TOBACCO MAGNATE
DIES IN NEW YORK
Nervous Breakdown'* Ends Life of
James B. Duke After Several
Weeks Illness. ,
New York, Oct. 10.—Jarhes B. Duke,
tobacco manufacturer, died tonight at
6 o’clock at his hqrae after'an illness
of several weeks that follow^ d ner
vous and physical breakdown.
In one of his last statements' before
his death, Mr. Duke said his passing
would have no effect on the future
of his varied interests, as all were in
good hands., j
For several years Mr. Duke? had not
taken an active part in the conduct
of the many enterprises in which he
was interested. Actual management']
Was entrusted to men he had trained,
although he frequently went to his
New 'iork office, and kept in close
tcuch with business matters.
Mr. Duke died in the presence of
his family and Dr. Robert H. Wylie,
who had attended him through his
long illness. The physician sfid that
the end came as a direct result of
bronchial pneumonia, contracted after
the breakdown. J %
Mr. Duke had fallen into a state of
coma after several days of fighting
for life, At times he showed such
improvement it was thought he would
recover.
He is survived by his Widow, who
was Miss Nanaline Holt; a daughter,
Miss Doris Duke; a brother:, Benjamin
Newton Duke; and a niece, Mrs. An
thony J. Drexel-Biddle Duke, who be
fore her marriage was Miss Mary
Duke,
James Buchanan Duke was born in
1856 near Durham, N. C., and re
ceived his education in the country
schools. His first connection with the
tobacco industry began a few years
after the Confederate war, when his
father, Washington Duke, established
the plant which proved to be the nu
cleus of the huge tobacco firm in
later years. t
Mr. Duke always maintained close
relations with the farmers whose pro
ducts he purchased. In his early years
as a tobacco manufacturer he instruct
ed his buyers to pay the farmers
enough for their crops to assure them
a living, notwithstanding market con
ditions.
The Duke firm later became an in
stitution known around the world.
The father, took his two sons, Benja
min M. and James B. Duke into the
business with him. When James, the
jounger son, was 18 jlears of age his
father turned the active management
of the business over to him. The busi
ness grew rapidly and in 1890 Mr.
Duke formed the American Tobacco
company in numerous other concerns.
Some years later the company was at
tacked by a monoply and in 1911 fil-
fn& suit by, the government under the
Sherman anti-trust law dissolved. Mr.
Duke, who had been president of the
American Tobacco, company, became
chairman of the boArd of- the British-
American Tobacco company, one of
the subsidiaries, continuing in thUiof-
j.fice for a number of years.
He became extensively interested in
the development of hydro-electric
power and established large plants in
sections of his native state of North
Carolina and in South Carolina. Re
cently he spent a large sum in an
effort to discovei^a method of produc
ing cheap fertilizer for the benefit of
the farmer. *•
The development of the water power
of Saguepay river in Canada was part
ol Mr. Duke’s plan for the manufac
ture of cheap fertilizer. He. had
hoped to work out a process for ob
taining phosphate from the rock by
means of electricity, a method which,
he believed, would be much cheaper
than the acid method generally em
ployed. To further his efforts along
this line, Mr. Duke acquired a Florida
phosphate mine and also became in
terested in the American Cyanamid
company, a successful nitrogen pro
ducing company.
W hile the whole scheme was not im
mediately successful, due to the fact
that the process of extracting phos
phate by electricity was not commer
cially practical, Mr. Duke had not
abandoned faith that it ultimately
could be worked out.
In 1924 he established the Duke en^l
'dowment, for which he set aside $40,-
OOOjPOO. This was the crystallization
of Ideas which Mr. Duke had had in
min^for many years. iSe trustees
were empowered to expend $6,000,000
in acquiring iands, erecting buildings
and otherwise extending the activities
cf Trinity college at Durham, N. G.,
an institution in which the elder Duke
bad been much interested. trust
deed provided that the name of the
institution should be changed to Duke
university, as a fitting memorial to
tne father, Washington Duke, 'and the
family.

In Chicneo. where this is written,
John G. Shedd yesterday signed his
name to an agreement under which
he will supply $5,000,000 to build the
world’s largest aquarium, in Grant
Park.
Thus, all over the United States,
men that have worked hard all their
lives, and built up fortunes witR the
help of the people, give hack' the
money to the people among whom
they Oamed H.
Mr. Shedd’s gift of a great aquari
um is money well spent.' It will in-,|
crease the supply of public informa
tion.
If to the exhibition of strange crca-
tureg of the oceans and lakes the
John G. Shedd gift could include some
plan for economical distribution
among the people of the food that
comes from the ocean, that would add
to the value of the gift.
A plan to get rid of sharks that de
stroy billions of valuable fish every
year, and the small, savage whales
that prey upon the great schools of
salmon in the Northwest would be
worth millions in increased food value.
Farmers are encouraged by news
that makers of artificial silk will re
quire great quantities of medium
grade wool, to mix with wood fibre.
The trade in artifical silk is destin
ed to be enormous. If the fartner rais
ing and shearing sheep can compete
with Asiatics, raising silk worms, he
may enjoy a new kind of prosperity.
All too often women accept their
pains and aches as natural to their
sex. They fail to realize that weak.
kidneys are often to blame for thatj
backache,' those headaches, dizzy spells
and. that tired, depressed feeling.
Thousands have found new health and
strength by helping the freakened kid
neys with Doan’s Pills—a stimulant
diuretic. This Clinton case is one of
many:
Mrs. J. H. M. Young, E. Ferguson
St., says: “My kidneys were in a

weakened condition. I had dizzy spoils
and* spots appeared before my eyes
when I got up suddenly after being
in a stooped position. My back pain
ed, which took my energy. I used dif
ferent medicines, but they didn’t help
me et alL I used Doan’s Pills, bought
at Smiths Pharmacy. Doan’s finally
cured me and the cure has lasted.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the samp that Mrs.
Young had. Foster-Milbum Co., Mfrs M

This nation needs an air force con
trolled by men that understand flying,
men that are interested in the differ
ence between all metal monoplane and
a weak cloth made biplane, mor ethan
in neat uniforms, or servile saluting.
Providence, taking care of the birds,
put in charge of them the brains of
birds, not the brains of rabbits or
turtles.
Why should this nation, depending
for its safety in war, upon flying
machines and flying men, put the na
tion’s flying department under the
control of human rabbits from the
navy or turtles from the army?
Not far from the train on which this
is Written. in Arkansas City, Kans.,
there lives a dog, name unknown, and
all the rest of his life that dog will
believe in miracles.
His owner probably dead by this
time, was Warren Hardy, man of
quick temper. Seizing hi? shotgun by
the end of the barrel, Hardy hit the
dog with the butt. Neither he nor
the dog knew the gun was leaded
Hardy is in the hospital, and probably
won’t recover.
All in one second the dog felt the
How, heard the explosion, saw his
cruel master stretched on the ground.
Knowing nothing about gunpowder,
that dog will always believe in mira
cles, and also in a special providence
that avenges dogs, when they are hit
with the butt end of a gun.

In old days, when t^e City, of Paris,
compared to modern Paris, was a
small town, thousands died of small
pox in a year. *
In the year just passed there was
no death from smallpox, and only
three very mild cases.
Paris enforces vaccination most
strictly. Children in the primary
schools, infants, 60,000 hospital, pati
ents, are some of those vaccinated.
And in Pai is smallpox doesn’t ex
ist. To what do gentlemen that op
pose vaccination attribute that fact?
Is it just accident?
