CINDERELLA, 90,
BEQUEATHES
MILLION
Poor American Girl Who Was
English Domestic Lived
to Be Rich.

LINCOLN, England, Feb. 10
The romance of a modern Cinder-
ella has been brought to light by
the death here of Miss Eliza
Walker, formerly of New York and
Pittsfield, Mass.
Miss Walker was born in Had
dington in 1843, her parents being
in rather poor circumstances. She
grew up. to be an attractive girl
and, after leaving school, obtained
a situation in a Lincoln hotel.
Later she went to London and en-
tered the service of a wealthy
family. At the death of her master
and her, mistress she fell heir to
their entire fortunes. At that time
she was but a little over twenty,
and being seized with a desire to
see the world, she went to the
United States and travelled extern
sively and eventually settled down
in a mansion on Fifth avenue. She
quickly adapted herself to her new
situation in life and became popular
in social circles in New York and
the Berkshire Hills resorts.
Notwithstanding her wealth Miss
Walker did not forget her poor rela-
tives in Lincoln and visited them
frequently. She returned to Lin
coin in 1914, wheres she remained.
until the time of her death, at the
age of eighty.
Miss Walkers fortune, nearly
$1,000, 900. has been left to English
nieces and nephews.

BOSTON, Feb. ga sleep that
began in the hold of vessel locked
In New York and ended 200 miles at
sea, life as a stowaway on an un-
looked for cruise, to Danzig, Riga
and other Baltic ports, were chapters
in the life of Carlo Gresso, a long
shoreman of New York, that culmi-
mated in his eluding emigration Of
ficers when the steamship Eastern
Coast reached this port.
Search for the stowaway was be-
gun by agents who were ordered by
Immigration authorities to produce
the missing man for EXAMINATION as
to his eligibility. to re-enter the
country.
Gresso, tired after a hard days
work last November, retired to the
bold OF the vessel to have a nap.
When he awoke the ship was far
beyond Sandy Hook. The longshore-
mans chief worry while aboard the
Eastern Coast, he told the ships
officers, was that his wife, believing
him dead might wed again.

BIG RUM FLEET

NEW york, Feb. 23.-"There is
nothing in the rum running line
that could surprise me any more
after all have seen of it," de-
clared John C. Applehy, assistant
Federal prohibition director for the
New York district today, in COM
menting on a report that huge
rum fleet, bearing part Of $1,000
600 consignment from England,
would anchor off Sandy Hook this

Appleby had heard the story"
He did not know whether they

he wouldn't be surprised" If it

filtering through the financial and
shipping districts here, the syndicate
Is operated by man who is said

1t is supposed to exert consid-

BIRTH RATE CUT
BY HIGH RENT AND TAXES

LONDON. Feb. %. - Excessive
taxation. the growing practice OF
birth control and the boycott Of
children by landlords and servants
are, according to the registrar gem

ding reasons for the extraordinary
decline in the birth rate in Britain
last year.
Fewer babies were born in 1922
than during any other year on
record, he says in his report.
The death rate was 1914 per
thousand, while infant mortality
was also down to it's lowest point.

Disturbing Mummy.

LUXOR, Feb. 23.-Practically all
the treasures found in the $1,000
year-tonb of Tut-Anhk-Amen, in
the Valley of the Kings, will remain

Belief was expressed that when
Lord Carnarvon's exploration party

tan government will have been
amended to provide that the ancient
treasures remain in this county.
Egyptian officials are insisting
that the mummy remain in the
tomb where it was found, and 1t is
likely that this will be the case.
The Washington times., 1923-02-23

To complete the set it will be
necessary to locate some twenty
four additional volumes. Like those
just presented to the United States
Supreme Court, it is probable that
Chief Justice Marshall autograph "a
each volume across the title page,
so there should be no difficulty In
identifying the missing volumes.
Hope to Assemble Them.
Many of them, it is believed, are
now in the private libraries of at
torneys or in the possession of pub
lie libraries. Those possessing them,
it is hoped by local authorities in
teresting themselves in reassenl-
bling the set and making it a me-
mortal to the famous jurist, will un-
derstand the propriety of aiding in
completing the collection by ten
dering the volumes owned by
them to the United States Supreme
Court.
AS was pointed out by an emf
nent jurist today:
This is probably the only in
stance where the United States Su-
preme Court, acting as such, would
feel it could properly accept a
present. That the set is of unique
historical value in connection with
the growth of American laws, and
properly belongs to the United
States Supreme Court is the inevit-
able conclusion reached when their
toward that body is
considered. Certainly this will be
recognized by every lawyer, and 1
am sure that the present owners
will
ciate the opportunity of aiding in
collecting the set, which will be
by every attorney COM
ing before the Supreme Court"
1t has beel- suggested that ma
hogany shelf be placed below the
bench in the Supreme Court and
that the eight volumes already
owned by the court be placed upon
it. AS the other volumes are re-
ceived, it is said, they can be added
to the collection. in this way they
would always be before the lawyers
pleading before the bench, reminders
Of the great jurist who did so much
to define constitutional law.
In Fairly Good Shape.
While the eight volumes are in a
fairly good state of preservation it
may be that the Supreme Court will
decide to have them supplied with
covers. Chief Justice
Taft is quoted as saying he favored
the plan and as having volunteered
to supply the cases.
Although the signature Of Chief
justice Marshall is faded it can be
read easily. Several of them also
bear the autograph of his son.
How the volumes came to be in
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion's library is one of those un-
explained Government mysteries no
one seems able to solve. That they
were in possession of the library for
years is about all that is known con-
corning them.
When the history of the volumes
became known, the question of pre-
senting them to the United States
Supreme Court was taken up with
Chief Justice Taft. The latter ex-
pressed his willingness to accept
them on behalf of the court, with
the result that the transfer was
effected.
