Obituary John Gilbert Ward, treasurer of Bab- cock & Wilcox Co, New York, for the past 30 years, died at his home in Glen Ridge, N. J., on April 12. He was born in Cuba on July 12, 1854, where his father, an Englishman, had settled. His mother was a Cuban. Mr. Ward’s early life was passed in Dela- ware. He became connected with Bab- cock & Wilcox Co. in 1888, as a clerk in the treasurer’s office, and in 1893 he was elected a director and treasurer of the company, both of which offices he held until the time of his death. Mr. Ward was a member of a number of prominent clubs. : Shipping Board Sales The steamer Wust Torani, 8649 deadweight tons, has been assigned by the shipping board to A. H.
