Trustee Questions Use of Whole
Fortune to That End.

The American Security and Trust
Company has fund of S71,Oo0 and
an apartment worth $4,000 which it
does not know what to do with.
This unusual situation is disclosed
in a suit filed by the company as
trustee of the estate of Miss Mary Ann
Spencer, who died June 8, 1919, leav-
ing no heirs or next-of-kin as far as
the trustee has been able to find.
The suit is directed against the un-
known heirs and next of kin of Miss
Spencer and against the District of
Columbia, which would be entitled to
the personal estate if the deceased
has no next-ofkin and the provision
in doubt should be held invalid. The
real estate in the latter event would
go to the United States, it is said.

Before starting my climb up the

"I started my climb at dusk, taking
advantage of the nightly freeze-up.
Two nights were required for the
ascent. The last nights climb was

my young manhood I had valuable

from ten miles away I learned the
overwhelming news. The world was
at war!

ARMY AIRMEN FACE
MOST PERILOUS HOP
World Flyers Ready to Make 878-

CORDOVA, Alaska, May 15.-De-
layed yesterday by inclement weather,
three United States Army aviators,
headed by Lieut.. Lowell H. Smith, at
Attu Island, the most western tip of
the Aleutian Islands, were hoping
they would be able to hop off today
for Paramashiru' Island, in the kurile
group, on the next jump of their
World-encircling trip.
American possessions across the
Bering Sea to the first of the Jap
anese empire islands is considered the
most perilous leg of the entire 27.O00-
mile aerial journey around the earth,
as the S7S-mile stretch must be made
by dead reckoning and by use of the
compass.
Nearly all the storms that approach
the north shore and come southwark
to the United States on the Pacific
Coast have their origin in this dis
trict. Head winds are frequently
strong and fog is plentiful at this
time of the year.
During the past week all of the ma
chimes have been thoroughly over
hauled and inspected, and everything
is in readiness for the word from
Lieut.. Smith to leave.

Hugh Smith and son, Hugh, have
been busy the past week breaking
the road to the Pandora preparatory

while the snow is on and before the
ice breaks up as the road to the
Pan is impossible.
Owing to the fast melting snow last
week it was thought advisable to put
on an extra team to break the road
to the Bon Ton and Roy Fackler has
been working on it. He reports lots
of snow from the Mohawk up.
