SIR ERNEST CASSEL
HASN'T LOST WEALTH

LONDON. Feb. 10.-The many ru-
mors concerning the financial downfall
of Sir Ernest Cassell, the kings devot-
ed friend and business adviser, have
been traced to the fact that the work
on his new palace In Park Lane was
closed down for some weeks during
the height of the American crisis.
AS a matter OF fact, Sir Ernest, OF
course lost an immense sum ION pa
per-" but his main income, which is
enormous, is drawn from sound gilt
edged investments and the temporary
cessation OF work In Park Lane was
simply due TO a misunderstanding
about the marbles. which did not ar
ribe from the continent.
