Name Due to a Rainbow.
Mr Letchworth in his search for a site
for a country home, upward of half a
century ago. visited that part of the state.
Although the crests of the gorge had been
bereft of their trees and there were lumber
camps and debris lying all about and a
sawmill in the foreground, he saw the op-
portunities presented for making a beauti-
ful park. In the mist of the fails he sawl«e, en-colored band, and it immediate^'suggested the name. Glen Iris, which ap-
pears on the national eurveys to-day.
Mr L"tchworth added to the attractive-
neaa'ox the place for visitor* by construct-
inga fireproof museum, in which he placed
thousands of Indian relics. Among them is
a fos-il mastodon h«ad found In the neigh-
borhood, said to be one of the best pre.
served which have ever been discovered
He also caused to be transported to and
re-erected on his place the old Indian coun-
cil house which formerly stood hi Cane-
adea and was threatened with destruction.
In 1?73 -urvivors of the Iroquols Confed-eracy met on Mr. Letchworth's place and
held in this old log house the last Indian
council in the Genesee Valley. In recogni-
tion of his devotion to the Indians Mr.
letchworth was then adopted into the Sen-
eca Nation, and the name of Hai-wa-ye-I*-
tah which signifies "the man who always
does the right thing." was bestowed on
hAU in all. Mr. Letchworth EP«nt nearly
half a million dollars on the park, a large
proportion of the earnhMsoC his relatively
few years of mercantile life.
BISHOP CHANNING M. WILLIAMS.
Richmond. Va., D-c. 2—Bi.bop Channmg
Moore Williams died here to-day after an
Illness of two years. He went, years a*o.
to Japan as a missionary, and was Episco-
pal Bishop of Japan for a long term. He
was eighty-two years old.
Retires Because of 111 Health.Mr. I>»tohworth retired from business in
1573 because of ill health. In that year hewas appointed a member of the StateBoard of Charities, and for twenty-nveyears gave his rime, services and incidentalexpenses to the board, most of the timeas its president, without ever putting In abill to the state. His investigations led tomany radical reforms In the managementof charitable institutions of the state andhis works on the care of the insane andepileptics have been regarded as standards.In UM and 1881 Mr. Letchworth travelledextensively in Europe, studying this sub-ject, and. as a result, wrote a volume en-titled "The Insane in Foreign Countries."It was in 1907 that he gave Letchworth
Park tn the state. It was turned over tothe custody of the American Scenic andHistoric Preservation Society.
Glen Iris, as, Mr Letchworth called it,lies along either side of the (Jenesee River,extending northward from Portage Bridgefor more than three miles. It Includes the
three falls, which, therefore, can never bestripped of their water for power purposes.The well known Portage Bridge, on theErie Railroad. 800 feet long and 234 feethigh, spans the gorge on the property.
Not all of the 350-foot gorge throughwhich the river runs in passing from thesouthern to the northern part of the west-
ern end of the Empire State, and in thecourse of -which it changes itf> name fromUpper to l<owcr Genesee River, is !n Mr.I^etchworth'p possession. The canyon is
about twenty miles long. It extend? fromPortage north through an almost horizontalseries of layers of rock, which once appar-ently lay beneath the surface of the oceanand which consist of deposits from the sea.The three falls at the northern end includ-
ed in Glen Iris show how *he cutting wasdone. At the lower falls one can still seethe table rock and a pinnacle of rock ris-ing to the top of the canyon, indicating themanner in which the river's course has
been changed Inherent epochs.
The first cataract, or Upper Falls, is threehundred feet north of the great railroadbridge. Here the stream plunges over aprecipice seventy-one feet high A short
half mile below, and opposite Mr. I^etch-
worth's home, is the second cataract,
known as Middle Falls. It1b 107 feet high,
and suggests Niagara on a small scale.
Just below Mldale Falls the vertical wall of
the canyon Is 350 feet high, twenty feet
higher than *he Palisades at Fort Lee.
The Lower Falls are one and one-halfmiles further downstream. At these falls
the table rock and Sugar Loaf Pinna Me are
found The circuitous route which the
river has chosen in sawing its way through
the ledge adds to the picturesqueness of thescenery in Glen Iris Park.
Mr. I.etch worth was horn in Brownpville,
jpffen<on Cottntyt N- V.. in 1825. Both hisparents were members of the Society ofFriend?. While their son was stffl a childthe parents moved to Auburn. N. V.. where
the father acquired some property and wonconsiderable reputation as a pubiic spirited
citizen. The son, after completing his edu-cation, went into the hardware business in
Auburn and pioepered. In I*4B he went to
Buffalo and formed a partnership wirh
Samuel F. and Pascal P. Pratt, carrying
on a wholesale importing and manufact-uring business. He founded the big malle-
able iron works at Bla~k Rock.Following ht.« fatb»r"s lead, Mr. Letch-
worth interested himself in philanthropy.Studying th» Erie County penitentiary withthe idea of seeking a remedy from thedemoralizing results of enforced idienaas,
he conceived the plan of employing theprisoners in making goods hitherto im-ported.
In IS7I he was elected president °f theBuffalo Fine Arts Academy, holding thatoffice for tbr»e years.
Large Part of Life Devoted to
Work for Prisoners and In-mates of Asylums.
Buffalo. Dec. 2.-Wllliam Pryor etch-worth, the .giver of Letchworth Park to »he
State of New York, died at bis home. Glen

Judge Dili formed a law partnership with
John W. Griggs m. MM, which continueduntil his appointment to the bench, in 1906.
He resigned from the bench two weeks ago.
In ISBO Mr. Dill married Miss Mary W.
HanselL daughter of Btandtofa Forde Han-
\u25a0eD. of Philadelphia. She. with their threedaughters. Mrs. Gordon Grand, Mrs. Will-
iam H Trump and Miss Helen DHL sur-vives him.
This work called Mr. Dill's attention tothe opportunity of his life. It was the time
when the corporation idea was In its in-fancy. Mr. Dill saw that the era of the
firm had passed and that of the corpora-
tion had dawned. He resolved to spe<-ial-
ize in corporation law. He bent all hisenergies to the mastery of the intricacies
of this branch of his profession and was
soon in the bustneas of organizing compa-
nies. He was on the ground Boor of a new
tacal industry. One "of the first treatises
on this subject was published by him, apamphlet entitled "The Advantages of
Business Corporations." This was followedby "Dillon New Jersey Corporations" and
several other books on legal and economictopics.
In IS3O Mr. Dill, with othir?. was called
into consultation by the Governor of New
jersey with a view to raggeallug means afincreasing th« state revenues; As a resultof this, largely through Mr. Dill's sugges-tion, the corporation registration law was
passed, the most radical step in this direc-
tion yet taken by an American state.
Mr. Dill was counsel of the. Investigating
committee of th» Mutual Life InsuranceCompany, of which William H Tru«sdale
was chairman and Stuyvesant Fish andJohn W. Auchinclos were members. At
various times during his career he hadbeen a director of a large number ofcorporations. At the time of his death,
however, he had resign-d all his director-ships excepting that of the American Ra-
diator Company.
Nevertheless, the young man was deter-
mined to sr^t »n education, and workedbis way through tha preparatory school at
Obertin and through Yale, where he was
graduated in 187C. Gotasj to Philadelphia,
he studied law in the office of E. Cope
Mit'hell. and at th«* same time taught in
Samuel Clements private school In IST7
he entered the senior class of the law sc
of New York University, and earned hisway while there by teaching in Ste\ens In-stitute, at Hoboken. He was graduated the
next year, and soon afterward admitted tothe bar.
His first important case, and that whichproved a turning point in his canar, wasthat of the M-Kill'-p& Spragoe Commer-cial Agency, whose directors, H was found,
had neglected to tHa certain required state-ments and were therefore liable for thedebts of the concern, which had failed.
Mr. ImI! was retained by one of the. direc-tors, and the young lawyer won his caseon a technicality, while all the other direr-t<.rs lost. That victory attracted wide at-
tention in legal circles, and canard the N«>wJersey Legislature the following year tocorrect the defect in the. law of which hehad iak<n advantage.
Mr. I»i11 was bora on July 15, MS4, inSpcneerport, a Httle country village of ilon-r< \u25a0\u25a0 iMunty. in Western New York. It
was from his father, the Rev. James Hor-
ton EMU, that he inherited his ability as an
organizer. The elder I»ill had spent most
of bis time for twenty years in organizing
Congregational churchea, and in that work
held h record. The family went to Chi-cago when the son waa about five years
oW, where the father beeaaat pastor of th^
South Congregational Chorchi H° went
to the Ci\il War as chaplain of the famous
Illinois "Railroad Regiment." and in- IMI(iied from expoanre, leaving his family in
straitened circumstances.
Jame.-« Brooks Dill during his i-ar«>er as
\u25a0 corporation lawyer took part in the for-
mation of over soven hundred hoahMasconcerns, of whi.-h at least, thirty reachedthe dignity of trusts. He was credired with
bringing together the interests representedby Andrew Carnegie «nd Henry c. Frick.Twenty-five years before that, a student atYale, he was walßing the streets of New
Haven with newspapers under nhi waist-coat to keep out the cold, too poor to buy

GREATER BERLIN PLANNEDBillto Compel City and Suburban
Municipalities to Combine. .Berlin. Dec. 2.
—The Prussian government
has prepared a bill compelling Berlin andthe suburban municipalities to combine in
a Greater Berlin. The population of themetropolitan area is close to 3.500,000.
The measure provides for an administra-tion of th» greater city similar to that ofthe London County Council, the authority
of which would be confined to matters oftransportation. a supervisory .control overbuilding plans, with a view to uniformity
or desirable architectural effect, and the
acquisition of suburban lands for a per-manent forest and a meadow girdle.
The council would have one luindrerimembers, about one-third of whom only
would be elected from the city of Berlinproper, although furnishing three-flfths ofthe total population. This apportionment isdesigned probably to limit th* Socialist In-fluence. The capital has< long been valnlynegotiating for a greater municipal organ-
