SIR TOM LIPTON LEAVES
FORTUNE TO UNFORTUNATES
GLASGOW, Scotland, Oct. 7.—The
money of every land which came to
Sir Thomas Lipton in exchange for
his tea and other commodities was
passed on to the sick and needy by
his will, which was read by the ex^
ecutors a few minutes after his body
was lowered into the grave.
The bulk of his estate, which is es
timated to exceed 1,000,000 pounds
goes to hospitals, infirmaries and old
men's homes and to London and Mid
dlesex charities. By today's London
exchange rate, 1,000,000 pounds
about $3,910,000.
Sir Thomas never married and had
no immediate relatives to remember,
but thefe were several bequests
members of his domestic staff, in
eluding John and Shamrock, the Sing-
halese servants who always were with
him.
The gold loving cup presented
Sir Thomas by the people of the Uni
ted States after his last unsuccessful
attempt to win the America’s cup,
was left to the New York yacht club
“I would like to add a personal
note that they are the very best
sportsmen and I appreciate very much
the many kindnesses shown me by
them,” the will said.

“I have used Black-

that could take its
place. I take Black-

that unfits me for my
work. After I take a
few doses of Black-

right. When I begin
to get bilious, I feel
tired and run-down,

for rain as we were in our last re-

stock this winter.

AUSTIN, Oct. 9.—H. Grady Chand-
ler, professor of law in the Univer-
sity of Texas, formerly an assistant
attorney general, Thursday testified
before the Texas senate in the im-
peachment trial of District Judge J.
B. Price of Bastroy that he had warn-
ed the respondent some of the items
he approved in a claim of the late
Sheriff John T. Carlisle of Lee county
were illegal.
Chandler said he made a trip with
several others to Bastrop in an effort
to get strightened out a claim ap-
proximating $18,000 for mileage and
witness fees made by Sheriff Carlisle
and approved by Judge Price. Later,
some months after Chandler’s visit,
the claim, covering October, 1925, and
April, 1926, terms of Lee county dis-
trict court was scaled down to
$7912.10 and a deficiency warrant is-
sued for that amount. The deficiency
warrant, however, has never been paid.
“I pointed out the items we consid-
ered illegal and told Judge Price the
state was not liable for those,” Chan-
dler testified. “I had with me and
called Judge Price’s attention to an
opinion of the supreme court in which
it was held that a sheriff was entitled
to fees, only for each mile actually
traveled regardless of the number of
witnesses subpoenaed in one communi-
ty in one visit.”
WASHINGTON, Oct.' 8.—President
Hoover’s plan for speeding prosper-
ity’^ return was spurred forward
Thursday by the whole-hearted co-
operation of America’s financial ti-
tans.
The half-billion-dollar credit pool
proposed by the chief executive is to
be formally incorporated by Saturday.
Soon afterward it will be put to its
task of loosening the frozen assets
now clogging the channels of com-
merce.
Mr. Hoover received this word dur-
ing the day from Governor Harrison
of the New York Federal Reserve
Bank, to whom was given the assign-
ment of marshaling the Nation’s re-
serve dollars into 'jthis momentous
move for better times.
In the meanwhile there was un-
folded an intimate tale of the careful
methodical planning from which the
project grew, including a secret meet-
ing between the President and a group
of influential bankers Sunday night
at Secretary Mellon’s apartment.
During the day Mr. Hoover deliv-
ered a brief address before the fourth
Pan-American commercial conference
and brought 600 delegates from the
nations of the New World to their
feet in a rousing ovation.
If international loans had been de-
voted to productive purposes in the
last four years, Mr. Hoover said, much
of the seriousness of the economic
situation would have been averted.
The day also saw a new demand for
a special session of Congress from
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
Democratic leader. He said Mr. Hoo-
ver’s program was sound, as far as
it wen':, but that much supplemental
congressional action was needed. Rep-
resentative Snell of New York, a
prominent Republican candidate for
the speakership, issued a statement
opposing the extraordinary session.

Traveling man (to acquaintance

PENVER, Colo., Oct. 8.—The
“scarecrow man” who stands rigid and
mute in a room at the Colorado Psy-
chopathis Hospital with his arms out-
stretched was identified Thursday as
Charles Mays of Beardsley, Kansas.
His breathing is the sole evidence
that he lives.
He was identified by Jhis brother,
Wesley. In the hospital room where
the man has been confined since he
was found Sunday in a cornfield near
Holyoke, Colo., the “scarecrow man”
gave no indication that he knew his
brother, physicians said.
Wesley Mays told hospital authori-
ties his brother left home last June.
Physicians said they were of the
opinion Charles is suffering from a
combination of amnesia and aphasia.
A Deputy Sheriff of Holyoke, Colo.,
driving near there saw the man stand-
ing with his arms outstretched in a
corn field and thought at first he
was a scare crow.
There is only one way to establish
this country: Jones, who is worth
$500 must get over the idea that he
can keep up with Smith, who is worth
$500,000. . The longer we live the
more we are convinced that the near-
est approach to happiness is the stern
decision of the individual to be happy
within his financial means. In 1931
quite a few of us are in a sad plight
financially because time was when we
all were four-flushers. Simplicity of
living is the thing.—Atchison Globe.

parts of the world.
The Chapel has a patio with
a beautiful fountain especially

The exterior of the Chapel is
of Indiana limestone and of a

beautiful structures in all of
