New York, July 29.—Although every tongue In Wall slraet talked today of Russall Hage's death, which occurred yesterday at hla county home, “Cedar Craft," at Lawrenca, L. I., the passing of the 90-year-old financier was ex pected to cause no such disturbing ef fect upon tha market as did Ills suddan serious lllneas of a few years ago.

In the far-seeing forethought which governed all of hla business affelrs, Mr. Sage had considered the probable III effect and financial worry Incident to the removal of the largest Ind operator In call loans In the world.

Saga, Charles Woabero, for many year* Mr. Sage's cashier und cpnfldentlat man, and Dr. Munn. Pefldinf a formal statement of the purport of the will, nothing Is ascertainable about the re port current In Mr. Sage's latter years that he had devised aome large benevo lences under the advice of Mr*.

"Everybody will be very much sur prised to learn what I have done with my money," Mr. Saga said a year or ao ago, to un Intimate friend, "hut they will never learn until I am dead."

Mr. Huge was only slightly Injured by the explosion. Tho clerk who was Injured claimed that he was uaed as a shield by Mr. Sage, and brought suit to recover damages. Mr. Sago fought the cose, but the clerk finally recovered damages. The Identity of the dyna miter was established by Isaac D. White, a reporter for The New York World, where the only clue was a small hone coat button and a link of ntch chain. He waa a human machine for money making, and cared nothing for art, music, society or entertainment. Good horse* were hla only hobby. CLEWS THINKS SAGE LEFT AID TO CHARITY. By Private lAaaed Wire.

Probably no man wn* In closer touch with Mr. Sage nnd pos sessed n more comprehensive Insight Into the workings of the venerable mil lionaire mind than Mr. Clews. The two men were neighbors. “You may quote me aa saying that many persona will be extremely sur prised when Mr. Sage's will Is read," said Mr. Clews, "It u II surprise those who believe that he devised moat of hla huge fortune to hla family and kinsfolk. Ultimately the hulk of Mr. Sage's money will be dispersed, I think, In chiinnela where It will dn the moat good. This may not be until after the demise of Mrs. Rage, who Is a remark ably healthy, hearty and brainy wom an. In connection with Mr. Bagc'a dis posal of hla fortune, It may be well to remember that Mr*.

Mark Johnston, can. illdate for state *< hool commissioner at the court house Frldaj-night last Those present enjoyed' a rare treat indeed. Itare In two Instances—rare in the fact that there waa no “mud-allng. Ing;” rare again that it was a most eloquent presentation of plain, althouah vary sad, truths. • The' speaker's first words were- "Each week In the warpath of might will be a rock In the temple of right" Said he: "This beautiful truth I found engraved in letter* of atone on tha monument erected to' the Immortals of '81 to '62—the monument erected to the fallen heroes by their, sweethearts and wives, their daughters, sisters and mothers—situated In the center of your historic city." Hla application of the quotation was' In the warpath of the great book trusts waged against the people of Georgia, the wrecks along the route of might had already been made Into rocks for the temple of right:" that tha builders were now at work; that the temple would be completed th* night of the 23d day of Auguet, 1968. He further said: "Georgia haa no negro problem, ex cept In So far aa the problem of ler- vants, the problem of labor, enters Into It." He spoke feelingly and at length of the fact that ao many of the while children In Georgia were not enrolled In the common achools, saying: "On* hundred and sixty thousand whits children In Georgia are at work In field and factories aljlng their parents to pay the balance due on homes, to pay taxes, and yet to pay for the edu cation of negro children. “The misguided philanthropists of th* North gives to negro education In Oeor. gla of hla wealth. We of the 8outh can continue our support to the negro schools only by compettlng our chil dren to resign themselves to the me nial labor which th* negro child has deserted. For twenty-nine years tha whtta man's taxes have supported ne gro schools, and today practically every negro child In Georgia Is attending school. All over Georgia I have seen the struggle of these white children ta rise from the prison of their mean es tate. I-ct us be men, my brothers, and answer the cry of thla great army of our own blood. These one hundred and sixty thousand little ones, our pwn kith and kin, must and shall have the chance at least to become that for which God Almighty Intended them. We have given the negro child our bounty for twenty-nine year*; shall we not give our. own white child at least a negro'i chance?” Mr. Johnston said further: "The fair- minded, honest negro la not opposed to the division of the school fund as sug gested"—that the book trust and their hirelings alone could see the so-called Injustice to the poor negro. Although the weather wae exceeding ly warm. jar. Johnston spoke for two hours. We would be pleased to give hla apeech in full, but well know your valuable apace forbid*.
