were dragging for the drowned man.
Frederick Allen, captain of the
barge, reported the drowning to Lieu

drowning. He said that Maynard, who
had only been on the barge for about

WASHINGTON, d. c., May as
There's a new 500, 900, 900 boy out
at Friendship the palatial summer
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward b.
Mclean or Wisconsin avenue.
He is four years old, and his name
is John r. Mclean. He is the oldest
son of the McLeans now that little
Vinson Walsh Mclean. famous for
nine years as 'the richest baby in
the world is dead. in proof that no
sum of money. however great, can
stay the hand of Death.
All Washington is now asking:
"How will the McLeans save the
life of their new heir, now hat the
irony of fate has taken from them
their iirst-born?"
Every precaution that enormous
wealth and great ingenuity could
devise was taken to prevent acct
dents to Vinson Mclean. Since the
first day of his birth half a dozen
big, strong men were employed as
his guards, in addition to a corps of
nurses and tutors and a negro boy
about his own 6 who was hired as
his playmate.
The $500, O0O, 900 baby" as he
was called because he inherited, in
his own right, the tremendous estate
of his grandfather, Thomas +. Walsh
the Colorado mining king. was never
alone for a moment, night or day.
He was never allowed to play in
public like other boys: great piles of
rock and a picket fence enclosed the
i100-acre estate where he lived most
of the year. His parents feared ac-
cidents, but they feared kidnappers
more.
BY the irony of fate, however,
Vinson eluded his guards, ran into
the street. and was struck and killed
by an automobile common Ford
car.
And the 500, 900, 900 which he in
herited when he was born-now
