FILES FORGERY AID

Interesting Legal Battle Over Will in New York. Attorneys for Heirs Claim Insects Were Used to Give Written Agreement Appearance of AgeSon Finds Document. New York.—Up in central New York for four years a remarkable law case has been going on, the World •ays. ■ . Frank B. Townsend for four years has been trying to prove that he is the legally adopted son of rich old Cyrenieus C. and Mary Jane Townsend. One of the most Important documents in the case is a time-worn, flystained slip of paper dated January 24, 1862. The defense has attacked this on various grounds. That the signature is not genuine. That somebody sweetened the paper to make flies light on it and give it the appearance -of age. Townsend, the contestant, is the son of Harriet Eaves, a widow with four children, who was taken to the almshouse forty-nine years ago. The Townsends, who had no children, had the almshouse physician bring one of the Eaves boys to their home. He was returned in a few days and a brother was substituted. This one they kept, and he, now a man over fifty years of age, is trying to prove that he was legally adopted. In 1905 Mary Jane Townsend died, and a month later Cyrenieus followed her. They had had no children and both died without maxing a will, -and a horde of Townsend heirs appeared as claimants. f Frank made application to the surrogate’s court to be appointed administrator?* as son of the The application was denied, proof being lacking of legal adoption. Immediately after the Perry-Townsend suit ended Frank began in earnest to make inquiries. He sought out old men who had been intimate with Cyrenieus Townsend and from them learned of remarks that his foster father had made. The aay following the search Frank appeared before Attorney Thomas

ONE DESIGN FOR LINCOLN MEMORIAL

Carmody with a paper apparently faded and time stained, which read: “Agreement made this 24th day of January, 1862, between Cyrenieus C. Townsend and Mary J. Townsend, of the town of Jerusalem, Yates county, N. Y., parties of the first part, and Harriet Eaves, party of the second part. In consideration of sl, parties of the first part agree to take Charles Eaves, son of Harriet Eaves, and give him a good education and at our death he Is to have all of our property, providing we have no children of our own, and if we do have children then he shall share equal with them. “It is further agreed that Harriet Eaves, gives up all claims on her son and will not try to get the boy away. “CYRENIEUS C. TOWNSEND, “MARY JANE TOWNSEND, “HARRIET A. EAVES.” The case is now on appeal in the appellate division, which among other questions will have to consider the startling theory proposed by expert Hamilton: That for the first time In history files helped to forge a document.

Birth of Industrial Combinations During McKinley’s Term Netted I Financiers Vast Wealth. New York. —The great railroad and industrial, development of this country which has gone on since the Spanish war has produced a remarkable crop of men whose fortunes have mounted into the millions at a rate unknown In any previous period of our country. One who died recently was John W. Gates. Mr. Gates’ fortune has just been appraised at $J1,000,000. Like Mr. Gates, Mr. Harrlman possessed a fortune made practically within this period. It was a much larger fortune than Mr. Gates', the estimates of it At Mr. Harrlman’s death ran as high as $150,000,000. The Harrlman estate paid taxes on a fortune of $71,000,000. Next to Mr. Harrlman the most conspicuous of the new millionaires w#o have been made essentially by railroad manipulation is Edwin Hawley. Ten years ago he was regarded as a newcomer on the financial stage and. was being described Its “Wall street’s new constructive genius in railroad of>e rations.” One of Wall streets most interesting figures in these years of rapid fortune building has been former Judge William H, Moore Of all these newly made millionaires his record is unique. Within the same period—the period that began With the consolidation of the great industrial plants—Judge Moore has made and lost one fortune, and has made another on the ruins of the first ,

Suitor Fails to Mention Children to Prospective Bride—She Tears Up Marriage License. San Francisco, Cal. —When Isidore Cohen, a San Francisco tailor, gave Minnie Levy of East Oakland a list of the assets which would go to make him a valuable husband, he neglected to inventory his eight motherless children. Everything else was told her In detail and she was so impressed that she appeared at the county clerk’s office and obtained a license to marry him. Cohen’s oversight developed and early in the ffiorning Miss Levy was at the county clerk’s office. “I have been deceived. I want my marriage license canceled,” she announced. tt ——“ Miss Levy «aid that- -Cohen explained, after the license had been issued, that he was the father of eight children. * “I don’t want to marry a family,” protested Miss Levy, as she proceeded to make confetti of the license.

BLIND MAN RECOVERS SIGHT

Piece of Cornea is Ingrafted on One Eye—Taken to Window, Describes View and Darkness Returns. Paris.—A pathetic story was told this week of a patient in a hospital who could see once, but has been'blind for many years and had recently recovered his sight only to lose it again. A piece of cornea was ingrafted on one eye and the patient kept under observation four days with his eyes < bandaged.' Then he was taken to awindow and the bandage was removed. He gave a cry of joy, for hiß sight had been restored. In transports of joy he described the color of the trees and told of the realisation of his life’s' dream to see again the beautiful things of nature. The view was only permitted for a moment. Two days later he was again led to the window for another sight of the waving trees, but when the bandage was removed slowly he was unable to see. The bit of grafted cornea had ceased to be a living thing. The operation had failed just when it seemed about to succeed.

Daniel G. Reid is a ■ man who has made a large fortune In the same record breaking time and in much the same way. With him should be classed the late William B. Leeds, for they hewed their way together, “two little Indiana boys,” Reid used to call them. As the youngest, possibly, of this remarkable group of swiftly made men of millions, Chaises M. Schwab has come in for perhaps more attention than many of the older figures in It Strictly speaking, he belongs to the Carnegie group of millionaires, men whom the ironmaster tooth into partnership and helped to pu J along toward fortune, though belonging to a younger generation than himself. William E. Corey and (Several other men might be named in this group. Their fortunes have been made in the same quick manner. The career of Schwab has been almost These are perhaps the most conspicuous figures in the group of new men of great fortunes in this country. It is a group that is younger than the men with fortune made from oil and the railroad development of a quarter of a i century ago. Twenty-five years ago few of these men had even the small beginnings of a fortune. Almost without exception their fortunes, running up into millions, have been made since McKinley was inaugurated and the Maine was sunk in Havana harbor. :

COST OF GRAIN GROWING IN CENTRAL CANADA

A careful canvass made of a number of men farming in a large way Indicates that even with the extreme expense of harvesting, the crop, which has been caused by the bad weather and difficulty In threshing, wheat has been produced and put on the market for less than 55 cents’a bushel. The average freight rate is not over 13 cents per bushel. This would make the cost of prodnctlon and freight 68 cents and wduld leave the farmer an actual margin on his low-grade wheat of 17% cents and for his high-grade wheat-of 19% cents; and though this is not as large a profit as the farmer has every right to expect, it Is a profit not to be despised, and which should leave a very fair amount of money to his credit when all the expenses of the year have been paid, unless the value of low-grade wheat sinks very much below Its present level. A matter of importance to the prospective settler is that of the cost of production. The following table has been prepared after careful Investigation:

Interest on 320 acres, value |3O per acre, 3 years at 6 per cent Interest .... $1,720.0(P Interest on horses, machinery, wagons, ploughs, harrows, etc., to operate 320 acres —say $2,500 for 3 years . 450.00 Getting 320 acres ready for - crop first year, doing one’s own work, with hired help, about 33.50 per acre....... 1,120.00 Getting 320 acres ready for crop,, second and third year, about $1.25 per acre per year, or 32.50 per acre 2 years one’s own work and hired help 800.00 Seed per year, wheat, per acre 31.25, 3 years 1,200.00 Seeding, 320 acres, 25 cents per acre, 3 years 240.00 Twine, 320 acres, 30 cents per acre, 3 years 288.00 Harvesting, 320 acres, 30 cents per acre, 3 years.... 288.00 Marketing, 320 acres, estimate 20 bushels per acre per year for 3 years, 3 cents per bushel, or 9 cents per bushel for 3 years..... 676.00 Threshing 320 acres, estimate 20 bushels per acre per year fora years, 6 cents per bushel per year or 18-^ cents for 3 year 5......... 1,152.00 Total ......37,834,00 Cr. By wheat crop farm 320 acres for 3 years, average 20 bushels per acre per year for" 3 years, or a total of 60 bushels, = 19,200 bushelß at 80 cents per bushel $15,360.00 Balance to credit of farm after 3 years operation, $2,663.00 per year 7,526.00 “To operate 480 acres would cost less in proportion, as the plant required for 320 acres would do for the larger farm, and the Interest on plant for the extra 160 acres would be saved.” The figures given may be open to criticism, but they will be found to be reasonably accurate, with a fairness given to the expense columns. There - are.-those who profess to do the work at a much less coat than those given.
