When Albert H. Veeder, beef trust
lawyer, died in July, 1914. his estate
entered the probate court. The rec
ords of this court show that Veeder
held capital stocks worth $1,026,-
1856.
Veeder in the years 1912, 1913 and
1914 paid taxes on $4,000 worth of
personal belongings. This il. spite of
the fact that his wealth was known.
The value of his estate was pub
Eshed in every newspaper in the city
at S1,0OO,0O0 The records of the
stocks which he owned still stand in
the probate court files.
The board of assessors this year,
however, have set the value of his
personal property at $4,000 and he
has been taxed accordingly, in spite
of the fact that the size of his estate
is a public record.
An investigation from the Offices
of States Atty HOyne disclosed the
fact that his assessment was less
than one-twelfth the size Of his es-
tate. A complaint will be entered be-
fore the board of review.
Albert and Henry Veeder, Of 1900
Greenwood av., executors of his es-
tate, will be asked why they should
not pay the full amount as scheduled
in the probate court.

MANY MINES OPENED
BECAUSE Of WAR
Coal Fields Remote and
Long Abandoned are Now
Operated.

MANCHESTER. England. July 90
An interesting feature Of the wartime
demand for coal is that it has brought
about the reopening OF hundreds OF
derelict mines in the remote valleys
of the Penaine Range, long line OF
hills that stretches from the vicinity
of Manchester straight north to the
Scottish border. The entire region lies
above immense fields OF coal. but diff
fcult!es OF transportation and lack OF
capital have heretofore prevented any
extensive development.
AS the great coal districts of South.
ern Lancashire and Yorkshire become
depleted, more attention must be paid
to these upland deposits and the prob
lem OF reaching them with transporta
ton facilities must be met At pres.
ent there is no railway which reaches
within twenty miles of the most &C.
cessible fields.
Wartime prices. however. have turn

OF one manor were bound to attend

ment for man and beast was provided
by the lord of the manor. In other
manors the tenants were bound to
give certain days OF labor to mining
In recognition of such services the
tenants were universally permitted to

RADON THRIVING
INDUSTRIAL Town
Cheap and Abundant Labor
Has Attracted Many
Industries.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. July 26.-In
their drive through southern Russian
Poland, the Germans recently swept
over the city Of Radon. capital OF the
government OF Radon and the last i'm.
portant city in the south between their
legions and the metropolis. Warsaw.
A description OF this city was given
out today by the NGtiora! Geographic
Society at Washington:
Radon was one OF the numerous
thriving industrial towns Of Russian
Poland which have sprung into being
during the last score OF years with
the perculation OF Western capital and
Western manufacturing technique in
70 the Slav communities nearest 20
Western Europe. Cheap and abund.
ant labor has attracted many enter.
prises across the Russian borders,
and convenience TO the larger markets
and the vast stores OF raw materials
have held most OF these enterprises
in Russian Poland and in the Baltic
Provinces. Radon was one OF the
prosperous progressive Slav towns
brought forth by this Western inva-
sion OF industry.
Warsaw lies about 90 miles almost
due north OF Radon. while the only
railway running through the southern
county capital approaches by way OF
the fortress Ivangorod. making the
distance by railway more than 100
miles. Radon is situated on the
Mleczna, in a sweep Of country which
breaks into a low, fat reach toward
the north. 1t is one Of the best. most
solidly built towns OF Poland, and. IN
like Lodz. it has taken the trouble to
reflect the growing wealth Of its bust
