Aldrich Tells Senate He Could Run
Government on Business Basis.

Washington, D. C.-In the Senate
the Taft Administration was attacked
from an entirely new quarter. This
time extravaganza was the cry raised
by the insurgents against the Admin
istration and its regular" support in
Congress.
One result of the attack, which was
led by Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, and
Senator Bristow, of Kansas, was the
declaration by Senator Aldrich that
if he were allowed to run the Govern
ment on a business basis he could
save the Nation 100000 year.
Another was a practical admission
that the Senate Committee on Public
Expenditures, which was appointed
for the sole purpose of reducing dis
bursements, and from which Mr.. Taft
had hoped great things, had failed in
its task.
The discussion arose when Senator
Aldrich, of Rhode Island, acting for
the committee in question, reported
favorably a resolution authorizing the
appointment of commission of nine
members to investigate and report
on the business methods Of the Gov
eminent, making recommendation as
to improvements and the elimination
OF duplicated posts.

MAN OF MYS7ERY'S PAST DISCLOSED
Millionaire George Nelson Was Really George Dunn Who,
HopeessIy in Debt Left Chenango Forks N Y--Society
Mans Widow Left Him Fortune.
KNELL TO HOPES OF A GREAT HOST OF
NELSON'S CLAImNG THE ESTATE AS RELATIVES

Springfield, Mass. - Disclosures
made concerning the past life of
Springfield's Man of Mystery, .
George D. Nelson, who died on Febru-
airy 8, gives death blow to the
claims of scores of alleged heirs to
the $1,000,000 estate he left. The
result of a careful investigation APP
pears to show beyond doubt that the
so-called Nelson was really George
Nelson Dunn; that he was born in
Chenango Forks, N. Y, lived there to
manhood, and that he changed his
name and became lost to even his
near relatives because of business
venture in which he sunk all of his
money and became involved in debt.
Hitherto all knowledge of Nelson's
past was that he came here thirty
years ago. driving from the West two
blooded horses purchased by a rail-
road president; that Bliss Vinton, a
young society man, gave him a posi-
ton ON the Vinton estate, of which he
became manager; that upon the death
of Vinton, Mrs. Emma Goodrich Vim
ton, the widow, who lost both of her
hands in a fire, valued his services so
highly that she persuaded him not to
make marriage he contemplated;
and that upon her death in 1908 he
inherited her entire fortune of $780,
600. Mrs. Vinton's relatives made a
strenuous effort to break the will, but
failed.
Recently Nelson sent for his
nephew, George G. Dunn, of Camden,
Oneida County, N. Y, travelling
salesman for a Rochester company,
and informed him of their relation
ship. He left his entire estate to
George G. Dunn, ignoring his only
surviving brother, Andrew w. Dunn,
a grocer, of Chenango Forks, father
of George G.. Dunn; the latter's
brother William, of Fulton, N. Y,
and Georges sister, who lives in Os-
wego
The man so long known as George
D. Nelson was the son of Nelson
Dunn, and was born in 1S45, on a
farm in the town of Greene, Chen
ango County. He was graduated from
Syracuse business college, and be-
came shipper of butter and eggs to
the New York City market. He was
doing a fine business when he was
ruined by glut in the butter market
in 1869, at a time when he had just
/ laid down in New York an especially
large shipment of butter. Disheart-
ened, and believing himself hopeless
(. ly in debt, he disappeared from Chem
ango Forks.
There is no trace of him for the
next eleven years, and until thirty

2 Albany, N. Y.--n the annual re-
port in the State Commission in
Lunacy, of which DR.. Albert Warren
Ferris is president, statistical an
alysis shows an increase in the ratio
of the patients committed to institu-
tions in the State for the insane. The
report points out the ratio of the
committed patients has increased
from 255 to 100000 of the popula-
ton of the State in 1889 to 362 to
100000 of the population in 1909.
The ratio has increased, however, less
rapidly in the last decade than in the
period from 1889 to 1899.
The report shows that the insanity
among men. Although several rural
counties containing small cities have
high rate of insanity, in general the
urban counties, particularly New
York County, have the largest ratio
of insane to the population. The re-
port shows the majority of the cases
of insanity is among foreign born.
The report says that at the close of
the fiscal year there was an excess
of patients over accommodations
amounting to 1919. The commission
deplores the failure of the Legisla-
ture to provide the necessary funds
for beginning work on new hospital
in Rockland County. The number
of persons in public and private hos
pitfalls for the insane and in the two
criminal institutions at the close OF
the year amounted to 31,541.
OF this number. 5,107 were men.
The net increase of patients in all
hospitals for the year amounted to
1884. In the course of the year.
however, 1924 persons were dis
charged as entirely recovered, 215
discharged as much improved and 901
discharged as improved.
The expense of maintaining the
various institutions, including new
buildings, amounted to $6,899, 900.
For the coming year, the Commits
sioners estimate, there will be needed
$S,420,000, of which $5,S90,000 is
estimated as the cost of maintaining
an average population of 81 900 pa
tients and 5000 employees. About
$2,385, 900 is needed to provide addi.
lions to existing hospitals.
Under the direction of Commits
sioner Ferris the scope of the work in
the psychiatric institute ON Wards

on by DR.. Adolf Meyer.

An Edible Flower

An edible flower, the mhowad, is to
be seen in one of Washington's boz
tanical gardens In India they make
of this flower a soup, bread, a wine
and brandy.
The mhowad grows on mhowad
tree, as the tulip grows on the tulip

bigger than tulip, and it's corallae

Dried and pounded into powder
the mhowad makes sweet, rich,
wholesome bread. Fermented in
spring water, very delicate wine is
yielded by the useful bloom, and dis
titled the mhowad renders up an

ance, find it difficult to resist.-Phila-

counsel, Martin w. Littleton, when
outlining the Aids defense to the
bribery charges of Senator Benn Con-

1t was Mr., Aids election to the
temporary presidency of the Senate
that brought ON the bribery investiga-
ton, Conger having declared he would
not vote for Aids because he per
sonally knew" Aids had accepted a

Mr.. Littleton in his opening, "be-

years ago, when he delivered the
horses here, and was employed by
Bliss Vinton. He had left in Chen
ango Forks his father and mother,
sister, Mabelle, and two uncles, An
drew w. and Bagley T. Dunn. OF
these only Andrew Dunn survives.
For two or three years after his dis
appearance he sent few brief COM
munications to his old home, but he
gave no opportunity by which he
might be found, and his friends and
neighbors finally believed that he was
dead
When Dunn arrived here he called
himself George D. Nelson. AS he
grew in favor with Vinton and Mrs.
Vinton, and finally inherited the Vim
ton estate, there was much specula-
ton as to his antecedents, and the
humble manner in which he had made
his advent in Springfield was recalled.
He told nothing of himself, and be-
money and became heavily involved
in debt.
Mrs. vinton built a hotel and a
theatre, which Nelson managed, and
to which, when they became his prop
erty, he gave his own name. He was
a shrewd business man and nearly
doubled the Vinton Inheritance.
In the light of these developments
it is now clear why Nelson never reg
istered Eere as a voter. He could not
have answered the necessary queries
as to his name, birthplace, etc, with
out disclosing either his real identity
or committing perjury.
1t was announced after Nelson's
death that his sole heir, George G.
Dunn, was the son of sister. The
belief exists here that the nephew
and his advisors have permitted the
facts in Nelson's life to become pub
| lie in order to set at rest the claims of
those persons named Nelson who as
sert that they are relatives of the
| testator. They write from nearly
every part of the country, and one, at
! least, came here to enforce his alleged
relationship Frank E. Carpenter,
Nelson's attorney, declined to affirm
or deny the story of his former
/ clients life. He said that granting
the story to be true, the validity of
the will was not involved.
THAT document" said he, "can be
broken on only two grounds-un-
sound mind or undue influence. We
are prepared to show that Mr.. Nell
sons mind was absolutely clear, and
| that every bequest was inserted at his
express direction and without SUCCESS
ton from any other person. The.
witnesses are wholly disinterested
