The act provides for payment should the lighthouse remain in position for a term of years, partial payment to be made each year. The lighthouse Is to be constructed by Albert F.

Yerkes was put on trial on December 5, 1871, charged with larceny of a check fur embezzlement, larceny by bailee and larceny of the money. The jury then found him guilty on all couuts, but added a recommendation to mercy. The Court sentenced him to pay a fine of $5H) and the costs of the and to undergo an imprisonment of two years and nine months. The Board of Pardons released him In connection with this charge. In 1880 he went West, made much money In the boom at Fargo, returned to Chicago, settled there and married Miss Mary Adelaide Moore, the daughter of one of Philadelphia's most respected citizens and a man of great wealth.

His first move in Chicago was to open a banking house at the corner of La Salle and Madison streets. He then bought largely in railway stocks until today he virtually controls the street railways of Chicago. A Worker For Science. But while Mr. Yerkes has for years been bound up in financial life, he still found time for science, literature and art.

The magnificent Y'erkes telescope which he pre sented to the University of Chicago, with an object glass 40 inches in diameter, has never been equaled in power. This tele scope was only dedicated in 1898, but so great is its power that it has already been the means of contributing much to knowl edge of observatorlal astronomy. Mr. Yerkes a few years ago built a res! dentlal palace on upper Fifth avenue, New Y'ork, which is one of the magnificent show places of that city. He had one of the most complete and costly art galleries of private collections In existence, valued at more than $2,000,000, although many of the paintings have priceless value.

Sells Road Holdings. In 1901 Mr. Yerkes sold his holdings In Chicago elevated railways for a sum said to have been $5,000,000. In his operations in Chicago railways he was backed by the Wldener-Elkins syndicate of Philadelphia. Mr.

Y'erkes during the course of 15 years as a street railway manager converted 48 miles to cable and 240 miles to electricity. He constructed 205 miles of outlying electric lines and purchased the Suburban railway system with 33 miles of track. Mr. Yerkes built the Union loop, which gave downtown connections to all the elevated railways. The possibility of carrying out this enterprise was so unpromising that capitalists declined to put any money into the venture.

Y'erkes, however, had faith in the project to such an extent that he advanced $3,000,000 to carry it out. The purchase of the Chicago Inter Ocean by Mr. Yerkes was done for the purpose of defending himself against the other Chicago newspapers. Not a day passed that he was not made the subject of strong editorial comment and figured extensively In the news columns of the dally papers. When he acquired a paper of his own he began a severe attack on his enemies, and for some time the journalistic controversy was waged with unabatlng vigor.

Baltimore Names In It. With the registration of the "Metropolitan District Electric Traction Company, Limited," at Somerset House, London, In August, 1901, there came to light the names of the American capitalists who were to help Mr. Y'erkes give London rapid transit. The company was capitalized for an even 1,000,000 only 336,000 ($1,680,000) stands in the personal name of the former Chlcagoan former, because he made oath to his occupation and residence as "Financier, 54 Wall street, New York." It was fully understood, however, that the remainder of the subscriptions to the company's stock stand in the names of men and corporations whom Mr. Y'erkes invited to Join him, and their holdings may be said to be "controlled." Some of the most important names and amounts in the certificate of association are as follows John J.

Yerkes bought in London Turner's celebrated painting "Rock ets and Blue Lights." The cable dispatches stated Mr. Yerkes paid for it $78,000, and that this price is a record. Art lovers in London said that it is not. Knoedler Co. obtained for Turner's "Wreckers" in 1900 $90,000.

If Mr. Yerkes paid only $78,000 for "Rockets and Blue Lights" he has a bargain. It is true that duty and freight are to be added to that sum. "Rockets and Blue Lights" and the "Wreckers" were companion pictures; the former poetic, the latter dramatic. The first brought $20,000 at the (Joldsmld sale by auction in London, In 1890; the second $40,000 at the Pender sale by auction in London, in 1897.

Since then the prices of works by Turner have risen extravagantly. The "new-lmpresslonlsts," with their application of the science of colors explained by Chevreul and Rood, have made him greater than even Ituskin, who seemed to have Invented him, Imagined. MAY SUCCEED HIM Horace K. Andrews Spoken Of For Place Vacated By Yerkes. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.

Cleveland, Dec. 20. The death of ChasI T. Yerkes In New York places, it is thought, the chairmanship of the board of directors of the London railway system, the greatest In the world, upon the shoulders of Horace E. Andrews, president of the Cleveland Electric Railway Company of Cleveland.

It is said by his close friends here that In the Immediate future the management of the great underground system will be offered to Mr. Andrews. A short time ago it was announced that he had been offered the management of Yerkes' London lines, but now that the traction promoter is dead it is thought that he will be Induced to accept the position.

Jones Alleges Breach Of Con. tract And Claims $460,000. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. 7 New 'York, Dec. 29.

John S. Jones, of Ohio, has begun suit in the Supreme Court against George J. Gould, Joseph Ramsey, and William E. Guy for $460,000, with Interest from January 1, 1903, arising out of the purchase of coai land in Ohio. Mr.

Jones contends that in October, 1902, be was requested by Gould, Ramsey and Guy to assist them in acquiring 18,000 acres of coal land in Ohio. lie declares the agreement was that he should purchase the land, the purchase money to be furnished by the three men named, and also a reasonable amount for his commission. Pursuant to the agreement, he says, he got possession of the property, for which he paid $370,000. In addition to this amount ho asks for $90,000 as commission and expenses. When he bad obtained the title, he says, Gould and his associates repudiated the contract.

Mr. Gould and his. associates have put in a general denial. CONVENTION OF THE S. A.

Louis, Dec. 29. After a division of 95 years, steps were consummated today at a joint Besslon of general committees, which, if formally ratified next May by the fipnprni a Hspmi.1 Iah win unite the North ern Presbyterian Church, United States of America, and the Cumberland presoycenan Church. Almost two days were consumed by subcommittees in arranging details for the union. Their reports were submitted to the general committees representing each church this afternoon.

Within two hours the two general committees had met in joint session and agreed on a basis for the union of the two denominational bodies. This agreement will be reported to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, meeting at Des Moines, Iowa, on May 17, 190G, and that of the Cumberland Tresbyterian Church, meeting in Decatur, on the same date, for formal ratification. If the basis of union is ratified official announcement of the union of the two churches will then be made. The general committee of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church had its full quota of 21 members present, the chairman being Rev. Dr.

W. II. Black, of Marshall, Mo. Sixteen of the 21 members of the Presbyterian General Committee were present. Rev, Dr.

W. II. Roberts, of Philadelphia, being chairman. One Dissenting; Voice. It is said that the joint ballot on union showed only one dissenting vote, that being cast by Elder T.

W. Keller, of Knoxviile, a member of the Cumberland committee. According to report, when the Cumberland committee was appointed seven men known to be in opposition to the proposed union were placed on the committee. The vote today indicated that tsix men had changed their minds. The report adopted in joint session, aftei carefully reviewing several similar efforts for union of the two churches, recites tne legal steps taken, beginning with the appointment of committees in 1903, and declares that the effect of all these steps is primarily that the confession of faith i of the Tresbyterian Church, United States America, as revised in 1903, and the other doctrinal and ecclesiastical standards of that church, have been constitutional adopted by the Cumberland Presbyterlat Church, as has also been the joint report prepared by these two general committees two years ago that the reunion of the two churches has been fully agreed to by both, and It Is recommended that immediately after the foregoing effects of the steps thus far taken have been announced, the con-foith and the other doctrinal and ecclesiastical standards of the Presbyterian Church, United States of America, Bhall be binding upon the ministers, ruling oiori flomtm.

Robert Fltz-sommons today received the first ray of light in the gloom that has been settling around since his defeat at the hands of Jack O'Brien, followed quickly by his tvlfe deserting him. It came In the shape of a brief, characteristic and manly letter from President Roosevelt, cheering the old man and expressing regret at his defeat. Fitzsimmons prizes the letter above any of his possessions, and while be will not permit a copy of it to go out he lets all his friends read it. The President reminds Fitz that be has been the victor in a hundred battles, that he never asked odds of any man and fought square fights.

Fitz immediately wired a lengthy answer to the President, thanking him for his sympathetic letter at a time when he most needed sympathy. CARETAKERS SUE ADDICKS Another Attachment Placed On XXls Newport Villa. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Newport, R. Dec.

29 If the Dominican Minister notifies this Government that Vice-President Ramon Casceres is inducted into office as successor to Morales as President of Santo Domingo the Administration will respond courteously with a note recognizing the new Dominican Government, which, it is understood, will be in full accord with the spirit of the pending convention with the United States, provided It is amended so as to eliminate the seventh article relative to the landing of American troops in connection with the Internal affairs of the island. Several weeks ago Senator Lodge endeavored, in executive session, to have the Dominican treaty recommitted to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, so that that committee might report it back to the Senate after removing this seventh article, which some Senators have humorously styled "the vermiform appendix of the situation About the same time the Administration changed its instructions to the commander of the American warships in Santo Domingo waters. It is now evident, besides being so stated on authority, that the flight of Morales was the direct outcome of this change of policy, which was, In turn, the result of Colonel Colton's recent visit here to report to the President and Secretary Root on conditions in Santo Domingo. Morales Uoasted Too Much. The original instructions to Minister Dawson and Rear-Admiral Bradford were to use the formidable force of American warships In Dominican waters to maintain Morales in power.

It Is understood that Colonel Col-ton when in Washington notified the President that there was a growing feeling of hostility toward Morales on account of the presence of the American ships, accentuated by indiscreet assertions by Morales that he could rely upon the United States to keep him in office. Gen. Ramon Casceres who is regarded as the leading man in the island today, some months ago brought so much pressure to bear upon Morales that he threatened to resign. It is claimed that this was thwarted by Minister Dawson, who Is alleged to have declared that as Morales had been elected for four years no other President of Santo Domingo would be recognized by the American Government, until the expiration of his term or his legal removal from office for cause, even If American marines had to be landed to maintain order. When Colonel Colton informed the President of the real situation the instructions to Rear-Admiral Bradford to land forces to prevent a revolution were countermanded, and Commander Sutherland was about two weeks ago directed not to Interfere in the Internal affairs of the island, but to land marines only to protect American life and property.

This left Morales on two horn3 of a dl. lemma. He was abandoned by the United States and was confronted by a dominant faction that hated him. There was nothing left for him to do but to "take to the tall timber." Vasques The Popular Idol. The most popular man in the island Is Horatio Vasquez, who ruled four-fifths of the country even when Morales was In power and whose name the Horacistas party bears.

Casceres is his chief lieutenant. Men who have been to Santo Domingo report that Morales is bitterly hated and declare that he intrigued his way into the Presidency and then negotiated a treaty with the United States in order to retain the Presidency. It is claimed that Morales is desirous of jolningthe Jiminastas, the party of former President Jiminez, but this is not believed by those men In Washington who have recently been In the island and who are of the opinion that Morales secured the Presidency at the expense of Jiminez. Some press dispatches have stated that Morales has gone to Monte Christl, but it is known here that he is hated there more than at any other place in the island, and it is not believed that he will endanger his life by being bo foolhardy as to go to that city. Morales Feared Assassination.

Morales was in constant fear of assassi nation, and a gentleman who has recently returned from Santo Domingo said that while walking down the street of the capi tal one day recently with Morales they heard a noise on a balcony above their heads, and Morales, believing It to be the clicking of a gun, ducked his head and immediately grabbed a revolver hanging at his side. The American rushed across the street, thinking there was going to be a duel. The noise proved to a false alarm. but the quick action of Morales illustrated his dread of assassination. The program of the United States Ad ministration is to officially recognize the new Casceres Government, and, following this, to endeavor to secure the formal as sent of the new government to the treaty negotiated by Minister Dawson with Presl dent Morales.

Instead of landing troops it is the purpose to play a waiting game and if the Casceres Government proves able to maintain itself the American Administra tlon will contend that the treaty has not been vitiated, but that, on the other hand, there has been a successful revolution, which cannot relieve Santo Domingo from liability on Its prior engagement with foreign states. It is understood that the Admin istration possesses written pledges given by members of the party in power and that Mr. Roosevelt will endeavor to hold Cas ceres to the engagement made by his predecessor. Casceres claims the Presidency "in accordance with the Constitution" of Santo Domingo. He has been the chief lieutenant of Horatio Vasquez, and unless he abdicates in favor of the latter there will probably be a four-cornered revolution, with Vasquez, Casceres, Jiminez and Morales all contending for the Presidency.

Casceres is in many ways a remarkable man. He has an impressive appearance and is one of the most courageous men on the island. Casceres Killed Heureni. It was Casceres who killed former President Heureux, who was for 13 years dictator of the country and regarded by many as the bloodiest ruler In the Western Hemisphere. Heureux was killed at the town of Mocha.

Casceres and several other politicians conspired to murder him and drew lots. The task fell to a youth, who was to shoot Heureux when the latter visited a grocery. Heureux was also a crack shot and Casceres, being afraid that the youth might miss fire, joined him. When Heureux came riding down the street and leaned from his horse to give alms to a beggar Casceres opened fire and tilled the dictator. As Heureux lay wounded on the ground he leveled his gun at Casceres, but the bullet went wide of Its mark.

Many believe that if Heureux had not died at that moment Casceres would never have lived to obtain the Presidency. The assassination of Heureux. who had so long been in despotic power, increased the popularity of Casceres. Wos Gil Ousted vasanei. Casceres is a cousin to Vasquez, who was Vice-President under Jiminez In 1001, but did not relish the idea of being in second place resigned and Inaugurated a successful revolution, but remained In power only six months.

He made the fatal error of leaving his capital to suppress a revolution in the interior and while absent was succeeded by Wos Gil, who had been President before Heureux, but had been imprisoned, and who, upon his escape, seized the Government arsenal and fortified the capital. Vasquez gave up his pursuit of the rebels in the interior and returned to the capital, where he besieged Wos Gil. The siege lasted five days, at the end of which Vasquez fled to Cuba on account of the disaffection of his followers. The men he de serted made common cause with the Jiminez party, threw out Wos Gil and offered the Presidency vo vasquez, wm reiuseu ii. Tim inea was willing to take the Presidency.

There are so many men claiming the Presidency and the situation Is now so mud dled that nobody is ame to predict tne outcome. The fact that Casceres and Vasquez are cousin has brought them together in the past. Vasquez, although strong and powerful and a peace-loving man in spite of his record," is regarded by some of his enemies as lacking courage, while Casceres, his cousin, is not only a crack shot, but a fighter "from the drop of the hat." He Is now in his prime and since he has the Presidency In his grasp he may regard it as worth while to retain the office and decline to yield in favor of his cousin, if the latter now desires the place he once refused.

20. Charles T. Yerkes, the noted railway financier of Chicago and Ixindon. died today in his apartments at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, where he "had leen ill for more than six weeks. Mr, Yerkes suffered with a complication ff diseases growing out of a severe cold which he contracted In London early In the fall.

His condition had been critical for the last 10 days and the attending phy- Melans gave up all hope several days ago, although members of the family clung tenaciously to the belief that the remarkable vitality of Mr. Yerkes would eventually pull him through. Since last night the pa tlent had been kept alive with, strong stim ulants. Despite statements said to have come earlier in the day from Mrs. Charles T.

Yerkes, the wife of the capitalist, that she would not go to the Waldorf-Astoria, the following official statement was made by Dr. Loo tuts, who had attended Mr. Yerkes throughout his illness: Ills Wife Reported There. "At the deathbed were Mrs. Charles T.

Yerkes, hia wife Charles Edward Yerkes, a son and bis wife Mrs. Charles Ronda-miller, a daughter, and myself. "At 1 o'clock Mrs. Yerkes was telephoned to that her husband was dying and she re lented and went to the hotel and was present when he died. This was the first time Mrs.

Yerkes had been at the 'hotel during her husband's illness. The death was peaceful, but unexpected at the time." Mr. Yerkes' residence, where Mrs. Yerkes is staying, is at the southeast corner of sixty-eighth street and Fifth avenue, facing Central Park. It has one of the most richly decorated interiors of any house in the United States, a notable feature being the great inner court of Florentine marble.

There is a bathroom finished in onyx that cost and recently a big art gallery was added to the house, which contains a collection of paintings and sculpture valued at $2,000,000. But, in spite of such a palatial home, Mr. Yerkes did not find New York to his liking. During the last two years Mr. Yerkes had spent most of his time In London.

When he arrived here, early in Novem ber, instead of going to his residence, he drove straight to the Waldorf-Astoria, and there he remained until he died. ART COLLECTION TO CITY Air. Yerke' Mansion And Contents, Valued At $4,000,000. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. New York, Dec.

9. Coincident with Charles T. Yerkes death, it -was learned from one of his business associates that lie had bequeathed to the city his mansion In Fifth avenue, together with the great art galleries in connection with It, the whole to be maintained by an endowment of $1,000,000. The value of the collection of paintings, textiles and other art objects, with the Kallerles and house, is known to have been placed by Mr. Yerkes at $4,000,000, and it Is believed this is a conservative estimate.

At least three of the paintings are worth close to $100,000 apiece, and many others are almost equally valuable. It was Mr. Yerkes purpose to leave the galleries and their magnificent contents as a monument to his memory. It will be known as the Y'erkes collection and will be free to the public. C.

T. YERKES, FINANCIER The 31a Who Controlled 'Chicago And London Transit. Charles Tyson l'erkes, It is stated, went from Philadelphia to Chicago in 1883 with a capital of $40,000, and in 1900 went to London with a fortune estimated at Ills greatest work was done within the last two or three years, when he secured the right to construct and constructed the London subway, locally known as the "Tube." He was born In Philadelphia on June 25. 137. His family were Quakers.

The first Yerkes wasa Welsh 6ettler who arrived In this country prior to the establishment of the Pennsylvania Quakers, with whom he and his descendants coalesced. Young Yerkes was sent to the Quaker school and afterward to the Central High School, and left this school to accept a clerkship In the four and grain commission and forwarding house of James P. Perot Bro. at a sal-pry of nothing a week. This may sound Hbrupt, but, as a matter of fact, the lad's position was nothing short of an apprenticeship.

He worked, however, with such tireless enthusiasm that his employers at the end of a year presented him with $50 a an evidence of their appreciation of his worth. necomea A Broker. At the age of 21 years he opened a stock broker's office in Philadelphia and in 1861 purchased a banking house. He dealt in lovernment, State and city bonds and built up a profitable business. In 1874 he secured practically all the stock of the Continental Passenger Hallway of Philadelphia at 15 and the stock rose to 100.

Th war period brought beavy dealings In Oovernment, State and city bonds. There was a high premium on gold, and that made city bonds sell low, the interest on them being payable In currency. Mr. Yerkes, It is said, engineered a scheme which raised the price of these bonds from Kr cents to par. In acrordance with Its charter the city could sell no bonds at less than par.

Consequently, when they were below par the city of Philadelphia could pay no bounties to soldiers, nor could It rnrry on the improvements In its park Mr. Yerkes successful scheme lirought him in closer touch rvith the city, to which he became financial agent.

The body of a sol dier killed In active service cannot be sent home to his relatives at Government ex pense for burial if he dies in the United States.

THE "BEGINNING OF THE END" Eighth Street Hebrew Temple, In Washington, Celebrates Its Fiftieth Anniversary. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Washington, Dec. 29. Addressing the Washington Hebrew Congregation, at the Eighth Street Temple tonight, on the occa sion of the celebration of the fifteith anniversary of Its establishment, Vice-President Fairbanks, the principal speaker, of the evening, severely condemned the treatment to which the Jews of Russia have been sub jected during recent months.

Mr. Fairbanks pointed out that In this country the Government knew no distinction of church, yet gave all denominations equal and like privileges." Every man. native or foreigner, had the right to worship according to the dictates of his conscience. He said that, although he was not a member of the synagogue, he wanted to pay a tribute to those who had set in motion 50 years ago an institution which had become so important a factor in everything pertaining to the development of the cap ital. He declared there Is "more of liberty and charity abroad In the land now than 50 years ago." "I am not a pessimist," he said, "I believe in the church.

I bellevo It is more powerful today than it was when this great synagogue was founded." Lay ing his hand upon an American flag which draped the pulpit he said: "Fifty years ago there was upon the banner of the republic a stain. It is gone now. The accursed system of human slavery has been wiped away." "The Jewish people are a great people, he continued. "They are a venerable people with a remarkable history that touches even the dullest of students profoundly. The part the Jew has played in the upbuild ing of this republic has been an honorable one.

He is today to be found in every vocation that makes for the growth of the country and Its welfare. The Jewish people are a great positive and conservative force in-the United States. I cannot help contrasting the conditions of the Hebrews of the United States with the condition of those in some other lands. During the past few months the eyes of the world have been focused upon Russia. The story of what has occurred there Is horrible.

It almost challenges our credulity. It seems Inconceivable that at the dawn of the twentieth century thousands of men, women and even children can be put to death for no other cause than that through their veins courses the blood of Jews. In my Judgment it is the beginning of the end. The voice of the Jew and gentile everywhere wiil heard In mighty protest, because one touch of sor row makes the world akin. In such an hour Jew and gentile alike should send succor to those abroad in the hour of their extremity." The anniversary services began at 7.30 o'clock with devotional exercises.

Dr. Louis Stern and Rabbi Abram Simon officiated. Rev. Dr. Thomas Chalmers Easton, pastor of the Eastern Presbyterian Church, offered the opening prayer.

Addresses were also made by I. L. Blount, president of the congregation District Commissioner Henry Li. West and Hon. Blmon woir.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Washington, Dec. 29. It has been proposed by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy that inspection of the hulls and boilers of the naval vessels lent to the naval militia of the various States be made by the Department of Commerce and Labor.

The arguments in favor of this change are two pirst That such inspection would save an Immense amount of labor and expense to the navy, since the inspectors of the department named are more generally distributed over the country and within much more easily reached distance than the engineer officers of the navy. Second That inspection would be more efficient under the Department of Commerce and Labor, since its inspectors would be able to do the work more frequently. Pensions Granted.

Whittlsgton, $3 Much Feellnff Over The Joint Statehood Bill. MEMBERS RESENT THE CHARGE Believed Tbat Republicans Will Not Be Able To Pass Bill This Session. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Washington, Dec. 29.

Members of Congress who have opposed the passage of any measure giving joint Statehood to Arizona and New Mexico declare that they have already won their fight and that there is no prospect of any such bill passing Congress this session. Considerable feeling is developing among the Republican members of Congress who are opposed to the Jointure of Arizona and New Mexico into one State, as result of recent statements published in the Middle West to the etTect that those Senators and Representatives who are openly opposed to the Hamilton bill, so far as Arizona and New Mexico are concerned, have been "bribed" by receiving Arizona mining stock In return for their opposition to the bill. The feeling In Congress with regard to the joint Statehood measure has become in some quarters very personal. Accusation has been made that a Senator, whose name has been prominently linked with the Joint Statehood bill, has inspired these charges of bribery as a last resort, since he now appreciates that It will be Impossible to pass the present Joint Statehood bill unless the provisions with respect to the Jointure of Arizona and New Mexico are omitted from the bill. A prominent member of the House declared today that these accusations of bribery are utterly without foundation.

He stated that to this same Senator has also been traced the statement that a large lobby is being maintained In Washington by tha railroad and mining Interests of Arizona to prevent the swallowing up of Arizona by the Mexican or "Greaser" population of New Mexico. 1. "There Is no lobby here," said the member of the House referred to, "and the second charge is as untrue as the first. It is most unusual for a member of Congress to charge his colleagues with bribery, and the fight against the absorption of Arizona by New Mexico is sure to develop resentment on the part of those who are opposing the bill as a result of their honest and unbiased convictions. There seems to be little doubt now but that the Joint Statehood bill will be defeated in the House by the vote of the insurgent Republicans with the solid Democratic vote unless some provision is made in the bill, which will come up for action on January 10, to give Arizona and New Mexico an opportunity to vote upon the question separately The new phase of the situation, however Involving charges of bribery and corruption, is causing more feeling than any other measure which comes up for action in Congress this session.
