WHAT ANDY WILL DO WITH HIS MILLIONS

Mr.. Carnegie introduced the sub
ject of the disposal of his fortune
after he was gone. He showed Mr..
Bigelow his will, which had been
drawn recently, but pledged him
not to reveal any of its contents
until he is dead.
That the provisions of the docu-
ment are unique and that it pro-
vides for the expenditure of many
millions for philanthropic purposes
is admitted by Mr.. Bigelow. Pitts
burg. upon which Mr.. Carnegie has
already spent something over $780,
600, 900, comes in for another big
slice.
During the course of the CONVEX
sation Mr.. Bigelow said Mr.. Car
negie remarked Eyes, here l am
willing to give more millions to
Pittsburg but they don't have the
brains there to use it." Mr.. Bige-
low took it that the steel king
meant that Pittsburgers do not
possess the business insight to
carry out his plans the way he
wants them.

To the establishment of his

LITTLE TRAVELLER FAILS TO
FIND FATHER

Little 10-year-old Charley Man
ming arrived at the Northern Pacific
depot this morning from Denver,
Colo. He expected to meet his IA
Their, plumber named Charles
Manning, whom has been in Spo-
kane for the past two years. But
the father did not appear and in
stead big policeman took Charley
to the station house, where he tear
fully told about being lost. He says
his father was to send for him but
didn't, SO his mother bought him a
ticket and let him come on.
The Mannings live at 1924 Thirty
fifth ST., Denver. There is no rec
ord of a Manning as a plumber in
the city directory here and the po-
lice have thus far been unable to
locate him. In the meantime
Charley is well taken care of and
if his father does not show up he
will be given over to the care of
the Salvation Army matron until
he can be restored to his mother.
