LEGATEE REFUSED
MILLION DOLLARS
GARLAND ADVANCES SOMEWHAT
UNUSUAL REASON FOR RE.
NoUNclNG LEGACY.
CONDEMNS MONETARY system
"System Which Starves Its Thousands
While Hundreds Are Stuffed
Condemns Itself.'

Buzzards Bay, Mass.-Charles Gar
land, the young man who renounced
his right to million-deilar legacy left
him by his father, james A. Garland,
who was wealthy club man ard
yachtsman of Boston, made formal
statement of his reason for rejecting
his money. His statement he said,
was due to the fact that the many re-
ports of his failure to accept the leg
acy had failed properly to present his
position.
81 refuse to accept the money be-
cause it is not mine was young Gar
lands summary of this action. "a sys-
TEN which starves thousands while
hundreds are stuffed condemns itself.
A system which leaves a sick woman
helpless and offers its services to a
healthy man condemns itself. 1t is
such a system that offers me mil
lion dollars" he continued.
1T Is blind to the simplest truth
known to every child, the truth that
the hungry should be fed and the ma
ked clothed"

but to clasp the suitcase firmly to his
chest and get the best view of the bat
