VALUE MILLION AND A HALF
PERMANENT EXHIBITION OF
AMERICAN MADE MACHIN-
ERY TO BE INSTALLED
EDUCATE RUSSIAN FARMERS
WILL TEACH THEM MODERN
AGRICULTURAL METHODS AND
USE UP-To4DATE MACHINERY

New York, JAM, 14.-The greater
part of the estate of Count Leo
Tolstoi probably will be turned into
great experimental farm, cutivat-
ed under American methods and by
American machinery.
Michael Kousmanski, a nephew of
the late Count, who came to America
ten days ago to sell the estate to
Andrew Carnegie, announces that a
group of United States bankers and
manufacturers have offered 10 take
the property under certain condi-
tions The estate is valued at
million and a half dollars The
whose names are not di-
vulged, agree to purchase the estate
on condition that $50 acres, which
Tolstoi's heirs desire to devote to
settlement and school of
agriculture, should be paid for by an
subscription fund, to
which the admirers of the late Count |
night send donations. On the re-
naming 900 acres, they propose to
erect a permanent exhibition of
American agricultural machinery and
cultivate the surrounding lands by
modern methods, to demonstrate to
the Russian farmers how they can
produce twice the amount of crops
on their fertile lands and save great
labor expense.

sion hotel where Leroy had his room
The sign Professor Leroy, clairvoy
ant" still hung from the door but the
professor had gone. That occurred
yesterday. The professor left tow
Thursday night. Although the off
GERS have made a systematic search
they have found no trace of the van
ished professor.
While here Leroy was visited by a
considerable clientage. 1t is reported
that he hoodwinked several other
people but they are reticent about
letting it be known that they were
robbed.
Leroy's real name, the one his faith.
er and mother bestowed upon him,
is Everett. He is telegraph oper-
ator and came here from New York
state. He evidently found communi-
cation with spirits over waves of ether
more remunerative than communica-
tion with mortals by means of wire
and the Morse code.
Everett had confederate who act
ed as a press agent for him. This
man, who went under the name of
Bell, sat about hotel lobbies and
stores and engaged people in conver-
sation telling them of the wonderful
ability of a certain clairvoyant whom
he chanced to meet while stopping at
the same hotel. If Everett is found
and brought back here the officials
say he will be prosecuted to the limit.

GOT AWAY WITH $ll7 Cash
SEER PROMISED TO DISCLOSE TO
HIS VICTIM LOCATION OF
GOLD MINE
PLACED MONEY in A SACK
HOWEVER, DURING SUBSEQUENT
PROCEEDINGS, CROOK sWITcH4
ED BAGS ON HIM

Professor Leroy" clairvoyan
who has been operating in Las Vega!
for several weeks, has disappeared
So has a sum of money amounting tt
about $117, the hard earned cash o.
G. ]. Fredericks. 1t is believed by
Mr.. Fredericks and the officers that
the two disappearance have some
thing more material than a spiritual
relation with each other. For this
reason Sheriff Secundino Romero is
deluging the territory with kilograms
in an effort to locate the professor.
When he is found it is believed Mr.
Fredericks' money or the unspent re-
sidue of it will be discovered tucked
away in one of his ample pockets.
The scheme worked by the clair
voyant to secure Mr.. Fredericks' roll
is one of the smoothest that has ever
come to the attention of the peace Of
ficers of the territory. Mr.. Fredericks
consulted the man in his room in La
Pension hotel. After going into a |
trance and tying himself in a few
bowknots the seer told Mr.. Freder-
icks that his control. comfortable and
happy on the Other Shore, was about
to disclose to him the location of a
fabulously rich gold mine. He asserted
further that he would disclose this
wonderful discovery to his client If
certain provisions WIRE complied
with.
Mr. Fredericks readily agreed.
These were the stipulations: Mr..
Fredericks was to give to the clair
yoyant sum of money over $100. The
seer was to "charge" the money and
sew it up in sack which Mr.. Fred
ericks was to wear about his neck
The spirit with the kindly intentions
and the ability Of prospector, was
to lead him to the mining claim in
reward for his faithful performance oi
these simple instructions.
Believing that it's worth while tc
wear money about ones neck for
few days if one can thereby wear fine
clothes and carry lots of money II
ones pocket the rest of his life by Sc
doing Mr.. Fredericks fastened to give
the professor the money.
In a short time he was presented by
~ =
Leroy with small sack to which
string was attached. The money wa'
supposed to be enclosed in the sack
And this actually was the case al
Mr.. Fredericks at another Visit saw
if removed from it's enclosure. INT
spirit, however, was not worKln'
right and the seer said it must b.
charged" again. This time Mr.. Fred
ericks received a sack and str1nl
which looked exactly like the first
He wore it for several days. Then b
got a hunch. An awful feeling OF sus
picion that the had been duped crep
into his heart He opened the sac
and found-a neat little bundl
of waxed paper the value of whic
was not over five cents.
Mr.. Fredericks hastened to La PEI

ferlich bought number OF animals
Monday, but could not get enough OF
the kind he wanted and would not take
anything that wasn't strictly up to
standard.
Receipts for the first two days Of the

considerable falling off from Monday
and Tuesday of last week, when 1861
were actually received. For the same
date Of 1910 the number was 965. Con-
trary to early estimates. the actual re-

Corn Sass in Absence OF Demand
Wheat Weakness Being Depressing
E.eto-L;beral Commission Selling
Eases Oats Market-Provisions Down
On Lower Hog Prices.

Chicago June Rainy weather and
bearish cables gave wheat a downward
slant today. The only support for the
market was apparently coming from
cautious shorts, who were taking pro-
fits. Sellers had their attention espec-
tally fixed on Kansas. The rainfall IN
that state was reported as a good hard
downpour. Large worlds shipments
formed one Of the principal factors IN
making the foreign news adverse to
the bulls. The fact that cash wheat
here was not proving an easily mar
ketable commodity in the hands of the
chief owners exerted also a depress-
ing effect. Opening prices were
shade to II to g lower. July started
at 91A to 91k loss Of Is to a to g
and u and fell to 81.
Difficulty in covering OF short sales
led afterward to a decided rally Bull
ish crop advices from Kansas and Ne
braska helped. The close was strong
with July at 92A. net gain of 1a to IS
Corn.
Corn sagged IN the absence Of a de-
r.ana. Wheat weakness furnished the
main reason. July opened Is to 4 off
at 53% to 53A and seemed inclined to
keep within that limit.
The market advanced later when
wheat turned strong. Closing prices
were firm, with July Is net higher at
54A.
Oats.
Liberal commission selling seems to
ease the oats market. July started Il
to u down at 3s% to 36h. touched
26A, and dropped to 36A.
