EUROPE TAKING BILLION
A YEAR FROM us.
Terrific Drain Out of the
American Pocket.

New York, May 27-That Europe is
now absorbing the wealth of this coun-
try at rate of approximately ST.
100000 annually is the astonishing fact
just brought to light here by figures
collected for private purposes. For
many years there has been outspoken
criticism of the manner in which
foreign countries were acquiring the
great American fortunes by the simple
means of exchanging titles for them
in the matrimonial market. Now, how
ever, the situation has become even
more ser Gus, for instead of marrying
American millions foreigners are tax
ing money out of this country through
commercial investments at a rate TWEEN
ty-fOld greater than that afforded by
means of International alliances, which
while they caused much more comment
We're really far less serious than the
present situation. Indeed, he extent to
which merican money is going abroad
at present is being discussed as a FAC
tor which may prove dangerous to
the continuance OF this countrys fay-
orable trade balance. So strong is the
eastward flow of American dollars
and so many the outgoing channels
OF this wealth that steps are now be-
ing considered by which it may be
checked. The greatest single amount
in the expense account which takes
out OF the country annually a greater
sum of money than that required for
the expenses of the federal goavcn-
ment comes in the shape of dividends
on American securities which are
held abroad. This item alone amounts
to over s450,000,0O0, much of which
goes to France, since that country has
in the last few years absorbed hun
Greds of millions in stocks and U0u3
issues. More than S350,000,0O0 is
spent each year in European shops,
according to the figures just compiled
while upwards of S250,00O,000 goes
each twelve months from American
pockets to those of foreign hotel
keepers, amusement owners and in
other similar ways. More than $10,-
100000, 1t is estimated, goes fo" Ups
alone. In vieworeohe fact that there
8 no apparent reason why the greater
part of this money should not be spent
n this country, it is apparent that
Uncle Sam will soon have to find a
means of stopping this financial drain
ls compared to which that laid at the
ioor of Cupid sinks into insignif-
,ance.

RICH, THIS WOMAN
POSED AS A PAUPER

San Franisco, Cal, May ga Gu
rious contest has arisen over the es-
tate of Susannah A. Moore, a charity
patient of several church institutions,
who died in wretched howell Decem-
Der 9, 1908 She left $4,000 in bank
deposits and loans.
A supposed daughter, Margaret
Dean, of Idaho, Las laid claim to the
estate. but attorneys say she is an
imposter. They say the only legal
heirs are two nieces, Miss Margaret
Kane and Miss Mary Hunter, of New
York.
Mrs. Moore fooled all the charity
agents here, as she posed as a pau
per, yet actually loaned $4,000 to one
of the churches that assisted her.

Townsville, Ca, May %. 1t is re-
ported here that there is an effort
being made to persuade Hon. w. A..
Covington, of Moultrie, to enter the
race for governor. The idea seems to
be that with so many grooming for
the Office from North Georgia this
would be a good time for South
Georgia candidate to come in.
There is nothing definite about 1t
yet, and it Is not known whether or
not Mr.. Covington would consider the
matter.
