STORIES OF FORTUNES
UNCLAIMED IN ENGLAND
American Embassy Kept Busy An
swering Queries About Myth
ical Estates.

LONDON. April 20. 1918.
The American embassy has been so
overwhelmed lately by requests from
America by heirs who believe that they
have enormous estates in chancery in
England that 1t has become necessary to
adopt a printed form for the replies to
these communications.
The only thing the embassy is permitted
to do in the matter is to suggest q COM
petent legal adviser to investigate the
case 1t cannot itself conduct the inves-
LEGATIONS. IT does, however tell inquir-
ers that there are no large unclaimed
estates in Great Britain. The vast sums
constantly spoken Of as dormant in chan
cry or awaiting claimants in the Bank
Of England are purely imaginary and, ac-
cording to the embassy, are too often
the invention Of swindlers who obtain
money for the prosecution Of fictitious
claims to these fictitious fortunes.
The funds in chancery open to claim
are few, and average less than $500
each. two only approaching $4,000. Most
OF them would consume their own value
in the cost of recovery. The fullest proof
OF genealogy is demanded. and the lack
Of data in the United States for this
purpose make the process very expensive.
Furthermore. as the passage of twenty
years and sometimes less bars recovery
under the English statues Of limitations.
the chance OF picking up an estate in
chancery Is exceedingly small.

Berlin law AROUSES
AMERICAN TRAVELLER
Escapes Attachment for Fail
ing to Buy Diamonds After
Negotiation by Flight.
LONDON, April 20. 191

LONDON, April 20. 1918
Gustav A. Fudickar of Los Angeles
Cal. has arrived in London after escap-
ing from the clutches of the law officers
of the German emperor. AS the result
of his experience in Berlin Mr.. Fudickar
will make protest to the State Depart
ment at Washington against a German
law which has caused number Of Amer
lean tourists to get into difficulties with
the authorities.
The California traveller was negotiating
for the purchase of some diamond ear
rings for his wife in Berlin. He was
told that he could have the stones he
wanted for 1000 marks go. 75O. and an
expert assured him that he was getting
a bargain. He told the owner of the
stones that if he decided to take them he
would have to await the receipt Of fur
Their funds from home. In the mean
time he looked at the diamonds again,
and became convinced that a poorer
quality had been substituted.
The next morning the jewelers. assist
ant called at Mr.. Fudickars hotel and
asked for q deposit on the gems. The
American told him he had decided not
to take them.
Two Attempts at Attachment.
The assistant then reappeared with an
attachment against Mr.. Fudickar's bag
gage. This, however. was not levied,
and the American by quick work sue
ceeded also in frustrating an attempt to
attach his cash deposit in a local bank
At the American consulate Mr. Fudic-
kar was informed that his only remedy
was a suit in the civil courts, which
might drag for three years.
The Californian decided to brush the
dust of Berlin from his feet, but before
leaving he learned that many other
Americans have suffered similar treat
ment in Berlin, some of them losing
heavily.
The law permits merchant to force
payment on his swearing that a customer
has promised to take certain goods. and
the victim has no redress except a suit
to recover later for he is not given an
opportunity to answer the accusation.
