AThile she was in the asylum her small fortune increased to $2,000.000, to be divided now among seven nieces. “Money runs into money ’ rapid ly in this country, if you give it any sort o f an opportunity.

T h eD ep u ty Attorney General o f New York shows where some o f the money goes. Bogus tock sales alone take $500,000,000 from the people of the State each year. Even chat leaves a good deal of naore-y fo» other swindlers to take. Evidence at the Shenandoah in vestigation shows that Command er Lansdowne, who understood fly ing, protested against taking his chip through the storm belt of the Middle lAest, and asked for a post ponement. Those knowing nothing about fly ing but unfortunately controlling aviation in the United States, or dered aim to go, jn order to ‘im press certain S ta te fairs on the way.” Because his «advice waa not taken, Lansdowne was killed.
