Century Titans. When he died in May 1931, the fortune of the man who had intimately affected the destinies of John Pierpont Morgan, James Jerome Hill, Andrew Carnegie and many a lesser light was estimated as high as $500,000,000. Last week the State Transfer Tax Bureau appraised it at $73,209,683 net as of the date of his death. But if it had all been dumped on last week's market, it would have fetched less than $53,000,000.* To get their hands on it, the Baker heirs had to pay a State and Federal...
...TIME erred last month in stating that the $10,000,000 of government bonds which Van Sweringen Corp. sold to Cleveland's Union Trust Co., allegedly for window-dressing purposes, "were bound by indenture" to stay in the vaults of J. P. Morgan & Co."

The bonds were merely deposited in the Morgan vaults for safekeeping. Van Sweringen Corp...
...will not attend such freak shows, Authors Bodin & Hershey have written a book that answers all conceivable questions about these monstrous mites. Midgets are correctly proportioned miniature copies of adults, usually between three and four feet tall, though some (notably the one who was photographed on J. P. Morgan's lap during a Senate investigation last year) are as tiny as 1 ft. 9 in. Midgets bitterly resent being miscalled dwarfs, who are usually misshapen or deformed. Usually born normal, and of normal parents, midgets invariably produce normal children. Though many of the earth's 2,000 living...
Though most midgets who earn their own living do it by exhibiting themselves, Authors Bodin & Hershey list midget architects, realtors, brokers, restaurateurs, watchmakers, musicians, playwrights. Smallest midgets in the U. S.: Adele Ber, 9, of Yonkers, N. Y. (1 ft. 6); Lya Graf, 32, Ringling performer and Morgan lap-sitter (1 ft. 9); Clarence Chesterfield Howerton ("Major Mite"), 26, of Oregon (2 ft. 6). Best-known midget of all time: Charles Sherwood Stratton ("Tom Thumb''), who died in 1883, after marrying Midgetess Lavinia Warren. The New York Illustrated News gave his Manhattan wedding (1863) 23 columns; to news...
