AMERICANS CLAIM
ENGLISH ESTATES
CreduIous Heirs 0verW helm U. S.
Embassy With Requests

London, MAY 3.--The American EN-
bassy ahas been SO overwhelmed late
ly by requests from America by heirs
who believe that they have enormous
estates in Chancery in England. that
IL has become necessary TO adopt a
printed form for the replies to these
communications.
The only thing the embassy is per-
mitted to do in the matter Is to sug-
gest a competent legal adviser to in
vestigatc the case. II cannot itself
conduct Investigations. II does. how
ever toll inquirers that there are no
large unclaimed estates in Great Brit
ain. Tho vast sums constantly spok
en- of as dormant in chancery or
awaiting claimants in the Bank of
England are purely imaginary. and.
according to the embassy, are too often
the invention of swindlers who OBJ
tain money for the prosecution of fic-
titious fortunes.
The funds in chancery open 10
claim are few. and average less than
1880 each, two only approaching S75,-
600 Most of them would consume
their own value In the cost of recov-
cry. The fullest proof of genealogy is
demanded, and the lack of data In the
United states for this purpose make
the process very expensive. Further
more. as the passage of twenty years
and sometimes less bars recovery un-
der the English statutes of lmita-
tions. the chance of picking UP an
estate i'm chancery is exceedingly
small.
