destal of statute in the library.
stocks and bonds worth more than
$500 ard 10000 in money were
found in a secret drawer In the pan
try. 1t is believed that still more
treasure will be found in the house.
The finding of the treasure was en-
urely accidental. 1t was located by
the grandson of Mrs, Moss, Beverly
Kator, a 19-year-old student at Col
umbia university, who is one Of Mrs
Moss three heirs. Mrs. Moss died or
January Is. While 1t was known that
she possessed antique jewelry of great
value, no trace of it could be found
It was known that after her husband
died Mrs MGss had refused to put
her money In either banks or safety
deposit vaults, but what she did dC
with it was a mystery to all.
\ few days ago by chance Beverly
Kator happened to stumble against
pedestal supporting a statue in thu

ASTOR, BY NEW GIFTS,
COURTS KNIGHTHOOD

william Waldorf Astor Is
to contribute heavily to another OF
King Edwards pet charities. He has
offered, through his son, practical
" unlimited sum to the Kings hospit-
al fund for the plan of dealing with
tuberculosis, and as this Is a project
in which His Majesty Is deeply inter-
ested, the gift undoubtedly will aid
In creating a kindly feeling towards
Mr.. Astor.
Mr.. Astor has given many hundreds
OF thousands Of dollars to create and
foster this kindly feeling. He has
contributed generously to many chari-
ties in which the King has been In
terested but as yet his reward, II he
expects a reward, is to come. There
have been many persons who, by
gifts of this kind, have attained
knighthood, and 1t has been said many
times that this is Mr.. Astor's objec-
tive. So far, however, the giving has
all been from Mr.. Astor's side.
Besides money donations, Mr.. AS
tor bought the Balaclava bugle and
gave IT to the British museum. He
also purchased the flag of the Ches-
peake, which was captured by the
shannon in 1913, and presented 1t to
the Royal United Service Museum. Al
the time Princess Maud was bethroth-
ed he sent her a magnificent uncut
diamond.
