st. Louis. Mo-Frederlck VanBlar-

to regain his freedom and control over
the income of his inheritance of several
million dollars, has told the story Of his
activities for the last nine years, when
he was either in private or-public sani-

story includes wanderings over half
the world, when, as hobo, dish
washer in restaurant, fireman, en-

prevent his return TO asylums.
VanBlarcom was born June 20, 1885,
with the proverbial silver spoon in his
mouth. He was the only son and heir
of Jacob c. NanBlarcom, president Of
