For the purpoe of unraveling the twister tkolna f Persian governmental finance, fhe America n have crossed tho ocean to undertake tho difficult job. The mon are W. Morgan Shustcr of Washington, I.

All of theHe men have had much experience In work of this kind In various parts of tho world, especially in the establishment of civil governeach of them took an active .part. The selection of Americans to aid In tho government of other nations has occurred before in tho history of the United States. In the latter part of the nineteenth century, an American citizen was requested to assist in the establishment of tho fiscal system of Japan, and there was another ease a number of yeara ago where ai American assisted In the reorganization of tho financial affairs of Slam.

The upheuvul In this empire is similar to
the one In Turkey, where the young Turk element has been successful In bringing about a number of reforms. The young Pcrskui party are the progressive men of the nation and they are desirous of having the most mod cm processes Introduced Into the ein jdre as quickly as possible. To this end Persia has Invited foreigners to accept temporary posts In the empire In an effort to modernize the ancient nation. So far the cry In Persia has been "modernism. The young Persians have overturned tho entire govern mental system and transformed tho autocratic rule of the old monarchs Into the more progressive rule of a 'constitutional monarchy, similar to that In Kngland. They are particularly anxious to provide education for all the people, to establish Institutions of learning In the higher as well as the lower branches of study, and arc eager for foreign Innovations. Near Prosperity Era. Diplomats here say that Persia is on the' eve of an era of tremendous prosperity and wealth. They say that the country Is about to enter upon the beginning of a career of power and glory, as great In the future as has been Its pnsaivlty In the past. As the country Is practically the gateway to
India, one ef the richest though undeveloped countries In the world. It Is forecasted that It will not be tyng before the Persian people will again become a nation of standing among the powers of the world. Consequently, as the country is attempting a great national movement the best mn anywhere obtainable have been selected.. W. Morgpn Sinister Isparticularly fitted for his post. He is a lawyer and has held a number of high positions under tho United States government. His first service was In 1S9.1, when he was appointed assistant secretary to tho commission having in charge the arrangeStents for the evacuation of Cuba by "N jejanlsh government. Afterwards t , v appointed to a position In the "J. I J customs service, which was fader the control of the United "L.af Upon his return to the United States.

P CJ O ,fp o o a HETTY GREEN WILL CONSERVE WEALTH With Son Plans for a String of' Banks from Coast to Coast. New York, April 13. Col. E. H. R. Green and his mother, Hetty Green, the world's richest business woman, today began the task of forming a string of private banks stretching from New York to San Francisco thatthe vast Green fortune of $100,000,000 may be best handled. 'After consulting the best legal talent in New York." said Col. Green, in his business suite at the Waldorf today, "we decided that our original plan of forming a trust company for the handling of the estate would not do. We found that a trust company in this state", for Instance, could not hold real estate in Illinois and we found other difficulties. Our plan now is to establish the private banking house of E. H. R. Green and company in New York. The we will establish in Boston, Chicago, Dallas and San Francisco. In eac'.i city we will have our local representatives in the firm. We believe we will thus be able to handle the Green estate with the best results." Mrs. Green was with her son at the Waldorf helping him with a big day's work. Secretaries were hard at it despite the fact of the eve of the Easter holiday in the financial section. Col. Green was staunch in his admiration of his mother's business methods. He said that he intended to follow them despite the fact that they were considered old-fashioned down town. He said that his mother was not a hard woman in a business transaction and that she had never charged more than six per cent, for a loan. All the Green money in New York is loaned on Fifth avenue and Broadway real estate. Another thing about his mother's methods, he pointed out, is that wherever the Green investments make money the profit is invested in the locality where the investment is made. . Boston profits are reinvested in Boston, Chicago's in Chicago and so on. . ... . "Mother would not. send her money abroad if she could get five hundred per cent, on it. 'he said. ."She. hates the expatriate William Waldorf Astor and I am with her in that- Although-1 was born in England I became an American citizen when I was 29."

CONCLUDES THE LENTEN SEASON
A Dreary, Cloudy and Pos sible Rainy Day Is Fore casted bv a Government Weather Observer. Easter Sunday to the world means the resurrection of the Christ from the tomb into which the Saviour was placed by his twelve faithful apostles after His crucifixion by the Romans On Easter morn two angels descend ed from heaven and rolled away the huge stones that were placed in front of the tomb, and the Christ arose from the dead. Belief and hope are the significance of the resurrection of the Christ hope and belief in the resurrection of the dead, in all ages to come. It is the fact upon which the future life of man is based. Had there been no ascension Christianity and all its teachings would have died forever. In Richmond, especially in the Episcopal, Catholic and Lutheran churches, Easter Sunday will be observed with special exercises. The Catholic and Episcopal services will be the most elaborate. All the Sunday schools will have exercises consisting of songs and recitations by the classes of younger children. Business men have been doing a great Easter trade this season, and providing fair weather greets the city today there will undoubtedly be an imposing Easter day parade. North A and Main street are usually the scenes of the Easter promenade. The latest creations in spring millinery, with the most gorgeous plumes, the up-to-the-minute silks and satins, and the most perfect models of the tailors will appear. To the society girl, and man also, for that matter, Easter comes probably with a sigh of relief. The Lenten season is over, and now the parties, dances, dinners and theater parties will again take the front of the social stage. The social calendar for the next few" weeks shows that society will make up for time lost during the Lenten season, though this year this season, usually quiet, has been rather lively. In business circles Easter begins a series of sales and get-rid-of-spring-goods advertising. The spring rush is now over and there will be a comparative rest in business circles, until the opening of the summer season. The word "Easter" is derived from the Assyrian from the word "Eastre" meaning a goddess of light, in honor of which the ancients celebrated a festival every spring. In the tongues of Germanic origin this ancient festival takes the name of "Ostara." It is derived from the goddess of the spring, in Teutonic mythology.

John the Divine, on Morningsido Heights are completed and ready for their opening and dedication on Wednesday next. Preparations for th first service in the chancel and the cathedral on the morning of April 19 are practically completed aud judging from the program the opening service will be a brilliant and interesting event, worthy of the most magnificent and monumental cathedral structure in this country.

When the doors are thrown open on Wednesday morning, those who hold cards of invitation will be admitted to the crossing, an open square of 96 feet. In which chaira to accommodate 1,400 persons have been placed. Bish op Greer will preach the consecration sermon.

According to the program arranged the invited guest will assemble in tho Synod Hall and proceed to the south door of the Cathedral, at the western end of the choir.

Ever sincu that time the monumental work has pro gressed, slowly, it is true, but steadily and, up to the present time about $;j,r00.00) have been expended in the construction. The first part of the Cathedral to be finished was the crypt, in w hich for several years daily and Sunday services have been held.
