Certainly no comedian ever be- fore the American public combines so many qualities as this handsome fellow, who has sung and acted his way into the hearts of millions of people. He has a winning personality, dramatic sensibil- ity and power. To the well suited play MT Olcott brings all the charms of his delightful personality, the grace and pie turesque figure nature fitted him with, keen sense of the true Irish wit and humor, a touch for comedy light as air, and exquisite In its fullness; a voice de- liciously sweet and in perfect attune with the gentle pathos and rippling fun of the Irish ballads he sings.

FORGOTTEN DEED
MAKES HER RICH
Mrs. Charles E.. Becker of New
York Profits Thru Neglect
Of Fathers Lawyers.

New York, Dec. 16.-Romances of
sudden riches in Bronx lots reached
climax today when it was learned Mrs.
Charles E. Becker owned a $4,000 in
terest in a great tract, Of which she
was in total ignorance until informed Of
her wealth by the title searchers. The
facts were revealed when j. Clarence
Davies sold the 39l lots of the Charles
Bathgate Beck tract to Henry MOrgen-
thai, president of the Central Realty
Bond and Trust company, for 81 200 900.
The property was part OF the great
Bathgate holdings, the bulk of which
was sold at auction to many buyers a
decade ago. The last three direct Bath
CAT heirs died with a month in 1908.
The old mansion tract passed to Charles
Bathgate Beck. He soon died, willing
the tract equally to Columbia College,
New York hospital, the Presbyterian
hospital, the Presbyterian Board of
Home Missions and DR.. Parkhurst s So
ciety for the Prevention of Crime. The
trustee was the Farmers Loan and Trust
company.
To offer perfect title, a search was
made by the title guarantee and trust
company. This company's report spread
CONSERVATION thruout the ten boards of
trustees. A joint meeting was hastily
summoned, to which was hidden Charles
E. Becker, of the fur manufacturing
firm of Becker & Martin. Mr.: Becker
appeared before the meeting with some
trepidation. Around a large table sat
the ten stern lawyers, clerks and steno
graphers. Mr.. Becker began to won
der what his crime was.

New York, Dec. 16.-Negotiations
have reached a stage which will result
in the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day
ton and Pere1 Marquette rail-
roads passing to :, the, control of
either the Erie Railroad company or
interests friendly to the Erie. ~
Conferences were held here yesterday

It is understood that the firm of J.

severely, Eve N understand that your ~!
wife has a $4,000 interest in this
Bathgate mansion property: What are
you going to do about it2''
Then the astounded fur merchant
learned what had been revealed by; the
search. Mrs. Becker, his wife, had been
Miss Margaret Bathgate. Her father
was one Of the three last Bathgate heirs
who had died within a month. In the
settlement of the Bathgate estate, Miss
Bathgate and her mother had received
their shares, which did not include an
interest in the old Bathgate mansion
tract. The search of the titles re-
vealed that Miss Bathgate s father,
long before his death, while ing fnan-
cial embarrassment, had transferred his
one-ffth interest in the old mansion
property to his wife. His financial con;
dition had improved later and the old
obligations were adjusted with an elimi;
nation of his interest in the homestead
tract.
But the lawyers and others concerned
in the settlement had neglectedto secure
re-transfer of the one-ffth interest
which had been made, over. to his wife
,, This one-ffth interest had been forgot
ten by everybody, even by Mrs. Bath
gate herself. Miss Bathgate. now Mrs
Becker, had never known Of it.

commission, Judge Ira B. Mills said:
