Caustic Criticism Characterized Pro-

eminent and the cost of their ma

cised Colonel Maothe, of the ord
nance department, for sending out
an order on December 80, 1918, that
all Inter contracts were Cancelled, al
though the contracts called for them

,ident.

"2OO,OOO,OOO BABY" DIES
AFTER BEING HIT BY AUTO
Death of Vinson Walsh Mclean Recalls Fatality Supposed
Be Connected With Famous Hope Diamond Purchase

Walsh, brother of Mrs. Mclean, was
killed in an accident at Newport
Mrs. Mclean, who was then Miss
Evelyn Walsh, also was in the car
and received injuries which made her
an invalid for year.
Other things gave the boy the
millionaire baby" record. He had
nurseries in 5 of the finest houses in
America. One was in the Walsh es-
tate a few miles from Denver at the
very gateway of "the Garden of the
Gods" another in the Mclean home
here. Here was the brides garden"
made by the late Mrs. John R. Nc
Lean for the young mother of tn

sion on Massachusetts avenue, Wash
ington, and the other one in Briar
Cliffe, the Bar Harbor estate, which
Mr.. Walsh bought from Montgomery
Sears, the wealthy Boston merchant,
and gave to the young couple just
before his death.
The boy had a private car, elab-
orately furnished, which carried him
to Palm Beach, to California or
wherever he wished to go. He had
half dozen automobiles of his own.
He had doctors and nurses and pri-
vate detectives to watch over him.
Numerous reports were of plans to
kidnap him, but he was so closely
guarded no attempt was ever made.
Since that time two other children
have been born to Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Lean, both boys, one of whom is four
and the other a year old. They are
| left heirs to the estate.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Vinson
Walsh Mclean, famous as the two
overwhelmingly, died here
tonight from injuries suffered early
in the day when struck by an automo-
bile near the Mclean country estate,
Friendship, in the suburbs of the cap
ital.
The boy was nine years old. He
was the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Beale Mclean, the former a million
aire publisher and sportsman, son of
the late John R. Mclean. The boys
mother was Miss Evelyn Walsh,
daughter of Thomas F. Walsh, the
Colorado gold mine owner.
Vinson Mclean was guarded close
ly all his life. He left his personal
attendant for a few minutes this
morning and started to cross the
roadway from the mansion when
struck by an automobile occupied by
three women.
The car stopped and the boy was
picked up and taken to the Mclean
house. His injuries were not regard
ed as serious, and the occupants of
the automobile proceeded on their
journey. When physicians arrived
they found the boy had compound
fracture of the skull. He died at
o'clock tonight The police have the
number of the car, which bore a
West Virginia license, but it has not
been located.
Parents Chartered Special Train.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mclean were at
Louisville, where Mr.. Mclean has a
racing stable at Churchill Downs.
They chartered a special train and
hurried to Washington.
The tragic death of the boy recall
ed the story of the purchase of the
Hope diamond by Mr.. Mclean in
1911. According to John S. Wise, of
New York, an agreement was drawn
up between Mr.. Mclean and Pierre
Cartier, the Paris jeweler, by which
Mr.. Mclean paid $180,000 for the
diamond, with an agreement that
should fatality occur in the Mclean
family within six months the Hope
diamond would be turned back to
Cartier for other jewels of equal
value.
It was said that because of the
diamonds i'll omen Mr.. Mclean fear
ed that something might happen to
his son.
The Mclean boy became interna-
tionally famous as the "gold-cradle
baby" soon after his birth. At that
time King Leopold, of Belgium, who
had been a partner of Thomas F.
Walsh in the Camp Bird gold mine in
Colorado, sent the boy a gold cradle,
which, the story has it, was valued at
$25,O0O,O00.
Johh D. Rockefeller had at about
that time founded the Rockefeller
Foundation, and John D. Rockefeller,
jr., was heir to $60,000,00O, but the
Mclean baby was in line for the
$200,000,O fortunes of Thomas F.
Walsh and John R. Mclean, then
owner of the Washington Post, Gin
cinnati Enquirer and heavily inter
ested in gas and traction interests.
Accident Increased Fortune.
By coincidence it was an automo-
bile accident that left Young Mclean
at his birth the sole heir to these two
great fortunes. In 1905 Vinson

American mining men, it was

Villa himself had treated all Ameri-

with your fingers. After week or ten
days you will see pushing up and out

than eight inches In height. 1t will
take about six weeks from the time
you plant the seeds to the time when
she blossoms. know Of no little fow-
