MYSTERY HOUSE" IS
OPENED AFTER 20 YRS.
vow OF AGED OWNER OF NEW
YORK MANSION is DISRE-
GARDED BY COURT.

The Haslett "house of mystery" IN
New York city, closed and locked uE
more than 20 years ago by Samuel E.
Haslett in an effort to shut up within
it's walls the tragedy that robbed HIM
of his wife, has been opened and sold
bv order of the courts of New York
Haslett had no part in the opening
Indeed, it was against the expressed
will and VOW of the aged recluse,
who declared when he locked up the
house that it would never be opened
or pass out of his possession as long
as he lived.
Courts of justice, however, have
no regard for mere sentiment when
sentiment stands in the way of tinan-
cially benehting the estate of an
aged recluse such as Haslett. The
courts ordered the sale of the build
ing to the Packer institute, when
owns adjoining property and when
REQUIRED an executive building fol
the use of the institution.
Interior of White and Gilt.
The bright sunlight when permitted
to flood in through the open windows
and light up the rooms revealed a
most beautiful interior. The halls
were decorated in white and gilt and
the walls were covered with paintings
of the old Italian school. Heavy gid
ed mirrors hung on several walls
The wall and ceiling decorations
were large medallions of somber col
ors and all the furniture was OF rich
and ancient design.
In the place of this material now
are being placed polished desks anc
filing cabinets and the click of type
writers enlivens the rooms whose
walls have been haunted with memo
ries and mystery during the past two
decides.

SCANDAL BREAKS
ABOUT CAMP BENNING
CUSSETA CITIZENS TELL CON-
CRESS EXHORBITANT PRICES
WERE PAID FOR LAND.

WASHINGTON, D. CATER the
house had expressed disapproval of
the Camp Benning, Georgia, prof.
ect the war department., in its haste
to purchase the land before the SEN
ate could act, paid exhorbitant prices
for plantations forming part of the
camp. a special house, war investigat-
ing committee was told today by DR..
Charles Nelson Howard, jr., of Gus
seta, Ga.
C. A. Rheuark, chairman of the
Chattahoochee county commission
ers, also testified some exorbitant
prices were paid for land.
DR.. Howard cited as an illustra-
ton the purchase of one plantation
for $437, 1000. He estimated that
100000 was a 'liberal valuation"
not considering the damage to a
dairy farm on the plantation.
Gould this deal not have been
completed by condemnation" asked
Chairman Mckenzie.
"They could have proceeded I'M
der condemnation, but they could
not have acquired title before the
senate acted" answered DR.. How
ard.
Definite Action Urged.
DR.. Howard and Mr. Rheuark said
they came to Washington to urge
congress to take some definite ac-
ton regarding the camp, either or
der it's discontinuance and resale of
the land, or definite approval for the
development of the camp. A MAORI
ty sentiment of Chattahoochee coun-
ty, they said, favored the abandon,
ment of the camp, but he admitted
this opinion did not prevail in Musco--
gee county, or its seat, the city OF
Columbus.
Mr.. Rheuark said Chattahoochee
county would be wiped out if the
camp were built, as the county would
be unable to bear the county ex-
penses, and would have to join with
another county.

Struggling in Water.
Loss Would Have Been Terrible

Baltimore May 24.-The Old Bay
liner Virginia, bound to Norfolk from
Baltimore, with 156 passengers and
full cargo of miscellaneous freight
was burned to the waters edge near
the mouth of the Potomac river last
night.
Lieut.. Commander George V. DAVIS,
U. S. N, who was a passenger on
board the steamer Florida one of the
rescuing ships. stated here today he
believed ten or fifteen persons per-
ished.
Officials of the company, however.
expressed their belief that the loss of
life would be small. but they could
give no definite figures until the pas
senger list is compared with the
names of the survivors. This would
be work of some little time, as pas
sengers and crew were picked up by
at least four other ships and taken to
Norfolk and Baltimore.
Lives of nearly 24O persons were
imperilled in the fire

the life boats to be manned.
Several are reported missing and
number slightly injured.
1t was 1880 o'clock when flames
from the stricken vessel shot into the
air, a lurid S. .. S. to other ships ply
ing thru the bay. Three boats saw the
plight of the Virginia and steamed to
the rescue. 1t probably was due only
to the proximity of these vessels that
a heavy loss of life did not result.
They did not arrive, however. until the
flames had burned the Virginia al

Searchlights Find Victims.
Searchlights were played over the
waters surrounding the burning YES
sci and revealed, according to eye
witnesses, the struggles of many men,
women and children who had jumped
into the water. Some were without
life belts. One lifeboat with oars in
place, but unoccupied, came under the
glare of the lights.
| Victor Olmstead, Washington, pas
senger aboard one of the ships which
steamed to the aid of the Virginia,

"By the time our boat arrived near

WAR RISK INSURANCE
H. o. Garvey Finds That q. S. Has
Allowed 5000, O,OOO,O to Date.

H. o. Garvey of Topeka has assem-
bled some interesting figures in con-
nection with the governments war
risk insurance policies.
He finds that up until May 1 claims
to the amount of $780, 100000 were
allowed by the United States govern
ment for death and total disability.
That is. this amount has been allowed
but, of course, is being paid in month
ly installments. The total premiums
paid to date are about one-fourth this
sum. meaning that the insured have
paid 81 to the taxpayers SO. And, as
Garvey says. there is no complaint
whatever from this arrangement. The
taxpayers who did not risk their lives
or make the supreme sacrifice are
glad to pay the SO.
He find further that of this $780,
000,0e0 only 3S per cent was from bat
tie losses, meaning death in battle or
disability due to actual fighting
Twenty-Five per cent from casualties
among soldiers who started across the
seas but never reached the battle line
The remaining AZ per cent was due to
death by disease in this country or
abroad.
1t is shocking to note that out of
the AZ per cent payments due to dis
ease, one-half was caused by influ-
eQZa.
