which with $250,000 given in 1912, was used for the establishment of the George F. Bakor endowment fund. On June 21. 1922, he contributed $250,000 to the endowment of tho American Museum of Natural History.

Other large gifts Included $2,000, 000 to the American Red Cros3 in 1917 and 19IS; $1,850,000 to Cornell university; $700,000 to Columbia university for the purchase ot tract of land for an athletic field known as Baker field, and $100,000 to Dartmouth college to establish an endowment In memory ot his uncle, Fisher Ames Bakor, a graduate In the class ot'lS59.

Cooper has been in charge of the department eince Brooks left the city several days ago but the superintendent, in his Clarksburg statement, said he expected to return to Charleston next week and resume his duties.

Brooks said the withdrawal of the charges against him amounted to exoneration and that the hearing in Charleston developed nothing serious againet him or his department. He planned to go to.We!rton, his former home tonight to spend the week-end. Quoting the statement he tiled with the police board in withdrawing the charges "to the end that the further continuance" ot Brooks ae head of the department, would be a matter "to be settled and determined by the governor," Byrne said "but for the facts that It was fully understood that the governor would remove Brooks the charges would never have been withdrawn."

ANTMRS. BRATTON RETURN FROM CAPITAL drive and one of the ten teams win make a canvass of the colored homes and places of business, believing that the colored people will more than reach their quota. Last year the playgrounds program in Bl-uefield was very successfn' special events of the season Including doll shows, track and field meets, a playground picnic, baseball, volley hall and horse shoe leagues, and tennis matches. There wore also hiking, nature, poster and other ground clubs. Handicraft activities included soap carving, poster making, sewing, costume making, paper cutting and note books.

Other features of the summer's program were free play for little children, supervised use of playground apparatus, instruction In all major sports, band concerts, and daily story telling periods. This year's slogan Is "a boy without a playground Is like a man with out a Job." and it is the belief of those in charge of the campaign to raise the $1200 funds that this is one form of unemployhent which Blue field can meet.

The Sunday Express In Its early editions tonight said the bodies of scions of wealthy families who died in the war were being smuggled from Belgium to England for reburial. The smugglers, the Express said, land the bodies on the Essex coast and the prices run as high as $2,500, depending on the ability of the family to pay. The war cemeteries in France and Flanders 'are visited periodically by a mourner" who selects the bodies tor exhumation, the newspaper relates. Expert gardeners are employed, and Identification is made by the army identification discus burled with the bodies. Once exhumed, they are sent in crates marked fruit and vegetables aboard a yacht and smuggled into England under cover of' darkness at secluded spots on the Essex coast, The bodies are then transferred to an ordinary trunk and left at the railroad stations of the dead soldiers' families.

In most cases, it is said, re-burlal Is made in a family vault prepared beforehand, without undue notice. The Express story quotes the decision ot the imperial war graves commission that the British war dead who were buried In France and Flanders should remain there.
