modest little house. The walls are hung
with rare works of art. Scattered about
on the antique tables that abound in the
parlors and halls are priceless old books,
and in the great room which is used as
the main parlor there is collection of
monster japanese vases. These vases,
most of which are from eight to twelve
feet high, are ranged along the wall,
and, standing at one end of the apart
ment, one seems to be gazing down
great chamber of giant columns. The
very plates from which the guests eat
are valuable specimens of the ceramic
art.
The grounds present in summer the
same gorgeous effect. Inlaid on lawns
literally as smooth as velvet and green
as emeralds, are monster flower beds of
every shape and design. All sorts of
effects are worked out, one of the most
striking being the exact reproduction of
a Persian carpet by means of different
colored plants. Shaded walks wind in
and out, and the principal paths lead to
the greatest swimming bath ever built
in America. 1t is considerably over 200
feet long and wide in proportion, and is
fed with a constantly running stream of
salt water from the sea. The bottom
and sides are inlaid with glazed tiles.
and the huge pool is of varying depths
to accommodate expert swimmers as
well as mere paddlers.
Ranged around this pool are dainty
little tables where the bathers can sit be-
fore or after their dip, smoking, drink
ing and gossiping, while they watch the
scene. And an animated scene it is at
the height OF the season. Frisking in the
water are women of every grade of age
and beauty, but each one clad in superb
costume, generally as gorgeous in color
ing as the brilliant flower beds beyond.
Lounging here and there, or stretched
out at full length in the shaded inches at
the waters edge, are the men, appareled
almost as gayly as the women; and FORM

HOLLYWOOD'S L SPLENDOR
THE SUPERB RESORT CLAIMED BY
THE ADAMS EXPRESS COMPANY.

The Charge Is That the Owner, Ex-Pres-
ident John Hoey, Improved the Place
with Money Legally Belonging to the
Corporation.
Hollywood, the famous place at Long
Branch, n. j., owned by John Hoey, the
recently deposed president OF the Adams
Express company, viii soon figure ex-
tensively in the courts. 1t is alleged by
the directors of the express company
that most of the money which the former
president is charged with obtaining
fraudulently was invested in the Holly
wood property, and on the strength of
this assertion judge has granted at
tachments on the buildings and grounds.
For many years Hoey has annually
lavished a good sized fortune on this
wonderful resort. He bought the 250
acres which are comprised within its
boundaries for $500 an acre. Today it
is worth almost that much front foot.
Originally he intended the place for his
private summer residence. Later on he
built a big hotel on his grounds and
threw the property open to that portion
of the public which was willing to pay
from ten to twenty dollars day for
board and lodging.
But if the rates were high the surround
ings were certainly oriental in their lux
uriousness. The polished floors of the
hotel are covered with antique rugs,
many of which cost enough to furnish a
