MURRAY ADAMS MAX BIT BIT RECOVERED MONEY Benevolent Cousin In Spain Offered Fortune for $181 and Pete Murray Took the Offer Learned of Trick and Blocked Same. Peter Murray, the well known resi dent of Adams, wants to hear no more ti auutini relatives in opain ana ne says he would not bite now if a man would offer to sell him twenty dollar gold pieces at half price. "It seems that a sucker is born every minute." said Mr. Murray in a solilo quizing way today while In this city. "I was one. They offered me the bait and I bit like a big fish. I swal lowed it whole, but they did not land me because I got away." Distant Relative Scheme. It was the "distant relative in Spain" scheme that lured the Adams man into parting with some JSS4 of hard earned money. At the time the scheme looked good to Mr. Murray but it doesn't now. "Louis Rodriguez Murray of Ma drid" was the name of the benevolent relative. He had formerly been in Paris, according to the information given Mr. Murray, and he knew some thing of the Panama canal fraud, though in an entirely innovent way. He had some 98,600 pounds in tsone and a daughter of 12 whom he wished to have cared for. While in Madrid and preparing to depart for America and had an altercation with an offi cer during which he .was wounded and so was the officer. In the jail Mr. Louis Rodriguez found a friend in the prison chaplain, Don Jose Bruch, and through him he was en abled to write to Adams and tell of his woe. In brief the noble hearted man in Spain wanted Mr. Murray to take charge of his daughter and likewise of the paltry 98,000 pounds and to use one fourth of the money for his own purpose. However the trunk in which the money was contained was held by the Madrid police and it would require $481 to satisfy the legal claim against It. An official order from a court In Madrid and showing this sum to be due was sent Mr. Mur- In Who Discoverd the North Pole ? to We don't know anything about the Xorth Pole Cook & Perry both say they discovered it.

So good did this proposition look t Mr. Murray of Adams, who by thel way does not look easy either, that hw not only sent the needed I4S1 but he went even further. Ho sent two tickets calling for the transportation of his relative and his daughter from Madrid to Adams. These tickets cost $353. Then for good measure he sent J 50 in currency. "I thouRht they were in trouble and I was not going to be n piker," said Mr. Murray In explaining his generosity. The Bream Dispelled. It was on May 10 last that Mr. Mur ray sent his hurd earned coin to Spain and but a few weeks afterwards he learned that he had been bunkoed. His suspicions were first aroused when he read in papers of other gen tlemen who had ulso found "lost rel atives in Spain." Thereupon he got busy and ordered the refusal of pay ment on the draft he had issued and also wrote the nieriean consul at Madrid, in reply the consul informed him that the scheme was a bunco game an. I that he was receiving let ters regarding U almost daily. Through the timely warning given, the letter containing the money and the tickets was not called for at the Madrid office and after due formality Mr. Murray had the missive returned t.i him. He received It November 2! and has also hern able to secure a re fund in" the amount of the tickets. The scheme worked upon Mr. Mur ray was very similar to the one tried upon Roy Crystal of the Peoples Warehouse last spring. Mr. Crystal declined to accept the proffer of as sistance from his "relative." PERSONAL MENTION M-VEAGII RArs CTSTOM HOCSK.

He declares the estimates for the coming year are presented as a "care ful measure of actual Irreducable needs of government." The time Is nearly ripe," he says.

One of these results from Improved han dling cf government work and the cutting off of avoidable expenditures without injury to the service or the people; and the other from postpone ments of expenditures which can he delayed and subjected-to more thor ough economic scrutiny. Uevlso Appropriations. In order to effect full permanent reductions In appropriations he sug gests that there should be taken Into consideration: The heavy losses to the government on second-class mail matter which require a discrimination to be made between mail matter de manded by the interests of the peo ple and that which merely promotes private gain: the excessive expendi tures for public buildings which sug gest the simple arrangement by which such buildings will be approved -and ordered for the needs of the public service only; the expenditures for public works; and the expenditures r..r i.roitini?
