The possible forthcoming resigna- tion of John W. Weeks as Secretary of War, will reduce the wealth of President Coolidge's Cabinet by sev- eral millions of dollars. The exact Bradstreet rating of the Cabinet as it stands today—six milllonaires and four poor men—has never been com- puted, although it has been the sub- ject of ‘much speculation here in Washington. Some financial experts have esti- mated the Cabinet wealth as being in the neighborhood of $520,000,000. The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Mellon, would make any cabinet the richest ever known in American his- tory, but in the Coolidge advisory board, he is joined by other million- aires who swell the total of wealth to an unprecedented total. The six millionaires of the cabinet rated ac- cording to popular belief as to rela- tive wealth, are as follows: Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury. Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Com- merce. Frank B. Kellogg, State. . John W. Weeks, Secretary of War. James J. Davis, Secretary of La- Secretary of bor. Hubert C. Work, Secretary of the Interior, The Non-Millionaires. ‘The non.millionaires of the cabinet, without relative rating as to “poor- - [ness” are as follows: Curtis Wilbur, Secretary of the Navy. Harry S. New, Postmaster General. William M. Jardine, Secretary of Agriculture. John G. Sargent, Attorney General. There {s no means of computing Mr. Mellon’s wealth. He is unquestion- ably in the very comfortable position of not belng able to tell within $10,- 000,000 or $20,000,000 himself. There have been computations of the Mel- lon fortune as high_ as $600.000,000 and some as low as $300,000,000. He generally s conceded to be one of the three richest of Americans, ranking with the Rockefellers and the Fords. Despite the fact that Mr. Mellon says the rich men of the country need no 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 a tax into the Govern- ment of more than $1,000,000, which would pay his salary as Secretary for something like 70 vears. All of which proves that in Mr. Mellon the Gov- 5, 1831 Fifth street; Anna Lee, colored, 43, 1633 Marion street; George Fletcher, 123 Clay street northeast; Howard Brown, colored, 11, 1127 Half street southwest, and ~ Theodore Lerch, Capitol Heigh SEE ANNOUNCEMENT TUESDAY'S AND SATURDAY'S STA ernment has a very sound investment. The Mellon fortune was made in vari- ous wavs, in railroads, banking and oil, as well as steel. It has many ramifications. Hoover Ranked Next. Secretary Hoover generally is rated as the second richest man in the cabinet, but here again nothing like a_precise estimate ‘has been made. ‘Washington believes the Secretary of CommeYce to be worth anywhere from $8,000,000 to $10,000,000, possibly much more. Mr. Hoover made his money in mining and other investment. He has had mining interests all over the world. Secretary Kellogg is what might be called a very quiet and unobtrusive millionaire. Few of his old colleague; in the Senate realized how much hi was worth. Today his fortune has been estimated at $5,000,000, most of it accumulated in a very lucrative practice of the law. When Mr. Kel- logs left the Senate he probably was the richest “lame duck” of recent years—'"excusing” Col. T. Coleman du Pont, who lost to a Democrat in 1922, but who has now come back in triumph from the little State of Delaware. Secretary Weeks’ fortune was made as a banker and a broker, when he was a_member of the Boston firm of Hornblower & Weeks. Davis Began Poor. Secretary Davis, the richest man ever to hold the Labor portfolio in a cabinet, began life in this country as an fron puddler. He became a mil- lionaire through his work In organ- izing the Loyal Order of Moose and as a banker in Mr. Mellon's home town of Pittsburgh. Secretary Work, probably the “lean- est” of the cabinet millionaires, a cumulated his fortune threugh prac- tice of medicine, through careful in- vestments and the establishment of & sanatorium. Secretaries Wilbur and Jardine, Postmaster Gen. New and Attorney General Sargent have journeyed through life without feeling the “thrill” of great riches or the impulse to_get them. When Secretary Weeks resigns, as it is understood his family is now trying to induce him to do at an early date, there will be much specu- lation as to the financial standing of his_successor.

BANS FILING CLAIM T0 UNKNOWN AREA Lands MacMillan May Dis- cover Future Issue, State Department Says. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. _ The Department of State would be Just as happy if the discussion over who shall claim the land the MacMil- lan _expedition may discover would cease. This in effect is the answer which MacMillan himself received from the Government here just before his de- parture for the North. Washington officials realize that the reiterated predictions of the American expedition that land would be found and claimed for the United States have not been any too well received in Can- ada and that every time the subject has been raised it has added an irri- tation which in the end may prove to have been wholly superfluous. Question Still Undetermined. In the first place, nobod: there is land in the unexp) Hence the Department of fuses to enter Into a hypothetical controversy with so good a neighbor 48 Canada. When land is discovered and its location definitely known— and perhaps its value, too—there will be time enough, in the opinion of offi- cials here, to take the subject up with Canada and reach an amicable under- standing as to the future status of the territor As it is now the claims of the past are very vague and permit of plenty of controversy. But the Washington Government sees no profit in arguing about it. The Canadian government has not made formal protest to the United States. contenting itself with informal conversations on the subject with the Navy Department here, which sending_the fiyers to the North. Secretary Wilbur referred the matter to the Department of State in re- spouse to the inquiries of MacMillan, too, but the State Department pur sued a discreet silence. MacMillan Claims for Maine. When MacMillan asked the status of the case, he was told there was certain MANHATTAN SHI MONDAY, JUNE Coolidge’s Speech Tonight Is Last Engagement Before His Departure Ready to proceed to the “Sum- mer White House” at Swampscott, Mass., President Coolidge will ful- fill his last engagement here by speaking tonight to the semi-annual meeting of the Government busi- ness organization. In his address Mr. Coolidge im expected to set forth in some detail his hopes for future tax reduction and plans for further Government economy. The address will be de- livered early m the evening, and will be broadcast by these radio stations: WCAP, WEAF, WIAR, WEEI, WOO, WSAI and WOC. Practically all urgent business has been disposed of by the Presi- dent, and he spent the day recetv- ing callers as usual and clearing up lastminute details. He meets tomorrow morninhg with the cabinet in probably the last regular session no status. Since then, however, he has announced that he will claim the land for the State of Maine and a naval officer at a banquet, supposed to be speaking for Secretary Wllbur, is quoted as having asserted the Navy would back up such a claim. These statements are not taken seriously by the Washington Gov- ernment, which lets it be known that discussion of the subject in advance serves no useful purpose. The MacMillan expedition has de- parted on ity northward voyage and for the time being at least the prob- lem of who owns the unexplored area is not going to trouble officials here and they hope likewise that the Ca. nadian government will not be per- turbed about it.
