Beggar Who Made
Business of It
Wealthy at Death
New York, Feb. 2 (IP) The crip
pled old man looked as though he
didn't have a dime.
He sat slumped against a build
ing, his one leg stretched out be
fore him, a crumpled hat at his
side with a few yellow pencils
in it.
"Thank you," he said politely
when sympathetic passersby toss
ed nickles, dimes and quarters to
him.
The old man's name was Rob
ert T. Ingles. He was 62. And
he wasn't as poor as he looked.
The story of how he made a
nation-wide business-oufof being
a beggar came out today, nearly
two weeks after his death in the
paupers' ward of Bellevue hos
pital on Jan. 22.
Ingles, who also was known as
Joseph E. Addeison, lived in a.
shabby Third avenue rooming
house. It was there police found
a stack of ledgers in which he
had kept a careful accounting of
his daily earnings.
Police also found notations in
dicating Ingles had accounts in
three banks in New York and in
40 throughout the country. One
account with the Manufacturers
Trust company had deposits of
$2,500, police said. The amounts
in the other banks were not dis
closed. Made Will
Ingles also had made out a will,
police discovered. In it he left
everything to a niece, Catherine
Hayes, of 532 14th St. North, Seat
tle, Wash. However, police said
thev had been unable to find her.
Walter J. Bayer, the attorney
who drew up the will, said Ingles
once told him it was a disappoint
ment In love which had turned
him into a professional beggar.
Inles also told the lawyer he had
lost his leg 15 years ago in an
accident. He was believed to have
been born in Walla Walla. Wash.
The neat, carefully kept note
books found in Ingles' room de
tailed his yearly travels. He trav
eled by automobile, trading his
old one in regularly when he
passed through Detroit.
A typical entry in his log book
was:
"Philadelphia, total pencils
800 at 9 a.m. $36 and 550 pencils
at b."
Postcards which Ingles sent
back to the attorney from Tam
pa, Fla., to Portland, Me., report
ed how his business was going.
One report said, "Business is
good. I'm staying here."
Another read, "Business not so
good. I m moving on."
"He was a very cautious bus!
ness man," detectives said. "But
it looks like It will take awhile
to straighten out how much
money he left." ,
MISSOURI IN DRYDOC'K
Norfolk, Va., Feb. 2 mi The
navy hoped to report today the
extent of the Missouri s damages
and the cost of making her ship
shape again.
Repair crews drydocked the
Mighty Mo and went to work on
her scarred and battered hull only
a few hours after the 45,000-ton
battlewagon was wrenched free
from the Hampton Roads sandbar
on which It floundered for the
most galling 15 days of its gior
ious" career.
Rear Adms. Allan E. Smith and
Homer N. Wallin, in charge of the
repair job, were confident that
a bow-to-stern inspection would
reveal only minor damage. They
believe only three of 400 under
water compartments were stove

Potato acreage allotment re
quests for 1950, as of February 1,
are fewer in number than in 1949,
according to H. P. Eby, chairman
of the Deschutes county PMA
committee.
The number of requests filled
and the number of acres request
ed have not been totaled, as yet,
Eby said, but the number of re
quests returned to the county of
fice is less than was anticipated.
The county committee feels that
some farmers who want to plant
potatoes within allotments have
not requested their allotment as
of this date, Eby reported.

allotment requests, Eby empha
sized. Letters and request forms
have been sent to all known farm
ers in the county. However, farm
ers who have moved or have come
Into the county recently may not
have received the letters and
should telephone or stop at the
PMA office immediately, Eby
said. February 1 was the deadline
set as the latest date for return
ing requests. However, requests
returned within the next few days
still will be considered.
Potato growers who plant be
yond their acreage allotments or
without allotments will be unable
to sell their 19.p0 crop to the gov
ernment at support prices and
will be ineligible for potato loans.
Also, planting beyond or without
acreage allotments will tend to de
press the 1950 commercial potato
prices, Eby said.
