JOHN M 'CLUSKY
 GETS A MILLION

New York, December 4-(Special )-John MoClusky of Ireland and Scotland, ar rived here today on the Cunard line steamship Campania to take possession of the million dollar estate which his broth e., James K McClusky of this city, leet him John McClusky was no at all ex- cited about taking over a million-dollar estate, even though he was found slic- ing turnips as a farm hand in Scotland by MT. Andrew Wilson, the lawyer who searched the two islands for him.
 When they told John McCllsky about his fortune he replied that he would have to go back to the turnip slicing, which the lawyers arrival had interrupted. Pos slbly John McClusky has very clear vision of what it will mean to relin- quish the calm, quiet, healthy life of a Scotch farm hand for the more feverish existence of a millionaire, weighted down with desplsed American dollars.
 He is not going to marry He is not going to buy the old home in Ireland. He is not going to remain here and be- come a mult-millionaire; in fact. John McClusky Is a most disappointing new millionaire. He is 55 years old and has worked hard all his life. His only con cession to his new financial estate IS the wearing of an emerald green velvet hat. A slight man, a bit gray in hair and mustache, he gazed today at the city which gave him his wealth with calm, disintereSted eye.
