SURELY MAN OF SUBSTANCE
Russian Brought With Him the Gold
to Satisfy British immigration
Authorities.

A Russian who travelled to London
from the Tyneside to get a nephew out
of the clutches of the immigration au-
thorities turned out to be a sort Of
gold mine.
The man is a cabinetmaker. To
prove that the boy had means of sub
sistence he had filled his pockets with
sovereigns. The uncle declared n trick
had been played on the lad Although
he (the uncle) had bought him a
ticket, the boy was induced to buy an
other ticket, some ticket seller abroad
having persuaded him that the one
which his uncle had sent him was not
available.
1T has cost me another $50 to bring
the boy to London" said the uncle.
He added that he wanted to bring
up the boy as his own. He drew from
a pocket two handouts OF sovereigns
TO show. that he was able to do this.
Said the chairman, smiling: You
are a wealthy man, but you had better
look after your money" The uncle
produced more gold from another
pocket I've had to work hard for
this he said, and was about to reveal
more wealth when the court told him
that a boy with such a generous pro-
tector would,sof course, be admitted.

Springfield. lll-The first complete
municipal survey ever conducted In
the United States threatened to prove
not satisfactory enough IN its concm-

because of Indifference or prejudice
among the members of its city com

allow the exhaustive researches made
IN It's social and industrial life to

cities and take only parts home to

voked some communication and some
criticism from those who were
touched on tender spots, and relapsed
into the forgotten. But it is apparent
that considerable opposition will arise
to executing the recommendations
For example, the commissioner of
pubic property is vigorously kicking
against the conclusions of the sur,
Veyors regarding the water and light
ana gas service. Springfield has
municipality owned water system and
corporation owned gas and electric
service. Now, municipal surveyors
and other reformers are not famous

to favor public ownership. Yet the
Russell Sage experts found that
charges for water service were too
high and that electric light and gas
charges were reasonable. The only
result so far from this publication has
been to arouse the commissioner.
The surveyors of the educational
system found some fault with the con.
struction Of buildings and with
courses of study. The architects who
raised the buildings protested mildly.

alent belief that there may be great
fall in the price during the next two
years. 1t is interesting to note that for
some time after its discovery radium
could be procured at less than one.

mand for radium to be used for med-
cal purposes has hitherto absorbed the

quoted which are excessive and alto.
