MILWAUKEE, LAND VALUES
SURPRISED DETROITERS
Real Estate Dealers, on Board OF
Commerce outing, Found Prices
Double Those Prevailing Here.

Some OF the local real estate men
who went on the Board OF Commerce
outing TO Milwaukee haven't recovered
yet from the shock they received when
they discovered what high prices all
classes of real estate are bringing in
that city, as compared with Detroit
prices. And none of them has been
able TO figure out why this should be
true.
Milwaukee prices are just about
double those now prevailing in De-
troit," said Frank II. Bessenger, OF
Bessenger & Moore. why. lots on
their boulevard, which is about the
same distance from the heart of the
city as ours and not nearly so improy-
ed. are selling for $500 per foot, while
ours bring from $50 TO 500 per foot.
Lots corresponding TO our swell JEFF
ferson-ave. lots with river frontage.
which are held ordinarily at from $500
TO 5000 per foot. are sold in Milwaukee
at from $1,000 to s1,400 per foot. Sub
division property is listed in the same
proportion.
For its size. Detroit has about the
lowest real estate values at the pres
ent time of any city in the country,
and they are far too low when one
compares the quality OF the property
with the property that Is being sold
in other cities for double the price"
A. A. Moore, who also made the
trips. echoes his partners sentiments.

.N Kings Park Asylum.


NEW YORK, June J.-Hans S. Beat
tie. the former traction organizer and
national politician. who escaped from
Kings Park Insane asylum last Tues

the institution today. No details OF
the capture are available. but II is
stated one OF the hospital attendants
found Beattie at the home OF friend
in New Jersey
Orderlies from the state hospital at
Kings Park. Long Island. and rela-
tives searched Manhattan and New
Jersey for Beattie. he had been an
inmate OF the asylum since July. 1905
Beattie sustained fracture or the
skull in trolley accident at Mt. Yer.
non in 1908. and the accident cost him
his reason.
For some time past he had been per-
mitted TO stroll about the asylum
grounds without an attendant. and II
is supposed that friends on the out
side helped him TO escape. Mrs. Mary
ID. Beattie, his wife. who "a superln-
tendent OF the International Sunshine
Society's home In Bath Beach, said
she heard Of his escape.
Beattie was a graduate of Columbia

howell on the banks OF Cherry Creek.
where he had lived for years eking
out bare existence for himself and
his dog.
IL the eccentric old man who lived
the life OF recluse knew anything
about his fortune he never divulged II.
Neither did he tell soul in Denver
that he was a second cousin OF Hall
Game. the famous novelist.
Philip Game had two brothers.
John, who lived for many years In
Salt Lake City. and william. who died
several years ago on the Isle of Man.
leaving four children.
John Caine died In Los Angeles two
years ago. Several years before his
death John Game had words with his
brother Philip. who left Salt Lake and
was never again heard OF by the
wealthy brother. John Gaines estate
Is valued at between 100000 and $751;
900. The estate of William Game.
who died on the Isle of Man. is valued
at about $4,000.
At the death OF John Game the Den
yer lace vendor became the heir to
half the estate left by John Game. as
we'll as half OF that left by William
Game. Search was made by the ad-
ministrator OF the John Game estate.
Just before Philip Gaines death

published in the Denver Post This
came to the notice OF the friends OF
John Game and Philip was at once
communicated with. Philip was at
once communicated with. Before he
could prove his heirship he died leav-
ing little or nothing.
Clarence j. Morley. public admins
TRAITOR, was placed in charge OF tho
estate by the county court. He and
J. c. Caine, of Salida. Col, relative
OF the shoe lace vendor. went to Los
Angeles and Salt Lake, proved the
heirship OF Philip Game through the
photograph and made claim for one
half OF the estate of John Game. This
will probably be turned over TO Mr..
Morley shortly.
After the debts of the estate are
paid the remainder will be turned over
to the four children OF William Game,
now living on the Isle OF Man.
The identification OF Philip Game
AS a brother OF William and John and
as a second cousin of Hall Game has
been completed through the photo
graph by relatives of the Caine fam
lily in Utah. Missouri, Colorado. Cali.
