several new processes of soap manu-.

Rose" transparent soap for bath and
toilet purposes is product of this
brain. "Kirk's Flake" white laun-
dry soap compounded entirely from
vegetable oils, without the aid of any
animal fats whatever, is another
brand due to the skill and inventive
genius of the present executive when

chemist.

natural that the characterization Of

ment Of social well-being. The artist
seeks for himself tho freest express
sion of his personality and fees from
those countries where this impulse is
continually being suppressed by an
~inflexible social system. The Russian
a~utocracy has caused our best minds
and spirits to seek their inspiration
and to make their homes in other
countries. Russia as a democracy
is not the Slav genius capable of the
highest achievement? And has 1t not
shown by its accomplishment in the
past when it was downtrodden and re-
pressed, how unQuenchAble is its es-

with the greatest hope to seeing this

her estate. ! got Into consultation
with Jacob Newman, who. was
Informed. was an attorney OF the
highest standing In Chicago. We
called In George woodruf. President
OF tho Woodruff Trust Company Of
Joliet, III.
After a conference an Arrangement
was made. which was satisfactory 10
Mrs King and all the members OF her
family whereby her estate was neld
In trust This arrangement also pro-
vided for the posthumous disposition
VI her entire estate.
"Gaston Means came TO me 10 close
the matter up. l told him that he
should have written authorization "a
act. He soon came back with this
authorization and that ended my con-
nection with Mrs. King and her af-
fairs.
Il asked d.. Burke for his opinion
On her mental condition. That was
the first step toward appointing a
conservator for her estate. 1t was
my judgment that that was the
proper course to take-the appoint
ment OF a oonservatur.
"But after we saw Mrs. King In
Chicago and she was perfectly willing
TO enter voluntarily into an arrange
ment which insured the estates con.
servation there was no reason for
proceeding further in that direction.
Certain phases OF Mrs. Kings af-
fairs were laid before Government
officials here. Representatives OF
Mrs. King stated the case as they
knew It verbally to Assistant District
Attorney Stanton and possibly Off.
cials of the Department of Justice
They were OF the opinion that II was
| not a matter which the Government
! could take up In any way"
Before Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Mel
win retained Mr.. Holden as their at
torney they had appealed to the Dis
trict Attorney OF New York County
to prosecute certain men who they
asserted had obtained domination
over Mrs. King and were mulctinI
| her out OF her fortune. The Dlstr.c .ct
Attorney at that time was Charles 3
Whitman, now Governor.
Mr.. whitman. according TO this In
| formation, after hearing In detail
their story, told them II was not q
matter in which he could act, takins
| the same stand as the Federal au-
thorities later did. 1t ls said that Inc
suggested they employ an attorney OF
high standing
