London. March 1.-THE missing es-
tate swindle IL evidently again being
worked extensively in the United
States. The embassy here IL over
whelmed with letters from American
heirs asking how best to secure es-
tAtes due them. Some letters indicate
that victims were induced to part with
pseudo representatives OF the chancery
court.
Ten years ago the state department
At Washington received SO many re-
quests about missing estates in chan
Gerry that special investigation was
made by Henry White. then first Sec
rotary Of the American embassy here.
He reported that it would be practical
~ impossible for any American to Sc
cure an estate from the court Of
chancery. The report showed that the
large estates constantly spoken of as
dormant in chancery'' or awaiting
claimants in the Bank of England"
were purely imaginary. and usually the
invention Of swindlcrs, who obtain
money for the prosecution OF claims to
fictitious fortunes.

are few, averaging less than 81 800 each

of them inevitably would consume
their own value in the expenses Of re-
are demanded, and in the case Of Amer
leans such proofs are almost impossi-
BILE. Even the clearest claims are US
ually barred by the statute Of limita-
tons. About the time Of this report
the inquiries lecame so heavy that
they overloaded the correspondence Of
the embassy. and a printed form OF
reply was adopted and this is in use
today.
Last year when one Of these swind-
lers persuaded a number of alleged de-
scendants in America that the estate

was ready for distribution, by the court
of chancery, the swin6le was widely
exposed by the American newspapers,
with the result that the inquiries prac-
tically ceased until within the past few
weeks.

han opinion In favor of the bill that
it is stated in official circles that had
the petition been circulated publicly
it would undoubtedly have been signed
by 95 per cent of the population.
This intense feeling Is due, apart
from humanitarian reasons. to the
conviction that systematic slaughter
Of birds for the plumage market is
having most detrimental effect upon
agriculture. Public opinion is also in
censed by the fact that prohibited
skins and feathers are smuggted out
of the country in spite of the vigilance
OF the authorities. and 1t Is recog-
nized that only the closure of the
home markets can effectually put an
end to the traffic.
The interesting discovery has been
made, according to a consular report
from Algeria OF the adaptability OF the
oyster to change in it's surroundings.
The inspector of fisheries in the Ar
Jew district states that he found that

mouth of the river La Macta by q

ence in fresh water. Oysters were
found thriving in parts of the river
