It was a thin, narrow face that stared back at them, but It was not the face of a fool. Few men without the early advantage of financial training had Impressed themselves on Wall Street as he had done. The collapse of International Motors and the failure of the Hazen Brewer crowd to break him made Baxon for the moment the most spectacular figure In New York. And yet none of Milman's guests had ever before seen a photograph of him. He had a knack of outwitting the newspaper photographers. He had smashed many cameras. It had come to be understood that to attempt to photograph him was to incur the enmity of a man who never forgave or forgot. "That he broke Professor Bradney was a precautionary measure and not born of any personal malice. No doubt his subordinates had found the professor was not rich and supposed him Is hardly a ripe for the fall.

One amusing incident he recorded concerned a Presbyterian minister at Brownsville, who bestirred himself to dispose of his three marriageable daughters. The minister, noting that no one sought the hands of his daughters, preached a sermon on the subject of marriage, amplifying the text in Genesis, "Increase and Multiply." He spoke with eloquence and warmth on the bliss of the hymeneal state and ended by offering his three daughters, with $3,000 of fortune for each, to whomsoever would espouse them. He added that he would receive the names of the candidates after service. A wag In the congregation did not wait for the time prescribed by the minister, but shouted from his pew: "Put my name on the list for two."

The feathered refugees were fed by the Red Cross, as were 30,000 hogs, 10,000 mules and some 30.000 head of cattle. One of the problems arising from the work was to find the owners.
