MILLIONS ARE UNCLAIMED.
Great Fund Lies Dormant in England

enormous sum. During the recent par
liamentary session questions were
asked as to these unclaimed deposits.

been made. The total balances in the

but is an enormous amount. Many per-
sons are negligent In collecting govern
ment securities and dividends, or have
died without leaving heirs who have
demanded the funds. The balance OF
government stock and dividends I'M
claimed for ten years in the hands OF
the national debt commissioners on
March 81. 1904, was $13,s12.O05. The
government has taken over $5.o00.000
OF this fund for current expenses. Sim
liar appropriations OF these unclaimed
funds were made by the government In
1871 and 1908, and In 1863 Gladstone
