M0RDECA1 WHITE, PATRON OF EARLHAM, TAKEN BY DEATH

Funeral of Generous Benefactor of Friend School Held Today. DEATH WAS EXPECTED Cincinnati Financial Circles Mourn Death of Prominent Banker Mordecai Morris White, for many years member of the endowment board of Earlham college, and one of the largest contributors to that institution, who died at his home in Cincinnati Wednesday, was buried in that city today. Karlharn college was represented at the funeral by Pres. Kelly, B. B. Johnson and Timothy Nicholson, of the board of control, and John B. Dougan. Mr. White was chairman of the board of directors of the Fourth National bank at Cincinnati. The intense heat of the past summer, coupled with his advanced age, 83 years, prostrated him, and he had not been able to visit the bank for some time. His cortdition gradually became more serious, so that even after the weather moderated it became apparent to the members of his family that the end was not far away. Of Quaker Stock. Mordecai Morris White was the son of John F. White. He was born in Perquimons, County, North Carolina, February 3, 1830, and the same year, with his parents, came to Washington County, Indiana. After the death of his mother he and his brother, Francis Tom sWWte. lived with their . grandfather, Mordecai Morris, until 1845. Mr. White entered Earlham college, an. institution under the management of the Quakers. He graduated in 1850, after taking the full course, and then took a commercial course in Cincinnati. In 1851 he went to Philadelphia, where he secured a position with the mercantile house of Wood, Bacon & Co., and remained there two years and nine months. Discouraged at the prospects ot ever becoming a member of the firm, because the senior member had six sons he was training for the business, Mr. White with his brother began preparing their North Carolina plantation, which they inherited from their grandfather Morris, for their future home, intending to manage and develop it. Enters Banking. In the meantime Mr. White became Interested in banking. In 1861, in connection with John H. Hewson, receiving teller of the banking house of Evans &. Co., he organized the firm of Hewson, White & Co., private bankers. Mr. White and his brother furnished more than two thirds of the capital. The firm was dissolved in 1872 and the capital and profits distributed, the business being transferred to the Fourth National bank of Cincinnati, the ninety-third national bank established in the United States, and of which Mr. White had on June 4, 1871, been elected a director and Mr. Hewson cashier. Mr. White was elected cashier August 7. 1872, and president December 13, 1875. continuing so until January 14, 1908, when desiring to be released or some of the burdens of business, he retired from the presidency of the bank to become chairman of the board of directors, which he was at the time of his death. Mr. White retained until his death warm and intense interest in Earlham college and was for many years on the Executive Committee. He also contributed largely to its financial support and was devoted to the Quaker faith. In politics Mr. White was a Republican of the most earnest kind. He never held office, but he never failed to votein the elections, considering it a duty he owed to the state. He has contributed largely from his great fortune to religion, art, education and philanthropy. Among the beneficiaries of his generosity, besides Earlham College, are the Art Museum, the Young Men's Christian Association, the Cincinnati School of Technology, the Union Bethel and the Children's Home all of this city, and a Quaker mission in Mexico. All of this he did unostentatiously, so that few knew of his contributions. Besides his fortune in stocks and other securities, Mr. White was a large 'owner of real estate. - Mr. White was married November 3, ,185s, to Hannah Amelia Coffin, daughter of Elijah Coffin, an Indiana banki. She survives him, as do their jfour daughters, ajrs. John Gates, Cinjclnnatl; Mrs. Theodore W. Cramp, (Philadelphia; Mrs. Clarence Price, jNew York and Mrs. George D. Eustis, Cincinnati.

Collie Dog Saves Life of His Little Master

Ernest, the 2-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ma it Starr, one mile west of Boston, was saved from being killed by a blood-maddened boar Tuesday, it was reported today, by his faithful playfellow, a collie dog, "Jack." The taby was badly torn about the head and right arm by the tusks of the enraged hog, but unless blood poisoning develops he will recover from his injuries. As the boar was in the act of tearing to pieces his prostrate victim in a field a short distance from the house, the dog, which had been sleeping near the barn, heard the shrieks of Mrs. Starr while she was rushing to the rescue of her baby. The big fellow, apparently realizing some danger menaced his young master, jumped to his feet and dashed ahead of Mrs. Starr, leaped a high fence, and with a deep roar threw himself upon the blood-covered boar. The hog at once gave his undivided attention to his shaggy adversary and the battle which ensued was brief, savage and decisive. Dog Attacks Boar. The boar made desperate efforts to rip the dog with his long tusks, but the thick coat of "Jack" protected

him and he soon closed with the boar and taste of blood completely maddenand sunk his fangs into the ear of the i ed him. The boar will be killed
