tstlon.
Mr.. Tntermyer advanced the question

ASTOR'S SECRET SAFE
is FINALLY OPENED

New York, June 13.-The late Col
onel John Jacob Aster possessed one
safe of which he alone knew the CON-
bination, and therein, absolutely Sc
cure from fire and burglars, reposed
such secrets of affairs of fortune as
he concealed from every confdante
This strong box, said to have been
of peculiar construction and involved
mechanism, spherical in shape and
hardened to the point of resistance
even to electrical contact, had reposed
for several years in the personal Office
of Colonel Astor.
At the death of the millionaire his
executors and his secretary set in Or
der such affairs as they could place
hands upon. But certain links were
found to be missing, and in each in
stance the line of connection led up
to and ceased abruptly at the rounded
doors of the fire and burglar-proof
safe.
Nobody but Colonel Astor had ever
known the combination of that re-
markable safe. 1t was said that only
one other had been made, and that was
for the late "Al" Adams. Surely
enough a safe similar to that possessed
by Colonel Astor was sold a few
months ago by the son Of Adams at an
auction. 1t brought $50. The son ex-
planned that he had not been able to
open it because the combination died
with his father. The man who made
the purchase spent more than
the purchase price to have the great
steel globe drilled into. 1t contained
only worthless paper.
Having this in mind, the Astor exc
cutors thought to save the safe from
destruction and sent for a safe ex-
pert.
But this safe was made to tease
just such experts. When Colonel As
tor closed the door he not only turn
ed the knob which obliterated the re-
leasing combination, but he also
twirled the entire door about just as
easily. And there was then left to the
Imagination the grandest nixup out
side of the Chinese alphabet.
Aided by the eager executors and
trustees and confidential men of the
Astor menage, the great expert toiied
and perspired and fretted over that
spherical Sphinx.
Finally, confessing that he had been
baffed, the great expert, withdrew,
and then came the steel drill men. The
electrical connections that had been
fitted to melt the huge globe failed to
show any effect upon the polished sur
face. There is a newer system, how
ever, involving acetylene gas. And by
use of this contact, interspersed with
clever manipulation of. cold steel,
chisels and files of noted temper, the
great ball of resistance finally was
pierced.
