OFFERED THE FAMILY JEWELS

NEW YORK, February 15.-Mrs. Hetty
Green, richest woman in America, IN an
interview yesterday said:
when the financial crash came I had
money. and was one OF the few who
really had 1t. The others had their in
fiated securities. They came to me in
droves for money, l loaned some of them,
and some of them 1 rejected. Six per
cent was what l charged them. although
l might have had 40 per cent. The rich
in New York have no money. They are
on the verge of poverty. I loaned Harry
Payne Whitney 81, 600 900. loaned money
to the New York Central. but when the
Vanderbilt family applied l refused them.
They offered me the famous Vanderbilt
jewels as security. 1 do not deal in dia-
