MELLON NEARS 74; IN CABINET UNDER 3 HEADS Treasury Secretary Will Celebrate Birthday On March 24 By Cecil Lwen (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, Mar. 23 —(UP)—Seated behind his big mahogany desk In his sunlit office on the second floor of the massive Treasury Department, Secretary Mellon. 74, years ol tomorrow, continues at his accustomed tasks today. Though he is said to be the third wealthiest individual in the United States, Mellon Is also one of the hardest working officials in the government. He has spent most of his birthdays since he has been in the Cabinet at his desk. When he accepted the financial portfolio in the Hoover cabinet. Mellon became the only Treasury Secretary who has ever served under three presidents His eight years in office under Harding and Coolidge, however, have been surpassed by one man who served nearly 13 years. This man—Albert Gallatan—also a Pennsylvanian, was Secretary from 1801 to 1814 under Presidents Jefferson and Madison. A large portrait of Gallatan is suspended on the walls directly behind Mellon’s desk while over the fireplace hangs a portrait of Alexander Hamilton, first Treasury Secretary. Part of Gallatan’s term, however, was spent aboard. Mellon explained recently, and he was replaced before his return. During Mellon’s incumbency of the Treasury portfolio there have been a great number of highly Important financial developments. He took office March 4. 1921, and has guided the country's finances through the readjustment period of the post war era. Four tax reductions, aggregating $200,1100,000, funding of the foreign debts, and a reduction of $8,000,000 in the public debt, are the high lights of his administration. While Mellon has no hobby in the ordinary sense, his intimates say he finds more pleasure in a sea voyage than almost anything else. He usually goes to Europe on his vacations, and is said to have made about 60 trips in his life time. In common with some of the other cabinet members. Mellon walks to work each morning from his palatial Dupont Circle apartment He has lost hardly a day from ill health since he entered the cabinet. o BLUFFTON BANK IS CLOSED AGAIN (CONTINUED FKOM PAGIC ONE) to withdraw their money after the bank was re opened Thursday.

WAYNE; TWO SIGN CONFESSIONS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) source that the men would enter Adams circuit court some time during the early part of next week and every indication pointed to the fact that all four would plead guilty to participation in one of the two Linn Grove robberies.

Sheriff Harl Hollingsworth and hts deputies and State's Attorney Nathan Nelson continued their work of gathering evidence today and Prosecutor Neleon stated that be was confident he had sufficient evidence to convict all four men in case they did not all four plead guilty. o Similar Holdings In Bridge Hands Reported Nashville, Tenn., March 23—(UP)— A set of four Bridge hands dealt in Nashville rivals that reported recently from Hawaii where four players each held all the cards of one suit.
