BUSINESS CONTACT Noted New York Banker Ob- serves Birthday Quietly at Jekyl Island. By the Associated Press. BRUNSWICK, Ga., March 27.—George Pisher Baker, the lone survivor of a powerful group of financiers who com- manded money and industry at the be- ginning of the twentieth century, today observed his ninetieth birthday at the Jekyl Island retreat where he once conferred with J. Pierpont Morgan. | James J. Hill, Theodore N. Vail and | James Stillman. Still active in the conduct of a wide | variety of enterprises, the taciturn New | York banker, whose silence has become | a legend, planned a quiet day marked only by a family dinner. His son, George F. Baker, jr.; his daughter, Mrs. S. St John, and her son, John St. John, all of New York, and E. E. Loomis, presi- dent of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, were with him for the occasion. Finds Pleasure in Car Rides. Mr. Baker reads little now, but has much read to him. He has abandoned | golf, a recreation which he took up at | 70. In its place he finds diversion in an automobile drive twice a day over the island, which is approximately eight miles long and two miles wide. He is a keen dog fancier. Mr. Baker came South in January, and is in excellent health. The island, eight miles from here, is owned by the Jekyl Island Club, an exclusive organi- gation of 100 millionaires. Rare game frequents the island and virgin forests offer a scene of unusual pictorial beauty. Retains Business Contacts. Unlike that other celebrated Ameri- can, John D. Rockefeller, sr, who also has reached his ninetieth milestone, Mr. Baker, as chairman of the board of the First National Bank of New York City and a director in other large corpora- tions, still is in the harness of work—if not of daily stints, yet of great respon- sibilities. He attends regularly the board meet- ings of his bank and of other businesses in which he is interested. He generally is credited with Dvlnh‘li' 20,000 shares of stock in his bank, holdings which alone are valued at more than $100,- 000,000. He became president of the First National in 1874, rising from an obscure position in a small Albany, N. In recent years his benefactions to Eastern colleges and hospitals have run into la: sums, but they have been x;n;de quietly and without advance no- REFORMATORY HEAD RESIGNS POSITION Connecticut Inquiry Board Urges He Be Dismissed in Report at Same Time, By the Assoclated Press.
