MCLEAN ADOPTS" NEGRO cHuM
FOR foO-MILLIoN BABY.

Five-Year-oid John Winbush viii
Play with vlnson Until He is is,
Then Become Wilson's Valet.
Palm Beach, Fla. Edward b. Nc
Lean and his wife, the former Evelyn
Walsh. daughter of the late Thomas
r. Walsh, who have q three-year-old
son, Vinson, commonly known as the
"$10Oo.0OO.o0 baby" because it is
said he win inherit that sum, have
taken a little Negro boy as their
fostering. He is John Winbush. Jr.,
five-year-old son of John Winbush, OF
p. street. near Massachusetts, ave
nue.. Washington.
P T. Spencer, Mr.. McLean's attor-
ney, brought the little Negro boy to
Palm Beach today, after having pre-
pared papers, which the child's par
ents signed for consideration, re-
linquishing their rights over the boy
forever. BY the contract, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mclean do not actually adopt
the child. He is not to bear their
name or to inherit from them except
as specified In the contract He Isl
however, to be treated as an equal
Of young Vinson Mclean and fur
nished with every luxury until h Is
fifteen years old, when he is to be-
come Wilson's valet.
Mr.. Mclean made this statement
concerning the transaction:
II do not want my boy to grow up
living the life common to children
Of wealthy people. I am getting this
boy for my sons playmate because
he is healthy, normal, simple-mind-
ed child. The companionship Of this
child will keep my son mindful of
the fact that he is one of the people.
I don't want a son OF mine q snoh.
The trend Of wealth is in that direc-
ton. T5G.
Moreover. my son has been in the
company Of men, his detectives and
nurses so much that he is becoming
precocious. 1t is the best thing for
him to have healthy little bay of
his own age to play with. 1 was
brought up in the same way, first
with Negro nanny, then with a
Negro boy who was my playmate and
later my valet"
Jack Winbush, Ir., began leading
his new life when he left Washing
ton, where he had been supplied with
fine wardrobe. He had drawing
room to himself on the Florida spe-
cial on the Seaboard. He eats at Ia
BILE with young Mclean in the fam
ily's private dining room. He is the
only Negro allowed ON the bathing
beach.
Dressed alike In white sailor suits
and both bare-legged, Vinson and
Jack played in the sand all morning
In front of the Casino. The children
made their appearance hand In hand
and seemed to be great chums as they
played with shovels and pals. To-
night Mr.. Mclean engaged one of
the Negro bellboys at the hotel as
personal servant for this child.
