STRANGE TALE UNFOLDED.
In Action to Recover New York Mans
Estate.

New York, Feb. 4.--There was told in
the surrogate's court to-day the strange
story of the life of James II. Clarey,
the tale being offered to support an APP
plicat tion by his son, George, for letters
OF administration on the bakers estate.
The son arrived here yesterday from
Burlington, VT
The elder Clarey disappeared from
Burlington 20 years ago, it is said, leav-
ing his wife and four children destitute.
He kept his own name, prospered under
it as a baker, never told any one about
his former life, passed as bachelor and
died of pneumonia 10 days ago in st.
Vincent's hospital.
His wife, supposing long ago he was
dead. became household servant in
Burlington and reared her four chill
dren on her small pay. She now has a
prospect of inheriting Clarey's estate,
estimated at $4,000 above his debts.
The discovery of the family is due
to Thomas De Graffenried of l40 Nassau
street, who was Clarey's lawyer for 10
years, but knew nothing of his past.
After Clarey died Mrs. Catherine Cur
ran of 2ll East 57th street and her sis
ter, Miss Nellie Duggan of Freehold,
n. j., who had visited him daily in the
hospital, told Mr. De Graffenried they
had a paper bequeathing the entire es-
tate to them. He found the paper was
in the handwriting of woman and was
unsigned.
When advised the paper was worth
less the two women caused the opening
of Clarey's safe deposit box in the Green
wich bank, confident that it contained a
signed will. The box had savings bank
accounts, a mortgage and an insurance
policy in which Mrs. Curran was named
as beneficiary, but no will.
Mr.. De Graffenreid searched for Clar-
eys relatives and found the family in
Burlington and brother, John Z. Clar-
ey, newspaper man in Madison, N. j.
The brother came to the city yester-
day, identified pictures of the dead man
and offered to testify concerning the
Vermont family

HON. GEORGE FRED WINS
 RENOWN IN DIPLOMACY

The New Freedom has gathered di- plomacy into its net and the Hon. George Fred Williams recently trans lated to Athens, adds new crown to his variegated glories. Not his the cowardly reticences commended in the famous dictum of Talleyrand His gift of words was not shower ed on him by an inscrutable Provi- dence for the purpose of concealing anything, not even the abysses which separate him from the craft into which his psychology and grape juice have now intruded his amazing dam- phoolishness..
 MT. Williams has seen Albania He has seen it from the lofty view point of the Dedham, Mass, stand ards, which he always carries about with him. His soul, which is always trifle too large for his frame, has been swollen with indignation by the spectacle and has burst it's cerements, oS AAuCOu IL 4dS AOI lulIcQueutly done in the past on smaller provoca- tion. It has overflowed in pictures que speech and Europe quivered un- der the scathing exposure of her misdemeanors
 Prior to Mir. Williams revelation nobody had any idea of conditions in Albania. The world was blind to the wickedness and inefficiency of the powers. Now that the whole sit uation is neatly analysed and classi- fled under five heads it only remains to reform it altogether. Plainly there is only one master of light and leading to undertake the task. The inept Mpret, the vexatiousu Malin- ores, the Dutch gendarmerie, the in efficient powers and the faineant min istry will join in a petition to Sec retary Bryan to release the clear eyed and -silver-tongued. Williams from the trammels of diplomacy so that they may make him their guide and oracle. ~.r'''

fort to outdo the federal government in the matter of spending money. Very few people see the relation be- tween taxation and the high cost of living, and yet it is the most fruit full of all causes.
 If we estimate that all forms of government in the United States cost $2,500, 100000 annually. it means that it requires the entire proceeds of the annual corn and cotton crops of the country to settle the bill. It means hardships for the citizen because the government is giving him so many mouths to feed in addition to his own family. It is taxation that does most to mack rents high. It is taxation that swells the cost of everything from toddies to teddy bears. Labor pays all these bills, and no matter from which citizen the government takes the coin, at the last the burden is laid upon labor.
 Our statesmen preach retrench- ment in Washington with great ferv- or, but they never practice it: they never will practice it. They coddle labor in one way and another and they denounce the opposition party, but when they find the treasury is full, the remedy is to increase ap- propriations. It's human nature to do it that way, but it is hard on the people and the day will come when the people are going to demand an accounting and the adoption of businesslike methods in the admin istration of public affairs. There is crying need for the establishment of efficiency bureaus in all branches of government.-Ex.

RISING COST OF GOVERNMENT.

The expenses of the federal gov ernment for the year ending June 30 were about $7oO,0OO,oOO, nearly $2,O00,O00 day. This was far from being a record breaker in the matter of federal expenditures but it serves to emphasize the rapidity of the rise in the cost of government. The cost of government, federal, state and municipal, is mounting higher and higher every year and it is one of the imperative duties of the states men of the day to find some method of Tightening the load.
 It is difficult to reduce expenditures when federal receipts mount higher and higher every year. Congress may always be relied upon to dis pose of any treasury surplus. Some smart statesman is always ready with a plan to get rid of surplus, when the revenues are heavier than the actual needed expenses of the gov ernment. Taxation rarely goes down. ward. A tax once levied is apt to last forever. The. internal revenue tax was levied during the civil war. Fifty years afterward we find it do- ing business for us and producing the bulk of our revenues. It has late ly been augmented by the tax on incomes, and that will remain, no doubt, so long as the republic lives. During al lthese years, congress has managed to find new ways to spend the money at every sign of surplus.
 There are now pending a half a hundred propositions which, if adopt ed, would vastly increase the gov ernment's functions and expenses. Our congressman are taking up such measures as federal roads, govern ment ownership of railroads, tele- graph and telephone educat ation, mine ownership. pipe lines and numerous schemes which would absorb large sums of the public money.
 If only the federal government were doing that sort of thing it would not be so bad. States, counties and municipalities are maing> terrific ef-
