Finding of the old book and its worn records miy clear up the mystery that the trustees of Trinity church have been able to keep inviolate, may cause the immense property to revert to the heirs of Anneka Jans, ' daughter of the Prince of Orange, who was favorite of England's then king, and acting on this belief Alfred F. Washburn, who all his life has lived asa. hard working, mod estly paid carpenter, has set. out on a quest that, containing all the elements of strange romance, may yet, ho hopes, end in blessing his old age with wealth. Alfred Washburn lives in Portland at 117 East Seventy-fourth street North. He is 88 years old and his wife and three . children, his two brothers and a sister, share his hopes. Seeing In The Journal the story of the more than fabled riches of the property Trlnljy church Is supposed to be unjurtly hold ing, and noting the request that heirs of Anneka Jans make themselves known, he related yesterday evening the story of his heirship and the plan for his quest. Proof written in Bible. Alfred Washburn, his father, was born in New Tork on the property that the king gave to the Prince of Orange and which tho prince, in his turn, willed to his daughter Anneka. There today stands the church, also .New. York's great city hall. Alfred Wash burn, Sr., was heir to the old Bible. On Ha pages, were written in legal form the documentary proof that he was a direct ' descendant -and heir of the daughter of the Prince of Orange. This Bible, was a household treasure. It was the center around which revolved the hopes renewed by the years that one day the descendants of Anneka Jans would Join forces and through the me dium of the courts take back the prop erty that once, in the borough of Man hattan, was valued at only a few pieces Of Indian wamjum, but Is now placed at an almost unbelievable price, yet is held, according to report, without title by Trinity church. The record became dimmed by reed ing and time. So bfore the death of Alfred Washburn Sr., the writing was copied verbatim into a hew Bible and was properly attested to. Washburn Sr., died. The rpother fol lowed him. The old book was left in care of the oldest of tha. U children, wSo, when she married, took It with her. The new book wan takenin-4jiarge by Marllla, another daughter, who married a man by the name of Darnell and went to live In eastern Oregon. Here Are destroyed her house and with It the BU ble. To Start Search. The oldest sister died. The old Bible was lost track of. The children, one by one, aged and died until but four remained. Then cams' the call for the heirs to report their residence and proofs. Already Alfred Washburn has learned that the old book i.s,in the pos session Of a family living somewhere on the Cowllt. - "If we find It, and if w get out rights," said the old man quaveringly yesterday evening, "we shall be rich. I remember that Frank Warren of Fort for his chance for fortune in the An heka jaw "estate, t Temember, too, what my father said: " 'If my chance in the estate of An neka Jsns is worth anything it is worth more than $10,000, and I will wait.'"

In my opin ion it Is much more for it includes some of the niost valuable property in New York."

Indications today are that a full state Progressive ticket will be put in the field for ths November election, despite the fact that, a majority of the Progressive lead ers are against such a move. The leaders, It appears, will be un able to hold in check the faction favor ing a third party ticket, and as a mere handful of men can put a ticket in the field, it is probable that the Progres sive leaders in order to save ths move ment, will have to take charge and fath er the ticket. A determined effort is being made here today to unite the Progressives. The telegrams sent by the Chicago dele gates to local leaders urge a comprom ise, and It is possible that al factions will get together on the return of the Roosevelt delegates from Chicago.
