AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET
\ 10 PER CENT IN

NESTMENT.

Why not convert your dwelling
house or vacant property into
something that will pay you 1919
or 1910 net? We represent a
number OF apartment houses that
can be traded. The owners will
trade the equity in them subject
to reasonable mortgage and take
clear dwellings, and lots as pay
ment. There are many persons
owning dwelling houses valued at
from 10000 to $4,000 who do not
receive over 4% or $50 from the
rentals. These houses may be
very desirable as homes for the
owners, but when it comes to
renting them they do not pay at
all. We will give you an oppor
tunity to convert such holdings
into equities that will pay you

quested to furnish the Mississippi

of data and information concerning
the river and rail commerce of this

The casket containg the celebrated
gems in the Reed-Letten scandal is
now safely secured in the massive steel
vault in the Office of the Civil Sheriff.
True to his word, Dennis Corcoran,
who was intrusted with the diamonds,
( appeared in the office of the Clerk of
the Civil District Court yesterday af-
ternon (Monday) and offered to pro-
luce the diamonds in court. How
ever, the matter was placed in the
hands of the Civil Sheriff, and Depu-
ty Charlie Jackson took charge
I would have rather thrown the
whole business in the Mississippi River
han have given them to Flynn tc
ell, said Corcoran yesterday. "The
diamonds were placed in my care, and
knew it was done for the purpose of
safeguarding the woman, and not to
put them within easy reach of
Flynn. ;"
The attorneys representing Captain
John Fitzpatrick became nervous dur
ing the morning hours, when it ap-
peared as though Corcoran would not
show up as he promised. When noon
came Col. John P. Sullivan busted
himself at one of the desks and hasti-
ly prepared rule to compel Corcoran
to appear in court and produce the
diamonds. Just as the clerks were
preparing the writs to be issued, Cor
coran entered the old building. He
carried two packages one in each
