There is no means of computing
Mr. Mcllon's wealth. lie is unques-

ceded to be one of the three richest
AmErieans. ranking with tho Rocke-
fellers and the Fords.
DeSpite the fact that. Mr. Mellon
says the rich men of the. country
need guardians or protection as to
the various means of investing their
money so as to escape a heavy in-
come penalty. the Secretary himself
last year'paid it tax into the. Govern-
ment of more, than Showman, which
would pay his salary as Secretary for
something like wventy years. All of
which proves that in Mr. Mellon the
GOVEI‘IllllI‘llt. has a very sound invest-
ment. The Mellon fortune was made
in various ways.’ in railroads, bank-
ing and oil. as well as steel. It has
many ramifications.

rated as the second riche:.t man in
the Cabinet, but here again nothing
like a precise estimate has bet-n

SAN FRANCISGO, June 'li.-—A
military cortego stopped beneath a
low cypress tree. An Army chaplain
dropped rose leaves into a freshly
dug grave and spoke:
“Since the soul of our comrade
has departed thiu life. he therefore
commit his body to the ground."
A mother. white handkerchief to
her eyes. and contrasting with her
dress of black. stood near. A group
of overseas former service men
stood with bated and bowed heads.
A color guard of two overseas ser-
geants held aloft the Stars and
Stripes and the colors of the 30th
infantry. with the riband of the
Oral: do Guerro. A former A. 1-2. lg.
lieutenant spoke; a brief sermon
was preached. A salute. taps.
Thus was buried in the law-shite.

covered. She had journeyed to Ar-
lington when the Unknown Soldier
was brought back for burial. think-
ing he might be her boy. The fath-

Episcopal rites for the dead were
read during a conventional service
in the little vine-covered chapel in

hilly military reservation overlook-
ing Golden Gate. before the flag-
covered casket was transported on
