hand the fear of kidnapping hangs
very heavily over the families of the

ter of fact, less liberty than children

King, II Is literally true that the
president OF the United States is much
more easy TO approach by any ordi'

with many New York millionaires.
The names of the possessors of great
fortunes do not appear In the tele-
phone directories. These men are not
without telephone communication with
the outside world, but they choose to
have private wires laid to their
houses, In order to avoid the annoy
ance OF being continually rung mp. In
other words, these houses are far
more isolated than the average prl-

they must endure is of course obvious
