STRANGE CAREER
OF IMPERSONATION

San Juan, P. r., Aug. 2-Extrad1-
ton proceedings brought by the Cub
an consul against Rafael Martorell, a
Cuban business man here, reveal
what IS alleged to be remarkable
case of intrigue and impersonaton TO
obtain a s25o,000 estate.
l. The estate belonged to Porto
Rican, Manuel Fernando Fernandez
Vega and the story of the alleged plot
goes back to the days of the Cuban
revolution, when Vega and Martorell
were said to have been comrades-1n-
arms in Cuba. Vega was killed in
battle, but it is alleged, word of his
death never reached his father in
Porto Rico and valuable property
later was bequeathed to him.
The present proceedings are based
upon an allegation that Martorell
persuaded Juana Maria Valdes Suarez
and Manuel Antonio Fernando Fern
andez Vega falsely to represent them
selves as the widow and son of the
deceased Vega 1t is further alleged
that. in 1917 in connection with these
representations, Martorell committed
fraud in the municipal court at Regla
and also before a notary at Havana,
Cuba and by such means succeeded
in having all the rights to the estate
of Vega conveyed to him.
The extradition suit occupied the
Federal Court here for the greater
part of a week and resulted in Judge
Hamilton ordering the translation in
to English of all the papers in con-
nection with the case. Martorell,
| meanwhile, was released on $1,000

though his wife was suspected, there
was much mystery surrounding his
sudden death.
When she reached police headquar-
tiers she told the whole story with lit
tie urging, according to the detect
ives. She said she was born in Rus
STA, and had met and married Sokol-
owsky here in 1914. For three years
she was happy. They had one daugh-
ter, A1dona. now years old. Then
her husband began to stay away a
day, som etimes a week at a time. She
heard vague rumors that he was con-
sorting with other women. They
quarreI1ed, but conditions continued
unchanged.
His more or less itinerant life as a
labor organizer brought them to New
Haven early last June. A day or so
after their arrival she found two let
tiers in his pocket. She knew they
were from woman. although she
could not read English. She took
them to a friend. They were love let
ters,' written by a woman in Brook

MADE Is MILLION
IN RAW MATERIAL.

London, Aug. 2-Lord Inverforth
formerly Surveyor General of Sup
plies in the British War Office, by
worldwide purchases of raw ma
terials on behalf of the government
was able to turn into the British
treasury on March 81 last $25, 100000
representing: profits on all transactions
since 1914, according to his report
recently made to the Ministry of
Munitions.
While the profits were large, Sir
Arthur Goldfinch, Director General of
raw materials points out that the
economic benefits were far greater.
The raw materials obtained were
largely used in the manufacture of
military equipment was a direct saw
ing estimated at more than $500, O00,-
900. The purchases were of wool,
hides, leather, fax, hemp and similar
materials.
Insurance, generously taken out,
served to more than make up losses
from submarine warfare, it was stat
ed. The record of Lord Inverforth' S
activities is in contrast with results
obtained by similar departments in
other Allied countries. Among the
purchases were nearly $4,000, O0O
pounds of American sole leather and
100000 feet of American upper
leather.
Included in the chief items of tex
! tile and leather equipment for the
! army and navy, air force and other
| branches of the public service and for
| the Allies from August q, 1914 to
March 81, 1919 were: 61,S99,626 pairs
! of boots; s1,53s.00O yards of cotton
drill; 60,917,OO yards of khaki; 49,
| $4,000 ground sheets; 1,1s6,00e,0O
sand bags; 40, 5OS,669 blankets, 2S,-
| 776345 Jackets: 1643147S7 pairs OF
socks and 2O,190,810 pairs of wooden
! gloves.
i Contracts made with British man
ufacturers for the goods afforded
| them a larger profit than they made
| for similar work in pre-war days, il
was said, and served to speed up pro-
| duction.
